A YouTube video (Vishen Lakhiani, Feb 8, 2017) featuring Donna Eden leading live demonstrations of "energy medicine." Eden uses a small Radio Shack magnet to show "north" and "south" effects on a volunteer (Carol), explains magnets' effects on cells and meridians, references brain magnetite and homing pigeons, uses light touch/muscle-testing to locate places where energy is "stuck" (near joints), and leads a group breathing and arm-stretching exercise intended to move stagnant energy, help prevent illness (cold/flu), and relieve pain or stiffness.

Is there anybody here who's kind of skeptical and who needs to be shown? Are you okay? Come on up. We are so electromagnetic that I don't need a compass to find out which is the north and south side of a magnet. I can find it out on you. Okay. And you hold your arm real strong. You're real strong. What's your name?
Carol. Carol.
Carol. Okay, now you. You agree first? Yes. You're strong.
I'm strong.
Okay. I'm going to take this magnet. This is just a little Radio Shack magnet. It's not strong. It's not a powerful magnet, but I love this strength because it won't hurt you. You know, every time you use a magnet, if you use magnet for healing in any way, it moves your energy. So you don't want anything super strong. You want something just enough to move your energy. But I'm going to put it above your ear there and hold. That's the north side of the magnet. Because the north side pulls energy out of the extremities. I turn it over and there's the south side, and that's human beings. I mean, that's how we are. Just turned it over to the north side. Do you believe? Okay.
Okay.
I'll do something more to you. Okay. But that's a real valuable thing to get. That's just how electromagnetic we are. I mean, it's amazing.
You usually think of the body as being mostly water and flesh, and you don't think of it. Magnets are for horseshoes, not for bodies, because the magnet won't stick to your body. But you have so much. Every cell is a little battery. Every cell has a positive and negative side, so that a magnet affects us. And it actually sends energy through our electromagnetic pathways or our meridians to have a magnet. So that little exercise or demonstration is very important for understanding how having the north side, what the north side does. It's not that it was bad for you. It's the side that made you weak. What it does is it pulls energy towards it, so it pulls energy out. And there's times when that's really valuable clinically. When there is pain, there is too much energy has accumulated. So you put the north side of the magnet there. It will take that energy away, reduce the pain and let the body heal, whereas the south side disperses energy. So that's why it made you strong. But there are times when you don't want that. Like if there is something wrong, like if someone has a tumor, you don't want to give that tumor more energy. So there's a science to how to use magnets. So that's. Can I say one other thing, which is that in the brain there's what is called magnetite, which are these little molecule sized magnets essentially. And some animals have a higher concentration than humans and it's believed that is why they have better sense of direction. So guess what animal has the absolute highest concentration of magnetite in their brain? Homing pigeons. Okay. That's how they navigate is through that. Some people have fairly good senses of directions and the belief is that they have more magnetite. Some of us who wound up on the Pacific Ocean and said the bay, this is good.
He's really bad at it. Okay, okay, let me just look at you for a second. Okay. So you've got some really nice energy, but I'm going to show you something. You hold your arm real strong. She's real strong in a whole lot of places. I can touch her here, she's fine. I can touch her here, she's fine. I can touch her here. You're fine. Now I'm going to touch you some places and you hold with all your might. You don't let me do this, but I'm just going to use one finger. Okay. Is that my thyroid? Well, it moves back. The energy from your thyroid moves over to there. Yes. And then at your elbow and at your wrist and at your waist and at your knee and at your ankle.
Okay.
Okay. Now I promise you there's lots of places you're strong, but those places, they're actually most of them were near a joint or something, something that would bend. And so what I was looking at is to see where your energy was getting stuck. This is a great exercise just to let energy go. And this is really a prevention for arthritis or if you're just feeling stagnant and energy isn't flowing. This is really good. Or if you're just starting to feel sick or just starting to get the flu or just starting to get a cold, if you do this fast, you could probably nip it in the bud and not get it at all because it makes energy move out of your body. So I'm going to make everyone, or ask, I'm going to ask everyone to stand up. Okay. Okay. We're going to face them and you're going to lead them. Ok. Rub your hands together and shake them off and put your hands on your thighs and take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Now have your arms come around like this in a kind of prayerful position. Now you're going to stretch up to the heavens and down to the earth with one arm up, one arm down. Flatten them, look up, hold your breath. And the other one down. The other one. Yeah. And then let your breath out and come back down and up the other way. And this time, when you let your breath out, you're just going to bend over and hang and do two deep breaths here. And then just roll the energy all the way up your body and reach up as high as you can, and then let your arms down slow, slowly. Okay, you guys can sit down and let me just check you out now. So we're going to check those places that I touched before where she lost energy. So now next to your neck and your elbow and your wrist and your waist and your knee and your ankle healed. So again, that's if you've got stagnant energy. If you find that you just can't get your energy moving, that's a great one to do. All right, thank you.
