Health
"[Body energy work] is based on the idea that there is a universal energy (known in Chinese medicine as 'chi') that sustains all life. . . . When we are healthy, that flow is smooth and balanced. If we suffer from disease, injury, or emotional distress, the flow is blocked . . . . [The practitioner] can . . . rebalance the energy, warming an area that is cold, promoting flow where there is congestion, restoring vitality where there is depletion."
- Joan Arnold, "The Healing Power of Touch," New Woman (July 1996).
"It is much easier and much wiser to treat the imbalance while it is still only a disturbance in the energy field than to wait until it has progressed into a physical symptom that is far more traumatic, entrenched, and difficult to reverse."
- Donna Eden, Energy Medicine (1998).
