With Einstein’s equation of E=mc2 as a platform, research into “energy” has grown rapidly. Quantum physics is the study of subatomic particles and submits that every person, place, thing and non-thing, seen and unseen is made up of such particles. Even what we consider empty space is filled with quantum particles or energy. We all have an energetic field that extends our physical form and is commonly referred to as the human energy field. This field influences and is influenced by the universal energy field which surrounds our environment. A component of our energy field is the chakra system. This system energetically interacts with all the external fields, feeding and influencing our state of being. To achieve optimal health we should seek to understand the relevance energy has on our lives and how it applies to living in abundance on all levels. Join John Hicks, MD, interviewed by his wife, Betsy Hicks, on this fascinating topic and learn how this will change medicine.
