Having a busy day? Nothing unusual, right? Feel drained and sluggish? This is normal too. At times, we may be surrounded by too many people. We could be working on too many projects at once.

Donna is a New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and the leading proponent of Energy Medicine. She first began working with her body’s energies when she was just 27 years old.

Together, they have trained 100,000+ students including healthcare professionals to learn about their own energies.
First of all, to understand what she says, let’s begin by knowing Energy Medicine.
What is Energy Medicine?
Energy runs through all of us. It helps us move. It lets us complete mundane tasks and also achieve big feats. What’s most interesting about this life force is that it has incredible intelligence. It sets the foundation of all your body’s physical systems. These include immune, respiratory, reproductive systems, and others. The energy guides these systems to keep you alive and thriving. Energy Medicine is the practice of tapping into this brilliant energy. It is all about mobilising it for your health and well-being.
How Can you Understand Energies and Use it to your Benefit?
The energy body is a very refined system. Once you understand it, you can reach to the root of the problems you face. Thus, you can solve them easily.
Donna Eden Energy Medicine works with some of the energies that are unknown to the Western world. But they have been practiced as traditional healing methods in the East for thousands of years. While the inner energies can’t be measured or seen through electronic devices yet (as far as I know), it is now possible to see people’s auras through ‘special’ cameras. “Dr. Valerie Hunt, a leading researcher at the University of California in Los Angeles, conducted studies using sophisticated methods to record subjects’ aura-energy data while clairvoyants described their aura. She discovered that data frequencies and patterns were indicative of aura colours”.
Finally, now, the Western science is coming close to the Eastern traditional understanding of energies.

How does Donna Eden Energy Medicine Works on your Daily Life?
How exciting would it be to be able to maneuver with your body’s energies, so that it can work with the lifestyle you are living!
As per Donna Eden Energy Medicine, there are 14 major energy flows or meridians – half of them go up, half go down. These are aligned with your muscles and movements so that you can walk, run, swim or complete any task. The direction of the flow of the meridians is coordinated with the movement of the muscles so that it has that positive effect.
When you feel tired, these meridians start working in the reverse direction. And when you push further, you get exhausted because you are going against the flow. You feel drained and your body asks for rest. When this happens, it may be a good idea to time your rest well.
Body clock vs. the time clock – it’s important to choose the right one
If you follow only the time on the clock, it disturbs the rhythm of the body and its alignment with energies. Instead, the body clock is a brilliant system. It works in sync with your body. Putting the body clock to your benefit is simple: when your body feels energetic, you’re good to work. When it is tired and demanding rest, let your body clock guide you.

If not the principal exercise, you can shift to the alternative to make it work for you.
CROSS-OVER SHOULDER PULL
This posture balances and harmonizes energy, improves coordination and clears thinking. This is important to do before any other exercise of Donna Eden’s daily energy routine. You have less than 50% capacity to heal yourself if your energies are not crossed over. This sets the ball rolling for energy work.
How to:
- Put one hand on your opposite shoulder.
- Dig your fingers into the back of the shoulder, drag them over the top, and pull firmly down and across your body diagonally to your opposite hip.
- Do this several times, and then repeat on the other side.
If you have someone at home to help, ask them to rub their hands from the shoulders to lower back swiftly.
THE FOUR THUMPS
The Four Thumps is a fantastic way to push the “reset” button for your body’s energies.
How to:
Use several fingers or knuckles to vigorously tap the spots for 15−20 seconds each. While thumping, breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.
This technique is broken down into four main components:
- Stomach: Tap cheekbones under each eye vigorously with 2 or 3 fingers.
- Kidney 27: Locate the U-shaped notch at the top of your breastbone. Move down and out about an inch to find the spots to tap.
- Thymus: With one or both hands thump your fingertips or knuckles on the sternum at the thymus gland.
- Spleen: Tap the spleen meridian Neurolymphatic points, beneath the breasts and down one rib, for at least fifteen seconds or tap the spleen acupuncture points, located on the side of the body about four inches down from the armpits. If either set is tenderer, use these points as they will have a stronger beneficial effect on your spleen meridian.
CROSS CRAWL
It’s always a good time to balance and harmonise energy, improve coordination and clear your thinking. The cross-crawl posture of Donna Eden daily energy routine lets you achieve all of this.
How to:
- While standing, seated, or lying down, lift your right arm and left leg simultaneously. As you let them down, raise your left arm and right leg.
- Repeat, this time exaggerating the lift of your leg and the swing of your arm across the midline to the opposite side of your body.
- If you can, twist so that your elbow touches your opposite knee. Continue this exaggerated march for at least a minute, again breathing in deeply.
THE WAYNE COOK POSTURE
The Wayne Cook Posture is named to honour Wayne Cook, a pioneering researcher of Bioenergetics force field who demonstrated the effectiveness of this technique for treating dyslexia and stuttering.
This posture of daily exercise routine focuses your mind. It allows you to untangle inner chaos, see with a better perspective, think clearly, and learn more proficiently.
How to:
- Sit with your spine straight. Place your left foot over your right knee. Hold your left ankle with your right hand and the bottom of your left foot with your left hand.
- Breathe in slowly through your nose, letting the breath lift your body while stretching your leg toward you. Exhale slowly through your mouth, relaxing your body. Repeat four to five times.
- Switch to the other foot and repeat this entire process.
- Uncross your legs and “steeple” your fingertips, resting your thumbs just above the bridge of your nose. Breathe slowly in through your nose and out through your mouth three or four times. On the last exhale, curl your fingers at the centre of your forehead, push in, and pull slowly to your temples, stretching the skin on your forehead. Slowly bring your hands down in front of you. Surrender into your own breathing.
WAYNE COOK – ALTERNATIVE
If you’re not able to get your body into the Wayne Cook Posture, worry not. There are simpler alternatives presented in Donna Eden daily energy routine. Here is what you can do to gain similar benefits, though usually not as potent:
How to:
- While sitting, cross your ankles. If standing, cross ankles if you can do so comfortably.

- Cross your right wrist over your left wrist, bring your palms together, and clasp your fingers.
- Turn your hands “under and up” and rest them on your chest, beneath your chin.

THE CROWN PULL

- Slowly, with pressure, pull your fingers apart to the temples stretching the skin above your eyebrows.

- Move down to your shoulders and push your fingers into the back of your shoulders and hold. Often pull across your shoulders towards the front. Finally, release and bring your hands to the middle of your chest for at least one breath.
NEUROLYMPHATIC CLEARING

It’s important to energise and trash the toxins into your body’s waste removal system. Enjoy a clear stagnant energy from your body. But before you begin, here is what you should remember:
- Neurolymphatic work helps clear toxins. So you may experience some nausea from this technique as the toxins are released for elimination. You may want to proceed more slowly or work fewer points in subsequent sessions to yield maximum benefits.
- If you have any injury, skip pressurising it.
- Drink lots of water to help your body clear out the toxins that are released.
How to:
- Press in on any of the points shown in the chart with strong pressure and make tiny circles with your thumb or finger (press/buzz).
- Press/buzz each point for about five seconds. Do a few points each day.
- Work tender points for several extra seconds. The tenderness may not go away immediately, but you are clearing the congestion. Return to points that were tender on subsequent days.
THE ZIP-UP
Boost your confidence, clear your mind and protect yourself from negative energies around you. This is one of the simplest postures of the daily exercise routine.
How to:
- Place your hand on your pubic bone.
- Take a deep breath in as you move your hand, slowly and deliberately, straight up the centre of your body to your lower lip.
THE HOOK-UP
This unique posture of Donna Eden daily energy routine calms you and centres you. It helps you connect a number of body’s energy circuits. A word of caution: It may make you feel dizzy and be mindful to not faint.
How to:
- Place the middle finger of one hand on the Third Eye and the middle finger of your other hand in the navel.
- Gently press each finger into the skin and pull it upwards. Hold for twenty to thirty seconds.
- You can hold it longer if you like.
- Often you will experience a deep sigh and/or yawn. This shows that your energies have hooked up.
