Acupuncturists and quantum physicists have a lot in common. They are both working in fields that are rooted in an inter-connected Universe. According to traditional Taoist cosmology everything in the universe is connected to everything else – nothing is separate. This makes the universe a huge holographic field in which each part contains the whole, just as people’s ears contain an interactive map of the entire body.
Taoism views humans as microcosms of the Universe, and each of our Organs has a direct correspondence to a phase of energy movement. Acupuncture was originated in ancient times as a system for balancing and re-harmonizing the human body and psyche with the cycles of nature. Ancient Taoism also included the principle of wu wei, or results with minimal action, a quality often embodied by effective and experienced acupuncturists.
Recent trends toward “modernizing” the acupuncture profession to better fit into the paradigms of our allopathic medical professions is a mixed bag. The benefit is that this trend is creating more jobs for acupuncturists and helping increase acceptance of our services. I believe that it is vital, however, that in this process we don’t leave behind the deep cosmic roots of our profession, the place from where its greatest power springs.
The field of Quantum physics was developed by European physicists starting in 1925. They observed the strange behavior of photons of light that were not following the laws of Newtonian physics, which had been the basis for explaining the physical universe up to that time. The field has grown rapidly since then. Quantum physicists have performed numerous laboratory experiments that have confirmed the ancient Taoist view of a holographic universe in which everything is inter-connected with everything else.
In this article I will provide some striking examples of quantum research studies and theories that are literally mindblowing in their scope and implications for our reality.
#1: We have nuclear power in our bodies
There is massive amounts of energy locked into matter, as expressed in Einstein’s famous equation E = mc2 According to this equation, if all the energy in one gram of matter (like a few grains of rice) was converted into matter it would produce about the same release of energy as the atom bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. It could power a 100 watt light bulb for 30,000 years or power a small city for a few weeks.
Suffice it to way, there is vast untapped power in the molecules of our body. Patients complaining about fatigue actually have no lack of available energy in their bodies! Something in their energy processing systems, or in the conditioning of their minds, is blocking their access to their innate energy.
#2 DNA communicates
DNA exists in all our cells as double helix spirals, and carries genetic information in the form of nucleot
