Avoid the Flu This Season–Thump Your Spleen Points

dek315 — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 03:10:13 +0000

Why do some of us come down with the flu, while others seem to escape it? Clearly the state of the immune system is the key factor here. A healthy immune system can fight off the attack of the flu bug and keep you healthy even when family members and/or co-workers are dropping like flies. So what can we do to protect ourselves against the flu that does not include a shot or medication? We can THUMP. There are 3 areas on the body that, when stimulated by thumping, stimulate the immune system. They are: K-27 points located 1″ down the diagonal from the knobby endpoints of the collarbone, over the THYMUS gland which is 2-3″ down from the sternal notch or adam’s apple, and the spleen points on the side of the ribcage where the bra line ends. Thumping these points vigorously and often every day, especially as we transition between the seasons or when we are experiencing a lot of stress, will help you stay healthy during flu season!

Helping Broken Bones to Heal

dek315 — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 03:03:26 +0000

For some people, the new year really does start out with a bang. Within just a few days, I learned of 2 acquaintances who fell and broke a bone in their arms. There are so many Energy Medicine techniques for pain, some more complicated than others. But most of them are quite simple to do. One of the easiest, and often the most effective, is to simply trace figure 8′s in the air over the area of pain. Another simple one is to move the hand in counter-clockwise circles over the area of pain. Eden Energy Medicine doesn’t employ too many tools, and the ones we use are certainly not high tech. One that we often use, that is particularly useful as a broken bone protocol, are low intensity magnets with a hole in the center, like the ones you can find at Radio Shack. There are several precautions about using magnets. For example, you don’t want to use them on a diabetic, a pregnant woman, or someone who has metal in their body in the area you want to use the magnet, or someone who has a pacemaker. Also, some people are very sensitive to magnets and in those cases, you would not do this protocol that I am about to describe. If you feel certain that you or the person you are helping can tolerate magnet work, then tape the North side of the magnet on the wound if it is not open, place another magnet, north side above the break, and another magnet, south side, below the break. You can use a compass to determine the north side and the south side, unless you happen to know the special Energy Medicine technique for discovering that information.

Enjoy the Holidays WITHOUT Stress

dek315 — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 04:26:16 +0000

It’s not the fact that you have a gazillion and one things to do for the holidays that creates the stress, it’s the story you make up about it that does. If you continue to convince yourself that the holidays are something other than joyful and fun, then guess what!
They won’t be joyful or fun. So self-talk such as:
“I’ll never get it all done”, this is too much work”,or ” I dread spending the day with my in-laws” puts a label or judgement on the activity. Instead of running those movies in your mind about how awful or impossible the holiday period will unfold, stay in the present moment. Put 100% of your focus on the task at hand. That means notice what you are seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and feeling. What this does is take you out of your analytical, thinking mind. It’s that mind that gets you into trouble every time! Instead, actually experience your life NOW, as it is unfolding, and then there is NO ROOM for the mind chatter to enter and take your mood down. Set the intention to be present and accept what is, even if it’s not the way you really wanted it to be. Try it, you might like it!

Energy Medicine: Radiant Circuits: Bridging the gap

dek315 — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 03:18:10 +0000

Donna Eden defines 10 different Radiant Circuits, including called the two Bridge Flows. The yin bridge flow travels on the front of the body and the yang bridge flow travels on the back of the body. These pathways represent connections, be it physical, emotional, or spiritual. In the case of yin bridge, if it is out of balance, a person may feel disconnected from the self. One of the Energy Medicine protocols for balancing the Radiant Circuits is called the Anchor and Wander technique. While there are many ways to revive a radiant circuit that has gone dormant, Anchoring and Wandering is the deepest way to strengthen those circuits. I had the opportunity to do this protocol today for a client who had difficulty feeling connected to his physical body. Afterwards, my client reported a sense of sustained awareness of his entire body whereas previously he had experienced an emptiness or disconnect from different areas of the body. A simple method to activate this circuit is to trace 3 hearts on the torso with both hands beginning between the breasts, coming straight up to just beneath the collarbone, making the heart shape around the outside of the breasts and coming together a few inches below the navel.

Eden Energy Medicine-Shifting Stuck Patterns

dek315 — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 04:14:13 +0000

I am still flying high from my trip to Phoenix, Arizona and my role as a Teaching Assistant at the last class for the 2011 graduates of the Eden Energy Medicine Certification Program. Over 500 students are now certified in this amazing body of work. Donna Eden presided over the graduation ceremony along with her husband, her 2 daughters and her adorable grandson.

Part of the Class 8 curriculum is the Shock Point Protocol. Who hasn’t experienced some form of shock in their lives. Whether it is a personal tragedy like the loss of a job or a loved one, or a global tragedy like 9/11 or the Tsunami in Asia, the negative energy of the trauma can have a sabotaging effect on your ability to heal, make changes, or reach your goals. Soon after I learned the Shock Point Technique, I began using it on clients. Even though I hadn’t explained what I was testing and correcting, I did invite them to share any memories or feelings that came up for them while I was working. Every time they came up with a memory of something painful in their lives that had happened quite suddenly. Afterwards they felt a sense of lightness. This is often the feeling after shifting stuck energy patterns.

Radiant Circuits – Your Joy Generators

dek315 — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 17:52:43 +0000

As I am polishing my PowerPoint for my next Regional Energy Medicine class towards Eden Energy Medicine Certification, I am reminded of the extraordinary value of the Energy System known as the Radiant Circuits. If you are experiencing a lack of joy in your life or a difficulty in breaking old habit patterns or a tendency to dwell in the past, it may be that your Radiant Circuits have gone dormant. There are some great exercises that can wake them up and there are many activities that turn those circuits on like singing, dancing, having your back scratched (if you like that), holding a baby, smiling and laughing, falling in love. The Radiant Circuits are also a support system for other subtle energy systems so it is very important to wake them up and keep them humming. Your ability to live in joy depends on it!

The Meridian System

dek315 — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 01:19:12 +0000

One of the 9 Energy Systems I work with is the Meridian System. This system dates back over 5,000 years and is the foundational system of Oriental Medicine. This is the same system that acupuncturists are working with when they balance energy. A lot of what I do is like acupuncture without the needles. The philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine is that if something is not right in your life, it means that there is a disruption in the flow of energy in and around your body. As an Eden Energy Medicine Practitioner, I locate those problem areas and make the corrections to allow that energy to flow in a way that supports your body.

Thankful for EFT

dek315 — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 01:16:12 +0000

Friday morning was so beautiful compared to the hot and humid weather that had been the norm for so long. Because the day was so spectacular, my yoga teacher held our weekly yoga class outside. Afterwards, I put on my sneakers to take a walk on the woodsy trail across the street. I had just started my trek back to the car when I tripped over a rock and twisted my foot and fell to the ground writhing in pain. I couldn’t believe how much it hurt and I couldn’t believe this had happened to me and I couldn’t imagine how I would stand up, let alone make the 20 minute walk back to my car. Finally I got a grip and I reminded myself that I am an Energy Medicine and EFT Practitioner and that I had tools to handle this. The first course of action was to weave figure 8′s over my sore foot.
That is almost always my first line of defense because figure 8 patterns are such an important component for the energetic health of our bodies. I did this for about 5 minutes. Then I began the EFT tapping: Even though I have so much pain in my foot, I accept myself, I accept my body. I forgive myself for losing my balance and for having this pain, and I now choose for my foot to return to normal. I continued with variations on this theme for about 5 minutes and the throbbing COMPLETELY subsided. I stood up and proceeded very gingerly until I was convinced that my foot was working properly. I walked back to my car with NO PROBLEM except that I felt overwhelmed with gratitude at what seemed like a miracle–to go from such intense pain to no pain in less than 10 minutes. I have always been a believer in EFT and yet I am still so surprised when it works! As they say, TRY IT ON EVERYTHING!
