Want to find out more about this spiritual method? Donna Eden, author and energy medicine pioneer, explains all…

Energy medicine is based on the understanding that any physical or mental problem has a counterpart in the body’s energies and can be treated at that level. Bringing better balance and flow to the energies that are maintaining the problem brings greater health to body, mind, and spirit. Despite its roots in ancient healing and spiritual traditions such as yoga, acupuncture, and qi gong, energy medicine is a thoroughly modern approach. It draws on contemporary scientific understanding with simple and non-invasive techniques.

So how does it work?

Flow, balance, and harmony can be restored and maintained within an energy system in numerous ways such as…
Tapping, massaging, pinching, twisting or connecting specific energy points on the skin.
Tracing or swirling the hand over the skin along specific energy pathways.
Through exercises or postures designed for specific energetic effects.
By focused use of the mind to move specific energies.
By surrounding an area with healing energies.
When the body is not healthy, corresponding disturbances in its energies can be identified and treated plus when energies become blocked by toxins, prolonged stress or other energies, they can be treated so the body can be brought back into balance.

Does energy medicine compete with Western medicine?

Energy medicine and conventional medicine work in harmony. Conventional Western medicine, at its foundation, focuses on the biochemistry of cells, tissue, and organs where as energy medicine concentrates on the energy fields of the body that organise and control the growth and repair of cells, tissue, and organs. Changing impaired energy patterns may be the most efficient, least invasive way to improve the vitality of organs, cells, and psyche. Together, the two practices work hand in hand to promote optimal health. Energy medicine has no adverse side effects and can be used as a method to balance the body’s energies before an invasive medical procedure to prepare the body for a healing outcome. It can also help balance the body’s energies after surgery.
