Many of you have heard of acupuncture. This system is based upon accessing acupressure points along defined energetic pathways in our bodies known as meridians. By placing a needle into one or more of these points, the energy that may be trapped, clogged or stale will begin to move, thus resulting in healing. Energy Medicine techniques are not invasive however and do not involve inserting needles into the body; however the same points as used in acupuncture are accessed by tapping, circling or holding to assist the body’s energy to begin to move again. The meridian system is only one of 9 systems recognized by Eden Energy Medicine, all systems of which are inter-connected.
Energy Medicine corrects energetic imbalances. It does not treat or diagnose illness or disease. It is important to remember this distinction. Energy Medicine does not diagnose or treat illness or disease. Instead, it corrects energetic imbalances that are at the foundation of health and vibrancy. But physical symptoms often provide clues about the types of energy imbalances that the body needs to have addressed.
Donna Eden sees energy. Yes, as hard as it is to believe, Donna can and does see energy. As a matrimonial lawyer for over 30 years, when I first heard of this concept, I was extremely skeptical, but as I have worked with my own and many other’s energies over the years, I have no doubt that Donna in fact sees energy, which has enabled her to develop this world wide recognized system known as Eden Energy Medicine. Donna’s system is based on accessing and assessing the 9 subtle energy systems in and around each of us by testing designated points on a person’s body. The feedback received by accessing these points with energy testing (more commonly referred to in other modalities as kinesiology) provides immediate information on the health of the associated energy system. Upon determining the energetic imbalances, specific techniques are employed to correct the blockage to restore energetic movement. This systems approach is now taught internationally and the book Energy Medicine by Donna Eden has been translated in over 17 languages.
Energy Medicine has been described:
• As a new field with ancient roots, building not only on what is known in Western Science and medicine but also drawing heavily form Eastern health practices and disciplines such as acupuncture, yoga and qigong.• As both a complement to other approaches to medical care and a complete system for self-care and self-help.
• As a means to address physical illness and emotional or mental disorders and a means to promote high level wellness and peak performance. By learning simple energy techniques, you can improve health, sharpen your mind and increase your joy and vitality.
• As a preventative. By recognizing energy disruptions before symptoms appear, the energy imbalance can be corrected rather than allowed to progress until it erupts into cancer, heart failure, nervous disorders or some other disease or illness.
• As a means to work with and understand your body’s reservoir of electromagnetic and subtle energies to:
- Increase vitality
- Identify and correct energy imbalances that prevent optimum performance
- Enhance your health and state of mind
- Increase the flow of energy to promote general health
- Relieve pain by unclogging trapped energy
- Enhance Inner peace
- Awaken YOUR own doctor within
- Boost your energy level
- Strengthen your immune system
- Alleviate stress and pain
Energy Medicine is both an independent approach to self-care and complement to medical care. A key concept in Energy Medicine is that the words “diagnosis” and “treatment” have a different meaning than they do in conventional medicine. In conventional medicine you diagnose and treat an illness. In Energy Medicine, you assess where the energy system needs attention and correct the energy disturbances. Physical symptoms may be a clue, but they are not the focus. For instance, the same stomach ache might trace to an imbalance in Heart meridian in one person, in Liver meridian in another, and in Stomach meridian in a third. The same physical symptoms can reflect many kinds of problems in your energy system and call for different kinds of attention.
Two Ways Energy Medicine can help a person’s health condition:
1. The first way Energy Medicine approaches a health condition is by strengthening the person’s overall energy system and then by working with specific energies that are involved in the problem.This first level has to do with getting your body’s energies into a good flow, harmony, and balance. While not focusing on your health issue directly, this can create within your body an energetic environment that supports your overall health, vitality, and healing. This is the place to start.
Unlike treatments that offer pills or surgery, Energy Medicine focuses on the entire body as a system.
Before doing more specific treatments, Energy Medicine practitioners routinely help people get their body’s overall energies into a strong and healthy flow. Over the years, Donna Eden designed a five minute “Daily Energy Routine” that combines the most potent techniques we know that are able to help the greatest number of people to stimulate each of the vital energy systems and bring them into harmony and balance.
In the Daily Energy Routine are some of the methods an Energy Medicine practitioner might give to you after an initial consultation to help you strengthen and balance your own energies. You can do much for yourself through the Daily Energy Routine alone. The Daily Energy Routine takes about five minutes; dedicating five additional minutes for experimenting with other methods can make a real difference in your health and vitality.
The Daily Energy Routine is referenced in every introductory publication that Eden Energy Medicine has created. You can find it in the book Energy Medicine (Chapter 3), on Donna Eden’s “Introduction” and “Essential Techniques” DVD sets, as well as in the Sounds True “Energy Medicine Kit.” You can find these resources at: WWW.THEINNERSOURCESTORE.COM. And Click Here to find more information on our Resources page.
Five areas you might experiment with as adjuncts to the Daily Energy Routine are:
1. The “Homolateral Crossover,”
2. “Connecting Heaven and Earth,”
3. Techniques for sedating the Triple Warmer meridian,
4. The “Neurovascular Hold,” and
5. The “Blow Out.”
All are presented in each of the above resources.
