Every living thing on this planet has some form of energy moving through it.   In human beings, when energy is flowing harmoniously within the body, mind and spirit you feel aligned with yourself and life around you, and are more able to thrive in the midst of daily life.  

 

But what about when things begin to misalign, for whatever reason?  The body can shift from thriving to reveal symptoms of stress, weakness, and fatigue that may start to create disease. 

 

Balancing your energy can give you resilience when dealing with  stress, vitality when you are drained, as well as, stability and relief when you are feeling axious or depressed.

 

Energy medicine is an approach to health that involves balancing and restoring your body’s natural energies for the purpose of increasing your vitality, strengthening your mental capacity, and optimizing your overall health.  

​

The Origin:

The techniques you would be experiencing and learning during a session trace back to ancient healing and spiritual traditions.  The variations I use are modern and do not require adherence to any particular set of beliefs or practices.  The core concept is that your personal well-being and effectiveness are directly related to the state of your body’s energies.

​

Your Body’s Energies:

Everything is energy.  Our bodies are comprised of molecules that are in constant motion and that are continually being influenced by outside forces.  The medical profession measures electromagnetic fields with devices such as EKGs, EEGs, and MRIs.  The vital role these energies play in our everyday health and well-being is well established.  Scientists from a range of disciplines are now introducing concepts such as “force fields” and “subtle energies” to explain a range of empirical observations.  Subtle energies are called ‘subtle’ because they are not easily detectable, and scientists have not been able to develop instruments to measure them reliably.  Nonetheless, people throughout history and across cultures have described seeing or feeling subtle energies.

​

Enhancing Your Body’s Energies:

You may have heard about subtle energy through terms such as “life force,” “chi,” “meridians,” “chakras,” “biofields,” or “auras.”  In many healing traditions, the “life force” (the animating power whose presence defines life and whose absence defines death) is understood as a form of subtle energy.  Eastern cultures, in particular, have studied such energies for millennia and have successfully applied their understanding for enhancing both physical and emotional health.  Systems designed to influence the body’s subtle energies include yoga, tai chi, Reiki, acupuncture, acupressure, therapeutic touch, emotional freedom technique and energy medicine just to name a few.  Many hospitals in the United States now include such methods to help with the healing of a variety of conditions.

​

Energy Medicine Techniques:

The techniques I will be using and teaching are based on the premise that by promoting balance and flow in the body’s electromagnetic and subtle energies, health and well-being are enhanced.  The techniques may involve the use of certain postures of movement or touching, holding, pressing on, tracing, tapping or circling over specified areas of the skin.  They move, balance, enhance, and restore the body’s energies

The form of energy medicine I use draws from Donna Eden and her book Energy Medicine, as well as, David Feinstein, PhD, and his book, Tapping:  Self Healing with the Transformative Power of Energy Psychology
