Unlocking the Mystery of the Human Body: Energy, Resonance, and the Power of Belief

By Sara Smiley M.S. CCC-SLP

What If Western Medicine Has Been Missing Something?

The more I learn, the more I am in awe of how extraordinary we truly are.

The human body is not just a biological system—it’s a masterpiece of intelligence and complexity. Despite our technological advancements, we cannot create or reliably rebuild a human body. This suggests that it possesses a level of innate intelligence far beyond the conscious mind’s understanding. It’s an adaptive, self-repairing network that governs our unconscious behaviors, like breathing, and transforms conscious ones, like reading or writing, into automatic habits.

What if the body isn’t merely a collection of physical parts but a dynamic energy system, constantly adjusting to every experience, thought, and emotion? And what if the missing key to understanding its capabilities lies in the invisible forces—energy, vibration, and resonance—that animate it?

Have you ever considered how hard it is to kill the human body?

Your body faces millions of threats every day; poisons, toxins, injuries, and even self-inflicted harm like alcohol or stress. Yet here you are, alive and, for many of us, thriving. Your body fights off invaders, heals injuries, and balances countless processes all at once, often without you even noticing.

But here’s the paradox: while it’s incredibly hard to kill the body, you can be scared to death.

What does that tell us about the connection between the body and the mind? If the body is this resilient, why do some injuries or illnesses become chronic? And if fear can shut down the body’s systems, could focus and belief turn them back on?

What if things like brain fog, attention deficits, emotional distress, chronic pain, and even injuries aren’t just physical or mental, but disruptions in the energy and tuning systems that connect them?

If the body and brain work like a smart energetic system, and its energy flow is influenced by the stories we tell ourselves, then to truly assist in healing, mustn’t we understand the science of the invisible alongside the science of the physical?

I’ve spent over 20 years studying the brain, behavior, and energy. I’ve worked with people to understand the invisible injuries and emotional struggles that often hold them back, andthis is how I believe it works. I’m not asking you to believe. I’m asking you to consider a missing piece.

This is a theory that seeks to uncover what might be happening beneath the surface; how energy moves through the body, how the mind might influence healing, and how reframing these ideas could transform our approach to health and wellness.

This is the question I’d like you to consider. . .

Could focus, visualization, and conscious interaction of the mind and body generate the energy to repair itself?

Let’s dive in.

1. Attention is Energy

A common metaphor for "attention" is a spotlight, where your focus is like a beam of light illuminating a specific area while everything else around it remains dimmer, signifying that you are actively directing your cognitive energy towards a particular piece of information or stimulus.

Attention is a currency. That’s why we say we’re ‘paying attention.’ The energy of your focus is like fuel, directing the flow of energy in the body and the mind.

When we focus on healing, growth, or even simple gratitude, we direct energy toward those things. When we focus on fear, failure, or pain, we feed those instead.

Quantum mechanics shows us that observation influences outcomes, but it isn’t just science, it’s how your energy system works every day.

When you shift your focus, you shift your energy…

And when you shift your energy, you shift what your body and mind are capable of.

2. What If Diagnosis Shapes the Mind?

Doctors are not mechanics.

We treat our bodies like cars, expecting doctors to act as mechanics who can “fix” us. But the body isn’t a car. It’s infinitely more complex—a dynamic, self-repairing system that doesn’t just react to problems but works actively to solve them.

Western doctors are extraordinarily adept at dealing with matter—bones, tissues, and organs.

Eastern medicine, on the other hand, often focuses on energy—resonance, balance, and flow.

Like yin and yang, both perspectives are vital. One treats the visible; the other considers the invisible. What if true healing requires a balance of both?

Labels and diagnoses, while important, can also become barriers to recovery. Words like ‘cancer’ or ‘chronic’ don’t just describe conditions; they shape the mind’s perception of the body. What does this do to belief? To hope?

As Albert Einstein once said: “Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.”

Perhaps, the body’s greatest strength may not lie solely in its physical parts, but also in the invisible systems of energy, frequency, and vibration that hold everything together.

3. The Body is Not You

We live in our bodies, but here’s something to consider: you are not your body.

Your body is a vehicle; a brilliant, self-repairing machine designed to carry you through life.

It’s like a smartphone, constantly updating its operating system and adapting to new environments. But just as your phone isn’t you, your body isn’t you either. It’s a tool.

Think about this: if I cut off your arm, you wouldn’t lose part of your mind or soul. You’d still be you. The body is not the essence of who you are; it’s a physical instrument you use to experience the world.

And like a phone, your body runs on energy. Every thought, movement, and heartbeat require charge. That charge is what powers the system, much like the electricity flowing through a phone or computer.

4. Emotions Are Energy in Motion

We often think of emotions as things that happen to us, but what if they’re just energy in motion?

When you get angry, your body tightens, your muscles contract, and your face gets red and hot. This is the piezoelectric effect in action—muscle tension creates electrical charges that ripple through your body.

The energy isn’t “bad”; it’s a surge, designed to help you act.

The same energy dynamics drive healing. Every cell in your body lives and dies on a timeline.

When an injury kills cells outside that timeline, your body must increase its voltage to repair the damage. That’s why you feel fatigued or foggy when you’re healing. The body is redirecting energy to fix itself.

5. The Body is a Living Symphony

That piezoelectric effect within your muscular system work like a guitar. The muscles are the strings, and the bones, tendons, and tissues form its structure.

The tension in the strings determines the sound they produce. Too much tension, and the strings snap. Too little, and the music loses its tone.

Your muscles work the same way. When they’re balanced and aligned, they generate energy and power your body’s movements with ease. But when they’re tight or overworked—due to stress or injury—they block energy flow and create pain or dysfunction.

6. The Body and Brain Share Energy

You can also think of your body is like a house. Every room shares the same electricity. The brain, like the kitchen, uses the most energy because it’s where most of the “cooking”—thinking, decision-making, and planning happens.

But in times of danger or stress, the body redistributes its energy.

The polyvagal theory explains this: during fight-or-flight mode, the body diverts energy from the brain to the muscles, so you can run or fight. That’s why it’s hard to think clearly when you’re overwhelmed or in pain. Your body prioritizes survival over logic.

Consider this: you can’t drown yourself by holding your breath. Your body will kick in, override your decision, and force you to breathe. It’s an intelligent, self-regulating system that knows what’s necessary to keep you alive.

What if anxiety is your body’s way of preparing for danger you’ve already imagined?

If you think about a situation ahead of time and mark it as dangerous, your body remembers. When you arrive at that moment, your heart races, your hands sweat, and adrenaline floods your system—not because something is wrong, but because you told your body to pay attention.

Could depression, then, be a state of depletion? A lack of energy to act because the body has exhausted its resources trying to protect you?

7. The Universe is Made of Waves

Einstein and Tesla both suggested the same thing: the universe might not be particle-based, but wave-based.

Could what we call “particles” simply be points where waves intersect—nodes of energy meeting in motion?

If this is true, then your body operates on these same principles. It’s not just a collection of parts, but a dynamic wave system, constantly interacting with its environment. Harmony and resonance may be what keeps it running smoothly.

Final Thoughts: Imagination, Belief, and Faith can move Mountains

We’ve spent too many years trying to choose one side or the other; Western medicine or Eastern, physical matter or energy, Republican or Democrat. We are so convinced of this duality,yet I can find none in this universe.

Sure, there is hot and cold, up and down, and light and dark but when you really look at any opposite pair, you just find that it’s only one thing on a dimmer switch. There is heat and lack of heat. Light and lack of light. Left and right cannot exist without the middle. Yin and yang are showing two different perspectives inside the same circle. There is a line that joins them.

Maybe the power of humans is in labeling these things but maybe this is also an area we need to improve. Definitions are words and words are vibrations.

Maybe there’s a reason the Bible begins with God speaking the world into existence? Maybe the words we speak have more power than we ever knew?

Maybe speaking to what you do not like or do not want gets you more of the same?

Perhaps the body doesn’t break down or stop working because it’s broken. Maybe it stops working because we’ve decided it can’t.

Could the mind shut off energy flow like a circuit breaker?

The question isn’t whether you can heal or grow. The question is:

Can you imagine a life beyond what you think is possible?

We have great imaginations. We imagine what people think and imagine what people feel all day long. We imagine getting hurt and imagine fighting and imagine people leaving us long before they do.

There is nothing that is created that’s not created in the mind first.

You must imagine a chair before you can build it. You must imagine that you can read before you can make those dots and lines make sense. We have been so focused on science that we completely overlooked the most mysterious and wonderful force of all.

What I am suggesting is that maybe imagination isn’t for children. Maybe it isn’t fantastic stories. Maybe conscious thought, thoughtful visualization, and sustained, selective attention generates energy inside the body, and we just don’t know because we don’t see it outside.

So maybe the mind, when it works with the body, has infinitely more power than you realize? Maybe the body has infinitely more control than you understand?

That’s the beauty of the system. It’s smarter than us. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t seen anybody who can build a human.

I cannot convince people to believe, but I can convince them to consider that maybe the invisible matters more.

We don’t need to see it to know it exists. I don’t know how, but studying science has led me 100% to faith.

Because when you believe, the waves align.

When you trust, the harmony returns.

And when you imagine better, you may create a life beyond anything you’ve ever known…
