You have the ability to activate your body’s natural healing potential.
That’s the empowering concept underlying the science and practice of energy medicine, which enables you to play an active role in your own healing by applying often simple solutions through modalities such as meridian clearing, Qi balancing, acupuncture, Ayurvedic medicine, shamanic practices, chakra work, Qigong, hands-on healing, and many others.
Instead of focusing on symptoms and treating those symptoms from an external perspective, as Western medicine does, energy medicine focuses on building and harmonizing your life force to address the root cause of disease and imbalance, thus healing you from the inside.
You can support and revitalize your whole being by harnessing the best of both Western medicine and energy medicine practices.
Energy medicine gives you a more holistic and self-empowering approach to healing — by not only addressing your body, mind, and spirit, but also by working with your emotions, past trauma, and even your relationships.
 That’s why we’re so excited about our third annual Energy Medicine & Healing Summit (April 22–26), hosted by Dondi Dahlin, an energy medicine consultant and bestselling author. Click here to watch Dondi’s video invitation to you.
The groundbreaking speakers in this global video gathering — including Donna Eden, Anodea Judith, Daisy Lee, Dr. Sue Morter, Gregg Braden, Jean Haner, Holly Tse, Wendy De Rosa, Amy Scher, and many others — will bring to light the curative and evolutionary powers of proven energy practices to create vibrant health for you and your family!
During The Energy Medicine & Healing Summit, you’ll discover how to take your health into your own hands (literally!) with today’s top energy medicine experts, health practitioners, and healers, who will guide you toward transforming your overall health from the inside out. To find out more and to register for this free summit, click here.
On other fronts, a new kind of feminine, spiritually based leadership is rising to transform the way we engage activism and politics! Our good friend and ally Marianne Williamson has taken the bold step of running for President and is offering profound new ways to see our evolution as a country.
This Wednesday, I'll moderate a dialogue with Marianne and our FAVORITE new leader, Mayor Heidi Harmon of San Luis Obispo. She's a climate-change activist/yoga teacher/divine feminine presence who won the race for mayor with a wholly new synthesis of deep authenticity, progressive policies, and grassroots engagement with heart. Featuring them both in one event promises to be an amazing inspiration! Register for this free video event here.
Finally, we’d love to hear your answer to the question, What energy medicine practice resonates with you the most, and why? To share your thoughts in our Facebook Page community, click here.
A healer's power stems not from any special ability, but from maintaining the courage and awareness to embody and express the universal healing power that every human being naturally possesses.
— Eric Micha'el Leventhal
A Personal Video Invitation to the April 22–26 Energy Medicine & Healing Summit From Your Host, Dondi Dahlin
Hello, I'm Dondi Dahlin, and I am the host of the third annual Energy Medicine & Healing Summit. This is such a phenomenal summit. We have 38 speakers, experts in the field of energy medicine who are going to be teaching you how to be empowered with more vitality, joy, and health.
One thing that's different this year is it's video. So you get to watch the speakers, watch these experts with their sage advice, and their exercises, and their techniques that you can use to bring more health into your life. What would that be like if you had healing in your own hands to be able to help yourself if you had a stomachache, or a headache, or lower back pain, or to help a loved one, maybe your spouse or your kids, with anxiety or fear or stress. That's what you will be learning in this summit.
And if you have been in the field of energy medicine, you're going to be tickled at the A-list speakers that we have. And if you're new to energy medicine, you'll want to get out your notebook because there's going to be so much information. And in fact, I have a list here of some of the speakers we have this year and their topics. And I just want to tell you about some of them because these are such phenomenal people that I want you to learn from.

Blind Faith
By Mike Veeck
 For the first seven months after she was diagnosed, I attempted to lose myself in my job, which marked my return to major league baseball after 20 years. But there was something missing. Baseball wasn’t as much fun as I remembered, and I wasn’t either. There was a sadness gnawing at my soul. And I couldn’t work hard enough to forget how afraid I was. So finally, in May, I gave up the ghost and resigned from the Devil Rays.
I had devoted my entire life to the pursuit of this silly game. One day you’re thinking, I’ve got a dream job. And a few days later, you’d trade anything, you’d do anything. When I finally returned to the big leagues, I was like, Yes, this is it! And then to have it reduced to rubble and ashes in such short order is humbling. And you struggle; you have to rebuild your vision of yourself through the eyes of this wonderful child.

The Seven Directions of the Medicine Wheel
By Heather Dane, a featured speaker in the 2019 Energy Medicine & Healing Summit
 The Medicine Wheel, or Sacred Hoop, is a Native American approach to energy healing that can be used to resolve post-traumatic stress, anxiety, grief, and health issues. The Medicine Wheel way of healing reconnects you to your intuition, nature, your ancestors, and the infinite circle of life. It guides you to walk your sacred path in balance and with love in your heart.
In Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Native American culture, we think about everything having a spirit — a voice, a meaning, and a power. We call this Orenda and it’s the basis of energy. When we use this energy properly and live a life in balance, we can cultivate a “good mind.”

How to Clear the Energy From Others to Make Room for Your Divine Self
Wendy De Rosa, a featured speaker in the 2019 Energy Medicine & Healing Summit
 Have you felt energetically overloaded lately? Or maybe you continuously sense and feel the thoughts, emotions, and even physical pain of others. If this sounds like you, know that you are not alone. As sensitive people, we feel and often pick up the energy around us.
Like most sensitives, you’ve probably learned how the constant push and pull of others’ energy can be overwhelming and exhausting. The good news is, being an empath is a gift, and consciousness is rising on the planet in a way that’s triggering your true self to come out from hiding and to emerge.

Which Jesus Do You Believe In?
By Philip Goldberg
First published in Elephant Journal
 Growing up in Brooklyn, long before it was “Hipsterville,” I was familiar with three kinds of Jesus. There was the one and only begotten son of God, Savior of all Mankind, who was worshiped by many of the Irish and Italian Catholics in the neighborhood. And, among the Jews, two alternative versions: the laudable, ethical teacher — a nice Jewish boy, essentially, who met with a terrible fate — and the Jesus they considered a creature of mythology, like Apollo or Zeus.

The Feminine Power Breakthrough
A free ebook from Dr. Claire Zammit  We want to share a valuable resource from our colleague and ally Claire Zammit PhD, who has spent the last two decades researching the most effective tools and practices to ignite women's highest potentials. In her work she discovered a surprising "power paradox" — an invisible reason why many women may be feeling stuck when it comes to responding to their higher calling and stepping forward into their greatness. And, more importantly, she’s created a map that women are using with unprecedented success to dissolve the barriers that were keeping them stuck.
We are happy to share a special gift from Claire today — a FREE ebook, The Feminine Power Breakthrough, that will shine a light on what may have been holding you back, and give you the tools to access your inner power and realize your unique destiny.

With lyrical poetry splashing like dazzling paint across a canvas of sound, she builds layer upon layer of vocal melodies into majestic loop-pedal harmonies, weaving syncopated threads of guitar, kalimba, piano, and percussion into her live performances.
