Energy Medicine: What, when and why?

"Energy Medicine brings you vitality when you are drained, health when you are ill, and joy when you are down." - Donna Eden

What is it?

Energy Medicine is based on the principle that the health of body, mind, and spirit is anchored in the body's energy systems, or biofields. 

Energy medicine is both a complement to other approaches to medical care and a complete system for self-care and self-help.

Energy medicine can address physical illness and emotional or mental disorders, and can also promote high-level wellness and peak performance.

Whether for humans or animals, Energy Medicine is based on the principle that the health of body, mind and spirit is anchored in the body's energy systems, or biofields. Energy medicine can be a complement to other approaches to medical care and/or a complete system for self-care and self-help. 

What happens during energy medicine sessions?

You will remain clothed while Julie works around you. The purpose of the session is to determine what energy systems are out of balance and to understand the individual client’s unique energy system. 

Applied kinesiology such as muscle testing (while you are clothed) may be used, and you may be given EEM homework, often with demonstration videos, to help keep rejuvenated systems in balance.

Energy, or life force, around the world and across the centuries: qi (China), ki (Japan), dosha (Ayurvedic medicine), prana, fohat, orgone, mana

When should I consider using it?

Talk with Julie about specific concerns and uses. Generally, consider energy medicine to 

• Renew well-being and vitality
• Heal--ease injury, pain and chronic illness
• Provide comfort--relief, resilience and immune support.

Energy modalities are used around the world to treat illness and relieve pain; stop the onset of illness as soon as it begins, and to stimulate immune functions.*

Use EEM to relieve headaches; release stress; improve
memory; enhance digestion; relieve arthritis, neck, shoulder, and low back pain; and cope with allergies, conventional and electromagnetic pollution. 


In short, if it's bothering you--and particularly if conventional Western medicine isn't helping--consider EEM. For animals, use EEM the same way--to ease pain or boost the immune system. Julie is also excellent at intuiting needs of animals that interfere with their well-being and health, and finding solutions.

While ideally initiated face-to-face, advanced practitioners like Julie can often work with you--or those you love, including animals--long distance. This is called distance or remote healing, and is well-documented through the centuries in such practices as Qi gong.

Why doesn't my doctor know about it?

The short version is that conventional Western medicine hasn't had enough experience yet with energy medicine--unlike traditional energy systems upon which EEM is based, used for thousands of years all over the world.  

However, leading physicians and health systems are increasingly researching and using these modalities; your doctor may just not have heard much about it yet. One of the largest medical meetings in the United States--Integrative Healthcare Symposium--meets every year in New York City, with hundreds of Western and Eastern medicine physicians and practitioners sharing integrative best practices to provide better care for all of us.
