Menopause: Energy Medicine to Stimulate Estrogen Production

By Shift Doctors · Comments (0)

Sunday, January 8th, 2012

Being menopausal can bring on challenges. Energy Medicine has relieved many of its symptoms over the past few years for both the Shift Doctors, their patients and students. Energy Medicine empowers the patient to be the healer and strengthens the integration of mind, body and spirit leading to a greater sense of well being and passion. It’s free, no need to make an appointment and only requires the knowledge of how to do it and the discipline to carry out the exercise routine.

We were both fortunate to meet Donna Eden a decade ago and attend various classes. She is an extraordinarily joyful and effective healer who can clairvoyantly see the body’s subtle energies. She and her husband David Feinstein have been teaching classes and spreading her knowings about how to harmonize the bodies energies, around the world for 30 years. This article is based on her teachings and writings which we are delighted to share with our readers to enhance your ability to balance your energies, self heal and boost your vitality.

So, how do you know if you have an estrogen imbalance? Here are some possible symptoms; Read More→

The “Winter Solstice” Empowerment

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

This article is from Robert Peng’s latest newsletter. Robert is an extraordinary Qigong Master and the author of the book “Qigong Master: My Life and Secret Teachings”, which we have reviewed on this website and highly recommend, as well as his CD’s and DVD’s. We believe so much in his heartfelt teachings that we have recently just completed his intensive 3 month 12 Cycle Yang Qigong course.
Robert Peng‘s newsletter provides seasonal information from the Chinese calendar as well as giving a simple yet powerful practice called Jieqi Qigong. The transition between Jieqi occurs every two weeks. The universal energies released during the first two hours of the new Jieqi are powerful and auspicious just like the energy surge that follows the start of the New Year. Jieqi Qigong is a practice designed to help us absorb that outpouring of universal Qi energy directly into our spine.

The “Winter Solstice” Empowerment

On Thursday December 22, the 22nd of the 24 seasonal cycles of the Chinese solar calendar begins. This cycle, Winter Solstice (Dongzhi), begins at 12:30 AM EST as the sun reaches 270° Longitude (0° Capricorn).
Winter Solstice is the fourth of the six cycles of winter. The theme of winter is wisdom and authority and over the next fifteen days, as the next seasonal cycle unfolds, nature will reveal essential qualities that you can awaken in yourself and use to align with the flow of life.
In the last cycle, Major Snow, the frosty hand of winter tightened its grip and we countered this trend by insulating our feet and kidneys from the cold and using simple “warming” strategies to keep our internal energies balanced. Over the next fifteen days nature enters a new phase and a new orienting theme will guide her activities. Read More→

PTSD, Trauma & Depression

PTSD, Trauma & Depression by Tracy Latz, M.D.

Depression is a common problem that can occur following trauma. It involves feelings of sadness or low mood that last more than just a few days. Unlike a blue mood that comes and goes, depression lasts 2 or more weeks. Depression can get in the way of performing activities of daily life, make it hard to function and can cause you to lose your passion for living. It can affect eating and sleeping habits, ability to concentrate, and your confidence or self-esteem.

How commonly does depression follow trauma?

Depression affects almost 1 in 10 adult Americans yearly. Depression is a frequent symptom that occurs following trauma. For instance, a survey of survivors from the Oklahoma City bombing revealed that 23% reported depression after the bombing as compared to 13% of survivors who reported having depression before the bombing. Depression is frequently experienced in people diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

What are the symptoms of depression?

Real depression differs from feeling sad in that with a clinical depression the sad, blue, depressed mood or lack of interest in usual hobbies or interests must last for at least 2 weeks and must be accompanied by at least 3 to 4 of the following: significant weight loss or gain, sleep disturbance (increased or decreased), agitation or decreased motor activity, fatigue or loss of energy, excessive feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate guilt, concentration difficulty, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide.

How are depression and trauma related?

Depression can either “come from out of the blue” or it can be triggered by stressful events such as divorce, loss, or a trauma. Difficulty coping with painful experiences can often lead to intense sadness or depression. Veterans returning from military conflict or a war zone, for instance, may have painful Read More→

How To Recognize the 7 Energy Zappers In Your Life

By Shift Doctors · Comments (5)

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

The Shift Doctors (Marion Ross, Ph.D. & Tracy Latz, M.D.) take questions on various integrative medicine and metaphysical topics. We recently received an inquiry asking: “How we can recognize the ‘Energy Zappers’ in our lives?”

One thing Energy Zappers have in common: if you participate they have you at ‘Hello’. Just think of the phone ringing and the man on the other end asking “Is the lady of the house in?” and you answer “Why?” and he responds by saying “Well, please don’t hang up but I am from the Fraternal Order of Police and”… you know if you stay on the line you are hooked. The zappers are the same. They are like an energetic vacuum cleaner sucking out part of your life force so you feel tired, drained, perhaps angry or hurt, and wishing you hadn’t had that interaction. Are you the sponge soaking up the negativity of others around you?

We are all connected energetically. We have all walked into a room and felt bad vibes. We have probably all had the same feeling upon meeting certain people. In our encounters we have warm, caring, nurturing people around us, those with which we have a good exchange; and then we have the ‘zappers’.

There are several different types of energy ‘Zappers’ that will STING you whenever they get the opportunity. Do you find these situations familiar?

1. You are feeling drained either being on the phone or in person with a friend who gabs constantly about anything and everything; and, when you do finally get a word in, they snatch the conversation back to themselves. It’s all about them!

2. Or when the phone rings, all you hear about is “poor me”; “my child didn’t get into the new school”, Read More→

The “Limit of Heat” Empowerment

On Tuesday August 23rd 2011, the 14th of the 24 yearly seasonal cycles of the Chinese calendar begins. This cycle, Limit of Heat begins at 7:20 AM EDT.
Limit of Heat is the second of six cycles that make up the fall season. The theme of autumn is discernment and objectivity and over the next fifteen days nature will enter a new stage of development and display new characteristics as the year continues to ripen and mature.
The Chinese calendar year is now past the midway point and the basic orientation of life is shifting directions. We are passing the upper limit of heat and light, the two qualities associated with the sun and the sky. The finger of nature is pointing away from Heaven and towards Earth. The first falling leaves hint at this new trend.

4 End of Summer Cool Energy Boosters

By Shift Doctors · Comments (3)

Sunday, July 24th, 2011

1. Tap on or massage firmly an acupressure point that is known as the 27th
point of the kidney meridian.This area on the body can be located on the
chest about an inch below the collarbone and about 3 to 5 inches above
the nipple bilaterally. Stimulating this area on the body will immediately
pick up energy level, improve motivation and enhance attention.

2. Peppermint tea (hot or iced) improves energy level and focus.

3. The scent of citrus or lemon (as well as peppermint) can pick up energy level and improve concentration.

4. Wear or look at the color yellow. This also helps with boosting energy and motivation. Yellow placed around a workplace or an area where you are studying can help with focus and concentration.

5. Feeling overheated? Chilled Watermelon can help decrease heat held in the energy meridians and in the body. Refreshing Lemonade can also assist with cooling down while picking up energy.

Stay cool!! The summer will be over before you know it!
