Special Issue:
Introducing Your Energy Medicine Practice to Your Community |

The program needs to be
short (about an hour)
sweet (full of useful, basic information presented at a 9th grade
level)
full of pizzazz (entertaining, energizing, leaving people with a
bigger smile and more energy than when they came in)
It needs to suit your skills, level of ability, and interests
It needs to sell your services (e.g. classes, workshops, videos,
treatment, ...)
It needs to be based on an expert (which can be Donna and Energy
Medicine and videos if it isn't you)
It needs to leave people with questions so they will contact you
What to have with you depends on your background (see (2) above) and
how you decide to run your program (e.g. brochures, cards, handouts; massage table; common
household poisons to demonstrate energy checking; foods; supplements; Energy Medicine
Book; Videos, etc.
If you are presenting in someone's shop or office, you need to
showcase their products and services as well

02. Ideas for Places to Offer an Introduction |
|
|
|
|
New Age stores,
"free" universities, after hours school programs, other complementary
practitioners, health clubs, other locations depending on your network and your interests.
It is very important to view the space before you actually use it.
You will get a feeling for what you can do there (e.g. is there room for a massage table,
how many people will fit in the room, etc.)
It is also important to know what kind of audience you will have, as
it may affect your presentation

(see www.actionplan.com
for general ideas)
Advertising, Cheap: Ask the owner of
the location you are using whether they do any advertising, e.g. newsletter, e-mail, etc.
Provide a news release to local and neighborhood papers (call and ask how they want the
information)
Your Core Marketing Message: Think
about who your target audience is, what problems they have, how you can help them solve
those problems, how you have succeeded at solving the problems of others, and what makes
you different from everyone else. In your communications (e.g. brochure, presentation)
share information that potential clients can use rather than trying to sell them on your
services. Explain the benefits of your solutions, "what's in it for them". Talk
about what will be different for them once they have received your services.
Have a sign-in sheet so you can follow
up with interested people.

Introduce yourself (what you do, your background)
Introduce Energy Medicine - Donna Eden and your training with her;
the book (translated into many languages) and videos
What is energy medicine and what is it good for? (alternatively, see
David's Introduction below)
By improving and balancing the subtle energy flow in the body, this
work has been used to improve health through increased immunity, decreased stress,
increased strength and vitality, feeling more balanced, thinking more clearly, improving
your coordination, and harmonizing your energies and your emotions
Takes the best of ancient and modern energetic techniques including
those from China, India, Ireland, and others
For detection of energy imbalances I use techniques such as energy
checking, points described thousands of years ago called alarm points, pulses, body
scanning and others
I address health issues through a variety of practices, including
techniques that look like massage, acupressure, meridian tracing, and stimulation of
reflexes which assist vascular and lymphatic improvement, and through teaching each client
practices which they can do themselves as "homework".
Today, I'm going to briefly demonstrate some of
these methods

- demonstrate energy checking and use with environmental toxins (Drano, fabric softener,
oven cleaner, bleach)
- spinal flush (use in the context of techniques which help you flush toxins and live in
your environment)
- "oh my god" neurovascular reflex points to deal with some remembered trauma
- small intestine lymphatics and belt flow for flexibility
- surrogate testing
- homolateral test (crossed and parallel lines)
- polarity test (walking backward and forward)
- chakra testing and use of clearing techniques
- fairy flows
- other tests that you feel comfortable with
- anything that is interesting and relevant to your work!

In sum, I've discussed a
bit of the background of energy medicine and how I apply its tools to detect and address a
variety of health issues. What you have seen today is only a tiny part of the universe of
energy medicine. My teacher, Donna Eden, has assembled and taught many techniques that we
do not have the time to discuss today. Hopefully you have gotten an inkling of their ease
of application and broad applicability, safety, and benefits. Anyone who is interested in
further information may pick up a brochure, speak to me while I'm in the store, or call me
for further information. I offer courses as well as personal appointments where I use
these techniques. Thank you for joining me today. |

Energy medicine
recognizes energy as a vital, living, moving force that determines much about health and
happiness. In energy medicine, energy is the medicine, and energy is also the
"patient." You heal the body by activating its natural healing energies; you
also heal the body by working with energies that have become weak, disturbed, or out of
balance. 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. The
essential principles of energy medicine include: |
|
 |
Energiesboth electromagnetic energies and more subtle
energiesform the dynamic infrastructure of the physical body.
The health of those energiesin terms of flow, balance, and
harmonyis reflected in the health of the body.
Conversely, when the body is not healthy, the energies that produce
illness can be shifted.
To overcome illness and maintain vibrant health, your body needs its
energies to:
Move and have space to continue to move-energies may become blocked
due to toxins, muscular or other constriction, prolonged stress, or interference from
other energies
Move in specific patternsgenerally in harmony with the physical
structures and functions the energies animate and support. "Flow follows
function."
Cross overat all levels, from the microlevel of the double
helix of DNA, and extending to the macrolevel of the left side of the brain connecting to
the right side of the body and the right side to the left.
Maintain a balance with other energiesthe energies may lose
their natural balance due to prolonged stress or other conditions that keep specific
energy systems in a survival mode
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 on the skin
Tracing or swirling the hand over specific pathways over the skin
Exercises or postures designed for specific energetic effects
Focused use of the mind to move specific energies
Surrounding an area with healing energiesone person's energies
can influence another's.
