Is your health controlled more by viruses—or by the environment you create in your body and mind? In this provocative episode, Eric Edmeades dives into the fascinating intersection of energy, health, and emotional immunity with bioenergetics pioneer Harry Massey. In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric discusses how our energy fields influence healing, the misunderstood roots of illness, and why supporting emotional immunity might be just as important as handwashing and distancing.
