My Entanglement with Metaphysics—Another Pivotal Moment on the MoodShift Journey

"When one door closes, another opens.” —Alexander Graham Bell

Seventeen years ago I was presented with an opportunity to explore what quantum physics might have to do with healing. I said yes to that opportunity; then walked through a door that closed behind me. 

That door was my portal into the world of quantum physics that forever changed my life.

In my hunger to understand healing at a greater depth, I discovered the world outside of western medicine was filled with exciting possibilities that made sense to me. Why did my medical educators never entertain the idea that the body was designed to heal itself? Why were so many brilliant physicians and researchers who explored the possibilities that energy, frequency, and vibration could be a valuable asset to help people heal, get “run out of town”—destroying their valuable research, inventions and careers as their respective medical societies chastised them?

As a physician, I studied many of the traditional sciences on my journey to earning my medical degree.

Quantum physics was not part of that schooling as it is typical for doctors to study Newtonian physics, which is as different as night and day. 

With fifty-four years of life behind me and all the experiences I had encountered, somehow I still felt there was so much more to learn. So many questions—so few answers. Quantum physics is referred to by some physicists as the science of possibilities. This idea piqued my interest to learn more. So…I dove in.

My deeper dive into quantum physics was introducing me to a vast invisible world where untapped potential energy exists; a source that we draw from to produce our outside physical world. As these concepts nagged at me, my attention turned to learning more.

During my experiences as a physician in the throws of life and death emergencies, I would pray for assistance as uncertain outcomes rested in my hands. Was I dreaming? Were my prayers being answered before my very eyes when the events I was experiencing suddenly shifted from near disaster to a rescue with a happy ending? Was it simply good luck, as some would suggest? Or could it be that there was an energy source unbeknownst to me that I was plugged into that influenced that shift, saving that life.

After having been immersed in the mystery of the quantum for the last  seventeen years, this much I  believe—our thoughts and emotions evoke frequencies/vibrations that move out into the space around us crossing distances unknown. Our current technology validates the presence of this energy traveling in waves out into the universe. How and why these waves of energy become the particles that form our physical world remains largely a beautiful mystery.  

This beautiful mystery sometimes referred to as “manifestation” has kept spiritualists and scientists excited for centuries. One thing is clear from the “new science”—our thoughts and emotions are not just ephemeral things, they create quantifiable chemical changes in our bodies moving our physiology toward health or driving disease.  

After closing my clinical practice, I said good-bye to what was looking forward to what could be. Inspired by all that I was learning I  moved in the direction of my next venture. It was not without its challenges.

The Universe truly has a sense of humor. What I thought was calling to me was not what I was expecting. It was better.

If I was to embrace the world of possibilities, it could not be half-hearted (as I needed to learn). For me, I would first have to learn the true meaning of trust; learn to be my authentic self; nurture my integrity (which waffled at times); and stand strong against the forces that kept trying to topple me. Challenging the status quo is not without consequences. 

Today, I believe in one unified force of energy in the Universe I like to call God. I no longer believe in coincidence as I once did, but rather the existence of the mysterious quantum field—a place where all potential outcomes are possible—a place for us to discover and consciously use.  I believe our free will still plays a central role in how things turn out. I am willing to play in this world of possibilities. It is anything but mundane!

I am still on a steep learning curve. I have gratitude for a partner that revels in the beauty and mystery of the quantum field, as do I. 

As we journey together, our fascination and understanding of energy grows. We want this world to heal for the individual and collectively.

I believe we are all invited to awaken to the fact that we are supernatural; in possession of the ability to heal (using the pharmacy in our heads), and create life from the limitless energy that the quantum field provides.
