The Essentials of Energy Medicine – Donna Eden & David Feinstein

Energy Medicine focuses on the energy fields and pathways that organize and support the body’s growth and repair of cells, tissue, and organs. Enabling the full and balanced flow of energy through these fields and pathways can unleash physical vitality, mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual growth.

Donna and David will describe the roots of their work, the scope of the program, and the benefits of applying Energy Medicine in your life.

You’ll discover:

• Techniques for sensing and detecting the flow of energy through specific energy pathways in an individual’s body
• How energy flow, blocks, and patterns correlate with health and vitality
• Hands-on techniques to identify and clear energy blocks, and to release and re-pattern energies for fuller flow and balance
• The ways your energies affect other people, and quick exercises that can improve your ability to communicate and connect better with others
• Simple exercises to immediately boost your vitality and increase healing, wellbeing, and joy

Daily challenges, prolonged stress, environmental toxins, or something as simple a carrying a shoulder bag can weaken or disturb your body’s energy fields. A daily energy routine can keep your energies strong and flowing in the right direction, promoting your health and resilience over time.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• Daily techniques for grounding, clearing, and balancing your energies
• Energy exercises set to music, so you can dance your way to health
• Donna’s powerful distillation of eight exercises in her Daily Energy Routine from working with thousands of clients
• Exercises to center yourself, clear energy blocks, and regain balance when life presents challenges
• A quick, amazingly effective healing massage to clear, ground, and rebalance energies. This can be a priceless gift you can give to yourself or to a partner!
• Techniques for customizing and reinforcing your Daily Energy Routine practice

The meridian system was mapped by Chinese healers over 5,000 years ago. Today this system of 14 energy pathways is a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, and Energy Medicine.

In this session, Donna and David will explain how meridians work, how they relate to each other, how they fuel all of your energetic and physical systems, and how they influence your health, thoughts, and moods.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• How meridians naturally recharge throughout the day, and how they can lose energy
• A method for testing a meridian to determine its strength, and how to trace meridians to renew their flow
• Two very important meridians, Spleen and Triple Warmer, and how they affect each other and influence how we respond to and recover from stress
• Quick exercises to relax and calm Triple Warmer, to strengthen Spleen, and to help the two work better together

Due to ancient energetic patterns hardwired within us, we are prone to overreact to daily stressors as though we were confronting life-or-death challenges from ages past. Chronic stress has been called the #1 health challenge of our time, and is cited as a key factor in a host of degenerative and life-threatening diseases.

Energy Medicine offers a range of highly effective ways to prevent, moderate, or recover from an overactive stress response.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• How Triple Warmer triggers your body’s fight, flight, or freeze response and how this response can seriously compromise your health
• Neurovascular Reflex points that instantly interrupt the fight-or-flight response, soothe Triple Warmer, coax blood and energy flow to return to the forebrain, and enable you to think more clearly
• Exercises such as the “K-27 Thump” and “Blow Out” to calm, counteract, or retrain an overactive stress response
• “Black Pearl Sanctuary,” an Energy Medicine treatment that assists relaxation, supports release of toxic chemicals that accompany the fight-or-flight response, and promotes a profound sense of peace

Seven major chakras lie along the central axis of the body from the top of the head to the base of the spine. The chakras feed and communicate with the meridians, aura, and surrounding energy systems. The chakras also supply energy to the body’s organs, muscles, and tissues, and play a major role in the functioning of the endocrine system and in emotional, psychological, and spiritual balance.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• How chakras work at the physical, psychological, spiritual, chemical, and energetic levels
• The dominant themes of each chakra, and how they help you digest experience, store memories, and evolve
• Methods for testing chakras for strength or blocks
• A technique for clearing and balancing chakras so that they can assist further growth and development

Close relationships can bring out your best and support both your personal growth and your contributions to life. Close relationships can also challenge you and trigger a stress response.

In this module, you’ll examine the energetic traits of four Sensory Types (Visual, Tonal, Kinesthetic, and Digital).

As you discover your own type and learn to detect and understand the traits of people who are different from you, you’ll be better able to make the most of your interactions and close relationships.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• The energetic style, strengths, and vulnerabilities of the Visual, Tonal, Digital, and Kinesthetic Sensory Types
• Energy tests to identify each type (and to detect your own primary type)
• Potential challenges and productive approaches to communicating with your partner and relating with each of the different Sensory Types
• Energy exercises to stop an argument, re-center yourself, shift energies and perspective, realign with your partner, and communicate for deeper understanding

Meridian energy tests enable you to determine where energy is flowing in a healthy way through your body, and where it might be congested or blocked. Whether you can see energy or not, energy tests reveal energetic patterns that underlie and affect an individual’s physical health and emotional balance. You can also use testing to assess which foods, vitamins — and even shoes! — are healthy choices for you and others.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• How to prepare for and conduct energy tests to assess another person’s energetic response to various conditions
• Why and how to use Spleen Meridian as you test what foods or supplements are healthy choices for an individual
• Self-testing methods that you can use to detect your own energetic response to food, vitamins, or clothing
• The pros and cons of using magnets to test or influence energies for healing

Pain can be the body’s way of forcing you to stop what you’re doing and pay attention. When you respect its message and rebalance your energies at their roots, pain can become an active ally in healing.

Energy Medicine tools for relieving pain are noninvasive, and can complement or reduce the need for medical care. These tools, which rely on the body’s own deep healing wisdom, influence energy systems to support the natural healing process.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• How energy blocks or congestion can cause pain and how releasing excess energy can decrease it
• Energy Medicine “First Aid” methods to reduce pain and clear away any energy vortexes that have formed over painful areas
• When and how to stretch, pinch, or tap painful muscles to release constriction and ease pain
• Neurovascular points or acupoints to hold for pain relief
• An isometric head and neck exercise for headache relief

In Energy Medicine, the following principles guide First Aid approaches to general pain as well as more complex strategies for addressing specific health issues:

• Energy needs space to move
• Healthy energies move in patterns that harmonize with the physical systems and functions they support
• For full vitality, energies must cross over and balance with other energies

Effectively addressing a specific health condition invites you to investigate and use underlying energy patterns to guide your approach.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• A process to eliminate headaches, encourage intuition, and enhance psychic ability by opening energy pathways and clearing chakras — and how this process can increase physical flexibility by clearing Neurolymphatic Reflex Points
• How to reset the body’s valves to prevent appendicitis and strengthen the heart
• A rebalancing technique for meridians to help an individual adapt to the night shift or deal with insomnia
• How to strengthen your vision and maintain the health of your eyes
• A remarkable way to keep energies “crossing over” and assist people with long-term Attention Deficit Disorder

Energy Medicine is comprised of practical insights and exercises that can help you overcome resistance to change and create energetic habits that support growth, health, and happiness. The Daily Energy Routine and tracing meridians practice, for example, reinforce energetic patterns that create a strong foundation for health and resilience.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• Practices for reducing resistance to positive change by checking and correcting for lack of grounding, reversed polarities, and homolateral energies
• Neurovascular Holds to release unwanted memories or beliefs and Temporal Tapping to install ones that support your growth
• How to unleash the energies of joy to support habit change with The Nine Hearts Exercise
• The practices of Figure 8s and Tibetan Energy Rings, which can weave desired changes into your energy field
• The Brazilian Toe Technique, a relaxing and rewarding partner exercise that enables new patterns to sink in deep

Your aura is an amazing energy system that both shields you and helps you communicate with the broader energies that surround you. Some sensitive people can see or feel the aura and recognize energetic imbalances before they can manifest physically as disease.

Now that science is also able to detect the aura, studies of what is often called “the biofield” are validating energy’s critical role in health and communication. This session will focus on the structure and function of the aura and give you techniques to strengthen and expand it.

You’ll discover:

• Your aura’s role in protecting and connecting you with nurturing energies in the environment
• A testing method to detect an over-expansive, detached, or collapsed aura — and how to correct these conditions with the Celtic Weave
• The Central Meridian’s interaction with your aura to protect your energetic balance and how you can strengthen this shield
• A chakra meditation to evoke visual elements of your aura

This final session includes a review of what you’ve learned, a full demonstration of Energy Medicine practices, and a celebration of your achievements. Donna and David will invite you to consider how you might continue using and building on your Energy Medicine skills to renew health, joy, and vitality in yourself and others.

You’ll discover:

• How to keep up the practice you’ve started, and how to continue to build habits that lead to greater health and happiness
• Additional resources for learning and where you can go from here if you want to practice Energy Medicine with others
• Energy Medicine tools a skilled practitioner uses to assess and address tough health concerns with customized solutions that activate the body’s healing energies
