This blog continues with  a short ‘why and how’ energy medicine can be applied by everyone,

The good thing about applied energy medicine, is that the body already knows about the techniques that are accessible 24 hours a day.

Rejuvenation with the help of simple energycises. 

Our present day society feeds an incredible amount of information every day. This impacts the nervous system, harbouring the ‘fight, flight or freeze’ response in the reptillian brain since the very beginnings of human time on earth. During the Hunter and Gatherer days, this system served a survival mechanism.  Their moments of stress however were relatively short lived. Every burst of adrenaline used for hunting or defence had a recovery program waiting  at the campftire, exchanging experiences and rebuilding energy reserves.

Even up to 200 years ago, life supplied less interference with the average life traveller only challenged by local misgivings rather than global.
Only 50 years ago cell phones were yet to be invented and workers spending full days behind computerscreens were yet to be born.
As it is now, being available 24 hours a day, keeping up with the most profitable buys, latest trends and international breaking news disasters (because bad news pays off),  has become so normal, it goes unnoticed how the human nervous systeem is switched on 24/7; manipulated by governments, marketeers and trendsetters to enhance an overheated economy (which a larger percentage of the world population suffers for)

Take responsibility and rejuvenate

The infamous ‘flight fight or freeze’ response is often seen as the culprit of stress. Less known is that the same vagus nerve that is at the center of this ancient way of dealing with life,  also has a recovery mode.

Both the individual  and group ‘energy counseling’ clinics at the Festival of September 9th introduce simple energy medicine techniques to switch from ‘flight, fight’ to recovery mode, such as:

  • Therapeutic touch and transmission of energy
  •  How to ground, how to breath and how to be present in simple and easy ways
  • ‘Tapping and Tracing.  Simple energy techniques with which to regulate and enhance the Yin and Yang energy flow.
  •  Practical information about the rejuvenation capacity of the nervous system and how to invite this into your life.
