Our guest today, Jill Blakeway, is a board certified acupuncturist and traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Our conversation dives into her new book, Energy Medicine: The Science and Mystery of Healing, a favorite of ours here at Almost 30!  We not only discuss how energy and reiki work on a spiritual level, but also the scientific research behind these healing modalities.Jill gives us a better understanding of foods’ energetic properties, our ability to self-heal, and the role sound and vibration play in healing. She teaches us an exercise you can do RIGHT NOW to help ground and protect your energy! Between Jill’s personal stories and the science-backed explanations, our belief in our ability to heal ourselves and promote healing in one another is more palpable than ever.  We also talk about:Combining Western medicine & Chinese medicineExpansiveness of love vs. contraction in fearEmotional injury causing stuck energyThe importance of breath work in healingThe energy transmitted to us through foodFind more to love at almost30podcast.com!Resources:Learn more: yinovacenter.com/
