Case Study 1 - Part 1

Breaking through the scepticism barrier of alternative therapies

This article follows on from the report in ECHOES Issue 376 on Bio Energy/Bi Aura Therapy by George Mackenzie. This is a relatively recently revised therapy based on ancient healing arts and the body’s energy field. This is a first hand account by a volunteer who received no payment from either George Mackenzie or Echoes -

I was volunteered to undergo Bio Energy Treatment at the hands of George Mackenzie, as was stated in ECHOES, issue 376.

I was sceptical, I am not convinced by complementary alternative therapies but, if I am strictly honest, I have almost no experience of them.

I read the press reports as well as leaflets on Bio Energy Therapy and I was quite astounded by the claims ranging from solving migraine/back pain problems to still living with cancer, over 10 years after being given three months to live.

So what was wrong with me that I needed treatment? No comment from the family, please. A general malaise – a feeling that I was under par, depressed, lacked energy, was achy, regular headaches, frequently exhausted, very poor sleeping pattern – I possibly could add frequently stressed out and bad-tempered.

I could have put these down to residual ME and/or long term dependency on insulin. I wasn’t looking for a cure for diabetes – but if I could get rid of all the niggly things which together make one mega barrier to leading a decent life – that could only have a beneficial effect on the diabetes, bringing to a conclusion a vicious circle which would disappear like a corkscrew.

That’s me: what about George? Down-to-earth, convinced (from his own experience) and convincing about bio energy. I decided I would undertake three sessions at weekly intervals, followed by a further session one month later. Then a pause to evaluate before this article.

Aware that I had revealed more than I would normally, I doubted if I could stand still for 30 minutes as requested but closed me eyes and listened to the music.

I could sense where George was and I heard the swoosh of the wind as George moved his hands, the wind out of proportion to his actions (I peeped).

Then came the light.

I kid you not – this was disconcerting. It was a bright white gleaming light that George scooped up from knee level and it flooded into my left eye where I’d recently had surgery.

This probably lasted five minutes. No, it wasn’t a torch. I searched – I’m the sceptic, remember. I can give no rational explanation for that light but I can see it still.

Now this was not a St Paul type conversation on the road to Damascus. I did not become a believer instantly in alternative therapies. To be honest, George was a tad taken aback, as each client is treated as an individual and no two reactions/experiences are the same.

I had other effects – burning fingers, tingly feet, hot down one side of my body, cold down the other. Nothing unpleasant.

George could feel ‘knots’ in my energy field outside my body and he exercised his non-tactile approach to unravel them.

We talked and I was warned that it might get worse before it got better. And it did.

After an initial joie de vivre, I wept tears of tiredness after a day’s work; but towards the end of the week, I found my sleep pattern was more normal and I felt refreshed when I woke up.

Slightly less sceptical, I was drawn back for my next session by that inexplicable white light.
