HEED-136 Introduction to Energy Medicine
This course is designed to expose students to the foundation of energy medicine. Energy medicine is the bases of a growing number of Eastern and Western healing approaches that are used to promote health, healing and well-being. It combines scientific and rational knowledge with intuitive understanding of energy in the body and in the environment. Working with the body's energy, students will use various energy medicine practices to explore the concept of healing and disease prevention. Upon completion of the course students will have an understanding of how multisensory experiences redefine what and how we know our bodies and the healing process. Consumers of health care are increasingly savvy about the benefits of complementary approaches to health care. Health care providers need to be in the best position to support consumer exploration of complementary and alternative approaches as well as engage in practices that promote vital health and optimal well-being.
