Eden Method: The gift that keeps giving

Words ELIZABETH CARUANA

Your energies are as unique as a snowflake! They are in constant flux, interacting with others around you, your environment, and responding to your thoughts and intentions.

As an Eden Method Advanced Practitioner, I work with nine energy systems. Some may be familiar to you, such as chakras, aura and meridians. Others are not so well known, such as electrics, Celtic weave, basic grid, triple warmer, radiant circuits and five rhythms.

When I offer classes, students are invited to unwrap the gifts of this healing modality in a safe and nurturing environment. I have always thought of this modality as the ‘gift that keeps giving’ because my goal as a practitioner and teacher is to empower clients and students with knowledge about their energy systems and teach them simple, easy-to-learn techniques to support their energies and wellbeing daily. The giving and receiving is truly life-giving, as they now have these tools to support them for life!

Clients and students alike have experienced the empowerment that comes from being able to look into their Eden Method ‘toolkit’ and apply one or two techniques in the moment to help themselves or a loved one. To witness this empowerment is truly a gift on so many levels, and evokes a deep sense of gratitude for this work.

Many people, especially women, often give rather than receive as the primary caregivers for their family. Self-care is not selfish as we have more to offer others when we take care of ourselves first.

I would like to share three simple techniques from Donna Eden’s work to help engage your radiant circuits, which are pathways to joy and help instil strength, resilience, healing and vitality in the body:

• Trace nine hearts over your body: three at your face, three over your trunk, and three over your legs. Smile as you breathe in deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth. You can also do this technique over your child after tucking them into bed as a beautiful night-time ritual.

• Anything that helps make space in the body, such as stretching or yoga.

• Dance to figure eights. Your energies are filled with figure-eight patterns and dancing while moving your hands and hips in figure-eight movements supports and enhances your energies and activates your radiant circuits. Put on your favourite music and have fun with it – laughing naturally activates these circuits!

Please take time this month to nurture the gift that you are, and enjoy these simple techniques from the empowering, healing, modality that is the Eden Method.

Blessings, Elizabeth.
