Andrew Weil, MD and Ann Marie Chiasson, MD collaborate on a new insightful audio guide to using energy medicine and energy healing methods for self-healing.  Called "Self-Healing With Energy Medicine," this is a 2-CD audio set available from Sounds True.  Both doctors are trained in Western medicine as well as alternative medicine modalities, and each has a wealth of experience working with energetic healing methods. Practices such as therapeutic touch, reiki, chi gong, acupressure, vibrational sound healing, and breathwork are all examples of ways we can work with energy to heal ourselves and foster balance in our lives. Weil and Chiasson fill the first CD with stories and information about their own experiences and research with energy medicine and share their understanding of the energy system and ways people perceive energy.


The second CD is filled with exercises to help you ground and balance your energy, and the CD contains high quality healing music tracks in the background to support these exercises. Dr. Weil and Dr. Chiasson do an excellent job of explaining the relationship between energy medicine and mind-body medicine. They illustrate how important it is to have healing methods to address all levels of ourselves. Energy healing methods are very useful and can often be applied successfully for people who may not be receptive or responsive to other types of therapy. Since our mind and body are both aspects of a system of energy fields that are inseparable from one another, we can help heal both the mind and body by clearing distress from those energy fields and restoring balance and healthy energy flow. This CD set offers a valuable introduction to this healing approach.
