DONNA EDEN On Working With Energy F
or more than four decades, Donna Eden has been teaching people to direct their energies for health and
happiness, developing a system that has come to be known as “Eden Energy Medi- cine” (EEM). EEM is a simple practice that works with energy as a vital, living, moving force at the foundation of well-being. Since childhood, Eden has been able to clairvoy- antly “see” the flow of energy in the body and has helped hun- dreds of thousands of people live more vitally by activating this natural healing ability, restoring ener- gies that have become weak, disturbed, or out of balance. EEM addresses physical ill- ness, emotional and mental disorders, and promotes high-level wellness, peak per- formance, and joyful living. Some 1,400 practitioners are certified in EEM, teach- ing classes and providing healing services

DE: I had a series of health chal- lenges as a child, including con- tracting tubercu- lous when I was three and multiple sclerosis in my teens. Te MS grew worse until my organs were breaking down. I had a heart attack when I was 27 and
was told by my late 20s by several doctors that there was nothing more they could do to keep the illness from progressing, so I needed to get my affairs in order. But
I had two daughters by then and I was determined not to leave them. I had the good fortune of being able to figure out how to work with the energies in my body to turn my M.S. around. It took a few years of experimentation and dogged de- termination, but in the process, I learned a great deall about how to work with the body as an energy system. I then became impassioned to bring what I had learned to others suffering with difficult health challenges. Tat is how my work began.
NA: What is the difference between EEM and other energy healing modalities like reiki?
DE: While it had never occurred to me to use it in a healing context until my own do-or-die health crisis, I have always had the ability to see the energies that sur- round and move through the body. My mother had that ability, and it seemed quite normal and natural to me. It was only aſter I was working with other people in a healing context that I began to study other healing systems and I learned that the energies that move up and down the body were called “meridians” by ancient Chinese physicians. Te circles of energies that spiral over various parts of the body were called “chakras” in age-old Vedic
