Many therapists are finding ways to incorporate energy medicine into their practices, whether that means EFT tapping to relieve anxiety before cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or chakra balancing techniques to support trauma processing during EMDR. Donna Eden provides an easy daily energy routine which includes Wayne Cook Posture and Crossover exercises as well as Crown Pull.
The Wayne Cook Posture
The Wayne Cook Posture is an effective and straightforward exercise designed to restore energy pathways that may become disoriented during times of stress and conflict. It serves as a fast, grounding technique that also serves to calm emotions and sharpen thinking.
The posture forms an energy shape resembling that of DNA’s double helix, crossing over brain hemisphere functions and meridians to restore natural energy flow and help with dyslexia, stuttering, confusion, obsessiveness compulsivity disorganization depression or excessive anger issues. It can help refocus during fights or just to regain composure before important discussions or presentations.
When we are upset, our energy can quickly shift into our bodies’ fear response. The Wayne Cook Posture can quickly help restore equilibrium so they can think clearly and make wise choices.
To perform this posture, have the person cross one ankle over the other and hold for several slow and deep breaths before switching sides. Next, have them test energy by looking at an X and following parallel lines; if their energy field primarily aligns to one side over the other, this indicates homolateral energy imbalance that needs correcting with techniques such as homolateral crossovers, cross crawls or even polarity breath (breathing into and out of one nostril while closing another for three times while exhaling through it three times while exhaling).
If this issue remains uncorrected, they may find it challenging to process stress hormones and keep an even energy field. Therefore, regular practice of these exercises may provide them with access during times of conflict.
