Making Eden Energy Medicine Our Own

Energy in Harmony

Harvest by Jane Lesher

Energy in Harmony is the name I call my Energy Medicine business.  It is also my intention or mantra for how I am with myself and with others, in my everyday life and in my work. 

About 12 years ago I took a two-year Hakomi body-mind psychotherapy training.  We were introduced to the concept of “tracking” at the time.  Tracking in Hakomi terms means paying close attention to our own body and inner sense to notice any physical or emotional responses that come up in our interaction with a partner or in response to a verbal or physical contact.  Hakomi embraces the Buddhist practice of Mindfulness meditation, a part of the non-judgmental internal and relational exploration we practiced in class.

Standing in Love

One of my absolute favorite Eden Energy Medicine (“EEM”) techniques is standing in love.  The premise is simple.  When I stand in love those around me are positively impacted.  It’s relatively easy to execute and the effects are profound.  In fact I’m not really sure if this is actually a technique or more a reminder of how to live. 

I have always been careful when disciplining my children to remind them that while I don’t love a particular behavior I always love them.  One day when I was expressing these sentiments my oldest son pointed out that I sure didn’t look like I loved him right at that moment.  I assessed my scowling face and the tone of my voice and realized that he was absolutely right.  There was a huge incongruence between what I was saying and what I was screaming nonverbally.  Anger and frustration cannot be confused for love no matter what the words.  I thanked him for sharing this insight and decided to look at ways to work with this.
