AN INTERVIEW WITH DR MADALINA PETRE, EEM-CP

celtic_spiral

Hello and thank you for taking part in this interview. Could you please tell me a bit about yourself, your background, where you live, etc?

I am a Romanian doctor living in Bucharest, and for over 20 years, I practiced gastroenterology in my private clinic. Around 2013, I began exploring various aspects of alternative medicine, partly to regain my own emotional balance and physical health (I was very anxious, overly concerned for my loved ones, plagued by many fears, frustrations, and sadness, and I had various digestive issues—ironically, as a gastroenterologist—which were becoming increasingly bothersome). Additionally, I wanted to help my patients, especially those with functional digestive disorders, as I realized that beyond the symptoms, there was a cause that wasn’t visible on the physical plane.

How did you discover energy medicine? What led you to it?

I explored several alternative therapies: essential oils, Bach Flower Remedies, meditation, hypnotherapy, and more, which together helped me begin to regain my well-being. In 2017, I discovered Donna Eden’s 8-week course on the Mindvalley platform, which I completed. By the end of it, my desire to learn more was so overwhelming that I traveled to the UK to deepen my knowledge in this field. I pursued the course for two years, and by the end, I was certified as an EEM (Eden Energy Medicine) practitioner. I began the third year, but the pandemic hit, and I was unable to continue. On the one hand, I was very upset and frustrated, but on the other hand, this interruption made me realise that what I truly wanted was to connect information and science from both conventional and alternative medicine, which also includes EEM.

This led me to start offering holistic medicine consultations, completely leaving behind my gastroenterology practice. I began studying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which helped me understand much better the mind-body-emotion connection. Over time, I developed educational programs for the general public where I explain various symptoms from both conventional and alternative medical perspectives. I teach participants how to understand and connect with themselves and offer them natural ways to address these issues using EEM, acupressure, meditation, essential oils, Bach Flower Remedies, and more. I promote all this work under the umbrella of “preventive medicine.”

What drew me to EEM was the simplicity and effectiveness of the techniques I learned during the course, and this drives me to include them as an important part of every educational program I create.

Is there anything specific you would like to offer our readers? For example, a digital or physical product, a live or online course/workshop, an upcoming event, a retreat, etc.?

I would like to mention one of my major accomplishments this year: the publication of my first book, Miracolul Medicinei Preventive. Calea Ta Către Sănătate și Echilibru Emoțional (The Miracle of Preventive Medicine: Your Path to Health and Emotional Balance) which includes a special chapter dedicated to EEM techniques for balancing the five elements.

In the past year, I have presented this aspect of preventive medicine, where EEM plays a key role, at various international congresses and conferences.

Because I want to reach as many people as possible, I am in the process of translating my book into English, which will  be available on Amazon under the title: *”The Miracle of Preventive Medicine: Your Journey to Health and Emotional Harmony.”*

AN INTERVIEW WITH Vladimira Dragnea, PhD, EEM-AP

celtic_spiral

Hello and thank you for taking part in this interview. Could you please tell me a bit about yourself, your background, where you live, etc?

My name is Vladimira Dragnea and I live in Indiana, United States. Like Lucie, I am originally from the Czech Republic 🙂 I have lived in the US since 1998, so over 25 years now. Originally a biochemist, I am also an EEM advanced practitioner, authorized teacher of EEM Fundamentals classes and a naturopath.

How did you discover energy medicine? What led you to it?

My first round of education is in biochemistry. I have spent 30 years in a lab doing research and during those years, I have accumulated in my body many chemical toxins. That led to a long list of health problems. As I started looking for answers, I understood very quickly that Western medicine couldn’t help me. I started going to a naturopath and very soon I realized I wanted to study naturopathy myself. In the process of my own healing, I ordered a book on Amazon, called Energy Medicine by Donna Eden. I was totally fascinated by it and knew I needed to study with Donna. Now 20 years later I am practicing and teaching this method both in Indiana and the Czech Republic!

What do you like the most about Eden Energy Medicine? Why would you recommend it to others?

Energy is all there is. Each atom in our body is filled with electrons carrying electricity throughout our body, creating electromagnetic and more subtle energy fields. In my mind, EEM is the most complex, comprehensive and systematic work in the field of energy medicine. The best part is, you just need some knowledge and your own hands to help yourself. No need to go for appointments (even though they are very nice!), no expensive instruments. Your health is truly in your own hands.

Tell me a bit more about your practice; where do you work, and what are the most common issues that bring your clients to you?

After years of working at Indiana University as a research scientist, I was finally able to retire and start helping people full time! I have an office in Bloomington, IN, USA, and I work on any issues that people show up with, high blood pressure, diabetes, allergies, chronic fatigue, but many come because the sessions just feel so good and they are committed to their own deep healing. I also love teaching energy medicine and it was my dream and mission to bring Eden energy medicine to Indiana where 10 years ago there were no teachers and then to the Czech Republic. In 2016 I taught the first EEM introductory class in Olomouc and in 2022 I taught Fundamentals in Prague for the first time!

Are there any other modalities you practice?

Yes, I am also a traditional naturopath, herbalist and homeopath.

How can people find out more about you? Through a website or social media?

My website in the US is bloominghealthllc.com. I have also a website for the Czech republic: energetickamedicina.cz and a Facebook page “Metoda Eden”.

My YouTube channel Vladimira Dragnea contains many videos in Czech (and a few in English) with many energy exercises.

Is there anything specific you would like to offer our readers? For example, a digital or physical product, a live or online course/workshop, an upcoming event, a retreat, etc.?

After an introductory class in Brno last June, people asked me if I would be willing to teach a class on hormones. So there it is! I put together (in Czech language) an 8 week online class and I will be teaching it together with my former Fundamentals students from Prague. See picture below.

Is there anything else you would like to tell our readers at the end of this interview?

Energy medicine is very complementary to anything you are already doing for your health. It is very empowering, and it can become a stand-alone healthcare! Personally, I can’t imagine what my life and health would be without it!

AN INTERVIEW WITH LUCIE DUN, EEM-CLP

celtic_spiral

Tell me a bit about yourself, your background, where you live, etc.

Hi, I am Lucie and I am an Eden Energy Medicine Clinical practitioner (EEM-CLP).

There are two countries I hold dear to my heart – the Czech Republic and the UK. I was born and grew up in Prague, and in 2000, when I was 23, I moved to the UK.

My dream was to play keyboards in rock bands and to teach English. During my very first week in the UK, I met the band of my dreams and started playing with them. We performed at many venues and festivals, including Glastonbury.

I also started studying English, did my CAE and CPE Cambridge exams, and in 2004 I became a qualified TEFL teacher. One of my fondest memories is teaching in a small English college in Museum Street, near The British Museum in London. I loved the family atmosphere of the college, with international students from all over the world. It was such a fun and creative job.

In the following years, I also worked as an assistant for people with physical disabilities and volunteered at homeless shelters, spending nights in church halls with the guests. I witnessed stories of deep suffering as well as hope.

Now I live with my husband Aidan and our dog Orson in a small village near Guildford, Surrey, surrounded by beautiful hilly countryside. We moved here after 18 years of living in London, when we felt that our city chapter was complete and wished to be closer to nature.

How did you discover energy medicine? What led you to it?

One summer day, in 2018, when we still lived in London, something strange happened to me. I was at home with Aidan, expecting a visit from a good friend of ours, when all of a sudden I could feel distinct electrical energy leaving my body through my arms. I was observing this sensation with a mixture of anxiety and curiosity – it felt as if I was connected to a cable, feeling the buzzing and the movement of the electric current very distinctly.

This was the first time ever that I experienced losing energy – but not in the usual way of getting tired; this type of energy was tangible, buzzing, moving – it felt like an electric current.

In similar way that electricity gives power to electrical appliances, I felt that this force that was travelling through my arms and out of my body was the energy that was keeping me ‘switched on’ like an electrical appliance; and now, as it was leaving me, I started losing the strength to stand, and eventually slumped to the floor.

This was followed by a series of blackouts – all I could see was darkness, although I was conscious. It felt as if there was a light bulb in my head that kept switching on and off due to intermittent power cuts.

It all got quite scary. I thought I might have been poisoned, or something like that. My husband and our friend, who arrived in the middle of this, called an ambulance.

As I was driven to the hospital, I could hear the ambulance staff saying ‘possible heart attack’. I remember thinking: “I wasn’t expecting to die today, but it seems my time has come.” (I was 41 at that time.) Strangely enough, these thoughts were not accompanied by emotions of fear or panic; I was acknowledging the grim possibility quite factually, almost surrendering to it.

However, after several hours in the hospital (where I was unconscious most of the time) I was released without any diagnosis. It was rather puzzling that the whole team of medical staff (as well as all the hi-tech diagnostic equipment I was connected to) couldn’t say what was happening to my body.

The last strange thing was that as I came round and was led by my husband through the long corridor towards the exit, I could only walk extremely slowly because my body felt as if it was made of concrete. Or, that the air around me was as thick as concrete and I couldn’t push through it.

I had to develop a huge effort to light my legs, as if they were attached to heavy weights. It was like watching slowed-down film footage. To this day I am not sure what caused this state; perhaps the electrical energy that I was losing earlier that day was still too weak..?

The whole experience made me strongly interested in the electrical aspect of the body; I wanted to learn about that inner energy that animates us, that makes it possible to walk and move our limbs with ease, rather than heaviness…I no longer took it for granted!

So when I learned about ‘the Queen of Energy Medicine’, Donna Eden, who often quotes Einstein’s E = mc2  – meaning that energy and matter are interchangeable, i.e. they’re just different forms of the same thing – and that we can work with energy and influence it to benefit our health, I jumped at the first opportunity to learn more about it.

I got Donna’s book ‘Energy Medicine’, watched dozens of her videos, and enrolled in her Certification Program. Two years later, I became a certified practitioner. I loved it so much that I enrolled for another year to become a Clinical Practitioner.

What do you like the most about Eden Energy Medicine? Why would you recommend it to others?

I love the fact how deceptively simple the techniques can appear, but how effective they can be. I remember, when I was still learning the basics, how excited I always was when I could see that the techniques really ‘worked’.

For example, a friend of mine was in quite intense pain from her period. I had just learned some techniques for pain-relief, so we decided to try them. I gently held a set of acupressure points on her, and after about three minutes she looked at me with a mixture of excitement and disbelief, saying that the pain had completely gone.

What I also like about Eden Method is the ‘energy detective’ aspect. A client might come to us with a certain issue, e.g. a pain in a specific area; although as energy medicine practitioners we are not allowed to make any medical diagnosis, we can ‘ask the body’ instead, by tracking the client’s energies.

To track energies, we use energy testing tools adapted from kinesiology; this helps us assess the strength of energy flow through specific muscles or other systems, which can reveal various imbalances (e.g. too little or too much energy in a given area, polarity issues, etc). We can then apply specific techniques or protocols to balance those systems.

I can never forget the words of a little girl who came to me for a session, accompanied by her mother. At the end of the session, she said in her sweet childlike way: “If there is a job such as energy detective, then you are pretty good at it.” It makes me smile to this day.

I can recommend Energy Medicine to others because I have seen how much it has helped people who practice it, and how it has helped me personally; I used to be very vulnerable to catching colds, but since I committed to a daily practice of simple energy medicine techniques, my immune system has become remarkably stronger. There was an uninterrupted period of four years when I didn’t catch a single cold! I also became much more emotionally resilient.

These energy medicine techniques are called The Daily Energy Routine. They were compiled by Donna Eden, who selected the most effective techniques from her more than 40 years long practice.

This leads me to another reason I love Energy Medicine – the fact that this modality is such an empowering tool; that we can learn simple techniques that will make us feel better physically and emotionally, and reach for them whenever we wish.

Unlike some modalities where clients are dependent on receiving treatments, in Eden Energy Medicine the clients might come for a few sessions, or even just one, and they will leave equipped with self-care techniques that they can do at home daily, and thus take their health into their own hands – literally.

Tell me a bit more about your practice; where do you work, and what are the most common issues that bring your clients to you?

I offer energy healing sessions from my home studio in Surrey, UK, near Guildford. I also work from a holistic therapy centre called Surrey Holistic, based in nearby Godalming.

I also do online sessions, where I lead my clients through techniques specific to their situation.

The type of clients who come to me most often are mostly people with low immunity, chronic fatigue, unexplained or long-term pain, anxiety, insomnia, and emotional issues.

In the very thorough 3 years of Eden Method training, we have learned and practiced multiple protocols, including protocols for hormonal balance, recovering from cancer, or heart health, so I also accept clients who seek support in these areas.

Are there any other modalities you practice?

Yes, I am also a certified Biofield Tuning Practitioner. I use the sound and vibration of tuning forks to help restore coherence in the human Biofield. This is similar to tuning an instrument. If you feel ‘out of tune’, try a Biofield Tuning session. This modality is compatible with Energy Medicine, because both work with electromagnetic waves and frequencies. I have written more about it in a post about Biofield Tuning. I often integrate Biofield Tuning protocols into my Energy medicine sessions.

How can people find out more about you? Through a website or social media?

Yes, there are several options:

– Website for enquiries about my private practice: equlibriumenergies.com

– Facebook profile: Lucie Dun

– Facebook business page: Equilibrium Energies

– YouTube channel: Equilibrium Energies

Is there anything specific you would like to offer our readers? For example, a digital or physical product, a live or online course/workshop, an upcoming event, a retreat, etc.?

Yes, I am pleased to offer four things:

First, I have created a 5-minute meditative soundtrack with meridian affirmations. I listen to it in the morning while tracing my meridians, or just tuning into the energy of each meridian.

I also think it’s a good study tool for energy medicine students, as it will help them remember what emotions are associated with specific meridians.

You can find the track on this page:

https://naturegrooves.com/meridian-affirmations

Secondly, I’ve compiled several charts for EEM practitioners – e.g. a very detailed chart for The Star Diagnostic protocol (for Year 2 students) with all the instructions and emotions, so the practitioners can fully focus on this powerful protocol, rather than trying to remember all the steps and emotions.

Or the Five Rhythms diagram with a number of useful details, such as the specific exercises and sounds for each rhythm.

The charts are downloadable from the page Shop.

The Five Rhythms Diagram

Thirdly, I can recommend a useful resource page called ‘Tools for Energy Medicine Practitioners’. My aim was to create a time-saving resource for EEM practitioners and students.

Last, but not least, I would like to share something amazing I discovered in June 2024 through one of the stars of Energy Medicine EEM – Simone Salewski.
It is a sophisticated vessel that infuses water with molecular hydrogen. This smallest and lightest molecule in the whole cosmos has enormous potential and can power up your cells and provide numerous benefits to the body, from anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, to anti-allergic and anti-aging.

If you should leave this page with only two takeaways, it should be 1) Donna Eden’s Daily Energy Routine and 2) molecular hydrogen, because both can be lifechanging. It has been for me, and many others. You can find all the relevant information on my Home page.

You can also download a free PDF with an overview of the benefits of molecular hydrogen – simply click on the image below.

Is there anything else you would like to tell our readers at the end of this interview?

Yes. I believe that we, the practitioners of holistic healing, shouldn’t underestimate the importance of self-care – i.e. frequently recharging our energy so we can then abundantly share it with others.

One of my favourite ways to recharge is to have exchange sessions with my colleagues from the holistic healing field. This can be either with fellow practitioners of Eden Energy Medicine, or with my colleagues at Surrey Holistic, who practice different kinds of modalities.

If you are a practitioner and have a holistic centre in your area, I strongly recommend joining it so you can network with your colleagues, explore various healing modalities, and mutually receive treatments, which is a beautiful way of energy exchange.

THE BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH MERIDIANS

Meridians are channels of energy that feed specific organs in our body and influence our health and the way we feel. According to ancient Chinese wisdom, each meridian is associated with different aspects of our emotions, from fear or anger to joy and deep peace. We can balance the whole spectrum of emotions by working with each meridian.
