Energy Medicine for Women

Energy Medicine is particularly potent for women. For almost every health condition a woman faces, hormonal imbalances are in the foreground or in the background. Energy Medicine can help you dance with your hormones more effectively and gracefully than we in the Western world have been taught. In Donna Eden’s award-winning book Energy Medicine for Women, she will teach you how to become a better partner with your own energies and your hormones. When your energies are in harmony, your hormones follow. Energy Medicine helps your body become more effective in adapting to the world in which you live, with its fast pace, stresses, and pollution.

Energy Medicine for Women takes you on a personal tour of your body as an energy system, and it offers simple “energy tools” you can use to help your body function at its best. Below is an example of an exercise found in Energy Medicine for Women, designed to help clear the body of stress and stress chemicals while supporting harmony among your hormones.

The Hormone Hook-up

Step 1. Bring the thumb, index, and middle finger of your right hand together and lightly place this "three finger cluster" at the top of your head.
Step 2. Simultaneously make a three-finger cluster with your left hand and place it just over the curve behind the top of your head. Hold both points for the length of three slow, deep breaths. (In through the nose and out through the mouth.)
Step 3. Flatten your right hand so your palm is on your forehead with your middle finger pointing toward the top of your head. Relax into this hold for another three deep breaths, and relax.

Note: This energy exercise can be done anytime your sense you might benefit from it.

Grounding Techniques

Definitions: An electrical device is “grounded” when it is connected to the ground in a way that allows excess energy to leave the system.

We are “Physically Grounded” when we can feel our connection with the Earth and carry ourselves (posture, movement, awareness) in a manner that is in harmony with the Earth’s gravitational pull.

We are “Emotionally Grounded” when our energies and emotions move through our physically-grounded body freely and are wholesomely discharged through our cells, our breath, our thoughts, and our actions.

We are “Spiritually Grounded” when physically grounded body and emotionally grounded mind are in harmony and alignment with one another and with “spirit” (the animating force within living things).

Bellow are techniques described in the Energy Medicine book that will help align your energies with the force field of the Earth and allow your energies and feelings to move freely through your body:

· “Separating Heaven and Earth”/“Connecting Heaven and Earth”
· The 3rd Eye /Navel “Hook-up”
· “Taking Down the Flames”
· “Expelling the Venom” (Follow with a slow and deliberate “Zip-up” that ends by reaching up and circling your arms down until they hang at your sides
· With your hands on your thighs, smooth your hands down your legs
· The “Wayne Cook Posture”
· The “Three Thumps”
