According to Donna Eden, a pioneer in the field of energy medicine: “The body wants to heal, and every cell carries extraordinary intelligence and fortitude.” She continued “Each person is unique”.

“Energy medicine is the art and science of fostering physical, psychological, and spiritual health and vitality. It combines a rational knowledge and intuitive understanding of the energies in the body and in the environment.”

” …It is a return to personal authority for health care, a return to the legacy of our ancestors in harmonizing with the forces of nature, and a return to practices that are natural, friendly, familiar to body, mind, and soul.”

Barbara Eden stresses the value of professional intervention but she insists: “I do not want to undercut my primary message and deep conviction that there is much you can do to care for yourself. Ultimately it is you who is responsible for your health, and the more you know and the more you do for yourself, the better your health will fare.”

Martha Beck, another favorite author of mine has much to say about Nature’s help in maintaining health in her book “Finding Your Way in a Wild New World”.
