A26 Harmonizing Bioenergy: techniques for creating a vital and harmonious energy flow in our body and mind
Until recently scientists believed that atoms were the building blocks of the material world. Recently they realized that these “building blocks” are simply dense manifestations of energy. This energy is the basic creative “essence” behind this material universe. In the future they will realize that the creative source of this energy is consciousness and that consciousness is the causal factor of all that exists in all planes. Energy, however, plays an extremely important role as the connecting link between consciousness, thought and action in our material reality. Energy is the connecting link between the spirit, the mind and the body. When there is insufficient energy in the soul-mind-body system, then there will not be health, peace, clarity, happiness, love or effective functioning on any level.

The future of the world depends on our children. The quality of our children and their ability to create a better world depends on us, but not in the way most may think. Let us consider here how we can help our children and ourselves to find harmony, health and happiness.
