Energy Medicine

This is the essential learning, practice and reference book for all those interested in Energy Medicine. Donna Eden has done a great deal to develop the subject and has written the book in easy understandable way. The book is very practical and is built on Donna's own learning and health experience. It will equally suit those who have tried conventional medicine and are looking for a different approach with regard to their condition or healers and therapists looking to learn the subject methods and techniques. It's a good introduction to the concept of Meridians, Chakras and the foundations of Eastern healing methods and ideas. It's a book that you may need to read several times or keep as a constant reference.

This book is incredible. I knew as soon as I started reading it that I had found something amazing. I have been sharing what I’m learning with others and they can see, almost immediately, how calming the routines are on their bodies. Everyone needs to buy this book.

'Energy Medicine' is a quest book, the final outcome of a quest of the authors, a real voyage, and realization of a dream, with all the obstacles that this implies. From her book and writing style, Donna Eden appears to be a very strong character, and she probably needed to have exactly that quality in her wisdom quest as when she started, more than a decade ago, modern medicine was really hostile toward the idea of integrating any of the many perennial healing concepts that it discarded as vitalistic. It also seems that Donna Eden’s collaboration with David Feinstein led to a wholesome mix of energies. The authors have done ground-breaking research on the ubiquitous quality of the energy concept and have laid the theoretical groundwork of the Donna Eden Energy Healing Practice. This is truly a good thing to happen, as there are today many healers who learn from hearsay and practice methods they don’t really understand. Not so for Donna Eden. She has complemented her strong intuitive knowledge, or what she directly perceives through her extraordinary energy sensitivity, by a thorough base of theoretical and cross-cultural knowledge, and this makes the strength of both her healing practice and her books. The authors write on the cultural background of energy medicine: —Numerous cultures describe a matrix of subtle energies that support, shape, and animate the physical body, called qi or chi in China, prana in the yoga tradition of India and Tibet, yesod in the Jewish cabalistic tradition, ki in Japan, baraka by the Sufis, wakan by the Lakotas, orenda by the Iroquois, megbe by the Ituri Pygmies, and the Holy Spirit in Christian tradition. It is hardly a new idea to suggest that subtle energies operate in tandem with the denser, 'congealed' energies of the material body./16 To add to this list that the Japanese call this energy hado, not ki, so far as water is concerned, as Masaru Emoto explains in his books. Most native peoples call the organic, bioplasmatic energy field mana. It is also of interest that in our natural healing tradition the field was known by a whole line of alternative scientists, a lineage which started probably with Paracelsus, who called it vis vitalis, and we see it reappearing with Swedenborg as spirit energy, with Mesmer as animal magnetism and with Reich as orgone. The base principle of what I would like to call the energy worldview, as opposed to the materialistic worldview, is well put in the following short sentence: —Matter follows energy. That is the fundamental law of energy medicine. When your energies are vibrant, so is your body./17 The Western mind, cunning as it is in splitting unity off in dualistic opposites, has always had much difficulty to understand what in India is called atman. Brahman and atman are related, and express the divine principle, in its universal nature (brahman) and in its personal or personified and incarnated nature (atman). Now, then, I often hear the question after I explain what atman means, if atman and soul were identical? I always reply that honestly I do not know. When we pick out concepts from different cultural soils, we cannot just put them in the same box and glue one label on the box identifying both. When you do that you disregard the truth that every concept is filled with meaning and the meaning is contextual, cultural, and not implied in the concept per se. So for knowing the difference between atman and soul you have to get into Hinduism and Christianity, and it’s not guaranteed that you will find the answer. In fact, you don’t need to know the exact difference, for if you look at both notions from an energy point of view, for you will very quickly understand that both notions are dynamic, that both notions are considered as containers of vital energy. Now, let’s look at another fundamental principle of energy medicine: balance. What does balance mean? I have found it expressed in Chinese medicine as harmony. In Chinese medicine, harmony means health. It’s as simple as that. The ancient Chinese physicians discovered that when an organism is healthy, it is naturally harmonious, and there are no extremes. All is in a state of harmonious balance. The same is true the other way around: when an organism is found to be in harmony, the physician could conclude that the organism is in good health. This was ignored over centuries in Western medicine, and energy medicine now brings this perennial notion of harmony or balance into our own medical paradigm. However, the book goes far beyond the theory. The theory is kind of underlying, and the book really is a practical guide for healing, and you can apply it on a daily basis. The knowledge is transmitted in good little chunks, and with clear and comprehensive language. There are many different ways to work on your vital energy, and how to balance it if you have abused of yourself too much, through stress, smoking, fatigue, drug intake or through destructive relationships. For most common ailments the book gives practical advice how to treat not just the symptom, but the underlying energy misbalance, so as to reestablish health by opening the energy flow, as a first step, and by balancing the energies, as a second step. The authors explain that many health problems, at their early stage can be healed simply by opening the energy blockage. How does the energy flow get blocked? In most cases by mishandling our emotions, by repressing certain emotions, or by trying to overadapt to certain situations, disregarding feelings of anger or frustration over long periods of time. This is how the vital energy can become obstructed. Energy medicine is really useful in informing the reader about the possibility to heal disease by simple methods of energy rebalancing, by enhancing the energy flow, also by giving the necessary practical advice so that the reader can administer the methods by himself or herself, without needing to consult an energy practitioner.

What a thrill to receive this book in such excellent shape and very a fair price as they stated. I have praised the Text Book company to everyone I know because fair price and value go a long way; I am very pleased, thank you.

If you are like me, and interested in this field, then I recommend you also get the The Energy Medicine Kit , which has a DVD where she demonstrates various energy routines, and an easy to follow five minute daily routine. This is now part of my daily routine. Everyone should have a daily routine for moving energy. The book and the kit are stand alone products. I highly recommend both to everyone. I got the energy medicine kit first, and I am glad I did because there is nothing quite like seeing the exercises demonstrated, and I know I would not be doing these techniques properly if I did not first see them shown. The mutimedia is format is easier to follow and use. The book also contains the five minute routine, and is more encyclopedic. If you are not already an advanced healer I recommend getting the kit first, because you are more likely to be able to follow a visual demonstration correctly. You are also less likely to understand the concept of energy testing without a visual demonstration which is like watching a magic show. There is so much content in this book, which is based on the twin concepts of touch for healing and kinesiology (energy testing) in which she tests your muscle resistance,and then treats. Donna can see energy, but you can achieve the same thing with energy testing. In this book, you learn about opening the chakras, and celtic weave, figure eights, strange flows, the aura, eye movement exercises, neurovasculars or fight or flight response and many other things. If you have health challenges, you owe it to yourself to do everything you can to resolve them. Seek professional help, go see an energy healer to resolve the issues, and by all means use the techniques in this book, and the energy kit. If you are like me you will be very pleased with this product. If you are unsure about which one to buy first, get the energy medicine kit. Hope this was useful.
