Energy Medicine for Hiccups

My step-daughter, who is now over 30, is prone to hiccups.   Sunday we were walking and talking and began to hiccup and then it stopped.  I was surprised because usually once they start, they go on for a long time.  So I turned to look at her and she said–that hook-up you taught me is amazing.  It stops my hiccups every time.  Why is that, she asked.  I said that I wasn’t entirely sure but what I did know is that, although there are different theories out there, no one knows for sure what causes hiccups.  But they do seem to emanate from the back of the throat.  The purpose of the hook-up is to reconnect the two meridians that run up the center line of the body travelling right through the chakras.  So here’s my theory:  Perhaps those hiccups are the way the body is trying to communicate the fact that those two energies have become disconnected.  For those who are unfamiliar with the hook-up, here’s what you do:  Place one finger (I use middle fingers) in the navel, and then a finger of the other hand at the third eye located between the eyebrows.  Pulling up on the skin on both areas, take at least 3 full, deep breaths.  Usually that is enough to get you hooked up again!

If that does not work for you, there is something else you can try.  Massage or tap on the center of the wrist crease on the palm side of the hand (in line with the middle finger.  This is something called a source point for the Circulation/Sex (Pericardium) meridian.  That point is also known to bring hiccups to a halt!  Try it and let me know which one works for you!

Figure 8′s to the Rescue AGAIN for PAIN

Last night I was waiting for my luggage at baggage claim at the airport.  A young boy, I’m guessing he was about 4 years old, had been curious about the luggage carousel and somehow got his fingers smashed and was clearly in pain and crying.  In fact, his mother told me that she knew he was hurting because he rarely cried.  The parents were trying to console him and distract him from the pain.  I could not resist my urge to help.  I told the parents that I do energy work and that this might sound silly, but this had worked for my own finger injury and maybe it will help their son.  I told the mom to weave figure 8′s over the wound and she explained to her son that this would make the pain go away.   He stopped crying immediately–it was quite amazing.  The mom asked how long she should do it, and I said for as long as she was willing–the fingers seemed a big swollen, even bruised.  As she was working, she asked me how I had injured my finger so I told her the story.  Then the little boy, who was very calm by now, wanted to know where was the restaurant where I had gotten hurt.  So once agin, Figure 8′s came to the rescue!

EFT for dealing with Grief

The husband of a dear friend of mine died quite suddenly and prematurely.  Fortunately she is well-versed in the benefits of both Eden Energy Medicine and EFT, but she found that at times, the overwhelming sense of grief that she felt was just too much to bear.  Most of the time she felt she was able to hold it together, particularly when she was with other people.  But lately, she was feeling so sad and lost that she did not even want to be with other people for fear of bringing them down.  She took me up on my offer to guide her through some EFT in the hopes that it would shift the feelings enough that she could accept an invitation by friends to spend a weekend at the beach.  It never ceases to amaze me how the tapping helps you get to the feeling underneath the more obvious feelings.  We started with the obvious:  feeling sad, missing him, it’s not fair, feeling lost, feeling like I can’t make it on my own, and pretty soon we shifted into feeling resentful of other couples,  feeling like others don’t appreciate what they have, feeling sorry for myself, understanding my feelings are normal, feeling grateful for all the wonderful memories, honoring our love by keeping those memories alive.  I am happy to report that by the end of our session, there were no more tears and she had no resistance to joining her friends at the beach!

P.S.  My friend had a lovely time at the beach and is very glad she went!

Wednesday evening I had the privilege of joining some of my fellow faculty members from the Eden Energy Medicine Certification Program on a live teleseminar, during which we discussed Eden Energy Medicine as well as the Certification Program.  Here is the replay link for your listening pleasure–it is slightly over an hour.  Your comments will be most welcome!

Energy Medicine Saves the Day–Again!

After transporting my father-in-law to his doctor’s appointment today, he and I and my mother-in-law went out to lunch together.  After being seated, I reached under the sides of my chair to skooch closer to the table, and somehow I caught the index finger of my left hand on something sharp, let out a yell, and felt a throbbing, stinging pain. I looked at my poor finger.  It was not pretty.  There was a significant cut just below the nail and it was bleeding and throbbing so strongly and painfully that it was all I could do to hold back the tears so as not to upset my in-laws. I felt as though all the blood had drained from my face and I felt a little whoosey as well.   I wrapped the finger in a paper napkin to try to stop the bleeding.  I didn’t know if I was going to lose the finger nail or not, and the pain was WICKED.  I instinctively began to weave figure 8′s over the sore finger with the index and middle fingers of my right hand .  I was probably hovering about 1″ above the wound and right away I could feel the vibration very strongly directly above where my fingers were travelling.  Even now, 7 hours later, I still feel that vibration when I draw the figure 8′s above it.  The next thing I did was  trace the large intestine meridian backwards to sedate it, because that meridian begins at the index finger and pain is a reflection of excess energy.  Immediately, the throbbing began to subside, and soon it was reduced to a dull ache.  Also, the bleeding, which I had feared might go on for a long time, subsided as well.  Fortunately the restaurant owner found a band-aid so I didn’t have to hold the napkin around my finger for very long, the discomfort became just a sore and I could, after all that, enjoy a lovely lunch!  I am SO GRATEFUL to Donna Eden for the Energy Medicine tools that I’ve acquired over the years.   Weaving figure 8′s and sedating the meridian where the pain sits are just two of many effective pain techniques that students of Eden Energy Medicine learn.  Many of them can be found in the book, Energy Medicine by Donna Eden.

Restoring and maintaining optimal health is not as daunting a task when you understand the language of energy.  Your body is communicating to you all the time about what it wants and needs.  Unfortunately, more often than not,  we are too wrapped up in our own mind chatter to hear those messages.  Donna Eden Energy Medicine offers tools to  figure out where the imbalances are in your body and presents the possible ways to bring those energies into balance.  Tune in to this FREE teleclass to learn more about Eden Energy Medicine and where it is offered in the northeast.  If you have friends and/or family in the northeast, please encourage them to tune in as well.

Pain Chasing Technique

I am flying high after after the culmination of my 3rd year teaching the Year 1 of the Donna Eden Energy Medicine Certification Program in Orange, CT!  I’m happy to say that most of the students from this year’s class plan to continue their studies in Phoenix beginning this May.

During Class 4, the topics taught were Radiant Circuits (also known as the Joy Generators), Chakras, Pain Techniques and Sensory Types, which is a relationship self-help tool.

I was demonstrating a technique called Pain Chasing on a student who had been suffering from a pain in her wrist for over 10 years.  A simple act like trying to pick up a book could be excruciatingly painful for her.  We determined that her pain resided on the Lung meridian.  As I began chasing the pain down the meridian line from one end to the other, I began asking questions.  From the ensuing dialog, we discovered that her pain began when she was assigned to help victims of 9/11 soon after the tragedy occurred. She did not want to do it, only because she knew it would be extremely difficult for her emotionally.  She knew it would be impossible for her to stay detached so that she wouldn’t have a meltdown herself.  And the guilt of not wanting to help had been lodged in her wrist in the Lung Meridian all these years.  The Lung Meridian is all about Letting Go, Guilt and Grief.  During the session, she cried, she laughed, and clearly something shifted.  By the end, the pain disappeared and she was able to pick up a book without discomfort.

Pain Chasing is just one of MANY pain techniques taught in the Energy Medicine Certification Program.

P.S.  Here is the reaction from my student after she read this blog:

WOW!!!!  I am truly and deeply honored.  Not to mention still walking around wiggling my thumb and looking at it incredulously!  Thank you.
