Kevin
J. Todeschi, editor-in-chief of Venture Inward, published by A.R.E.,
interviewed Mietek and Margaret Wirkus for an article on Bioenergy.
Kevin Todeschi: Perhaps the best question
to start with would be to ask when Mietek first discovered his ability
to work with energy and healing, and how his involvement in this field
progressed?
Mietek and Margaret Wirkus: As early
as four, Mietek often observed and commented about the “colorful,
glittering clouds” that he saw surrounding both people and animals.
He also performed his first “healing” at four and a half
on his asthmatic sister. In fact, Mietek was able to make his sister
asthma attacks pass after several seconds of bioenergy work. It was
a phenomenon that was observed by his family, as well as by his family’s
physician.
Shortly thereafter, Mietek realized that this ability and his interest
in healing was quite different than that of other children. Thirty
years would pass before Mietek devoted himself to the field fulltime.
During that period, he continued to develop his healing abilities.
He studied Eastern meditation and breathing techniques. He learned
how to regulate the flow of energy in his own body and within his
energy fields. He also examined a variety of esoteric sources concerning
the connection between the mind, the emotions, and the physical body,
and compared them to his own experiences.
Eventually, Mietek became one of the first three bioenergy therapists,
working in Polish medical centers along with physicians. It was this
experience that convinced him of the need for close cooperation between
the medical profession and bioenergy practitioners.
KT: Poland officially recognized bioenergy
therapy in 1982. Do you think that this field will gain even greater
prominence in the United States in the near future?
MMW: I certainly hope so. Research has
shown that it is possible to have an affect upon the body’s
energy systems of both the healer and the healee. In the laboratory
this affect has been measured. For example, Dr. Elmer Green of the
Menninger Clinic recorded sudden electrical surges in Mietek that
on a number of occasions registered eighty volts or more. Higher surges
occurred when Mietek was “just conscious of creating a charge
and sending it.” According to Dr. Green, creating an electrical
force of that magnitude “isn’t really possible. Except
for the fact that it happens!”
There are also an ever-growing number of physicians and health-care
professionals interested in this field. Over the years, hundreds of
physicians, nurses, medical technicians, psychotherapists, and other
health-care professionals have taken part in our classes. The interest
will only continue to grow.
KT: Can you explain what occurs during
a bioenergy therapy session?
MMS: The phenomenon we call life has two basic components:
the first is biochemical and the other pertains to energy. We are
all built from these two components – biochemical matter and
energy. The energy that animates the bodies of humans and animals
is known as bioenergy – the energy of life. This force surrounds
every cell, providing a blueprint for the physical body and also serving
as a medium for the flow of information through the body. Bioenergy
also extends outside of the physical body, creating low frequency
electromagnetic fields around us (as well as other subtle energy fields).
When energy withdraws from the physical body (and EEG and EKG can
no longer be detected) it results in clinical death. Clinical death
initiates the process of decomposing the body into small biochemical
particles.
Everything that happens to a physical body is reflected in its energy
flows. Therefore, a skilled bioenergy practitioners can detect these
fields, as well as energy flows in the body. When either the fields
of the energy flow are not balanced problems with health may result.
A bioenergy practitioner is able to restore the balance between biochemical
and bioenergy components, and return these flows and fields to their
original state. The result is an improvement in wellbeing.
Essentially, bioenergy practice involved the replenishment of human
“bio-currents” and the elimination of energy disturbances
and blocks. It is a non touch technique. When Mietek is working, he
senses the energy flow around a client’s body. He can feel imbalanced
or congested areas and he can then use his own energy to the troubled
areas.
KT: Are these energy fields similar to
what Edgar Cayce called the aura?
MMS: Mietek work suggest that there are
four internal levels of bioenergy that flow in our bodies. This energy
flows through the skeletal structure of the body, through blood circulation,
through the nervous system, and through the skin. All of these energy
flows may be facilitated by bodywork practices, such as massage, chiropractic,
Rolfing, acupuncture, etc.
He also recognizes three external levels of bioenergy that surround
our bodies. One of them is called (after ancient Greek doctors) aura.
It is the same field which some healers recognize and call an emotional
field.
You may find it interesting that we first learned about the Edgar
Cayce information in books on the black market in Poland. So much
of what Cayce had to say was really decades ahead of the scientific
community. It also parallels much of Mietek’s experiences.
KT: The Cayce information suggests that
oftentimes illness manifests at an energetic level before it manifests
at a physical level. When you are working with healing, do you ever
encounter this phenomenon – illnesses that are about to manifest
in the physical body?
MMS: Yes, as we have already mentioned,
bioenergy practice is a non touch technique. Mietek never touches
the physical body of his clients and focuses on the fields which are
located around each body. Possible future problems with health can
be sensed in these fields before they manifest in the body. It’s
important to remember, however, that a bioenergy practitioner should
never diagnose an illness. He or she can certainly refer a client
to a doctor for additional checkup, but as soon as you label a serious
illness oftentimes a client can be defeated simply by his or her own
mental attitude about that illness. If you think you have incurable
cancer, or if you think you only have three months to live, what are
the chances that the mind and body are going to be able to overcome
your thoughts about that problem?
KT: Since illness can be detected in
the energy field before it manifests physically, is it possible to
follow through on physical remedies to prevent an illness?
MMW: Physical remedies have certain vibrations.
If these vibrations are matched to what the person is missing, taking
particular remedies should bring the relief.
Physical treatments can positively affect a condition only when a
persons mental level is ready for healing. When there is a will to
get better and a will to live. Certainly, one can work with such a
person with bio energy, which corrects the fields before their vibrations
have an effect on physical as well as mental/emotional and spiritual
components of the individual.
KT: This is really a two-part question.
First of all, does the health of the bioenergy practitioner affect
the client?; and, secondly is it possible that an energetic illness
in the client’s field could be picked up by a bioenergy practitioner?
MMW: The answer to the first question
is that bioenergy practitioners must ensure that they are medically,
physically, and psychological fit in order to practice because the
practitioners is transferring energy to areas in the client that are
deficient. There are practices which help bioenergy practitioners
to protect their fields against depletion and we teach these practices
in our training.
In terms of the second question, it is not possible to pick up a physical
illness, but very possible to pick up the symptoms of physical condition
their clients have. Without proper approach a practitioner could adversely
affect their own energy field for a time – perhaps feeling anxious,
feeling unsettled or feeling out of balance after a session. It is
for that reason that the bioenergy practitioner must learn at least
the very basic exercises which allow them to protect their own biofields.
