Glossary

Until I feel more comfortable putting these definitions into my own words, I have typed them up from the books I have sourced below:

The Subtle Body:  An Encyclopedia of Your Energetic Anatomy - Page 6:

As Oschman defines it, energy medicine actually involves the study and applications of the body’s relationship to electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields, as well as light, sound, and other forms of energy.  The body produces these energies and also responds to them in their natural and artificial (human-generated) states.  The terms energy medicine, energetic healing, biofiield healing, bioenergetic healing, chakra healing, aura healing, energy work, meridian-based healing, energy anatomy, vibrational medicine, subtle energy healing, and dozens of other similar labels simply refer to practices relating to a certain vibrational or frequency-based level of energy.

The Subtle Body:  An Encyclopedia of Your Energetic Anatomy - Page 16:

Mechanical energy:  called working energy, in that movement occurs through a force acting on a mass, such as expanding gas firing a cannon ball.  Sound is a form of mechanical energy.

Chemical energy:  Uses energy stored in molecular bonds, the forces holding molecules together.  An example is photosynthesis.

Thermal Energy: The part of a system that increases with temperature.  In thermodynamics, thermal energy is internal to a system called heat.  Heat is defined as a flow of energy from one object to another caused by a difference in temperature between these two objects.

The Subtle Body:  An Encyclopedia of Your Energetic Anatomy - Page 23:

To cure is to erase symptoms.  To heal is to assure a state of wholeness.

Being an energy healer, whether allopathic, complementary, Eastern, Western, spiritual, or any other sort, involves understanding energy and its effects.  Being a subtle energy healer requires comprehending an even more unique set of issues.

The Subtle Body:  An Encyclopedia of Your Energetic Anatomy - Page 29:

Clairaudience (also called channeling and transmediumship): Gaining information from the spiritual realm, often involving the entrance of an entity in one’s own body.

Clairsentience: Knowing about the external world with no known source of the information.

Distant or absent healing: Ability to conduct diagnoses, perceive another’s situation or needs, or send healing energy from a distance.

Divination: Obtaining psychic information by calling upon spirits or peering into the future.

Dowsing: The use of instruments, such as pendulums or dowsing rods, to transfer energy or obtain information.

Empathy: Sensing others’ emotions, needs, or physical conditions. Includes body-based empathy, the ability to detect smells, feelings, sensations, bodily reactions, and the awareness of others’ states in the self.

Hands-on healing: Use of the hands for diagnosis, interpretation, or energy shifting, either for present or distant subjects or groups.

Kinesiology: Sensing muscular change and reading the body’s messages accordingly.

Mind-based techniques: The use of mind-altering substances or activities to activate intuition, such as hypnosis, sacred medicine, foods, music, sounds, and colors.

Precognition: Foresight of the future.

Projection: Ability to see into, sense, or visit other current realities.

Prophecy: Ability to see or sense what might happen, if all goes according to a divine plan.

From Wikipedia:

Ayurveda (Sanskrit: आयुर्वेद; Āyurveda, “the knowledge for long life”; /ˌ.ərˈvdə/[1]) or ayurvedic medicine is a system of traditional medicine native to India[2] and a form of alternative medicine.

An obelisk (from Greek ὀβελίσκος - obeliskos,[1] diminutive of ὀβελός - obelos, “spit, nail, pointed pillar”[2]) is a tall, four-sided, narrow tapering monument which ends in a pyramid-like shape at the top, and is said to resemble a petrified ray of the sun-disk.
