Frequently Asked Questions

Is Energy Medicine safe?

Many people believe that energy work is the safest form of healing available. The main discomfort that is occasionally reported has involved short-term light-headedness, fatigue, or other minor discomfort. This occurs because when energy starts to move, it can be a powerful shift. When these mild symptoms occur, it is usually an indication that we may need to go more slowly or gently or move to a more calming or balancing technique. This is particularly the case for people with autoimmune disorders or other sensitivities.

As you work with a practitioner, your energy will begin to establish new habits and patterns that will encourage your body’s self-healing abilities.

How long will it take before I see results?

The answer varies from one person to the next and one condition to the next. People usually feel that something good is happening quite quickly. Some are amazed when a long-standing pain was relieved the first time they tried one of our techniques. Freeing blocked energy can create huge changes very fast. But longstanding patterns in your energy system may be like entrenched habits and take several sessions before you experience real change.

The good news is that when you begin to empower yourself with Energy Medicine techniques, most people report that they feel better throughout the day, their pains disperse, their thinking gets clearer, their memory becomes sharper, and they feel more joy.

Can I continue to see my doctor while I am seeing an Eden Energy Medicine Practitioner?

Absolutely. If you are already working with a doctor, Eden Energy Medicine can be an excellent complement to Western Medicine. Eden Energy Medicine works with the underlying energy of your body to support its natural impulse to heal – in any scenario. It can help you recover more quickly from surgery. It can help ease the side effects of chemotherapy or radiation. The list goes on.

Can I have an online/remote session?

While Eden Energy Medicine (EEM) is usually offered as a hands-on approach, increasing numbers of practitioners have been providing online sessions where they teach clients how to self-apply EEM methods for their specific needs. For those of you who have experienced in-person sessions, these will have a different feel, but they can still offer you powerful tools for learning how to bring your body’s energies into balance, which can greatly support your health and well-being.

Is Energy Medicine scientific?

Einstein's formula E=mc2 demonstrates that all matter is a form of energy. Our bodies are also comprised of electromagnetic, electrical, and subtle energies. Electromagnetic energies are measurable fields - an MRI captures that. Electrical energy is the densest form of energy generated by the electrical activity of our heart cells which are like miniature batteries - an ECG or EEG captures that. Subtle energies are the most elusive and not easily detectable. Nonetheless, people throughout history and across cultures have described seeing or feeling subtle energies with terms such as chakras, aura, meridians, chi (Qi), prana, or biofields. Scientists from a range of disciplines are now introducing concepts such as "Biofield Science" and "subtle energies" to explain what they are observing.

Here is a fun video demonstrating the magic of energy in our body using an Energy Stick that glows when we make a full circuit with it by holding each other's hands.

What are the limitations of Energy Medicine?

Although Energy Medicine uses the term “medicine,” it does not imply that Energy Medicine practitioners are practicing medicine. This is a commonly used term by many training programs that teach people how to assess and correct energy imbalances in the body. Energy medicine is not a substitute for the diagnosis and/or treatment of medical or mental health conditions by a licensed healthcare professional. If you have a disorder that has been diagnosed by a licensed medical or mental health professional or a condition that should be evaluated by a licensed health professional, my services should be used only in conjunction with your obtaining that care. I do not diagnose or treat medical or mental health disorders, nor am I trained or licensed to do so. Energy medicine attempts to optimize the body’s overall health and vitality, but it is not to be used instead of appropriate care from a licensed professional.
