Today, we’d like to share a little about ancient secrets of energy healing. Our Light-Life Tools are ancient science rediscovered; they help restore the health of the environment and mankind.

When Slim Spurling met Credo Mutwa, a Zulu sangoma, in South Africa in 2005, he gave him one of our Light-Life Tools. Here is an excerpt of the Book In the Mind of a Master: “I presented him with a coil of my invention, newly produced in 2000.  He then expounded at great length on the fact that coils identical to this have been used by the tribal women for various practices in healing of physical ailments, removal of negative energies from the village, and improving crops.  He gave the historical use of the coil in tribal practice as beginning over 4,000 years ago.”

Today, there is an increasing global acceptance and harmonization of various medicinal systems and practices, as more people seek alternative and complementary therapies to our standardized Western medicine practices.

Our modern world is full of toxins, chemicals, pollution, and artificial devices that disconnect us from the natural world. By embracing ancient healing techniques, we can detoxify, enhance chakra clearing, rebalance our auric field and chi, and release physical, emotional, and mental blockages. These ancient practices can also help us attune to our natural world and ecosystems. We can begin to focus on the gentle sounds, dappled light, and abundant plant life of the natural world, and help us quiet our always racing minds.

5 Secrets Ancient Healers Used that Make Excellent Complementary Therapies Today

Ancient healers used a variety of techniques to promote healing and well-being. Those that resonate well with us today, and are often used as complementary therapies include:

  • Intuition
  • Sound therapy
  • Light therapy
  • Plant medicine
  • Sacred geometry

Intuition: Expanding Consciousness with Mind-Body Awareness

Ancient healers – and healers today – often start by listening to a mix of intuition and experience. In the same way, when we become more intuitive, we may realize exactly how the body is built to always renew and heal itself.

For this reason, developing a stronger mind-body awareness can help us tap into this innate ability and promote overall well-being.

Sound Therapy: Exploring the Vibrations of Nature

The world’s oldest medical practices used sound therapy because everything in nature vibrates.

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine: The practice of Qi Gong (pronounced chi gong) incorporates six healing sounds that help balance the body’s energy in conjunction with physical movement.
  • Ayurveda: This ancient Indian healing system uses specific sounds and mantras, such as Om chanting and Prana, to heal and restore balance.
  • Ancient Egypt: Healers used “toning.” This is manipulating the sound of the vowel with their breath and voice to create therapeutic sounds.
  • Ancient Greece: Greek physicians incorporated musical instruments, such as flutes, lyres, and zitters into their healing practices.

Changing the frequency is literally uplifting, as higher vibrations are calming vibrations.

Plant Medicine: Absorbing Nature’s Goodness

Plant medicine, aka “botanical medicine” or “phytomedicine,” has been an integral part of healing practices across many cultures for over 5,000 years .

African and Native American indigenous cultures often incorporate herbs into healing rituals. Similarly, TCM and Ayurvedic medical systems also use herbal therapies.

Some of the plants that carry healing potential are:

  • bark
  • berries
  • flowers
  • leaves
  • oils
  • roots
  • seeds

Chamomile, Echinacea, and St. John’s wort are just a few examples of many medicinal plants with natural healing properties.*

We are still using plant medicine today. For example, some pharmaceutical drugs are still manufactured from botanicals, while about 3/4 come from synthetic chemical compounds.

Sacred Geometry

Certain geometric shapes, patterns, and proportions are believed to hold deep spiritual and symbolic significance. As a matter of fact, many world religions, such as Tibetan Buddhism, Chinese, Christianity, Hinduism, and Islam, use geometric patterns and shapes.


Sacred Geometry relies on mathematical formulas, fractals, and ratios. We can see them in various shapes and patterns in nature — think of tree leaves, snowflakes and shells. Even our DNA takes these patterns.

Many believe we can tap into these energy patterns for healing and well-being by incorporating sacred geometry into our lives.

Tapping ancient wisdom to heal our modern world

Modern studies are catching up – often validating the ancient wisdom about the value of sound and light therapy, the full potential of plant medicine, and the capacity of mind-body techniques to help the body heal.
