About Sacred Intuitive Healing
A human being is part of the whole, called by us ‘universe’, a part limited in time and space. He experiences his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal decisions and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
- Albert Einstein
About Eve Soldinger
I was always sensitive and intuitive. As a child, my warm and loving family respected my perceptions and visions with a calm attitude. Because of their acceptance it took me a while to realize that everyone didn’t perceive the same things. I was told that I could always pray about whatever I perceived. But there was a darker side from my perspective. As a young teenager seeing people’s health and illness and problems was overwhelming; and not knowing when to say anything was equally overwhelming. There was a crucial point where I closed my vision down and wanted to live a ‘normal’ life.
I walked on the bridges toward normal. I did what other young adults did of my generation and went to college, became politically and socially active, explored spiritual paths. I wanted to contribute to change and worked with organizations helping to provide health care and health information to people. By the time I was 24 I had a degree in Public Health from Columbia University. I graduated, worked with organizations, and helped write papers mostly on women and health. And just as I was making some headway, I discovered acupuncture.
From the moment I started acupuncture school it was clear that it would require all parts of me. My understanding of how the world works changed and my perceptions of how I looked at people and could understand them totally shifted. The connection of spirit and body was central to my understanding. Understanding spirit had been the missing piece about working to facilitate change. And I no longer needed to keep a lid on my natural intuitive abilities. My heart opened. I knew I am guided. And I still knew when to pray.
Along my path, I studied with various healers including the foremost authorities in Chinese Medicine, profound and wise energy healers, meditation teachers of many traditions, and indigenous healers and spiritual leaders in the Americas. The place that all the modalities converge is that the greatest teacher is nature, and our relationship with it, and its natural rhythms and flows. Through the flow of the five elements as in Chinese Medical theory, we see how one element flows and generates movement to the next element, ultimately creating and establishing unity. Using the learning and knowledge has been a journey toward understanding myself, the nature of human existence, and the healing possibilities in every moment.
I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to teach in many Acupuncture and Acupressure colleges throughout the country. In the 1990s I was a Clinical Supervisor at the Traditional Acupuncture Institute in Columbia, Maryland (now called MUIH). I taught a course on Five Element Acupuncture at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco, California. I am a faculty member at the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture in Gainesville, Florida. I have been faculty for the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley, California. I also have taught in collaboration with Amy Skezas through RoseLight. At present, I teach in Washington DC and travel throughout the U.S. leading workshops on different aspects of the healing arts, especially Medical Qigong.
I also maintain a private practice in Washington, DC and Silver Spring, MD and I teach Qigong several times a week. For more information on local services and classes please go to www.evesoldinger.com.
