Energy Medicine is both a
complement to other systems of medical care and, in itself, a complete system for
self-care and self-help. It can address physical illness and emotional disorders, and it
can also promote wellness and peak performance. |

Energy Medicine is both an independent approach to
self-care
and a complement to medical care. |

Because we receive so many requests
from people who are new to Energy Medicine for help with health conditions, we have
written this brief guide to help orient you and to direct you to a wealth of available
resources, many of them free.
A key concept in Energy Medicine is that the words
"diagnosis" and "treatment" have a different meaning than they do in
conventional medicine. In conventional medicine you diagnose and treat an
illness. In Energy Medicine, you assess where the energy system needs attention and
correct the energy disturbances. Physical symptoms may be a clue, but they are not
the focus. For instance, the same stomachache might trace to an imbalance in Heart
meridian in one person, in Liver meridian in another, and in Stomach meridian in a third.
The same physical symptoms can reflect many kinds of problems in your energy system and
call for different kinds of attention. |
|
| TWO WAYS ENERGY
MEDICINE CAN HELP |
|
| There are TWO LEVELS where Energy Medicine might make
a difference with a health condition: |
|
| Energy Medicine first
approaches a health condition by strengthening the person’s overall energy system and
then by working with specific energies that are involved in the problem. |
|
|
|
1. THE FIRST LEVEL has to do
with getting your body's energies into a good flow, harmony, and balance. While not
focusing on your health issue directly, this can create within your body an energetic
environment that supports your overall health, vitality, and healing.
- This is the place to start, even if you are also taking additional steps, such as
assessing and working with specific vulnerabilities in your energy system or consulting
with an Energy Medicine specialist. Unlike treatments that offer pills or surgery, Energy
Medicine focuses on the entire body as a system. Before doing more specific treatments,
Energy Medicine practitioners routinely help people get their body's overall
energies into a strong and healthy flow.
- Over the years, Donna Eden designed a five-minute "Daily Energy Routine" that
combines the most potent techniques we know that are able to help the greatest number of
people to stimulate each of the vital energy systems and bring them into harmony and
balance.
- In the Daily Energy Routine are some of the methods an Energy Medicine practitioner
might give to you after an initial consultation to help you strengthen and balance your
own energies. You can do much for yourself through the Daily Energy Routine alone. The
Daily Energy Routine takes about five minutes, and then also dedicating five additional
minutes for experimenting with other methods can make a real difference in your health and
vitality.
- We guide you through the Daily Energy Routine in every introductory publication we have.
You can find it in the book Energy Medicine (Chapter 3), on our
"Introduction" and "Essential Techniques" DVD sets, as well as in the
Sounds True "Energy Medicine Kit." You can find these resources at www.TheInnersourceStore.com.
- Five areas you might experiment with as adjuncts to the Daily Energy Routine are 1) the
"Homolateral Crossover," 2) "Connecting Heaven and Earth," 3)
techniques for sedating the Triple Warmer meridian, 4) the "Neurovascular Hold,"
and 5) the "Blow Out." All are presented in each of the above resources.

In Energy Medicine, you assess where the energy
system needs attention
and correct the energy disturbances. |
|
|
|
2. THE SECOND LEVEL by which
Energy Medicine might make a difference with a health concern involves an assessment of
your body's energies and the ways they are related to the condition.
- Based on that assessment, individualized treatments can be designed to make your energy
system more robust, specifically in the ways that will help with the health condition.
- If you are a beginner with Energy Medicine, this is more than we recommend you attempt
without the help of a qualified practitioner (see below for suggestions on how to find
one).
- The various resources mentioned below will give you an idea of where to begin. The book Energy
Medicine gives further instruction in how to assess your energies and correct problems
with them.
- Meanwhile, everything you might do in terms of the Basic Daily Energy Routine would only
support work with a professional Energy Medicine practitioner or other health care
provider.

"Essential Techniques" video program takes most of the exercises from Energy
Medicine and shows Donna personally instructing you in how to use them. It is like

|
| Join
or Start a Local Study Group A
great way to learn Energy Medicine is to find study buddies with whom you can practice.
This may be one other person or a small group, and it may be as simple as discussing this
book or practicing techniques together after watching them on a DVD. Many communities have
local Energy Medicine study groups. You can find other individuals interested in Energy
Medicine as well as existing study groups, at www.EnergyMedicineDirectory.com
under "Resources." |
|
| Finding
Classes and Trainings Almost every
community is now offering classes in various aspects of Energy Medicine. In larger cities,
widely distributed free monthly local magazines announce dozens of events every month.
Courses with Donna and David can be found on the "Classes" area of
www.LearnEnergyMedicine.com.

| Eden
Energy Medicine Certification Program Taught by gifted practitioners who have been studying with Donna for many
years, and still overseen by Donna, this two-year program has earned rave reviews from
hundreds of graduates. Energy Medicine is a career for the future, and this program is a
route into it. Learn more on the "Certification Program" area of
www.LearnEnergyMedicine.com

|
| The
Energy Medicine Handout Bank The Handout Bank is a free resource designed to 1) help make
Energy Medicine more widely accessible, 2) aid those who are teaching classes or providing
services in Energy Medicine, and 3) create a high quality archive of principles and
methods. It is designed for the Energy Medicine practitioner, but others interested in the
field may also find it a valuable resource. The Handout Bank can be found in the Energy
Medicine area of our website under "Resources." |
|
| Finding
an Energy Medicine Practitioner Every
local community is enjoying a rapid increase in the number of health practitioners who
incorporate an Energy Medicine perspective. Practitioners may be found in all of the
healing professions, from physicians and chiropractors to nurses and personal trainers to
massage therapists and life coaches. Practitioners of acupuncture, qi gong, Reiki,
Ayurveda, applied kinesiology, homeopathy, Touch for Health, Healing Touch, and
Therapeutic Touch, among many others, are all working directly with the body’s subtle
energies. An excellent guide to finding a qualified energy practitioner in your own local
community, as well as a listing of practitioners trained specifically in Donna Eden’s
approach to Energy Medicine, can be found in the "Practitioners"
area of www.LearnEnergyMedicine.com.

| Getting
an Energy Medicine Perspective on Health-Based Questions Again, Energy Medicine does not diagnose or treat
illness or disease. Instead it corrects energetic imbalances that are at the foundation of
health and vibrancy. But physical symptoms often provide clues about the types of energy
imbalances the body needs to have addressed. Donna has received thousands of inquiries
about how to apply Energy Medicine with various health-related concerns. While the numbers
now make it impossible to answer each, for many years she did just that, so we have
hundreds of responses to such questions. These are well-indexed in the "Health
Q & A’s" section of www.LearnEnergyMedicine.com under the "Resources"
heading. |

| Learn
About Energy Psychology Applying
the principles of Energy Medicine to emotional problems and to promote peak vitality is
proving to be one of the most exciting developments in the field of psychology. Learn more
