Article: Energy Medicine

Energy medicine opens up a whole new way of helping your body heal.  If you've only been working from a physical perspective, you've only been able to influence a small part of your whole healing potential.  Often, illness or dis-ease begins in your energy body first before it manifests in your physical body, so working with energy medicine is truly getting to the source of the problem.  Energy medicine is both a general term encompassing all forms of healing which use energy or manipulate energy systems to affect healing and a specific collection of instructions from Donna Eden, who wrote a book by the same name.

Donna Eden's Energy Medicine -- Donna's books are the definitive worka outlining the several energy systems recognized by Donna Eden.  She explains and teaches how she experiences each energy system, how it works, and how to balance, support, and heal each one: Chakra System, Meridian System, Aura, Electrics, Celtic Weave, Basic Grid, Five Rhythms, Triple Warmer, and Radiant Circuits.  This is one of the most valuable, basic resources you can have.  Additional resources are available from Donna Eden, also.

Reiki -- Reiki is the name assigned to a system of moving Chi.  Rei means "Universal" and Ki means "Chi" in Japanese.  Thus, Reiki is just Univeral Chi.  The "practice" of Reiki involves a practitioner directing more Chi to your body than your body already has flowing through it.  Reiki practitioners are able to flow more Chi than the average person, depending on their level of Reiki, and can direct more to someone they are assisting.  This is a modality that tends to have an awful lot of mysticism attached to it by certain people, which is not Reiki.  Not only is Reiki extremely valuable as a healing modality, but it is also something that you can easily do for yourself with relatively minimal investment.

Quantum Touch -- Quantum Touch is a program of learning to raise your own body's vibration frequency to a high level and then use that to raise the vibration of someone else's body through entrainment.  It can be easily learned by anyone, including children, and is extremely effective.  Unlike Reiki, you cannot really use QT on yourself, but family members can easily learn the process together and work on each other.

Body Talk -- Body Talk is an extremely powerful program combining energy testing with moving energy in the body to facilitate healing.  While it is not something you can totally do for yourself without taking classes to become a practitioner, it is a very valuable tool to seek out for issues that you need more help with.  There are a few techniques that are available for all to learn, one of which I use daily.
