Energy Medicine Techniques for Pain Relief by Donna Eden

The Five-Minute Daily Energy Routine

the Three Thumps the Cross Crawl the Wayne Cook Posture the Crown Pull the Lymphatic Massage the Zip-up the Hook-up

The Techniques: These simple techniques can benefit nearly anyone living in the stress-producing, polluted, nature-alien, energy-scrambling environments that mark our technological progress. I suggest you combine these methods into a “five-minute daily energy routine,” and that you use it every day. The Daily Routine builds positive habits into your energy field. The techniques are simple yet potent, and they are cumulative.

}1. Use several fingers or knuckles to tap the spots shown in the pictures. Tap vigorously on each set of spots.

Focus on breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth during all the tapping. 2. To locate K-27 points place your fingers on your collarbone and move them inward towards the U-shaped

notch at the top of your breastbone. Move your fingers to the bottom of the U and then move down and out about an inch to find the spots. Tap or massage for ten to fifteen seconds.

3. Place the fingers of either or both hands in the center of your sternum at the thymus gland. Tap there for fifteen to twenty seconds with your fingers or your knuckles.

4. Tap the Neurolymphatic Spleen points, beneath the breasts and down one rib, for fifteen seconds. Alternately, tap the Spleen acupuncture points, located on the side of the body about four inches down from the arm pits for fifteen seconds If either set is more tender use these points in the future

1. While standing, seated or lying down, lift your right arm and left leg simultaneously. 2. As you let them down, raise your left arm and right leg. 3. Repeat, this time exaggerating the lift of your leg and the swing of your arm across the

midline to the opposite side of your body. 4. If you can, twist so that your elbow touches your opposite knee. 5. If you are unable to do this for any reason lift one knee and touch it with the opposite hand

rather than your elbow. Then lift the other knee and touch it with the other hand. 6. Continue this exaggerated march for at least a minute, again breathing in deeply.

Boosts and restores energy, increases strength and vitality, and strengthens the immune system. The Three Thumps

The Cross Crawl Balances and harmonizes energy, improves coordination, and clears thinking.

If doing the Cross Crawl tires you or leaves you feeling uncoordinated, do the Homolateral Crossover Repatterning described on the next page.

The Homolateral Crossover1. Begin with the Three Thumps, breathing deeply. 2. Do Connecting Heaven and Earth or the Wayne Cook Posture. 3. March in place, lifting your right arm with your right leg, and then your left arm with your left leg. Breathe

deeply throughout the entire exercise. 4. You can adapt these instructions for sitting or lying down. If you are too ill or weak to move your limbs

another person can lift them for you. Do not strain yourself. Straining sends your energies back into homolateral, so make it easy on yourself and rest whenever necessary.

5. After about twelve lifts of your arms and legs in this homolateral pattern, stop and change the pattern to a Cross Crawl - lifting the opposite arm and leg - again for about twelve lifts. If it is difficult to coordinate a Cross Crawl, you can touch your right hand to your left knee and your left hand to your right knee as you step.

6. Repeat the pattern twice more - twelve homolateral movements, then twelve Cross Crawls. Anchor it in by adding twelve additional Cross Crawls.

7. End with the Three Thumps.

The Wayne Cook Focuses your mind. Allows you to untangle inner chaos, see with better perspective, think more clearly, and learn more proficiently.

1. Sit with your spine straight. Place your left foot over your right knee. Hold your left ankle with your right hand and the bottom of your left foot with your left hand.

2. Breathe in slowly through your nose, letting the breath lift your body, while stretching your leg toward you. Exhale slowly through your mouth, relaxing your body. Repeat four or five times.

3. Switch to the other foot and repeat this entire process. 4. Uncross your legs and “steeple” your fingertips, resting

your thumbs just above the bridge of your nose. Breathe slowly in through your nose and out through your mouth three or four times. On exhale, separate your thumb slowly stretching your skin on your forehead. Slowly bring your hands down in front of you. Surrender to your breathing.

The Crown Pull Relieves mental congestion and headaches, clears and refreshes the mind, sharpens memory, and opens the Crown chakra to higher inspiration

2. Place your thumbs at your temples and your fingertips resting at the middle of your forehead.

3. Slowly, with pressure, pull your fingers apart to the hairline stretching the skin above your eyebrows.

4. Place your fingers at the hairline and repeat the stretch.

5. Repeat this pattern starting at the top, center and back of your head. Continue all the way back and down until you reach the base of your neck. Use pressure as you pull.

1. Move down to your shoulders and push your fingers in and hold. Then pull across your shoulders towards the front. Hold your hands there until it feels right, then release and drop your hands/arms.

The Neurolymphatic Massage Energizes, sends toxins to your body’s waste removal system. Clears stagnant energies from the body.

1. Massage the points shown in this figure using firm pressure while moving the skin up and down or with a circular motion.

2. Massage each point for about five seconds. Alternate each day so that you get through all of the points every few days.

3. Work tender points for several extra seconds. The tenderness may not go away immediately, but you are clearing the congestion.

4. Neurolymphatic massage is great to do on a daily basis. You will feel a difference.

5. One important note: Neurolymphatic massage helps clear toxins. If you have a lot of toxins in your system you may experience some nausea from this technique as the toxins are released from your bloodstream into the system. This is not harmful, but you may want to proceed more slowly in future sessions.

The Zip-up Boosts confidence, clears your thoughts, and protects you from negative energies that may be around you.

1. Place your hand at the bottom end of the Central meridian at your pubic bone.

2. Take a deep breath in as you move your hands, slowly and deliberately, straight up the center of your body to your lower lip.

3. Continue upward, bringing your hands past your lips and exuberantly raising them into the sky. Circle your arms back to your pelvis.

4. Repeat three times. 5. Zip-up this meridian as often as you like.

The Hook-up Gets Radiant Circuits moving, strengthens auric field, and leaves you feeling whole again. Calms and helps you feel connected.

1. Place the middle finger of one hand on the “third eye” (between the eyebrows above the bridge of the nose) and the middle finger of the other hand in the navel.

2. Gently press each finger into the skin and pull it upwards. Hold for twelve to thirty seconds.

3. You can hold it longer if you like. 4. Often you will experience a deep sigh and/or yawn. This shows your

energies have hooked up.

Through years of practice we have designed this “Five-Minute Daily Energy Routine” that combines the most potent techniques we know that are able to help the greatest number of people stimulate each of the vital energy systems of the body and bring them into harmony and balance.

Three More Important Exercises Connecting Heaven and Earth

The Celtic Weave

Heaven Rushing In

Opens the meridians, expels toxic energies, and stimulates fresh energy to flow through the joints.

1. Start with your hands on your thighs, fingers spread. 2. Inhale through your nose, circle your arms out, and bring

your hands together in prayer position. Exhale through your mouth.

3. Inhaling through your nose, stretch one arm up and one down, pushing with your palms. Hold, exhale through your mouth, and return to the prayer position. Repeat switching arms. Do this twice for each arm.

4. Drop your arms down, fold your body forward at the waist, and relax with your knees slightly bent. Take two deep breaths before slowly returning to a standing position.

Provides patterning that balances and strengthens your energy systems.

1. Stand tall, hands on thighs. Breathe deeply, in through the nose and out through the mouth throughout. 2. Rub hands together, shake them off, face palms, and try to feel the energy between them. Rub and

shake again, place palms close to ears and take a deep breath. 3. Inhale and bring your elbows together. Exhale, cross your arms and swing them out to the side. 4. Cross and swing them out again. Bend forward, repeat and cross arms over upper legs. 5. Swing out again, in front of ankles. Bend knees, turn palms forward, scoop up energy, stand, and pour

that energy all over your body. 1 2 3 4 5

2. Take a deep breath in, open your arms wide, and bring them into a prayer position in front of your chest. Exhale.

3. With another deep breath, open your arms wide, lift them and look to the heavens. Reach toward heaven as heaven reaches back to you. You may feel a tingle, a buzz, or heat in your hands. You are touching heaven with your hands, and you are inviting healing energies from the cosmos.

4. Scoop this energy into your arms and bring your hands into the middle of your chest. There is a vortex here called Heaven Rushing In, and “heaven” rushes into your heart with healing, with a glimpse of your true nature, and with a peek into who you are in the larger plan. Even when you do not receive guidance or inspiration, know that they will unfold in their perfect time.

5. If there is a specific area in your body that needs healing, place your charged hands over that area and let the energies stream in.

1. Stand tall. Take a moment to ground yourself by spreading your fingers on your thighs, breathing deeply, feeling your feet on the ground and being conscious of your connection to the Earth as the energy pours out of your fingers, down your thighs, and into the ground. You are preparing yourself to make a sacred connection.

Puts you in touch with the sacred dimension of your life, infuses you with the knowledge that you are not alone, and gives you the odd comfort of realizing that all you see is only a glimpse of a larger picture.

Zone Tapping. Zone Tapping is based on foot reflexology, which maps the body into zones. Zone Tapping is most useful for localized pain. It can be used for an open or closed wound as you tap points based on the zone in which your pain resides rather than on the area of the pain itself.

Zone Tapping for Pain

Historical Tidbits about Zone Therapy In 1582, a therapy based on reflex zones was described by Drs. Adams and Bell in Leipzig, Germany. This is considered the beginning of reflexology and zone therapy. The Cherokee Indians, however, were using similar methods for perhaps centuries, first described in writing in 1820. Cherokees in North Carolina used pressure therapy on the feet with an understanding of the reflex zones.

Yin Zones Inside

and Front

Yang Zones

Outside and Back

On the FRONT Pain Above = Tap INSIDE Wrist Pain Below = Tap INSIDE Ankle

On the BACK Pain Above = Tap OUTSIDE Wrist Pain Below = Tap OUTSIDE Ankle


2011


The zones are on both the front and back of the body. The front zones, on the front of the body and insides of the limbs, are on the softer parts and are the yin zones. They include the front trunk of the body, the bottoms of the feet, the palms of the hands, the insides of the arms and legs, the front of the neck, and the face. The back zones are the more rough-skinned areas and are called the yang zones. They are on the back and outsides of the limbs, including the back trunk of the body, the tops of the feet, the backs of the hands, the outsides of the arms and legs, the back of the neck, and the back of the head.

1. Locate on the diagram which zone the pain seems to be on and note its number.

2. Find the point on the diagrams of the wrist or ankle that corresponds with the pain.

A. If the pain is above the waist, tap the WRIST. If the pain is on the front, tap the INSIDE of the wrist; if the pain is on the back, tap the OUTSIDE of the wrist.

B. If the pain is below the waist, tap the ANKLE. If it is on the front, tap the INSIDE of the ankle; if it is on the back, tap the OUTSIDE of the ankle.

IN SUMMARY:

FRONT BACK ABOVE WAIST = inside wrist ABOVE WAIST = outside wrist BELOW WAIST = inside ankle BELOW WAIST = outside ankle

Outside of wrist Inside of wrist Inside of ankle Outside of ankle


2011


Example: If you had a pain on the right front in Zone 3, below the waist, you would tap A3 (ankle on Zone 3) on the right side of the body.

To tap: Tap for 10 seconds on the point corresponding to the pain zone. Tap on the same side of the body that the pain is located. Then stop tapping for 10 seconds. Then tap again continuously for a minute or more. If after 10 minutes the pain has mostly but not completely disappeared, tap the same zone on the opposite side of the body. Note: You can energy test to be certain you are on the right point (although no harm is caused if you tap the wrong point). Touch each point of the inside of the ankle, for instance, and test. The person will test weak on the point that needs to be tapped and strong on the other Zone points.

Meridian-Based Pain Techniques Additional approaches to working with pain are based on an understanding of the meridian system. These include 1) �“pain chasing�” 2) sedating the meridian involved with the pain, and 3) locating the meridian involved with the pain based on the muscles affected by the pain. 1. Pain Chasing If your client has chronic pain and the pain falls along a meridian line, pain chasing can be very beneficial. In pain chasing, you push the pain along the meridian pathway and out one end of the meridian, something like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube.

1. Identify the meridian the pain is on (check meridian charts). 2. Tap the ends of the meridian to stimulate its energies. 3. Place a finger of one hand at the center of the pain, which will be on the

meridian. 4. Place a finger of your other hand on the last point of the meridian that is

located on the torso or head (this might be the meridian�’s beginning point or end point).

5. Press both fingers on these points hard enough to make a firm contact. 6. Keeping the finger on the pain steady, move the other finger half an inch down

along the meridian line (toward the pain) and press. If there is no pain, move it another half inch and press. Continue until you reach a point that is tender. Pain on one point of a meridian is generally matched by pain on another point of pain on the meridian.

7. Once you've found another painful point, gently hold that point along with the original pain point.

8. After a couple of minutes, check both points by pushing in firmly to see if the pain is still there. The pain on one of the points usually will have dissipated. This occurs because you are opening a channel for blocked energy to flow.

9. Using the finger from the point that no longer hurts (keep contact) continue inching down the meridian, while keeping the other finger on the point that hurts. Continue moving until you find a second point that is painful and repeat steps 7 and 8.

10. Eventually, one finger will get to the end of the meridian or the fingers will be side by side. If they are side by side, move the fingers from the point that doesn't hurt a finger's width toward the end of the meridian.

11. When one finger gets to the end of the meridian, "chase it" with the other finger, a finger's width at a time.

12. Continue until you have chased the pain off the end of the meridian.

Notes:

1. If the energy gets "stuck,�” hold the Acupressure sedating points for a short amount of time, not more than about 30 seconds.

2. You can do the Pain Chasing technique to open up the flow of the meridian even when there is no pain.

2. Sedating the Meridian Involved with the Pain

Pain is often due to stale or excess energy being trapped in a meridian.

Holding sedating points frees trapped energy and makes room for healing energies to enter the area. The procedure can be done on yourself or by a partner. It can be used for open or closed wounds.

The Strengthening and Sedating charts are organized by the meridian�’s Rhythm (or Element).

Holding the �“strengthening points�” brings energy to a meridian.

Holding the �“sedating points�” releases excess energy.

Hold the points lightly but firmly.


2011


Hold the first set for two to three minutes.

Hold the second set for one-and-one-half to two minutes.

Note: If the pain occurs in an area of the body that is very weak, you may decide not to sedate the meridian. You might, in fact, strengthen the meridian (same basic instructions as above for sedating a meridian, except using the strengthening instead of sedating points shown on the charts).

If, however, starting to strengthen the meridian increases the pain or causes any discomfort, stop immediately. Another alternative is to strengthen the meridian whose �“high tide�” is 12 hours away from that of the meridian you wish to sedate (its opposite on the Meridian Flow Wheel). This will have the effect of gently sedating the meridian involved with the pain.

Meridian Strengthening and Sedating Points

Place your fingers on the “1st” set of points and hold them for two to three minutes. Then place your fingers on the “2nd” set of points and hold these for about two minutes.

What is Energy Medicine?

Energy medicine is a simple practice that works with energy as a vital, living, moving force that is at the foundation of our well-being. In energy medicine, you heal the body by activating its natural healing energies and also by restoring energies that have become weak, disturbed, or out of balance. Energy medicine is both a complement to other approaches to health care and a complete system for personal development. Energy medicine draws upon ancient healing and spiritual practices (e.g., acupuncture, qi gong, yoga, and shamanism), combines them with contemporary scientific understanding, and applies them in thoroughly modern ways. Its applications extend far beyond the health care setting, into business, education, government, spiritual development, and family life - everywhere that people wish to be more effective, vital, and creative. It can be self-applied or administered by a trained practitioner. It can address physical illness and emotional or mental disorders, and is also used to promote high-level wellness, peak performance, and joyful living.
