When it comes to healing, most of us are willing to try whatever we can to make ourselves and our loved ones feel better.

And many of these non-traditional methods are VERY controversial — especially something called energy healing.

While these practices are often dismissed as New Age nonsense or merely as placebo, Dr. Jill Blakeway — my guest on today’s episode — makes a compelling case that energy healing can actually transform the healing process.

Dr. Blakeway has a brand new book out called Energy Medicine: The Science and Mystery of Healing where she talks to practitioners, scientists, and patients about what’s REALLY going on during an energy healing session.

If you’re not already a believer in energy medicine, after hearing Dr. Blakeway address the skeptics, you may come away convinced yourself.

On this episode of the show, we’ll also talk about the science behind energy medicine, about Dr. Blakeway’s ample experience as a practitioner and recipient of energy healing, and about the steps YOU can take to practice energy healing yourself.
