Energy Medicine for Modern Times: Healing with the Seasons

In the latest Step 2 Wellness episode, Dr. J and Mei welcomed holistic practitioner and educator Gail VanKanegan for an inspiring discussion on energy, healing, and seasonal balance. As autumn settles in and the frost begins to form, the trio explored how we can align our inner rhythm with the cycles of nature. Gail began by reminding us that our energy fields are deeply connected to the earth’s changes. Just as trees release their leaves, we too can let go of old patterns and emotions that no longer serve us. Healing, she explained, begins with awareness—tuning into how our body feels and honoring what it needs in each moment. The conversation touched on energy medicine, self-regulation, and grounding techniques to restore balance. Gail encouraged listeners to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with the earth’s stabilizing energy. “We’re constantly exchanging energy with everything around us,” she shared. “When we bring awareness to that, we empower our healing.” Dr. J and Mei reflected on how healing is a lifelong journey rather than a destination. The two emphasized the value of taking small, consistent actions—“one step and one bite at a time”—to build sustainable wellness habits. Whether it’s through mindfulness, nourishing food, or time in nature, each choice contributes to our whole-person health. As the seasons change, this conversation offers a gentle reminder: wellness isn’t just physical—it’s energetic, emotional, and spiritual. When we learn to listen to our energy and move in harmony with the natural world, we cultivate resilience, clarity, and peace. Wtach on Youtube: https://youtube.com/live/0irJX5iWUQg
