The origin of the hashtag #SherringEnergy dates back to early 2016. At the time, Risa Gans shared a picture of herself in a comment on Facebook —a photo her husband had taken of her sleeping with her arms crossed.
In Eden Method, also known as Eden Energy Medicine (EEM), folding arms in this position is referred to as the Triple Warmer-Spleen Hug. Risa wanted to enhance the photo so she could share it in a Facebook group she ran for transplant survivors.
Risa was a Cystic Fibrosis survivor who had undergone two double lung transplants. She was also the person who introduced many transplant patients to Eden Energy Medicine. Risa practiced EEM daily and credited it with making a significant difference in her life and aiding her post-surgery recoveries.
Over the years, Risa became an active contributor to Eden Energy Medicine Facebook groups and founded two Facebook groups for transplant survivors. When I came across her photo that day, I edited it, added a label, and sent it back to her. She was thrilled with the result and excited to share it in her groups. She then asked me, "What do you sign your work with when you create a meme or photo? What hashtag do you use?" I admitted I didn’t have one.
She smiled and said, "You are SherringEnergy, so that’s what you’ll sign with."
And just like that, the first photo labeled with the hashtag #SherringEnergy was born.
