What is Eden Energy Medicine?

We all possess a natural, self-healing intelligence. With the help of energy medicine, we can learn to understand and work with this intelligence to enhance our well-being.

Eden Energy Medicine draws on the work of respected healer and teacher, Donna Eden, as well as on traditions such as Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine. It provides a system for assessing and improving the function of foundational energies such as the meridians, the aura, and the chakras.

These wellness practices are easy to learn, effective, and enjoyable. Consisting of methods that move and balance energy, they include holding or tapping acupressure points, tracing meridians, clearing chakras, stretching, and other exercises.

Eden Energy Medicine does not diagnose or treat disease. It does, however, rebalance and support the body's energies. Many find that practicing the corrective techniques can restore balance, reset problematic stress-response patterns, invite relaxation and replenish energy.
