What an energy medicine session looks like

Come back to yourself

When chronic pain, fatigue, stress, or a condition that hasn't responded to anything else is still with you, it's often because nothing has reached deep enough. Energy-balancing works underneath the symptoms, not the symptoms themselves. Your body already knows how to heal. It may just need a different kind of help.

I am Shveta Aneja, a Clinical Practitioner in Eden Energy Medicine. I offer in-person, one-on-one 1.5-hour energy-balancing sessions in Los Altos, California.

Eden Energy Medicine in Los Altos, CA

Does this sound familiar?

You're exhausted in a way sleep doesn't fix

Fatigue that sits deep. You've had tests done, everything comes back normal but something is clearly not right.

Your body is in pain, and nobody has an answer

Chronic pain, tension, or discomfort that persists despite treatments, physio, medication, or rest.

Stress has become your baseline

Anxiety, burnout, or a nervous system that never seems to fully settle, even when life looks fine from the outside.

A diagnosis that hasn't responded to treatment

Autoimmune conditions, long-haul Covid, hormonal imbalances, and digestive issues.

Your emotions feel stuck or too big to carry

Grief, fear, anger, or overwhelm that keeps cycling back, and you can't seem to shift it.

You feel disconnected from yourself

Emotionally numb, scattered, or like you've lost contact with who you were before all of this started.

Energy-balancing may be exactly what your body has been waiting for.

Behind almost every physical symptom, there is stuck energy underneath. The symptom is what you feel. The energy underneath it is what I work with.

Energy medicine does not treat or diagnose medical conditions. It supports the body's own ability to heal, regulate, and find ease.

What is energy medicine?

Every cell of our bodies is made up of energy. Energy flows through every part of us in an interconnected way. With the stress of day-to-day life or traumatic experiences, the energies in various parts of our body can get blocked or imbalanced. Over time, these imbalances can manifest as an illness or condition.

Energy medicine is a set of hands-on techniques that work with the body's electromagnetic nature to clear these blockages and restore vitality.

It works together at the mental, emotional, and physical levels - these are interconnected. When something feels off, it’s rarely isolated to one system.

As an Eden Energy Medicine practitioner,

1) I energy-test and balance your energies,
2) across eight energy systems using specific techniques and protocols,
3) all with my hands
.

These balancing protocols are gentle, integrative, and honor the complexity and wisdom of your body, helping it to heal naturally.

Eden Energy works with nine energy systems

Meridians

Your body’s energy highways

Fourteen pathways carrying life-force through every organ: liver, kidney, heart, and more. When a meridian is blocked, the organ it feeds can struggle. Working the meridians restores flow, easing pain, fatigue, and the emotional weight that often travels alongside physical symptoms.

Chakras

Spinning centers of life

Seven wheels of energy along your spine, each governing a different layer of your being: from feeling safe in your body (root) to feeling connected to something larger (crown). They hold memories of your experiences. Balanced chakras help you feel grounded, open, and in tune.

Aura

Your protective bubble

The Aura surrounds your body and acts like a protective bubble. It helps you feel safe, connected, and resilient.

A strong aura supports emotional balance and protects you from external stress or negative energies.

Triple Warmer

Your inner alarm system

Governs the fight, flight, and freeze response, and commandeers energy from every other system when it senses a threat. Calming Triple Warmer can help your body shift from survival to ease. And when it’s no longer stuck in stress mode, it can help you feel safe and fully alive.

Celtic Weave

The web that binds all systems

The Celtic Weave is a network of figure-eight patterns that weave through your body, bringing rhythm, connection, and coherence to your entire energy system. When the Celtic Weave is strong, healing in one system ripples through all the others.

Five Rhythms

Water • Wood • Fire • Earth • Metal

Your energetic 'personality' you were born with. Each rhythm has characteristic strengths, emotional tendencies, and vulnerabilities. Understanding yours offers insight into chronic issues and points directly to where your energy most needs support.

Radiant Circuits

Joy on demand

Radiant Circuits move fluidly wherever they're needed and support all other energy systems. They respond to your thoughts and emotions. When activated,  they help spark joy and reconnect you to your inner healer.

Electrics

Your body’s wiring

The densest energy system measurable by ECG and EEG, which helps charge your cells so they can communicate and repair effectively. It is closely linked to the nervous system and heart.

Grid

The deepest foundation

The Grid is your deepest energy system, like the energetic framework that holds everything together. If it’s been shaken by trauma or deep stress, restoring the Grid can bring profound healing and a renewed sense of self.

(I don’t work with the Grid, only the first eight.)

Donna Eden and David Feinstein

Donna Eden is a pioneer in the field of Energy Medicine. She was born with the unique ability to see the body’s energies in the form of colors and geometric shapes. By the time she was 16 (1959), she had faced a series of serious health challenges: Tuberculosis twice, Multiple Sclerosis, and a host of other ailments caused by an inability to digest food properly. She had severe food allergies. At just 27 years old, she had a heart attack, and was given a grim prognosis by five specialists. 

Determined to heal, Donna began to experiment with her body’s energies. She would place her hands on different areas and observe the shifts in her energy, both feeling and seeing the changes. As she researched, she discovered that the energy systems she was working with, such as Meridians, Chakras, and the Aura, have been recognized for thousands of years across various cultures. In addition to this research, Donna tapped into her unique ability to sense energy and understand how it flows throughout the body. Within two years, she healed herself from multiple ailments and became relatively symptom-free.

After her recovery, she began working with clients, offering one-on-one 90-minute sessions as she birthed Eden Energy Medicine in 1977 (now a part of the broader Eden Method). By 2020, she had worked with an estimated 10,000 clients. She also started teaching classes, which have been attended by more than 100,000 people. In 2005, Donna and her husband, David Feinstein, launched a formal training program that has produced over 1,600 certified practitioners, such as myself, who now work with thousands of clients worldwide.

Is Energy Medicine same as Reiki?

I haven't practiced Reiki myself, but from what I understand, Energy medicine and Reiki are different. 

First, Reiki involves hovering hands over the body, allowing the body's wisdom to guide the energy where it’s needed. In Eden Energy Medicine, we recognize that the body's wisdom has been compromised along the way, so instead of waiting for the energy to self-direct, we actively guide it using energy testing, hands-on techniques, and client participation to restore balance.

Second, with Eden Energy Medicine, we use specific sets of techniques and protocols that Donna put together based on her forty-plus years of practice and learning.

Third, Eden Energy Medicine works with nine energy systems (including the Chakras, the Aura, and the Meridians), so it's very comprehensive.
