Clearing Energetic Paths

Ep- # 223 - Clearing Energetic Paths, An Interview with Yogi Healer and Author, Lauren Walker As we wrap up the month of March and the theme for this month which is Energy, I am thrilled to welcome a special guest. Yogi Healer and Author, Lauren Walker. Lauren’s book The Energy to Heal – is all about healing from trauma and stress through the practice of Energy Medicine Yoga. So, what is Energy Medicine Yoga? It is a unique healing system that Lauren Walker developed and perfected over many years of study. She practiced on herself and early in her development of Energy Medicine she also worked with those in the military, to help them heal from trauma. This practice changed how Lauren practiced yoga. She found that with the right tools and practice one could heal their trauma and / or stress. Lauren works with the 5 elements, which is an energy system that resides in the body and is derived from ancient Chinese medicine. According to Lauren we can explore our life through the lens of these 5 elements in order to become more aware of why we respond to everyday life experiences as we do. And we can also heal and thrive, and learn more about ourselves through this same lens of the 5 elements. The 5 elements we explore in this podcast are: Water which appears as Fear and is balanced with Courage Wood which appears as Anger and is balanced with Assertive Action Fire which appears as Anxiety and is balanced with Joy and Inspiration Earth which appears as Worry and is balanced with Self-Love Metal which appears as Grief and is balanced with Faith and the ability to let-go. Most people have a primary element however everyone has a bit of each of these elements. Lauren’s book is hands on and provides exercises with photos showing what you can do to heal your body. She also offers journaling prompts. Her book teaches you how to respond, rather than react, to triggers so that you can ultimately diminish their effect on you.
