Healing
in the
Aquarian Age
by
Marcia Starck
 With
Uranus in Aquarius, we are beginning to see
several new healing modalities spring up.
While many of these have been around for
awhile, the demands of this time are causing
them to become more visible and accessible.
Uranus
rules electricity, magnetism, computer
technology, as well as our higher nervous
system. Aquarius and its polar opposite Leo
govern the process of oxygenation and
circulation.
One
of the strongest new healing modalities that
is becoming popular is magnetic field therapy.
The progressive degradation of the Earth's
magnetic field, combined with our increased
electronic environment, is responsible for
many ailments ranging from fatigue and
headaches to immune dysfunction. Therefore, we
all need to replenish our electromagnetic
energy. In an attempt to deflect the
"electrical smog", people are
placing magnets near their computers or next
to copper tubing. Others are using magnetic
sleep systems, such as mattresses and pillows,
to balance their magnetic energy. Still others
are using magnets on various parts of their
bodies to increase circulation and help rid
themselves of pain.
Scientists
have discovered that if a blood vessel passes
at right angles over an alternating magnetic
field -- first a north pole magnet and then a
south pole magnet -- the blood vessel will
expand, thus increasing its circulation
capacity.1 The Japanese developed a
magnetic pad with a checkerboard pattern of
north and south pole magnets, so that any
blood vessel going in any direction will
expand as it crosses over the pad. They put
these magnets into mattresses, pillows, car
seats, bracelets, rings, and other devices.
Since
1958 there has been much research done in
Japan on the use of these devices for various
health conditions, which they refer to as
Magnetic Deficiency Syndrome. In the treatment
of sprains, strains, broken bones, burns, and
cuts, magnetic field therapy allows these
conditions to heal better, more quickly, and
with less scar tissue. In the treatment of
chronic conditions, such as some forms of
arthritis, degenerative joint conditions,
diabetic ulcers, and cancer, magnetic field
therapy has shown dramatic results in
reversing the condition.2
One
of the new diagnostic methods being used in
modern medicine is MRI (magnetic resonance
imaging). This system visualizes tissues
within the body without invasive techniques or
x-rays and is used prior to surgery to look
for damage to injured joints or other
abnormalities. Other tools in hospitals
include MKG (magnetocardiogram), similar to an
EKG, and MEGS (magnetoencephalogram), similar
to an EEG.
Yet,
the use of magnets is very old. In the 4th
century B.C.E., Aristotle wrote of the
therapeutic properties of magnets, while in
the 2nd century C.E., Greek physician Galen
used natural magnets to relieve pain from many
ailments. It was in the 1st century C.E. when
the Chinese began documenting effects on
health that were related to variations in the
Earth's magnetic field.3
Buryl
Payne, Ph.D., inventor of the first
biofeedback instruments, discusses the many
ways magnetism affects living organisms. In
his books, Getting
Started in Magnetic Healing and The
Body Magnetic & Getting Started in
Magnetic Healing and Magnetic
Healing, Advanced Techniques for the
Application of Magnetic, he cites
things such as the pH balance, hormone
production from the endocrine glands, and the
altering of enzyme activity as the result of
depleted magnetic fields. Today there is much
research in the U.S. and Europe on magnetic
healing, and Russia has been using magnets for
a long time to cure various types of ailments
and to speed recovery after surgery.
As
I write this article, Uranus is exactly
opposite my Pluto to the degree and minute,
and within 1 ? of squaring my Ascendant. I am
finding magnetic healing to be extremely
helpful in balancing the higher energies
coming through.
Another
Uranian field, computer technology, is also
being used for healing, especially diagnostic
work. At a healing conference in Pagosa
Springs, Colorado, I met someone who had a
scanner that scanned 23 acupuncture points on
the face and then printed a series of numbers
on a computer. These numbers were then used to
interpret both physiological imbalances and
their psychological roots. The accuracy of the
conclusions was phenomenal. No doubt someone
who has spent many years studying Oriental
facial diagnosis could come up with similar
conclusions, but in this Aquarian Age, things
are being done quickly!
There
are many computer programs that work along
with Radionics, a system that measures the
vibration of a person energetically by taking
a saliva or hair sample, and then printing out
organ deficiencies, nutritional supplements,
and herbs. There are also many homeopathic
computer programs that analyze symptoms and
then come up with the appropriate remedy.
Another
area of healing that is coming into its own is
sound therapy. Working with sound waves to
balance existing physical, emotional, and
psychic states is very powerful. There are
many tapes out that work with the frequencies
of sacred geometry and recreate sounds to
balance an individual's own frequencies or to
provide frequencies that she or he lacks.
Sound wave therapy is helping ailments ranging
from PMS to Bell's palsy.
Additionally,
as we connect with higher Uranian frequencies,
we need more oxygen to balance our bodies and
renew our nervous systems. Dark green leafy
vegetables, such as mustard greens, collard
greens, kale, and chard, are rich in
chlorophyll, which provides oxygen to the
body, just as it does to plants. Chlorophyll
is the magnesium ion and magnesium is ruled by
Uranus. Drinking liquid chlorophyll can also
be helpful, especially after airplane travel,
which knocks out our own magnetic fields.
Chlorophyll helps to oxygenate our systems.
Other nutritional supplements that are
antioxidants include germanium, CoEnzyme Q-10,
and pycognenol. These may be obtained in
capsules, tablets, liquid, or colloidal forms.
In
this Aquarian Age, we are going to be using
nervine herbs in greater amounts than
previously. Basic nervine herbs are chamomile,
a mild relaxant that is especially good for
children; catnip, a calming tea for
nervousness and upset stomachs; and spearmint,
which is a mild nervine that can be mixed with
other herbs. Stronger herbs include vervain,
which is also a balancer for the female
system; valerian, which has an anti-spasmodic
effect and is used for insomnia; and hops,
another good herb for insomnia and deep
relaxation.
Flower
remedies also work well to relieve physical
symptoms of nervousness and tension, which are
caused by anxieties and worries. Bach Flower
Remedies include Vervain, which helps balance
stress, tension, and overworked nerves, and
Star of Bethlehem, which is used for the
effects of shock and is one of the ingredients
of Rescue Remedy. Flower Essence Remedies from
California (FES remedies) include Chamomile,
which helps with the feeling of being anxious
and restless, and Dill, which is used for
being overwhelmed by too much stimuli.
Healing
in the 21st century will include many
techniques that work with the etheric body,
such as Reiki, polarity therapy, and Jin Shin
Do. As we become more sensitive instruments,
we will require more subtle therapies. Our
continuous challenge will be to balance the
electronic pollution bombarding our nervous
systems so that we will not lose sight of our
real purpose in being here.
