Finally: Autism & Hope

By Linda Kent

According to a federal survey published last February in the Washington Post, the most thorough ever conducted, 1 in every 150 children in the United Stated has autism. While many experts have their personal theories and explanations about the causes and solutions for autism, most therapies are costly and offer limited success.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, is the fastest growing developmental disability in our country, impacting social interaction and communication skills of over 300,000 children, a figure higher than most recent estimates.

Children with autism often cannot share their thoughts and needs effectively and suffer varying degrees of developmental delays. Boys are four times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls.

A new approach is desperately needed now that will bring children and young adults with ASD into balance. Potential causes include diet deficiencies, toxic build-up, vaccinations, environmental sensitivities, but the autism puzzle still lacks a whole healing picture.

Relief for thousands of families has come from ancient healing modalities from the East, an idea gaining respect in the West. These special children respond to Energy Psychology and other Energy Therapies like Tong Ren that are effective adaptations of ancient methodologies.

Everything is a form of energy. As we know, at our very core we are energetic beings, and our bodies have a profound electrical nature. Just as blood flowing through our veins is essential to our life, the unseen energetic life force is just as pivotal.

The proper flow of energy coursing through our body is essential for our wellbeing. When the flow of energy stops, the life force leaves our bodies.

Blockages in our energy pathways can occur when we’re anxious, angry, experience trauma, make poor food choices, are exhausted or exposed to too much stimuli and become stressed.

Many children and young adults with ASD are bombarded with stimuli they cannot handle. This can be caused by electromagnetic radiation, loud noises, visual overload and other disruptive energies.

Things most of us filter out of our daily experiences overwhelm an intensely sensitive child with autism. When this happens, the child’s energy field becomes frenetic and overloaded causing these kids to tune out or act out as a survival mechanism. They are unable to process the vast input of sensory information coming at them. Does this sound familiar to you in your life?

The truth is, that as we find solutions for these children to become functional members of our community, we are perhaps ensuring our own ability to survive in an increasingly hectic and disorienting life. What we do to help them will be helping us all.

Their unbalanced energetic fields can be greatly helped, through the use of Energy Therapies which mend the circuit breakers they have blown, and recalibrate the body’s electrical system to handle a more refined, higher voltage.

Energy is directed to specific quadrants and body meridians, or intersections, and brings balance to cognitive functions and emotions. For example, when working with Tong Ren therapy, energy can be directed to the hypothalamus in the brain to elicit a calming effect or to Broca’s area to stimulate speech or to energize the frontal lobes which are usually sluggish in children with ASD. Brain circulation can also be increased for improved cognitive skills. Just like the blown fuse that cuts the source of the light in the home, the child’s capacity to function is reset, and infused with new meaning and light. Hope is instilled in families.

The beautiful part of the energy methodologies is that when energy tools are taught to caretakers, they not only help the children but provide a positive shift in the parents’ energy, restoring harmony to the family. This empowering of an often helpless feeling parent is a sweet and profound part of the families’ healing.

Energy Therapies bring some semblance of hope and sanity to an increasingly frustrating and futile problem that our western therapies have been inadequate in treating.

By being aware of the breakthroughs available through energy transmissions, you can share it with a family that is affected. Or, if you are able, include your own healing prayers and hope for our treatment of this emerging epidemic affecting our children. Our planet needs healing and that includes helping kids with ASD so they can move gently into our world to express their unique gifts.
