❝ Alternative Medicines deal with the body’s energy-something that traditional Western medicine generally does not. We’re beginning now to understand things that we know in our hearts are true but we could never measure. As we get better at understanding how little we know about the body. We begin to realize that the next big frontier in medicine is Energy Medicine. It’s understanding for the first time how energy influences how we feel. ❞

What is Energy Medicine?
Energy Medicine is one of five domains of “complementary and alternative medicine” identified by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) in the United States. The foundation of energy medicine to health care is that everything that exists, that we see, sense or feel, is energy. Our physical bodies are comprised of various energy fields and energy systems.
Energy Medicine, a form of Biofield therapy, affects energy fields that surround and penetrate the human body to promote health. Examples of Biofield therapies include Eden Energy Medicine, Qi Gong, Reiki, and Therapeutic Touch.
More than 2,000 years ago, Asian practitioners discovered that the human body has a subtle bio-energy system made up of energy conduits called meridians. These meridians are interconnected in ways that allow the flow of energy, called Qi or Chi (pronounced chee), to move throughout the body from one meridian to another.
When our energies are flowing as designed, we feel healthy and emotionally vibrant. However, when we have an illness or disease, an energetic block has developed somewhere in the physical body. Thus, the body is not functioning properly, creating an energy imbalance.
The energy now needs to be moved or released to restore balance and harmony. Acupuncture, acupressure, Chinese herbal medicine, energy medicine, moxibustion, and cupping, for example, are all geared toward correcting imbalances and restoring the flow of qi (energy) through meridians to reinstate health. Energy medicine can eliminate energy blocks and balance deficiencies and excesses to get the body’s energy flowing to support optimal health.
Eden Energy Medicine as described by Donna Eden and David Feinstein:
❝ Eden Energy Medicine is both a complement to other approaches to medical care and a complete system for self-care and self-help. It can address physical illness and emotional or mental disorders, and can also promote high-level wellness and peak performance. You heal the body by activating its natural healing energies; you also heal the body by restoring energies that have become weak, disturbed, or out of balance.❞
Energy medicine is an approach to healing that treats the subtle energy patterns of the body in order to ease the unpleasant and painful symptoms of illness. It is a gentle, non-invasive, and does not interfere with conventional treatments in any way. Many clients have reported that energy medicine has brought relief from specific symptoms and has improved appetite, mood, sleep patterns, and vitality, thus enhancing their quality of life.
To accomplish this goal, Eden Energy Medicine utilizes techniques from healing traditions such as acupuncture, yoga, kinesiology, and qi gong.
Flow, balance, and harmony can be non-invasively restored and maintained within an energy system by:
- tapping, massaging, pinching, twisting, or connecting specific energy points (acupoints) on the skin
- by 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
- and/or by surrounding an area with healing energies (one person’s energies impacts another’s)
Energy medicine may be used for any illness to return the body to its natural state of health and wellbeing.
- relieve pain
- stop the onset of illness as soon as it begins
- stimulate immune function
- relieve arthritis, neck, shoulder, and low back pain
- relieve headaches
- release stress
- improve memory
- enhance digestion
- balance hormones
- cope with electromagnetic pollution
An Exercise to Practice:
This is a daily exercise for you to practice to open your energy pathways and allow more Qi, or Life Force energy, to flow through your body. Use it in the morning to help you get going and make a great start to your day!
Each day, tap or thump lightly on these 3 areas (shown in the pic):
- The 2 soft spots, or indentations, under your collarbone on your upper chest
- The spot in the middle of your breast bone
- The 2 spots on your rib cage, under each breast
Intuitively, your hands know where these points are exactly on your body, so use the image provided as reference.
As you thump on each point, breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth for about 20 seconds each time. Do it until you begin to feel more energized.
This will help to stimulate all your body’s energies, boost your immune system, and increase your strength and vitality so you can make the most of your day.
