Frequently Asked Questions

Energy Medicine recognizes energy as a vital, living, moving force that determines much about health and happiness.

To maintain vibrant health, the body needs its energies to:

Move and have space to continue to move—energies may become blocked due to toxins, muscular or other constriction, prolonged stress, or interference from other energies.

Move in specific patterns—generally in harmony with the physical structures and functions that the energies animate and support. "Flow follows function."

Cross over—at all levels, from the micro-level of the double helix of DNA, extending to the macro-level where the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and the right side controls the left.

Maintain a balance with other energies—the energies may lose their natural balance due to prolonged stress or other conditions that keep specific energy systems in a survival mode.

Conversely, when the body is not healthy, corresponding disturbances in its energies can be identified and treated.

Energy Medicine utilizes techniques from time-honored traditions such as acupuncture, yoga, kinesiology, and qi gong, as well as techniques developed by Donna based on her ability to see subtle energy.

Flow, balance, and harmony can be non-invasively restored and maintained within an energy system by:

• Tapping, pinching, twisting, or connecting specific energy points (accupoints) on the skin

• Tracing or swirling the hand over the skin along specific energy pathways

• Doing exercises or postures designed for specific energetic effects 

• Focusing the mind to move specific energies 

• Surrounding an area with healing energies

While Reiki also works with the body’s energy systems, it is not the same as Eden Energy Medicine (EEM) or Bio-Energy Healing.

EEM works with all nine energy systems (meridians, chakras, aura, radiant circuits, Triple Warmer, Celtic Weave, Five Rhythms, Electrics and Basic Grid).

Bio-Energy Healing works primarily with the Chakras and removes blockages allowing the energy to flow freely.

With Reiki, the healer places his or her hands on a series of positions and the energy does the rest.

You may wear anything comfortable to your appointment. You will always remain clothed, however we will ask you to remove jewelry and watches during your session. We also ask that you remove your shoes, but may leave your socks on if you choose.

With Eden Energy Medicine we energy test everything! Sometimes called muscle testing, the testing is very gentle and generally requires you to hold an arm or leg up for a brief moment. Energy testing is simple, yet such a profound way to learn more about your body and energies!

With Eden Energy Method it is very possible to see positive changes within the first session, especially if you practice your “homework.” However, complex issues that often have grown over the course of many years may take time to balance. I like to compare it to that of an onion, we are made with many layers to our energies systems.

A typical Bio-Energy Healing treatment takes place over 4 consecutive weeks with a follow up session after 1 month. Bio-Energy Healing is non–invasive. There is minimal touch and the client remains fully clothed removing only shoes and metal objects.

Depending upon the nature of a person’s condition, how serious it is and how long they have it some clients may require a second course of sessions.

Energy Healing can help a number of issues including emotional and or mental troubles. Working with a practitioner to energy test can determine how anxiety affects your unique energies.

Yes! Donna Eden explains that pain is trapped energy. Energy needs to flow properly and in the correct directions. When the energy is trapped or stuck, there are techniques available to free it up and make space for the energy to move.

Energy Healing is not limited to treating specific conditions because the focus is on the cause of the illness; the blocked energy.

That being said, many illnesses have responded favourably to treatment including: back pain, headaches, migraine, arthritis, asthma, allergies, eczema, stress, irritable bowl syndrome, chronic fatigue, menstrual dysfunction, impotence, depression, infertility, digestive problems, ulcers, cysts, insomnia, emotional problems, diabetes, epilepsy, addictions and early stages of certain cancers.

During sessions clients may feel heat or cold, tingling sensations and also swaying or movement of the body. After the session some clients immediately begin to feel remarkable changes in their health. Others become more aware of their illness for a few days as their body starts to release years of stagnant energy. Clients may also notice very little happening initially but find their illnesses have disappeared over the weeks following the sessions. This example is like a traffic jam; once the problem has been removed the cars at the back of the line still have to wait to get moving. Practitioners know that once they have successfully restored the flow of energy to the body, they can step back and trust the process to work.

Until now. Who would you be without your issue? Helping to get the client out of their own way is one way the practitioner helps. The Practitioner does not make the energy flow through a client. Much like a river, the energy flows by itself. The job of the Energy Healing Practitioner is to remove blocks, assisting the energy to flow more freely through the body.

It is said that there are no incurable ailments only incurable people, meaning those people who do not participate in their own healing. If you break your leg your Doctor will place it in a protective cast, but who heals it? When you have injuries, cuts and bruises who heals them? (Hint…you do!!)

The problems arise when illness becomes more serious and we begin to look outwards. This is not necessarily a bad thing, unless we let go of our own responsibility to get better. Renowned health expert Dr. Deepak Chopra cites studies confirming that those who believe they will get well and who take responsibility for their own health are more likely to recover from potentially incurable ailments. We ask clients simply to be open to the healing, you don’t have to believe in it, just be willing to experience it. Energy Healing has worked for thousands of people and it can work for you too.
