FAQs: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 What is Inner Energy Health?
Inner Energy Health is custom, mind-body treatment for improving and strengthening your well-being, energy and emotional health.  It works by rebalancing your flow of energy and removing blocks to it. 

 What are energetic blocks?
Electromagnetic current pulses throughout our bodies including our minds. This is not ‘woo-woo', but is supported by findings in the broadening field of bio-energetic medicine. Our sensitive energy flow can become disrupted by many things creating a kind of energetic ‘short circuit'.  It might be caused by some kind of sudden upset, radiation exposure or insult to the body. This imbalance causes the development of negative thoughts, limiting beliefs, intrusive memories, physical complaints and similar.  We are all subject to developing energetic blocks if we are alive and living! 

 How do I get rid of these blocks?
There are many possibilities.  It may be through tapping, holding or massaging acupressure points, biofields or energy centers.  It may be facilitated through supervised emotional release, or it might be a combination of these and other approaches.

 What do you do in an Inner Energy Health session?
There is no ‘one size fits all' approach other than to listen carefully to the client's issue(s) at the start of the session, before treating.  Often, kinesiolgical testing and balancing is performed at the beginning to ensure maximum and long-lasting benefit. Since my approach is quite eclectic there is the possibility of using a variety of methods.  Together, in consultation with the client, I use choose the modality best suited to the individual's need.  Please see my page on ‘Tools & Methods'.

 Can you teach self-maintenance skills?
Most definitely!  This is usually needed for doing your homework!

 Does having an energetic block explain why I become impatient with my kids? 
It may have a lot to do with it, but we are still beings of free choice and can choose our deliberate actions, even when the challenge is greater.  Inner Energy Health addresses both voluntary and involuntary behavior.

 Is the client active or passive during treatment sessions?
Generally speaking the client is an active participant, with a few exceptions.

 Do these methods work with children?
Often exceptionally well.  A thorough private discussion with the parent is required first.  Care is taken in treating even the most sensitive issues. The child can be treated without pressure to talk directly about their issue unless they so wish.

 Where did you get your training
My methods are varied and I received my training through numerous avenues.  Please refer to my Tools & Methods page for a listing of all the modalities in which I am formally trained and/or certified.

 Do your methods have Rabbinic approval?
All methods used in Inner Energy Health are either specifically endorsed or fall into approved categories endorsed by orthodox/charedi rabbis (often several). In addition, I and my practice have personally received rabbinical endorsement from Rav Daniel Kohn of Bat Ayin, with whom I am acquainted and who is well versed in holistic and alternative treatments. (Haskama available upon request.)

 How long are treatment sessions?  How frequently would I need to go and for how long a period of time?   
Treatment sessions generally run from 1-1 ¼ hours, meeting once and occasionally twice per week.  In many cases improvement is experienced in one or two sessions.  Although it would be sheer speculation to generalize about the duration for the entire treatment, the methods I use are generally considered to produce faster results compared with conventional therapies.

 Are results long lasting?
In general what ever has been successfully treated, remains treated.  However related aspects to the original presenting issue may require further attention.

One last word . . .
The mishnah relates on B'midbar 21 that the power of life and death did not lie in the powers of the serpent but rather in beni Yisrael's reliance upon HaShem to heal them.  As a practitioner I feel it my responsibility (in as much as I am able), to ‘lie low' and make myself an agent through which HaShem's healing can flow. On the client's part, lies the responsibility to petition HaShem for well-being, recognizing that HaShem's healing occurs through whatever means He chooses.
