ENERGY PSYCHOLOGY/MEDICINE PROTOCOLS FOR CORRECTING ENERGY IMBALANCES, INCREASING RESILIENCE & WELL-BEING
This is a series I take each of my new clients through. I will repeat it with them in a session if they have become highly disregulated again from traumatic shock, illness or trauma repetition. The impact appears to last for about 4 days before beginning to diminish, if they do not do it daily, as I strongly encourage them to do. I ask everyone to scan themselves for how they are feeling/functioning from 0 – 10 at the beginning, then check this again at the end of the set.

your belly button with the fingers of your other hand clumped together. Do for about 20 seconds, then
reverse and do the same thing with the opposite hands.
Tap (or rub) just under your collarbones (on each side of the sternum there’s an indentation between the
collarbone and the first rib, with other finger tips in navel. These points are also known in acupuncture as
the K-27’s) with the thumb and third finger of one hand, while holding belly button with middle finger of the
other. Do this for 20 seconds and repeat with opposite hands.
Rub coccyx and sacrum with first two fingers of one hand, while fingers of other hand in your belly button. Do

Take a “waterfall” breath: breathing in deeply through your nose, holding that breath for just for a few
seconds, then dropping it out through your mouth in a whoosh.

Yin Flow – Donna Eden
When to do it:
When there’s a feeling that either one is too vulnerable (this is usually the case) or too shut down emotionally,
too rigidly protected and too closed off from self and others.
How to do it:
Trace the shape of a heart around your chest, ending at the solar plexus, three times. At the third tracing,
flatten hands against the front of the body and brush down the front of the body, flicking the energy off at
your feet. Grab the in-steps of your feet with your hands and stretch (this is a great upper back stretch) for one
complete breath cycle. Then release hands, still hanging from the waist and complete one more breath cycle.
As you begin to curl your vertebrae back up to standing, with your arms trace a sideways 8, or the infinity
symbol (the Celtic Weave) with both hands engaging in mirrored movements. Continue until hands reach
above the body, then slowly bring to your sides.

Smoothing Around the Ears/Triple Warmer Sedation -- Donna Eden
​
Yang Flow – Donna Eden
When to do it:
When feeling too rigid or not able to stand your ground.
When it feels as though your feet have been knocked from under you and you don’t know how you are going
to keep going forward; don’t know where the strength to endure is going to come from.
How to do it:
Have someone else do the Celtic Weave (see above) behind you proceeding from above your head to the
bottom of your feet, brushing the energy off at the bottom, and repeating this move once. Do the Celtic
Weave in such a fashion that you wrap yourself in it. Twisting at the waist allow your hands to cross the
midpoint of your body so that the infinity symbol encircles your whole body. You are encircling yourself with
the symbol for infinity. Try doing this at levels above and below your waist.
Triple Warmer Sedation (Smoothing Around the Ears) – Donna Eden

When to do it:
When overworked
When going through emotionally difficult situations
When you have a history of trauma
When you work and live with people who have been traumatized
How to do it:
Place pads of first three fingers just above the cheek bone on either side of your face. With as much pressure
as feels comfortable, pull your fingers from this spot completely & closely around the back of your ears,
coming off the skull and bringing fingers next to the jawbone. From there, proceed down the side of the neck
and out to the top of your shoulders and then grab trapezius (muscles on the top back of your shoulders) and
hold this position for a deep releasing breath. Lock fingertips and pull fingers across these muscles, providing
a cross massage, pulling down to the collarbones. Shake hands and arms to release the buildup of lactic acid
in the muscles from this exercise. Repeat this once.

Cook’s Hook Up (Wayne Cook)
Use when:
You have energy but it is not accessible or focused. This can manifest in these ways:
Feeling confused, overwhelmed, frenetic, hysterical, overly angery
Obsessively thinking, worrying, running the same tapes repeatedly
Being dyslexic, mentally disorganized
What it helps:
Decreases dyslexic thought and movement
Centers and focuses energy
Calms the mind
Gets you “back in your body”
How to do it:
Sit comfortably with both feet firmly on the ground. Clasp fingers of hands together and see which thumb is on
top. This is the side of your body with which you will begin (in this example, the left thumb is on top—which it
is for about 2/3’s of us). Release your hands.
Place left ankle on right knee. Place right hand on left ankle and wrap left hand around the left foot so that the
palm of the hand touches the ball of the foot. Do not stretch the sole of your foot, rather cradle it towards
your body. Begin the releasing breathing pattern and repeat five times, gently pulling up your leg (if it’s
comfortable) as you breathe in, then relaxing as you exhale.
Bring that leg down. Now place the right ankle on the left foot and repeat the same position and breathing
pattern, again for five breath cycles. Return that leg to floor.
Put both hands together, palm to palm, then spread palms apart with only fingertips touching. Place thumbs of
hands between and just above the eyebrows (pineal gland, third eye), with index fingers resting on the top of
the head and do the same breathing pattern again 5 times. Inhale again, this time holding the breath, while
pushing in with the thumbs, then pulling and stretching thumbs across forehead as you begin to exhale.
Continue this pulling and stretching motion (going all around the head and keeping at least middle fingertips
together), through the temples and around the ears. At the base of the skull, follow the skull line (the bowl of
the skull) with the thumbs until they meet again at the occipital point at the base of the center of the skull.
Note: At the end of this routine, pause again to reflect on how you feel now compared to how you felt when
you began. Using the 0 – 10 scale will assist you in this.
Reclaiming Your Power and Truth
​
After any of these exercises, pause with a few breath cycles, focusing on releasing all toxins,
tension, tightness, pain, etc. from your being; reclaim your power from the imbalances, and remember the truth of your being: that you are the perfect child of God, that you are infinite love, joy, peace, gratitude, “the Power and Presence of God”, the Light of Oneness on earth, or any other phrase that represents for you your truth!
