The Language Your Body Speaks: Self-Healing with Energy Medicine

Finally a manual for operating this body, mind, spirit complex! I can’t say enough good things about this author’s work and this book. I originally purchased a couple of the author’s dvd classes years ago and they were in a “for later” box for a long while. I waited until I was in deep doodoo to actually study them (nothing like necessity for motivation). The classes helped pull me out of a deep hole I had dug and I have been a big fan ever since. “The Language Your Body Speaks” gives energy medicine a new dimension by adding the power of mind and spirit through imagination and creativity. It is a synopsis of the author’s life work rolled into one book. People familiar with her work will appreciate how it has been pulled together into one place with some great new material as well. Those unfamiliar will find the information and concepts easy to understand and follow. There are 32 officially named exercises and many more suggestions throughout the book that are also noteworthy. Two of my favorites are the porcupine reset and the smart filter exercises. I’d love to see some accompanying instructional videos of the exercises as a book bonus like some authors are offering these days (hint hint).The book is a practical, no-nonsense, down to earth, and sprinkled with humor treasure. It is coming at a really good time. The turmoil in this modern world is unnerving, like a huge disturbance tearing at the fabric of our understanding. In this ripped open state, we need to and are possibly more open to learn new ways of living and being. Like learning to see the forest for the trees or to see what has always been right in front of us but hidden until now. The book encourages us to learn by immersing ourselves like babies do when discovering things for the first time.The book sifts things down to the basics. Einstein said “The definition of genius is taking the complex and making it simple.” The book does that well. While the concepts and tools presented may seem simple, don’t be fooled! They are rich with meaning and very powerful. The book provides the foundation, the building blocks, to help build and maintain health in an overly allopathic-centered world that has made health far too complicated to the point of ridiculousness, to the point health care is no longer comprehensible. I really appreciate the instruction for doing the exercises with intention which is broken down into three aspects – assess, rebalance, and invoke. I don’t know why this little gem isn’t in the very first chapter though (it is in chapter 10). Using these three aspects of intention recognizes our uniqueness and that we are our own best experts. It enables the customization of any exercise to what we need at that given moment. I also appreciate the practice tips at the end of each chapter as synopses, points of reference, and reminders.The author offers a new frame of reference by identifying three aspects of the self -- the Earth Elemental Self, the Talking Self, and the Wiser Self. It feels more intuitive and common sense than the often confusing, ill-defined and misunderstood traditional terms such as ego, mind, conscious, subconscious, etc. She teaches us how to decode what the three selves are trying to tell us. We run into problems when we don’t listen! I believe what she calls “spirit feeds” is a simplified version of what she calls “councils” in her first book “Listening In.” They are metaphors and useful for learning more about our nature. Some examples of spirit feeds are visionary, peacemaker, and awakener. Definitely check out her first book for more on that topic (or better yet, do a channeled reading consult with her).This book deserves several readings as it is chock full of nuances and new perspectives, each time through will provide more insights and understandings. I so appreciate the author’s generosity to share her wisdom with us. If this book resonates with you, definitely look into the author’s other offerings (I highly recommend the “Storyline Track and Balance” dvd class, a lifesaver for me) and definitely get Donna Eden’s Energy Medicine book if you don’t have it already! The two books make a powerful duo. Thank you for reading and many blessings!

Ellen Meredith’s new book, The Language Your Body Speaks: Self-Healing with Energy Medicine, is a wonderful introduction to energetic self-healing, whether you are new to this practice of energy healing and just want to learn how to communicate with your own body or are a practicing energy healer. Ellen has a beautiful way of explaining, in useful terms, the why’s and how’s of getting in touch with yourself and bringing balance to your systems and helps you learn to ‘think outside the box.’ In addition, she introduces the concepts of color and sound healing and more. The exercises Ellen shares will help you get in touch with abilities we were born with but lost in Western culture ethos. And she does this in a gentle, informative, and easy way to understand and use. Use the information in this book to begin your healing journey. Experiment and go beyond what she has introduced here as she intends. If you do, it will open up a new world of understanding yourself and our real reality. I highly recommend this book!

I was so excited to learn that Ellen Meredith was writing a book for everybody. I have taken her courses in my Energy Medicine training and have always been struck by the profound simplicity of her methods. Personally Ellen's Template Clearing technique changed my life.This book is written so that anyone who is curious about their own healing capacity can benefit from Ellen's wisdom. I love that the techniques are presented not as "exercises" but as ideas to "play with." There is no wrong way to do any of this, as everyone's energies are unique. There is no pressure to master anything. There is only an invitation to get curious and play.I invite you to read this book, get curious about yourself, and have a delightful time learning to communicate with your own energies.

The Language Your Body Speaks is the ONE book that you just will be so happy to have read (and preferrably carry with you after that at all times).It helps me to focus more on the "what can go right? what is already right? where can I find my nourishment to make things go even more right? "Instead of "what is wrong? how can I fix this? and order my body around, to follow strict rules and exercises:."Ellen writes : "Today, how can I honour my three selves?" That is totally different from my ingrained autopilot "what is my duty today? what do I have to do? how can i work HARD to ....., " . A pattern I try to let go of for some time. This book opens my eyes and my heart more to myself. By reading this book, and doing the exercises of Ellen on YouTube, you can make a difference in your own life. The deep and warm wisdom is so effective and I hope the very simple things to try at home will warm and enlighten you too.. DO try this at home, or anywhere. A great read.

I love this book! I wish this book came out years ago when I first started my Energy Medicine healing quest. Ellen Meredith’s book, “The Language Your Body Speaks: Self-Healing with Energy Medicine,“ is a must read for anyone who is interested in learning how to communicate with their body to understand what it needs. Now, more than ever, is the time to learn to heal yourself, and you can do that by listening to the guidance within your body through the energetic language it uses to converse with you. This simple yet profoundly effective book is extremely helpful in bringing awareness to your ability to connect with and, therefore, heal your body.
