Why energy medicine?

Why energy medicine?

by | Mar 24, 2023 | Well-being, Wellness

For thousands of years, every culture in the world has shared a natural approach to remaining mentally, physically, and spiritually healthy. Today, some indigenous tribes continue to look to natural remedies to promote health and well-being before seeking out allopathic medicine. What is their secret weapon?

Energy medicine. Energy medicine turns on the body’s natural healing energy, or life force. Different traditions refer to this life force by different names. Traditional Chinese medicine refers to it as qi or chi, Ayurveda as prana, and Native Americans as the Great Spirit.

This complementary medicine uses things such as hands, needles, acupoints, and mindset techniques, among others. It includes modalities such as light therapy, acupuncture, acupressure, chakra balancing, emotional freedom technique (EFT), flower essence therapy, color therapy, meditation, and yoga.

Aimed at healing imbalances in your mental, physical, and emotional subtle energy bodies, energy medicine is based on the fundamental premise that all physical objects (bodies) and psychological processes (thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and attitudes) express their energy.

The energetic state of each of your three subtle energy bodies creates your holistic health. When energy is flowing freely, you experience vibrant health and well-being. But the flow of energy can sometimes become blocked or disrupted.

What causes your energetic bodies to lose their natural state of balance? Any dis-ease, meaning any stress or trauma that you experience, can remain held within them, lead to imbalance and left unreleased, eventually cause blockages, illness, and disease. Energy medicine’s goal is to heal any imbalances by restoring the flow of energy.

Western medicine, based on an anatomical model, excels at emergency care, improving symptoms and eradicating disease. Energy medicine, which is considered a more Eastern approach, focuses on caring for your mental, physical, and emotional energetic bodies in order to heal the root cause of these imbalances.

Do you feel vibrant, meaning in your highest vibration mentally, physically, and emotionally? Feeling balanced and healthy? Are you fulfilled and satisfied with your choices? Do you feed your soul? Are you engaged with life…or simply going through the motions?

If you answered “no” to any of these questions, I invite you to contact me to schedule a FREE 20-minute Discovery Call to determine if I may be able to help you to put the best version of you forward in this world.

You want to thrive. I draw upon several energy medicine techniques that can help you get there.

This single session will have your loved one walk away with a list of priorities to help them get unstuck. Through my training in science-based modalities for well-being, various philosophical belief systems, and subtle energy techniques such as mantra, flower essences, EFT, and more, I can help your gift recipient:

Prescription or…?

Prescription or…?

by | Nov 8, 2022 | Well-being, Wellness

You’ve had a prescription from your medical doctor, right?

Think back…

How often did you receive a prescription that focused on improving your lifestyle before pharmaceutical drugs or a recommendation for an invasive procedure? Things like:

  • Eating healthier
  • Exercising regularly
  • Getting more sleep
  • Grounding
  • Managing stress better
  • Addressing your mindset
  • Expanding your social circle
  • Reevaluating your career or relationship
  • Accepting yourself
  • Establishing a yoga and/or meditation practice
  • Releasing what you are resisting
  • Cultivating presence
  • Recognizing that your health is the sum of mind, body, and spirit
  • And more…

These actions help to bring your body into the homeostasis, or balance, that’s required to maintain your holistic health. I love my primary care physician, but he’s never prescribed lifestyle medicine.

The pandemic revealed how few people truly understand preventative health, meaning actions you can take to keep your immune system strong and thereby help to prevent the development of chronic disease. Your health is the sum of the states of your mental, physical, and emotional bodies. Human beings have been masterfully designed to thrive. Unfortunately, the stress and toxins of modern life cause your minds, bodies, and spirits to develop imbalances that negatively affect your overall health and cause you to struggle.

You have more power to impact your holistic health than you are led to believe. The recent pandemic would have resulted in far less hospitalizations if everyone had a holistic wellness coach to support them in practicing lifestyle medicine.

Where do you keep your cellphone?

Where do you keep your cellphone?

by | Jul 19, 2022 | Holistic Health, Well-being

Ever read the fine print of your cellphone’s owner’s manual? If so, it likely recommends that your device be kept at least one inch away from your body to ensure that you don’t exceed safety limits for electromagnetic frequency (EMF) exposure.

EMFs, invisible waves of energy, are often referred to as radiation. As the number of human-made EMF emissions continues to increase exponentially, it’s no longer just cell phones emitting EMF. We now have Wi-Fi, wireless thermostats, wireless speakers, smart refrigerators, numerous Bluetooth
devices, and more.

This said, one source of EMF accounts for more of our daily exposure than others. 97% of Americans own a cellphone. The average person spends about 5 hours per day on their device. Furthermore, most people keep their cellphones near their bodies all day and night. Modifying your cellphone habits can significantly impact how much EMF radiation your body absorbs daily.

This is important because EMF frequencies can negatively impact your health. What constitutes excessive exposure varies by individual and could result in insomnia, headaches, tinnitus, dizziness, fatigue, stress, greater risk of cancer and neurodegenerative disease (includes Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s), potential fertility issues, trouble concentrating, learning and memory deficits, nausea, night sweats, and more.

Although the medical jury may still be debating this matter, I’ve seen a good number of clients benefit by reducing their EMF exposure. It never hurts to try. 

Of course, none of us want to believe that this could be true. It’s inconvenient. 

Cellphones and other EMF-emitting devices will only continue to become an even more integral part of our daily lives. Here are several ways to protect yourself from excessive exposure:

Cellphone Hygiene

  • Keep phone more than 1 inch away from your body at all times.
  • Don’t sleep with your phone on in your bedroom.
  • Keep phone on Airplane Mode when not in active use.
  • Use Speaker Phone rather than place the device next to your ear.
  • Use earbuds if a headset is needed.
  • Use phone only when the signal is strong, as radiation increases when it is weak (1-2 bars).

Landlines
Opt for corded landlines. Cordless phone base stations emit high levels of radiation.

Wi-Fi
Turn off Wi-Fi router when not in use, especially at bedtime.

Wearables
Avoid wearables such as wireless watches, sleep monitors, headsets, and fitness devices

Smart Meter Programs
Opt out of your electric, water, and gas utilities’ smart meter program. I tried this, but was unsuccessful. ConEd agreed that I had the right to opt-out due to health concerns. However, they deemed that they had the right to charge me a penalty of $100 per month for exercising that right. 

My objective is to support you in living your best life by making you aware of lifestyle changes and simple modalities that can help you to express your highest potential in this lifetime.

Please contact me if you would like to schedule an appointment to assess your holistic priorities. Feeling balanced mentally, physically, and emotionally is far more meaningful than any convenience. 😉

Ever try Flower Remedies? — FREE offer!

Ever try Flower Remedies? — FREE offer!

Spring is the season nature revives and regenerates. Flowers bloom, and human beings respond to this energy similarly.

Did you know that in addition to lifting our mood, flowers also have the power to heal the emotional imbalances we all develop as a part of being human? Flower essences, infusions of the vibrational qualities of flowers, are included in the emerging field of energy medicine. They carry an energetic frequency which can restore emotional imbalances.

As a certified Bach flower essence practitioner and intuitive, I frequently prescribe flower essences to my coaching clients. I’m able to determine exactly which of the 38 flower essences in Dr. Bach’s system your body is calling for.

For the month of May, I’m giving away a FREE 30-minute virtual flower essence therapy session to each of the first five people who sign-up.

Why is balancing your emotional states important? Your mental, physical, and emotional bodies are interconnected. Since ancient times, healers have believed that physical manifestations of disease have their root in emotional imbalances.

Today, many of us are not the same people we were when we rang in 2020. Our priorities have changed and we have revised, are revising, or want to revise the blueprint that previously directed us. These processes come with emotional challenges that can often lead to physical symptoms.

Flower essences (applied to the skin or ingested) are completely safe and have no side-effects or contraindications with medications. They can help you to balance emotions such as:

  • fear
  • overwhelm
  • discouragement
  • hopelessness and despair
  • living in the past
  • fatigue
  • impatience
  • lack of confidence
  • exhaustion
  • guilt
  • indecisiveness
  • shock
  • anguish after trying everything
  • isolation
  • uncertainty over one’s direction

To learn more about flower essences, Dr. Bach, and my journey with this ancient healing modality, read my article published last year, Five Tips to Support Change with Flower Essence Therapy.

I believe that human beings should thrive, not just survive. Emotional imbalances cause energetic blocks. When you release these constraints, you feel better holistically and are more able to express your potential. Isn’t this what life is about? 😉

It’s that time of the year again!
