Evidence, Experience & Energy: A Physician’s Perspective on Healing

1 hour 17 minutes

What happens when a board-certified medical doctor discovers energy healing—and realizes science and spirituality have been saying the same thing all along? Medical doctor Ana Baptista, MD (hematologist, 18 years experience) bridges Western medicine and energy healing. Discover the neuroscience behind spinal energetics, why your heart is a second brain, real healing stories (chronic pain resolved in one session), and the emotional roots of disease. Learn about co-regulation, alignment, and why science and spirituality are finally collaborating. For anyone seeking deeper healing or curious about energy medicine from a scientific perspective.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Your mind is your evolutionary survival mechanism—like claws and teeth for humans

The heart has its own neural network and can sense magnetic fields independently

Energy work is your nervous system releasing stored tension and trauma

Chronic pain can resolve rapidly when the body feels safe to release

Autoimmune diseases may be connected to patterns of self-criticism

Midlife crisis is your purpose asking if you're aligned with your truth

Medicine is an art informed by science, not just science alone • Intuition is your nervous system processing faster than conscious thought

Disease often has emotional roots that Western medicine doesn't address

Alignment (spine, soul, life) is the key to reducing suffering

Science and energy medicine are complementary, not contradictory
