THE YOGA HOUR TEAM COMMENTS: Lauren Walker presented clear and easy to understand explanations of how we all have access to heal ourselves when we understand and embrace the fact that all life is made up of energy and we can learn to use that energy to heal ourselves of stress and trauma. Lauren reminds us that Yoga is about the use of energy through using the breath/prana and postures/ asana as well as directing the flow of our own consciousness. She draws on ancient healing teachings from around the world to offer many approaches to healing. I loved her simple explanation about how stress, injury and trauma become blocks to the natural flow of our energy and then she offers easy practices to help heal and open all channels of energy in our body in order to live more vibrant lives.
DR. TRUJILLO’S COMMENTS: I really enjoyed our conversation about Lauren Walker’s book The Energy to Heal. She is doing very unique work in combining yoga practices like postures (asana) and breathing techniques (pranayama) with energy work. Lauren has a lovely way of making energy work accessible to everyone, helping us to realize that we already do things to adjust our energy, like rubbing our temples when we have a headache. I appreciated our conversation about what causes energy blocks in the body: as she said, “Life”, including stress, trauma, toxins, emotions, pain, or patterns of muscle tension. We reviewed several simple techniques for people to work with their energy, things that are easy to do and that can make a difference. We truly all do have the energy to heal within ourselves, and can help our bodies to use that energy more efficiently.
