The techniques you experience and learn through energy medicine trace back to ancient healing and spiritual traditions such as yoga, tai chi, and acupuncture. The modern form I use and teach does not require adherence to any particular set of beliefs or practices. The core concept is that your personal well-being and effectiveness are directly related to the state of your body’s energies.  Energy has certain principles it follows within Energy Medicine.

• Energy wants to move, and in specific patterns, one being the figure 8 pattern. 

• For energy to move it needs space to move.  Creating space can be as easy as moving our bodies in any way that feels good, massaging body, stretching, and laughing, to name a few. 

• All of our energy bodies are inter-connected and are affected by others and the environment around us. 

• If under threat, energies will shift to protect you as the priority, and if this goes on for too long a habit can form. 

• The good news is energy can be re-patterned to return to harmony.  

• The health of your body reflects the health of your energies and the more flow and balance within your energies reflects more vitality and richness in your life.  ​

You may have heard of subtle energy through terms such as the “life force,” “chi,” “meridians,” “chakras,” “biofields,” or “auras.” In many healing traditions, the “life force,” the animating force that distinguishes life from death, is understood as a form of subtle energy. Eastern cultures in particular have studied such energies for millennia and have successfully applied their understanding for enhancing both physical and emotional health. Systems designed to influence the body’s subtle energies include yoga, Reiki, acupuncture, acupressure, tai chi, Therapeutic Touch, and energy medicine, just to name just a few.  Many hospitals in the United States now include such methods to help with the healing of a variety of conditions and have been detecting subtle energies by measuring the electromagnetic fields around the heart and throughout the body with devices such as EKGs, EEGs, and MRIs.

​

The techniques I use and teach you are based on the premise that by promoting balance and flow in the body’s electromagnetic and subtle energies, health and well-being are enhanced. They may involve the use of certain tool related to sound, frequency, and polarity such as tuning forks, crystals, color, magnets and more.  Other techniques include postures or movements, or touching, holding, pressing upon, tracing, or circling over specified areas of the skin. They move, balance, enhance, and restore the body’s energies. 

​

I may also use a tool called “energy testing” where I apply light pressure to your outstretched arm or leg to receive feedback from your body. This is a way of assessing how your energies are flowing through specific areas of your body and may help us identify the techniques that will be most beneficial for you. The methods I will be using lend themselves to highly individualized applications during sessions as well as back-home self-care.
