There are times when energy techniques, protocols, exercises, acupoints don't seem to have the desired effect or they don’t hold well. They may be great techniques but something just isn’t happening as you expected. I think we have all experienced that at some time!

In Energy Answers we are going to look at top techniques and strategies for “why isn’t that working?”

• Energetic organisation – what is that and why do we need it?
• Are your energetic circuits plugged in ?
• How does polarised breathing help?
• Our neck is an “energy junction box” for the whole of the body. Is the answer in the neck?
• What about when symptoms are just on one side of the body? Find out what that may be saying about your energy and how the Japanese Akabane technique can assess and treat one-sided symptoms
Learn how to locate and correct “glitches” in our energy systems that can be secretly undermining our health, flow and vibrancy.

The Vagus Nerve is one of the great energy organisers of our bodies. It helps regulate our heart health, respiratory health, immune system, digestive and elimination systems and can move us out of stress and into relaxation!

There are lots of great exercises to help our Vagus Nerve and nervous system regulation, one of them is rubbing our ears! The Vagus Nerve has a branch that goes to our ear so by rubbing or pressing our ears we help create healthy Vagal tone. The crux of helix (the white dot in the photo) is the major point to hold/rub but you can also "pull" out your ears and rub all around the rim of your ear and underneath and behind your ear. It is also a great way to help move you out of stress and anxiety - so if a stressful moment hits you - rub your ears!

I will be sharing lots of tips and techniques to regulate our energy system in my new online class I on October on the 28th - called Energy Answers.

All the details are below - it would be great to see you there!

Autumn is such a special time. In Oriental Medicine each season is associated with an elemental energy. and Autumn is the season of Metal and the Large Intestine and Lungs energy systems. Both of these systems relate to our immune system, as autumn can also be a time for coughs, colds and flu, I want to introduce you to a powerful acupoint for your immune system - Large Intestine 11. Like all of acupoints it has many qualities.
• It is an important point for allergies, coughs, colds
• It is a major inflammation and immune boosting point
• It is The primary point for reducing fever and heat
• It is a powerful point for joint pain, especially the elbow and shoulder.
• It is one of the very best points for constipation
• It also helps us release sadness and negativity.
What a great point! Hold or rub Large Intestine 11 both sides of the body for a few minutes and give your body an energy treat!

While we are in Autumn, I also want to share with you an online class I am teaching at the end of October on the 28th - called Energy Answers.

(The image below is from Acupuncture Points Handbook by Deborah Bleecker and shows an easy way to locate Lung 7)

Lung 7 is a very comforting, it boosts our Lungs, immune system and breathing. It is great to help with coughing, whether that cough is due to a cold, allergy, flu or asthma. It also helps with lose of smell or nasal congestion. Lung 7 can stop a coughing fit almost instantly! (Ps - Lung 10 is also great to stop coughing)
Hold it both sides of the body for a couple of minutes, breath and relax!

“At her first period a girl meets her wisdom. Through her menstruating years she practices her wisdom and at menopause she becomes her wisdom”
Native American Saying

Menopause and beyond is a powerful often liberating time for a woman. Some women sail through perimenopause and menopause with little or no symptoms – while others are beset by hot flushes/flashes, insomnia, irritability, unexpected mood changes, loss of confidence, low libido, crippling anxiety and self-doubt, new aches and pains, weight gain and tiredness.
In the Mighty Menopause and Beyond we will be exploring how we can move into and through menopause with graceful ease and emerge ready to become and live our wisdom.

Whatever stage you are in the menopausal journey – whether it is yet to come, you are slap bang in the middle of it or it is almost a distant memory, this class is for YOU!

In the class:

• Learn simple, effective and quick techniques to balance our hormones and energy levels daily
• Boost Metabolism
• Learn how the 5 elements and the radiant circuits influence our menopausal journey
• Explore how menopause is one of the gates of life in Oriental Medicine
• We will examine autonomic dysregulation and the menopause
• I will share with you how the Heart/Kidney axis can be the root of many menopausal symptoms
• The chakra system and our hormonal health
• The menopause vibrational cabinet – crystals, flower remedies, essential oils and plants that support us through and beyond our menopause journey
• We will practice an energy protocol for managing menopause and beyond
• I will share with you the TOP acupressure points for managing many menopausal symptoms
• We will explore energy practices for menopausal insomnia, hot flushes, mood swings, water retention, irritability, weight control and more!

Menopause is a powerful transition into the wisdom of womanhood – I hope you can join me and explore the “Passage into Your Power”

Do you want to be an “effective energy detective?”
Are you curious about how you can use dowsing in energy healing work?
Do you want to know how to dowse “at a distance”?
Do you want to know how dowsing and energy/muscle testing are both the same and different?

I have worked with a pendulum for over 30 years and love it!

In this class:

• Learn how to be an accurate and confident dowser (even if you already dowse!) Working with a pendulum is a beautiful skill that will serve you in so many delightful, mysterious yet clear, grounded yet spiritual ways.
• Pendulum work is a direct route to our inner knowing, it increases our intuition, sensitivity and ability to know, recognise and work with energy.
• A pendulum not only allows you to assess energy flow in the aura, meridians and chakras but also how to influence that energy flow.
• A pendulum is a divination tool and also a healing tool – learn how
• Discover how “confidence” arcs increase YOUR dowsing confidence and accuracy
• Would you like to find out how a pendulum can sometimes be easier to work with than energy/muscle testing? And how it can also add to your existing “energy testing” skills/techniques
• Learn how with a pendulum you can fine tune choices about what are the “best” acupoints, essential oils, crystals, flower remedies etc for you or some else

Whether you are new to dowsing, or already dowse, whether you energy/muscle test, whether you want to learn more for self-care or to help others, this class that will open your eyes to the wonderful world of energy work with a pendulum!

Vagus Nerve Method by Kim Dowdell

Kim Dowdell offers teaching workshops on the Vagus Nerve Method, suitable for everyone, incorporating some of the body’s most powerful acupressure points for physical, emotional and spiritual health. On some workshops, Kim will be joined by Madison King. Maddie is the top European teacher for Donna Eden, author of Energy Medicine.

Kim is a qualified acupuncturist, cosmetic acupuncturist. Kim also has wide experience in the wellness field for over 20 years including crystal therapy, colour therapy, energy medicine, reflexology and shamanic soul retrieval. Kim established Vision for Living in 1995 and is the founder and director of the Cardiff Festival of Wellbeing.

The Vagus Nerve – The Missing link to Health, Connection and Intuition?

Often termed the Wanderer, The Vagus Nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body. It connects our Brain to our body and can be the missing link behind depression, anxiety, stress, weight gain, chronic fatigue, breathing disorders like asthma, heartburn, I.B.S. and digestive problems, memory, TMJ, chronic inflammation, fainting, mood disorders, B12 deficiency and seizures.

Remarkable research over the past 2 decades has revealed how important The Vagal Nerve is to the nervous system and the fight/flight, rest and repair and the freeze response.

It also has been termed the nerve of compassion and connection – stimulating telepathy, empathy, intuition and supports higher states of consciousness.

These new insights are also heralding the beginning of an exciting new field of treatment for Autism and Trauma recovery.

As a bridge between the Energetic and the Physical we will explore the multiple connections the Vagus Nerve makes within our body and energy systems and work with Energetic exercises and techniques, Acupuncture points and the Chakra system to increase our Vagal Tone:

The Vagus Nerve and the Chakras – a bidirectional message system

The Vagus Nerve and the breath – the fast track to Vagal tone

The Vagus Nerve and the Spleen meridian

Acupuncture points that positively impact Vagus Nerve functioning

The importance of the Aura and the Vagus Nerve

Language and the Vagus nerve

The Vagus Nerve, the Gut-Brain axis and Mental Health
