Julie Motz explores the intersection between energy healing and conventional medicine
- Julie Motz bridges energy healing and conventional medicine, advocating for the deep connection between emotional and physical health. Her book "Hands of Life: Use Your Body's Own Energy Medicine for Healing, Recovery and Transformation" explores this intersection, challenging traditional healthcare paradigms.
- In the 1990s, Motz collaborated with Dr. Mehmet Oz to integrate energy healing into high-stakes surgical settings — becoming one of the first practitioners to work alongside surgeons, transforming perceptions of the body as a "feeling entity" rather than a machine.
- Case studies like George (a Vietnam veteran) and Tracy (a breast cancer patient) demonstrated how addressing suppressed emotions — anger, fear or trauma — accelerated physical healing and reduced symptoms, highlighting the mind-body link.
- Motz linked prenatal/birth trauma to chronic illnesses like cancer, urging patients to release stored emotional pain. Her work expanded beyond individuals to promote "social healing," empowering communities (e.g., inner-city youth) through energy healing techniques.
- Motz envisions a healthcare paradigm where healing is collective, compassionate and rooted in emotional well-being. Her legacy advocates for a shift from symptom-focused treatment to holistic self-connection and societal transformation.
In a groundbreaking exploration of the intersection between energy healing and conventional medicine, Julie Motz has emerged as a trailblazer, challenging the boundaries of traditional healthcare practices. Her work, detailed in the book "
Hands of Life: Use Your Body's Own Energy Medicine for Healing, Recovery and Transformation," offers a compelling narrative that intertwines the emotional and physical realms, suggesting a profound connection between the two that could revolutionize patient care.
Motz's journey into the world of energy healing began in the 1970s. Introduced to "Fusion Groups," she experienced a pivotal moment that unlocked her understanding of the link between emotional expression and physical health. This revelation led her to study Reiki and other energy healing modalities, but it was witnessing a friend's remission from ovarian cancer — attributed to energy healing — that solidified her path.
The 1990s marked a significant turning point in Motz's career when she was invited by Dr. Mehmet Oz, then a young cardiothoracic surgeon at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, to bring her energy healing practices into the operating room. This collaboration was unprecedented, as Motz became one of the first energy healers to work alongside conventional medical professionals in such a high-stakes environment.
Her first experience in the operating room was a profound awakening. Overwhelmed by the emotional energy of the space, she sensed the body parts "screaming, muttering and moaning," perceiving the body not as a machine but as a living, feeling entity. This perspective was further reinforced during the transplant surgery of a patient named George, a Vietnam veteran with an LVAD implant. Motz's work with George, both pre- and post-surgery, highlighted the
critical role of emotional processing in recovery, as she encouraged him to confront his fears and express his anger.
The emotional intensity of the environment and the skepticism of some medical staff tested Motz's resolve. But her belief in the transformative power of energy healing drove her to persevere. Her work with patients like Tracy, who used Jin Shin Jyutsu to reduce breast lumps before a mastectomy, exemplified the potential of energy healing. Tracy's decision to address the emotional roots of her illness post-surgery underscored the importance of emotional healing in long-term recovery.
Motz's experiences led her to explore the connection between emotional trauma and chronic illness, including the controversial idea that prenatal and birth trauma could be linked to diseases like cancer. Her studies in embryology and her work with patients to release stored emotional pain further emphasized the need for a holistic approach to healing.
Despite facing skepticism from parts of the medical community, Motz remained steadfast in her conviction that emotional healing is integral to overall health. Her work extended beyond individual patients to encompass broader social transformation. She envisioned a world where
healing is a natural part of everyday life, not confined to hospitals and doctors. Her efforts with inner-city teenagers, teaching them energy healing techniques, aimed to empower them as agents of change in their communities.
Motz also championed the concept of "social healing," believing that healing is a collective process. By addressing our emotional wounds, she argued, we could begin to heal the societal issues of violence and disconnection. Her vision challenges us to rethink our approach to health and wellness, recognizing the deep connection between our emotional and physical well-being.
In conclusion, Motz's pioneering work serves as a testament to the power of love, compassion and the human spirit. Her journey invites every person to embrace a more holistic view of healing, one that acknowledges the profound
interplay between their emotions and physical health.
