Why energy medicine?

Why energy medicine?

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.

My personal note for 2023 and thoughts on radical honesty

My personal note for 2023 and thoughts on radical honesty

Happy 2023!

Thank you for another year of letting me share my passion for helping you to thrive mentally, physically, and spiritually. These three aspects of being comprise your energetic field and determine your holistic health.

Everything in our world vibrates and is comprised of energy which is part of a universal force that human beings are also a part of. This means that you vibrate and are interconnected with everyone. Thereby, your energetic field affects the collective. 

Want a better world? The most critical thing you can do for yourself, your family, community, and the planet is to elevate your vibration and live a better quality of life. You do this by being the best mental, physical, and spiritual version of yourself.

We’re living in a time when quality of life rather than quantity of life has become our priority. The decision to address your quality of life requires radical honesty. This means no longer lying to yourself. It’s time to admit that you would like to refine some aspect of your life.

Practicing radical honesty isn’t easy. I’ve wrestled with it myself. There were many times when it would have been far easier to maintain the status quo with respect to my health, a relationship, professional situation, or living arrangement than to admit that I wasn’t satisfied.

Last year, I was juggling client sessions, publishing articles and blogs, speaking engagements, research, marketing, and an inspirational book idea. Because the book was not a priority, I kept setting it aside. But the idea nagged at me like a horsefly in my bedroom.

I had to be radically honest: I wanted to write this book. It would never happen unless I committed to it. I chose to limit my speaking engagements and develop my manuscript.

Today, I have a full manuscript that I’m editing. Radical honesty led me to creative expression, upliftment, and to producing something that may one day help to elevate others. Without radical honesty, the book idea would have remained an unrealized desire.

Radical honesty rocks. 

Will you allow radical honesty to elevate your vibe in this new year? Are you being radically honest with yourself about your level of mental, physical, or spiritual satisfaction? Will you finally accept your Self and act on your desire? 

Please contact me if you are ready to rock 2023.

Be honest. 😉

It’s that time of the year again!

Prescription or…?

Prescription or…?

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.

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? 😉

How Balanced is Your Wheel? Find out here…

As a holistic life & wellness coach, I’m a transformation agent helping you to attain greater holistic health and fulfillment in your life.

Holistic health requires enhancing your mental, physical, and emotional energy bodies. To do this, you will want to evaluate and possibly refine several critical aspects of your life — mindfulness, health, home, relationships, personal growth, mindset, finances, and career & purpose.

I have designed a Wheel of Life (“Wheel”) to support you in this effort. This self-assessment tool will help to clarify where you stand with respect to your holistic wellness.

We sometimes push realizations that would require disruption of our existing patterns to our subconscious mind. To make effective changes in your life, you must also engage your subconscious. Research shows that visuals transmit messages to your subconscious mind more powerfully than words. Creating your Wheel will help your subconscious mind to communicate your priorities to your conscious mind.

I invite you to map out your Wheel. You will see below that each piece of this “holistic pie” has gradations. Please rate each area from 0 – 10. Then connect all of the dots with a line that will form a circle (of sorts). Ideally, you want your wheel to be round. But, no one has a round wheel. 😉

Which aspects of your life feel satisfying and which aspects not so much? What changes do you want to stop waiting for? Do you feel equipped to transform these areas? Or, could you use some support, intuitive guidance, and access to carefully curated and effective modalities that will help you to move forward?

It’s already March. Don’t let 2022 be another year of limited potential. I can help you to balance a lopsided or small Wheel. Are you with me?

If you answered “yes,” please contact me to book an exploratory session today.
