Now let’s take a closer look at each of these extraordinary energy systems one by one.

Meridians

In the way an artery carries blood, a Meridian carries energy. As the body's “energy bloodstream,” the Meridian system brings vitality and balance, removes blockages, adjusts metabolism, and even determines the speed and form of cellular change. The flow of the Meridian energy pathways is as critical as the flow of blood. Meridians affect every organ and every physiological system, including the immune, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, skeletal, muscular, and lymphatic systems. Each system is fed by at least one Meridian.

If a Meridian's energy is obstructed or unregulated, the system it feeds is jeopardized. The Meridians include 14 tangible channels that carry energy into, through, and out of your body. Your Meridian pathways also connect hundreds of tiny, distinct reservoirs of heat and electromagnetic energy along the surface of the skin. These are your acupuncture points, and they can be stimulated with needles or physical pressure to release or redistribute energy along the Meridian pathway.

Chakras

The word Chakra translates from Sanskrit as disk, vortex, or wheel. Each major chakra in the body is a concentrated center of swirling energy positioned at one of 7 points, from the base of your spine to the top of your head. Where the Meridians deliver their energy to the organs, the Chakras bathe the organs in their energies. Each Chakra supplies energy to specific organs, corresponds to a distinct aspect of your personality, and resonates (respectively, from the bottom to the top Chakra) with one of 7 universal principles having to do with survival, creativity, identity, love, expression, comprehension, or transcendence.

Your Chakras also code your experiences in their energies, just as memories are chemically coded in your neurons. An imprint of every emotionally significant event you have experienced is recorded in your Chakra energies. A sensitive practitioner's hand held over a Chakra may resonate with pain in a related organ, congestion in a lymph node, subtle abnormalities in heat or pulsing, areas of emotional turmoil, or even tune into a stored memory that might be addressed as part of the healing process.

Aura

Your Aura is a multi-layered shell of energy that radiates from your body and interacts with the energies of your environment. It is a protective atmosphere that surrounds you, filtering out many of the energies you come across and drawing in others that you need. Like a space suit, your Aura protects you from harmful energies and like a radio antenna, it brings in energies with which it resonates.

When you feel happy, attractive, and spirited, your Aura may fill an entire room. When you are sad, despondent, and somber, your Aura crashes in on you, forming an energetic shell that isolates you from the world. Some people’s Auras characteristically reach out and embrace you while others keep you out like an electric fence.

Grid

The Grid is your body’s foundational energy and it is generally sturdy. Like the chassis of a car, all the other energy systems ride on the energy of the basic Grid. For instance, when you are lying down, it would appear to someone who can see energies, like Donna, that each of your Chakras sits upon the Grid.

Severe trauma can damage and deform the Grid, and when this occurs, it does not usually repair itself spontaneously. Rather, the other energy systems adjust themselves to the damaged Grid, much as a personality may be formed around early traumatic experiences.Repairing a person’s basic Grid is one of the most advanced and intense forms of energy therapy.

Celtic Weave

The body’s energies spin, spiral, curve, twist, crisscross, and weave themselves into patterns of magnificent beauty. The equilibrium of this kaleidoscope of colors and shapes is maintained by an energy system known by different names to energy healers throughout the world. In the East, it has been called the "Tibetan energy ring." In yoga, it is represented by two curved lines that cross 7 times, symbolically encasing the 7 Chakras. In the West, it is seen in the caduceus, the intertwined serpents -- also crossing seven times -- found on the staff that is the symbol of the medical profession.

Donna uses the term Celtic Weave not only because she has a personal affinity with Celtic healing, but also because the pattern looks to her like the old Celtic drawings of a spiraling, sideways infinity sign, never beginning and never ending and sometimes forming a triple spiral. Like an invisible thread that keeps all the energy systems functioning as a single unit, the Celtic Weave networks throughout and around the body in spiraling figure-eight patterns. The double helix of our DNA is this pattern in microcosm.

Five Elements

Donna does not see the Five Elements as a separate energy but rather as a rhythm that runs through all the others, leaving its vibratory imprint on physical attributes, health patterns, and personality traits. Mapped out thousands of years ago by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, all of life was categorized into five "elements," "movements," or "seasons.” These energies were considered the building blocks of the universe, providing a basis for understanding how the world works, how societies organize themselves, and what the human body needs to maintain health.

Metaphors for describing these five distinct rhythms have been drawn from the elements of nature (water, wood, fire, earth, and metal) and from the seasons (winter, spring, summer, Indian summer, and autumn). Like the background music in a movie, an individual’s primary rhythm, in combination with the changing rhythms of life's seasons, influences and directs the body’s energy systems and sets an overall tone for life

Triple Warmer

Triple Warmer is the meridian that networks the energies of the immune system to attack an invader, and it mobilizes the body’s energies in an emergency for the fight-or-flight-or-freeze response. In carrying out these critical functions, it operates in ways that are so beyond the range of any other Meridian that some consider it a system unto itself!

Triple Warmer energies work in conjunction with the hypothalamus gland, which is the body’s thermostat. The hypothalamus is also the instigator of the body’s emergency response.

Like an army, the Triple Warmer activates during threat or perceived threat, coordinating all the other energy systems to trigger the immune response, govern the fight/flight/freeze mechanism, and establish and maintain habitual responses to threat.

Radiant Circuits

The Radiant Circuits ensure that all the other energy systems are working for the common good. They redistribute energies to where they are most needed, responding to any health challenge the body might encounter. In terms of evolution, the Radiant Circuits have been around longer than the Meridians.

Primitive organisms such as insects move their energies via the Radiant Circuits rather than through a Meridian system, and the Radiant Circuits can be seen in the embryo before the Meridians develop. Radiant Circuit energies operate as fluid fields, embodying a distinct spontaneous intelligence. Like hyperlinks on a website, they jump instantly to wherever they are needed, bringing revitalization, joy, and spiritual connection.

Electrics

The Electrics are an energy that appears to emerge from the electrical dimension of the other energy systems. They are not an independent energy system like the Meridians, Chakras, or Aura, but they are rather intimately related to all the major energy systems: separate from each but also an aspect of each, something like the way water is separate from yet part of each of your organs.

The Electrics serve as a bridge that connects all the energy systems at the basic level of the body's electricity. Donna usually has no idea what will occur when she first holds a person's Electric points. The energy goes where it is needed. There are reports of scar tissue being healed during an Electrics session, heart ataxia eliminated, a knee replacement operation avoided, and all manner of emotional trauma overcome.

Most important, in terms of whole-body healing, is the way the Electrics connect all the systems. If energy fields such as the Aura and Chakra align the organs and other energies by surrounding them, the Electrics move right through them, connecting and coordinating them at the tangible dimension of their electrical nature.
