Eden Method is an approach that involves balancing and restoring your body's natural energies for the purposes of increasing your vitality, strengthening your mental capacities, and optimizing your health. The form I use draws from the teaching of Donna Eden and her book, Energy Medicine. 

​

Roots. The techniques you will be experiencing and learning trace back to ancient healing and spiritual traditions such as yoga, tai chi, and acupuncture. The modem form I use and teach does not require adherence to any particular set of beliefs or practices. The core concept is that your personal well-being and effectiveness are directly related to the state of your body's energies. 

​

Your Body's Energies. Einstein's famous formula, E=mc2 changed the course of physics and of history by showing that matter is a form of energy. Our bodies are comprised of molecules that are in constant motion and that are continually being influenced by outside forces. The medical profession measures electromagnetic fields using devices such as EKGs, EEGs, and MRI’s. The vital role these energies play in our everyday health and well-being is well established. Scientists from a range of disciplines are now introducing concepts such as "force fields" and "subtle energies" to explain what they are observing. Subtle energies are called "subtle" because they are not easily detectable, and scientists have not been able to develop instruments to reliably measure them. Nonetheless, people throughout history and across cultures have described seeing or feeling subtle energies. 

​

Enhancing Your Body's Energies. You may have heard of subtle energy through terms such as the "life force," "chi," "meridians," "chakras," "biofields," or "auras." In many healing traditions, the "life force," the animating force that distinguishes life from death, is understood as a form subtle energy. Eastern cultures in particular have studied such energies for millennia and have successfully applied their understanding for enhancing both physical and emotional health. Systems designed to influence the body's subtle energies include yoga, Reiki, acupuncture, acupressure, tai chi, Therapeutic Touch, and energy medicine, just to name just a few. Many hospitals in the United States now include such methods to help with the healing of a variety of conditions.

​

The techniques I will be using and teaching you are based on the premise that by promoting balance and flow in the body’s electromagnetic and subtle energies, health and well-being are enhanced. They may involve the use of certain postures or movements or touching, holding, pressing upon, tracing, or circling over specified areas of the skin. They move, balance, enhance, and restore the body's energies. I may also employ a procedure called "energy testing” where I apply light pressure to your outstretched arm, sometimes while you or I touch another area of your body. This is a way of assessing how your energies are flowing through specific areas of your body and may help us identify the techniques that will be most beneficial for you. The methods we will be using lend themselves to highly individualized applications in the office as well as to back-home self-care.
