Development of a Healthcare Approach Focusing on Subtle Energies: The Case of Eden Energy Medicine

“Energy medicine helps the body “tune” to the right frequency for optimal health”

Why do some hands-on healing techniques work when regular medicine doesn't seem to help?

While doctors look at your body's physical parts, energy practitioners assess the energy patterns flowing by energy testing. Both approaches are valid and actually work together at the most basic level—your cells, electrical signals, and the energy fields around your body.

What Does "Energy" in Your Body Mean?

Your body is basically an electrical system:

• Your nerves send electrical messages throughout your body
• Your heart and brain create measurable electrical fields
• Medical machines like EKGs, EEGs, and MRIs actually read these energies
• Even your cells give off tiny amounts of light (called biophotons)

Beyond the electricity we can easily measure, your body has energy fields that:

• Help your cells divide and grow properly
• Guide healing when you're injured
• Your heart's energy field is actually 60 times stronger than your brain’s!

What Are "Subtle Energies"?

Traditional healing systems believe there are additional types of energy that are harder to detect with current scientific tools. These "subtle energies" or "life force" (called qi, prana, or chi in different cultures) may help explain some puzzling health phenomena that regular medicine can't fully explain.

Phantom Limb Pain: 

Most people who lose a limb still feel pain where it used to be. Some find relief when energy workers treat the "energy" of the missing limb.

Heart Transplant Memories: 

Some heart transplant patients suddenly like foods or music their donor loved, even though they never liked them before.

The Woman Who Lost Her Brother

While working with the heart chakra of a morose 36-year-old woman, Donna told her, "I feel I am looking out at the world from the age of about 7, and I have just lost someone I love dearly. It's not a parent; perhaps it's a sibling? My grief is too much to bear. My heart is closing down."The woman's startled and tearful reply was "that's when Robert, my older brother, was accidentally shot by a neighbor boy who was playing with his father's gun. He died 2 days later." Donna literally saw that the information coming to her was in the energy of the woman's heart chakra. Following this session and the healing of her long-buried, unresolved grief, a dramatic increase in the woman's capacity for intimacy was reflected in her marriage.

Heart Transplant Recipients Taking on Donor Traits

Recipients who never liked beer or a particular food or classical music may suddenly begin to long for what their donor had craved. One recipient, upon being read the lyrics of songs written by her donor, was able to finish the lines. Recipients sometimes have dreams that they later learn shared striking features with the wa

Healing Intelligence: 

When you get a cut, electrical fields form at the wound site and seem to coordinate the complex healing process.

The Qi Gong Master's Long-Distance Cancer Cell Killing

Jixing Li, a qi gong master in Northern California, was able to direct energies with pinpoint accuracy, killing cancer cells in a petri dish set up for the experiment at Pennsylvania State University, 3000 miles away, in the laboratory of the physician John Neely. Cancer cells in adjacent, untargeted petri dishes just inches away weren't affected.

Harold Burr's Salamander Egg Experiment

Burr measured the electrical field around an unfertilized salamander egg and found that it was shaped like a mature salamander, as if the blueprint for the adult was already there in the egg's energy field. The electrical axis that would later be aligned with the brain and spinal cord was already present in the unfertilized egg.

Medical Intuitive Diagnosis at a Distance

Neurosurgeon Norm Shealy provided medical intuitive Carolyn Myss the names and birthdates of patients he had diagnosed. Myss had no contact with or other information about the patients. Myss' clairvoyant diagnoses matched Shealy's medical diagnoses in 93% of the cases. Myss' statements were specific, such as "left testicle malignant, spread to left kidney; venereal herpes; and schizophrenia."

These stories illustrate the various phenomena that energy medicine practitioners encounter and the types of healing experiences reported in the field.

Group Effects: 

Studies show that when large groups meditate together, crime rates in the area temporarily drop.

The Crime Prevention Meditation Study

Crimes in Washington DC had increased steadily over the first 5 months of 1973. At that point, a crime prevention project brought thousands of transcendental meditation practitioners into the city for a two-month experiment between June 7 and July 30. The organizers publicly predicted that crime would be reduced by 20%. This prediction was ridiculed by the Chief of Police, who asserted that the only thing that would decrease crime that much that summer would be "20 inches of snow."

A week after the study's start, violent crime, as measured by FBI Uniform Crime Statistics, began decreasing and continued to drop until it had been reduced by 23.3% by the experiment's end. After the meditators went home, crime began to increase again.

Your Body's Energy Systems

(According to Eden Energy Medicine)

Energy medicine practitioners work with nine different energy systems in your body:

1. Meridians - Energy highways that run throughout your body
2. Chakras - Spinning energy centers at different points
3. Aura - The energy field that surrounds your body
4. Radiant Circuits - Network of hyperlinks that connect different systems
5. Triple Warmer - Your body's stress response system
6. The Electrics - Your body's electrical grid
7. The Five Elements - Five different energy rhythms
8. Celtic Weave - Energy that weaves through everything
9. The Basic Grid - Your body's foundational energy structure

Thinking with energy medicine: 

If you have digestive problems, it could be related to your stomach meridian, your third chakra, your electrics, or your Celtic weave. A energy practitioner figures out which "domino" to tip first for the best results or begin a process of healing.

What Does the Research Say?

While research specifically on Eden Energy Medicine is still emerging, related energy therapies have solid research backing:

Acupuncture: 

Good evidence for treating pain, insomnia, IBS, high blood pressure, and nausea

Healing Touch: 

Used by over 30,000 nurses; reduces pain and anxiety, boosts immunity

Reiki: 

Offered in 60+ U.S. hospitals; helps with pain, blood pressure, and quality of life

Energy Psychology:

Over 120 studies show benefits for anxiety, depression, and PTSD

Laboratory Findings:

• Energy healing sessions create measurable changes in electromagnetic fields
• Healers can affect pH levels in water and plant growth
• Some practitioners can influence random number generators and other physical devices

How Energy Medicine Works with Regular Healthcare

• Use Together, Not Instead: Energy work complements medical care, doesn't replace it
• Track Your Progress: Use regular measures like pain scales and sleep quality
• Stay Safe: Always tell your doctor about energy treatments, especially with serious conditions
• Find Qualified Practitioners: Look for proper training and willingness to work with your healthcare team

Simple Self-Care Techniques to Try

• Better Breathing: Slow, deep breathing through your nose (about 6 breaths per minute) helps your nervous system relax
• Gentle Touch: Light pressure or tapping on stress points can reduce tension
• Grounding: Walking barefoot on grass or dirt (where it's safe) can help balance your energy
• Positive Focus: Spend a few minutes daily on gratitude or setting positive intentions

Things to Remember

• Results Vary: Some energy medicine techniques have strong research support, others are still being studied
• Science is Catching Up: We don't fully understand how subtle energies work, but research is ongoing
• Your Experience Matters: Track what works for you and communicate with your healthcare team
• Safety First: Energy medicine is generally very safe, but always inform your doctors about what you're trying

Common Questions

Is energy medicine scientifically proven? Some forms (like acupuncture) have strong research support. Others show promise but need more high-quality studies.

Is it safe with my current medical treatment? Usually yes, when used as a complement. Always tell your healthcare team what you're doing.

How do I find a good practitioner? Look for proper training, clear scope of practice, good communication, and willingness to coordinate with your medical team.

Bottom Line

Your body runs on energy—from the electrical signals in your nerves to the fields around your organs. Energy medicine works to optimize these natural energy patterns. While we're still learning exactly how it all works, the growing research and millions of people who've found relief suggest there's real value in this approach.

Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, stress, or just want to feel your best, energy medicine offers gentle, non-invasive tools that can work alongside conventional healthcare to support your overall well-being.
