  So when you hear the phrase energy medicine, what do you think?

• 00:10

  If you're like me, maybe you're sort of like halfway curious, halfway open, and halfway skeptical.

• 00:19

  And you've read and heard a lot of different things about what it is and is not, whether it's real or entirely fake.

• 00:26

  Which is why I was really excited to be able to sit down in today's conversation with Jill Blakeway.

• 00:33

  So Jill is actually the author of a book called energy the Science and Mystery of Healing.

• 00:39

  She's also a doctor of acupuncture medicine, and she has spent a lot of years studying both the clinical practice of healing, of acupuncture, of herbology, and also with a heavy emphasis on western medicine as well, and where the two meet.

• 00:58

  And she has taken a really deep dive into also trying to understand what is happening underneath these different modalities.

• 01:06

  Is there science behind it?

• 01:08

  Can we actually talk about this thing called energy?

• 01:11

  Can we give it a name and a background and measure it in some way that will allow us to understand it, to describe it, to really understand how it works and relates to different people, and in a certain way, also understand it on a level that will allow other people to access it, harness it.

  But to even get there, we need to actually believe in it.

• 01:35

  That is part of the journey that we go on in this conversation, along with Jill's deeply personal narrative, because she did not start out in this world or as somebody who was incredibly open to it.

• 01:46

  In fact, she came up from a sort of profoundly different background in the UK.

• 01:50

  Really excited to share this conversation with you.

  I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.

  I have been sort of a longtime student of and fascinated by the relationship between the mind body and the exploration of, however you want to phrase it, energy, you know, like radiating from within, through and between people, and probably on some level, what I would call a, I wouldn't say a skeptic, but I'm always looking for, can we in some way explain these things in a way that the rational mind will grasp?

• 02:37

  Although in truth, the older I get, the less I'm looking for those explanations and the more I just experience it is real.

• 02:44

  But you have had a fascinating sort of story and exploration of this entire world.

• 02:49

  I want to dive deep into that.

• 02:51

  Before we do, let's spend a little bit of time exploring how you got there.
