**Silver Medal Nautilus Book Awards Winner** **Finalist in 2023 International Book Awards** Learn how to connect to your own good medicine and discover the powerful energy healing that will bring authentic wellness, health, hope, and joy into your life. Hilary Crowley is the resident energy healer at a general family medical center in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Working alongside surgeons, physicians, nurses, and holistic practitioners, she uses energy medicine modalities and hands-on techniques to facilitate her clients' healing. In this book, Hilary sheds light on questions surrounding energy medicine by sharing stories from cases including cancer battles, suicide attempts, and chronic pain. She shares how to find healing through the good medicines in your own cabinet: things like connection, grace, forgiveness, creativity, and more. In a healthcare system that has become increasingly focused on specialization and treating specific ailments or organs, the concepts of energy medicine and treating the whole patient are, unfortunately, often lost. Hilary aims to revolutionize the conversation about our body and spirit in the healthcare industry by speaking directly to patients and medical providers. Our bodies have the power to heal, and simply need guidance and awareness to access this vital energy for prevention and recovery. Through practical insights, inspiring stories, and thoughtful questions posed to the reader, this book is more than a guide to energy healing; it offers you the key to unlocking your good medicine cabinet and discovering holistic health and wellbeing. "Hilary Crowley’s book is my absolute favorite kind: warm and wise, as entertaining as it is enlightening. I loved getting an insider’s view of what energy medicine is and how it’s practiced—while receiving its gifts. Each word of this insightful book felt like a healing arrow. Crowley’s journey at times brought to mind the work of Caroline Myss and Martha Beck, but the fresh, original voice is all her own. Brava!" —Alethea Black, author of You’ve Been So Lucky Already and I Knew You’d Be Lovely "Assured and powerful, Hilary Crowley’s voice in mainstream integrative medicine takes us on an unexpected and exhilarating journey immersed in the world of energy healing. . . . A better guide into this field couldn’t be found!" —Lauren Walker, author of Energy Medicine Yoga and The Energy Medicine Yoga Prescription " The Power of Energy Medicine is a captivating gift of authenticity and wisdom giving each of us insight into the sacred work of energy healing. By intimately describing her client sessions and experiences, Hilary invites her readers to open their minds and hearts to their own transformations. Inspiring, revealing, and moving, we are guided to broaden our awareness and understanding of . . . enlightenment." —Sally Gallot-Reeves MSM, RN, CPM, CCM, author of Behind the Open Door and Between Shifts Hilary Crowley discovered the healing arts as the grandchild of three doctors.

Introduction Alone in this world, each of us carried our personal medicines. Long ago we came together, and one of us in each tribe carried the medicine. The remedies were in sacks and satchels. The memories of generations of healing wisdom existed in the heart and the mind of the medicine person. Now, our tribes are too big to hold us together; we are alone again.

The remedies were revealed as my prescription for health for myself and for the ones who work with me. I’ve gathered them together for you in this book. I found medicine bottles in the doctor’s bag my grandmother carried to her patients’ house calls. The bottles seemed empty at first. They are full of knowing and remembering that I belong to a family who has held the medicine for the tribe. Take what you need from these pages, refill these bottles, and reclaim your own healing. Maybe you want to carry the medicine, too. Energy medicine in health care has become more popular since I began my practice. As I prepared to explain this to a new client, Dr. Chase, a leading surgeon in the Boston area, it occurred to me that it was no longer necessary to say this is a h
