Wellness & Energy Medicine

Energy Medicine is Energy Healing which promotes physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual well-being.  Combining scientific knowledge and intuitive understanding of the energies of the physical and energetic bodies, the Energy Medicine practitioner applies energy to the body’s energy systems to clear, create balance, restore and raise the vibration of the body’s energy fields. 

Everything is Energy. Medicine is used to heal and prevent disease. Energy Medicine uses energy to create balance that allows for healing.  

Imbalance and illness occur, whether it be mental, emotional or physical, when we repress or resist our emotions creating stagnation in one or more of our energy systems. Prolonged energy imbalances can lead to dis-ease.  We all have some level of unresolved issues from this lifetime or other lifetimes.   The more compromised the energy fields of the body become the weaker our fields are, leaving us vulnerable to experience more of what caused the stagnation initially. When we have weaker energetic boundaries, we are more vulnerable to a wide variety of external influences such as other people emotions, energy vampires and narcissistic personalities, as well as dark energies that only further perpetuate our emotional and psychological issues.  Imbalances in the energy field can also cause repeated negative patterns in behavior and social engagement such as inability to manage stress, lost jobs or lack of success, feeling stuck, or moving from one bad relationship after another. 

When the source of the illness is known whether it be an external influence, false beliefs about us, judgements or resentment of others, or ancestral issues, then one can better deal with the issues and learn the lessons we are here to learn for our spiritual evolution and well-being. 

Clearing and Balancing the Energy systems of our body and our emotions, heals the body, the mind and the soul. When we have clear and balanced systems, we have a clearer and greater connection to our Divine Source and to the joyful and loving life we all desire.  We then have greater access to our Divine purpose and our spiritual gifts.

"Healing comes from taking responsibility: to realize that it is you - and no one else - that creates your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions."

Do you have Trapped Emotions? 

Do you feel like your past is negatively influencing your current experiences? Do you feel triggered, guarded, blocked, emotions that are overwhelming or inappropriate, running the same pattern of behavior over and over again, while not quite feeling free to be yourself? These and many others can be the effects of trapped emotions in our bodies. 

What is a Trapped Emotion? 

Trapped emotions (aka emotional baggage) are emotions trapped in the body from a past experience that we couldn’t fully process at the time, and we unknowingly saved them to be processed at a later time by our subconscious mind. We bury those feelings or put them behind us.   

What happens when we have trapped emotions? 

Emotions are energy and unless those trapped emotions are processed and released from the body, they can in time, cause energetic imbalances in your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health.  

Symptoms of trapped emotions can show up in a variety of different ways, such as:

· Illness and disease 

· Premature aging and slower healing time 

· Fatigue 

· Pain and discomfort  

· Breakdown of organs, glands, joints, tissues  

· Low self-esteem 

· Feeling closed off from others  

· Blocked from creative or artistic endeavors 

· Blocked from financial gain or abundance 

· And various other symptoms  

Trapped emotions puts the body under stress all the time. 

What happens when we Release Imbalances? 

When we remove the imbalances that are interfering with the body’s own ability to heal itself, the body’s own natural healing ability returns. We remove the imbalance, and the body can heal.  The Emotion Code gives you a fast, reliable and easy way to remove the most common type of imbalance: trapped emotions. 

What is the Emotion Code? 

The Emotion Code System of releasing Trapped Emotions was created by Dr Bradley Nelson (D.C. ret) after more than 20 years as a holistic chiropractor and teacher. The Emotion Code is designed to help alleviate physical discomfort, ease emotional wounds, and restore love to relationships. The Emotion Code works for both humans and animals. 

With the Emotion Code we are not deleting or altering memories, rather we are working to remove the emotional charge of those memories. We can still remember the memory and how we felt, without really feeling it again. As a result, your subconscious mind may bring up painful memories less often because it doesn’t need to bring attention to it anymore now that the emotional charge has been removed. 

Possible positive outcomes after just one Emotion Code session:

· Ease physical discomfort: you may get relief from physical issues, and potentially remove their causes 

· Love and relationships: you can remove barriers to love and increase your ability to connect to yourself and others 

· Create more success:  you may open the door to prosperity and experience more abundance 

· Healing generations: it is possible that as you heal yourself, you are able to heal the past and future generations 

Releasing Trapped Emotions has the potential to create more balance physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, and allow you to live a better, healthier and happier life.  

How many trapped emotions does a person have? 

It is normal for children to have only a few trapped emotions. Adults may have anywhere from 100 to 1000 or more, depending on how well they were able to deal with their life’s experiences.  Each trapped emotion is unique. No two emotions are the same, each is packed with its own frequency, who was involved, the event, story etc. Just like snowflakes and moments in time, each is unique. 

What to expect from an Emotion Code session to remove Trapped Emotions:

What if you knew it was possible to release old emotional baggage, without having to discuss the details of the past? 

As a Certified Emotion Code Practitioner, Barbara will work with your subconscious mind, ask simple yes/no questions to identify the trapped emotions that are affecting you, and then use energy to release that emotion from your body and energy field.  There is no need to discuss details or relive painful memories.  We only need to identify the emotion and then release it.  We can only experience so many emotions at once, therefore we can only release so many emotions in one session. Each trapped emotion wants/needs its moment of recognition before it can be released from the body. We need to acknowledge each emotion to be able to process it and let it go. We release trapped emotions one at a time. One session usually includes the release of 5-10 trapped emotions.  

You will find after doing a session to release trapped emotions that the symptoms get a lot better or may even go away completely. If the symptoms come back after a while, that is just more communication from the body that needs to be listened to. It’s the body’s way of saying, that worked, but there is more that needs to be cleared. 

Is it time to get rid of your emotional baggage?

Are You Feeling Stuck?

Chronic issues are an indication that the healing process is stalled, stuck or not working properly. When the imbalances responsible for this stagnation are released, the body will immediately begin healing. 

The Body Code™ is a patented, revolutionary energy balancing system, intended to help uncover the root causes of discomfort, sickness and suffering in the body and spirit, while providing the opportunity to correct or release them energetically.

What is an imbalance? 

An imbalance is a distortion within the energy systems of the body.

Common imbalances in the body include: 

· Trapped emotions

· Negative thoughts and associations

· Toxins

· Pathogens

· Nutritional deficiencies

· Negative energetic influences 

· And more

What are the effects of imbalances? 

The effects of imbalances happen on all dimensions: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. When imbalances persist in the body and mind, symptoms occur, become chronic, organ/gland dysfunction can occur, leading to a disease and illness. 

What are symptoms? 

A symptom is a signal from the body indicating that something is out of balance, and it needs help. Think of it as a “check engine light” that is initiated by an imbalance in the body. Symptoms are signals of imbalances. A system under pressure will fail at its weakest link. 

What happens when we Release Imbalances? 

When we remove the imbalances that are interfering with the body’s own ability to heal itself, the body’s own natural healing ability returns. We remove the imbalance, and the body can heal. 

Healing depends on: 

The person’s conscious readiness and willingness to heal. Willingness to take responsibility for their own health and what is going on. There is no substitute for the desire to get better. All healing is innate to the body. Healing can be influenced and helped but does not originate from outside the body. 

The Healing Process: 

The Body Code helps to balance the overall state of the body, improving health in all dimensions. This can happen rapidly, and a person may experience some ups and downs while this occurs. Ups and downs are normal and often necessary as your body adjusts to the changes in energy. (Always remember to seek proper medical advice when needed)

Time is often required for complete healing to occur. The amount of time needed depends on the overall imbalance in the body. Sometimes during the healing process, old injuries that didn’t quite heal properly in the past, might flare up and go through the process along with the other issues that are being cleared. If something still needs to be healed, it could bubble up to be healed while working on other things. 

It doesn’t end with physical wellness. The Body Code was designed not just to bring relief to physical conditions. The possibility for unlimited health and happiness is here. 

· By identifying and releasing underlying energetic imbalances, you may feel connected to your true self. 

· You may clear emotional baggage to feel happier and more at peace than ever before. 

· Strengthen relationships and find love: when you release the negative energy of past emotional experiences related to love, relationships, and family ties, you may open your heart to the possibility of true and lasting love of all kinds. 

· Pave the way for freedom and creativity: unleash your creativity and attain higher levels of success by freeing yourself of limiting beliefs, patterns of failure, and self-sabotage that may be hiding in your body as energetic imbalances. 

· Shatter blocks to wealth and success: unlock your potential wealth and abundance by releasing the imbalances that may be causing money blocks and other limitations that could hold you back from your true potential. 

The Subconscious Mind Knows All 

The human being is a beautifully complex system with many components interacting and the subconscious mind knows about all of them. The subconscious mind controls identifying, classifying and recognizing something as an imbalance and can tell us what is standing in our way and preventing healing from happening. The subconscious mind has all the answers. Those answers can be the key to achieving optimum wellness. 

What to expect from a Body Code session:

As a Certified Body code Practictioner, Barbara will work with your subconscious mind, ask simple yes/no questions to identify the imbalances that are negatively affecting you, and then use energy to release them from your body and energy field. 

Every imbalance is unique with its own unique energetic frequency and vibration. Each has its own story. Because each imbalance is unique, they must be identified and released individually. Everything is energy and every imbalance has the potential to be cleared energetically. 

Bodies can only process so much energy at once and sessions are limited to 40 minutes. More releases equal more healing. 

After doing a Body Code session to release imbalances that the symptoms get a lot better or may even go away completely. If the symptoms come back after a while, that is just more communication from the body that needs to be listened to. It’s the body’s way of saying, that worked, but there is more that needs to be cleared.

HAVENING TECHNIQUES®
BETTER LIVING THROUGH NEUROSCIENCE

What is Havening?

Havening Techniques is a psychosensory technique that uses simple touch to permanently eliminate unwanted feelings from distressing memories and events.  This modality is extremely useful for promoting self-growth, as it can be used to plant positive concepts within the brain.  The Havening Techniques engages our inherent biological system to permanently heal, strengthen and empower our minds and bodies. The Havening Techniques have been developed by Ronald A. Ruden M.D., Ph.D. and his brother Steven J. Ruden, D.D.S., ICF/ACC.

The Havening Techniques are powerful tools that can be used to alleviate the consequences of traumatic or stressful events.

Havening or Delta Techniques™ is a method which is designed to change the brain to de-traumatize the memory and remove its negative effects from both our psyche and body.

The Havening Techniques are healing modalities designed to help individuals overcome problems that are the consequence of traumatic or stressful encoding. They belong to a larger group of methods called psychosensory therapies, which use sensory input to alter thought, mood and behavior. The system is comprised of protocols and methods that use touch as a therapeutic tool we call Havening Touch®. This touch generates a delta wave in the brain and as a consequence we also refer to Havening Techniques as Delta Techniques™. Havening can be used within a psycho-therapeutic setting with professional mental health-care clinicians who have been fully trained and certified in the Havening Techniques. These techniques can also be used by non-licensed and /or allied health care professionals as a protocol for coaching, wellness and stress reduction.

Is Havening Permanent?

It’s not possible to provide any guarantees but once Havening is successful it has shown to be permanent in most cases. This is because Havening is believed to alter the biological structure of the brain. The return of symptoms implies either the traumatic core has not yet been found or the problem has been encoded in a different way. In particular, addictive and obsessive/compulsive behaviors, certain pain syndromes and vasovagal (e.g. Fainting) issues often need reinforcement or cannot be treated with the Havening Techniques at the present time. No therapy works for all problems, but Havening is demonstrating that it’s possible to successfully treat disorders that have not been resolved by western medicine. Although the Havening Techniques appear to have promising emotional, mental, and physical health benefits, they have yet to be fully researched by the Western academic, medical, and psychological communities and, therefore may be considered experimental. The Havening Techniques are self-regulated and they are considered alternative or complementary healing methods in the United States.

These techniques were inspired by a conversation in 2001 that turned into a book “When the Past is Always Present” and became the Havening Techniques, with the first official training occurring in May 2013, London. Now we have grown and spread to all corners of the world, with practitioners in Alaska to New Zealand and hundreds in between.

What is an Integrative Medicine Health Coach? 

An integrative Medicine Health Coach promotes wellness by getting to the root causes of imbalances and providing guidance to correct those imbalances. The root causes can be identified by looking at your health history, your lifestyle and through laboratory testing.  An Integrative Medicine Health Coach partners with you to meet your health and wellness goals by re-balancing the root problems that are causing you issues. Personalized recommendations are provided to help you achieve your goals that may include lifestyle changes, exercise, stress reduction techniques, nutritional guidance, detoxification programs, botanicals and nutritional supplements.  

How is an Integrative Medicine Health Coach different from a normal Health Coach?

Integrative Medicine Health Coaches use Functional Medicine laboratory testing to determine exactly what is going on with your body in regards to how well you manage stress by looking at your cortisol levels produced by the adrenal glands, hormone levels, any food sensitivities you are currently dealing with, and any out of balance gut issues that can include bacterial overgrowth, yeast infections or pathogens. There is no guessing. The lab tests show what is going on and recommendations are based on those results.    

What are the factors that influence your health? 

Environmental: The air you breathe, the water you drink, the diet you eat, the quality of food available to you, your level of physical activity, exposure to toxins, and chronic stress or traumas you have and are experiencing all affect your health. 

Mind-Body-Heart-Spirit: Psychological, spiritual, social factors, and relationships all can have a profound influence on your health and well-being. Healing our emotional wounds can be the first step to physical health. Integrative Medicine sees your health in the context of you as a whole person, not just your physical symptoms. 

Genetics: Although individual genes may make you more susceptible to some diseases, your DNA may not have to be a negative influence for your life. Emerging research, in the field of epigenetics, shows that your genes may be influenced by everything in your environment, your lifestyle choices, as well as your experiences, your thoughts, attitudes and beliefs. That means it is possible to transform the way your genes express themselves by altering the way you live, what you eat and what you are exposed to. 

What you can expect when working with an Integrative Medicine Health Coach: 

· Recommendations for Functional Medicine laboratory testing based on your symptoms and health history. 

· Support to achieve overall wellness with individualized recommendations for healthy lifestyle changes, detoxification, diet and nutrition, supplementation, fitness, as well as emotional and mental support that are specific for you. 

· Support with weight imbalances, food cravings, sleep, energy improvement, stress management, digestive wellness and improved diet. 

· Education and information on how stress impacts our lives and the effects it has on our bodies, our emotions, digestion/elimination, and hormone levels. 

· Support from someone that listens to you and your health concerns with compassion and understanding

Take the steps to better health and wellness

There is no magic pill or quick fix to your health and healing can take time. Supplements alone will not completely rebalance your system, as they are only a part of the bigger picture of who you are. Dietary and lifestyle changes, detoxification, stress management, emotional and mental healing, as well as exercise, all play a role in optimizing your health. If you are willing to make a commitment to yourself and make the necessary changes, then you are ready to begin the journey to feeling better and maintaining lasting health and wellness.
