Energy Healing Books

Delightful material, well written. Mr. Angelo does a fantastic job in relating his experiences with this Hands on treatment modality. I really enjoyed my time and was sorry to finish, as I felt I had a good friend during the time I shared with Mr. Angelo.

If you are interested in spiritual or energetic healing, this is a must-have reference. Well-written, clear, brings the subject into finite, manageable terms accessible to all. I have bought many books on energy healing and spiritual healing methods, and this is the best I've found so far.

Please note: Both this book and Hands-on healing are the same, just the title has been changed.

This is a must for anyone really interested in self-healing and healing others.
A real step by step guide with lots of exercises of great value.
Thank you Jack.

Jack Angelo explains the principal and technique behind hands on healing using a series of exercises. This book is very well illustrated and a must for anyone interested in healing of any type.

I am a massasge therapist and Reiki Master who uses Reiki everyday in my practice. I have found A History and Understanding Of Reiki by David Smith to be an invaluable tool in my practice. The book is well written and very factual. I find it very easy to use as both a reference and a guide in my practice. Every time I pick the book up I find reinforcement and a better understanding of the workings of Reiki.

Rev. David Smith has taken the time to write a book that anyone can understand about Reiki an incredible healing concept. Capturing the complex idea of universal healing energy channeled through us for the higher good in a simple and concise way is refreshing to read.

Thank you Rev. Smith

Namaste,

Reiki is a gentle hands-on healing method. "A History and Understanding of Reiki" gives an excellent history of Reiki, how it works, the different types of Reiki, and how we have it in its current form today. It is well written, and is easy to read and follow. As a Reiki practitioner I value this book for its in depth, well researched material. If you want to understand what Reiki is, and how we got it, this is the book for you.

I was privileged to get an advanced copy of this book. The author began with a simple attempt at elucidating and defining a mystical practice and has ended up with a full blown primer on the art that is called "Reiki." I am a student of comparative religions and this has become a staple in my library/archive.

What I like the most about this book is the matter of fact approach the author has used. I have several books on Eastern mysticism and religions and one can't get to the core of the subject due to the surplus of theory and lofty vocabulary that is there for no other reason than pad the tome. Not so with this work.

After reading this book, I actually learned a great deal. For me that is the greatest reward. 5 stars - Hands down!

I believe that Mr. Chia's book is the clearest explanation of the legendary Iron Shirt technique (and how to train it) ever presented in written form. Ignore some of the new-age froo-froo stuff and dig into the meat of the book. It's all there...the real information you've been seeking.

still going thru this book; takes a while to get the principles down; learn something every time i read it.

As a practitioner of old style Yang tai chi I found this book invaluable in extending my knowledge of iron shirt chi gung. Technically, tai chi can be considered a combination of medium and small circle martial chi gung, but it also includes a lot of iron shirt practices as well. Essentially a form of Taoist yoga, it is finally being discovered and is receiving the attention it deserves in the west. Whether you ascribe to the more esoteric aspects of chi theory or not, the physical and and health benefits of iron shirt chi kung are substantial and can be enjoyed by anyone willing to put some effort into it. Overall, a fine book and worth your time and money.

Iron shirt chi kung is a must for every martial artist. The author explains in detail how to apply rooting to the ground, how to apply abdominal breathing, why is an upright positioning important and why only from a relaxed body and mind one can generate maximum power.
Excellent book!

I have been reading books about Kundalini for over 30 years--starting with my own Kundalini experience--and Philip St Romain's book is one of the best I have had the pleasure to read. It is particularly helpful to bewildered people who were not seeking Kundalini, or did not know what it was until it awakened in them. And that it is from a Christian perspective gives it even greater weight, making it literally a godsend to Christians experiencing this spiritual phenomenon found in all spiritual traditions, but not always understood within the Christian world.

Philip St Romain's humility throughout the book gives it greater credibility and lets the reader vicariously enjoy the experience. This is one of the most helpful Kundalini books I have ever read. I would recommend it to anyone undergoing a Kundalini awakening, and anyone interested in this evolutionary energy that is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood.

I want to call the attention of people interested in kundalini to this excellent, not-so-well-known short book. The author is a balanced and responsible scholar of world religions and of the physiological aspects of the kundalini experience;he is also oriented in Western psychological understanding. He recounts his own dramatic experience, which arose out of prayer practice, and then shares the broad and sophisticated understanding of it he developed through study and practice.

An accomplished book which starts with the specific manifestation of the authors kundalini symptoms and works toward embedding it in a larger and essentially new framework of spiritual maturation. The description of symptoms are accurate, detailed and very useful for comparative purposes of telling whether you are undergoing the process. The impersonal speculations about physical mechanisms that drive kundalini are interesting. St. Romain treats the entire episode with reverence, respect and awe. It was and remains a valuable appraisal of Grace for a (western) world desperately in need of new models for consciousness and aging.

I have read about 200 books related to Kundalini. This one is serious, goes to the core of the subject, and shows clarity of mind.

I started reading about Kryon when the first book came out. I have remained a fan and have read every book and channeling throughout the years. Kryon offers a positive message of hope that helps the reader to make sense of the chaos in the world and still remain optimistic about the future. I consider myself to be what he calls a "lightworker" striving to make the world a better place. His books have been like a shining beacon to help me on my spiritual path.

I felt like I had come home when I read this book. I have a friend who has read all of the Kryon material and said that she quit her Zen Buddhism practice of 25 years after she read this first book, but I still wasn't impressed enough to read even one of them. I figured it was some new age BS. So, while I was killing time at the local library, I found this one in among their new books and picked it up. It is SO compelling, the message that Kryon gives. And the message is that we ALL are in this together (all religions, all peoples), and we all are here because we have a job to do, to be "Lighthouses." I'll let other reviewers discuss that more, but what I have to tell you is that my constant worry (OMG, what do I think about the war in Iraq? OMG why did the Tsunami happen? OMG, what was the reason for 9-11? OMG, what about this drought, and will we have to sell off all our cows? Worry, worry, worry. I've been good at worrying), anyway, all of the worry just went away. I felt as if I had been spoken to by a higher power and told that it was all okay. So I read parts of this book to my daughter, who is living in LA and hates it there and is constantly worried about the fires, the floods, etc., but is trying to work in the music business, and her quiet response was, and remains, weeks later, "Mom, I've quit worrying." Anyway, I highly recommend this book.

Lifting the Veil: The New Energy Apolocalypse (Kryon)
This book is Book 11 in the Kryon Series. If you are wondering about all the changes happening on our planet with our weather, the status in the East and Iran, why you are here, this book will give you a different prespective on things.

If you are wondering about the here and now and your purpose for being on Planet Earth at this time consider reading all of the Kryon Books; it will give you ideas for thinking differently. Bottom line is you make up your own mind.

I have read all of the 10 Kryon Books and am presently reading Book 11. I look forward to the next one coming out.

This was the second Kryon book I read, directly following "Letters From Home", Book 7. I found this book to be a tad condescending to anyone already familiar with this type of prospective. It's hard to explain why, but it seems like this book was written/channeled more for the beginner... or for the Jews.
This book emphasized a lot on the Jews, their situation, and sending light to Jerusalem. There are a lot of current events mentioned as well, such as 9/11, the war in Iraq, and all the happenings in the holy land. Kryon tells us that these are all spiritual events and that we are on the right path and based on the potentials in 2005 (When most channellings took place), we are still doing well.
I recommend this book to everyone. It gives a lot of insight into what is going on in the world, what 2012 means, and who you really are.

Reviewed by Cherie Fisher for Reader Views (8/08)

Are you one of those people who are thinking about living a more spiritual life but do not know how to go about it? Then this book is definitely for you. A person new to the spiritual path as well as a person already well into their journey would benefit from reading this book. The author knows the topic well as she has spent the last thirty years studying the subject.

The author, Chariss K. Walker, truly understands that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. God wants to give us what we want but it is our humanness that often precludes us from asking the right way for something or understanding God s response when it is given. The first section of the book lays the foundation of spirituality by exploring what spiritual laws really are.

The second section of the book delves into the different spiritual laws. These fourteen laws include the laws of oneness, vibration, attraction, action and very importantly the law of forgiveness. It is very important to read and understand all of the laws as they build upon each other.

The third section explores how to put the spiritual laws into practice. This can be done through prayer, meditation, thanksgiving and visualization to name just a few. A combination of these practices will also strengthen what you are looking to accomplish. Chapter Thirty was particularly valuable as it discusses how this information can be beneficial to you.

I really enjoyed every aspect of this book. The author's approach was easy to read and comprehend; it drew me in from the first page to the very end. The quotes and affirmations used were inspiring and relevant to the topic at hand. Make a Joyful Noise" by Chariss K. Walker is an excellent resource for anyone who is on the spiritual path or contemplating it.

Chariss Walker's new book, Make a Joyful Noise , is aptly described in the subtitle: Searching for a Spiritual Path in a Material World: A Book of Hope. Ms. Walker's goal is clearly to help individuals sail a straighter course through today's seas of spiritual confusion and improve their lives. While Make a Joyful Noise has a very strong Deist and Christian focus and relies heavily upon biblical wisdom and direction, Walker does make an effort to be as inclusive as possible within those parameters, and stresses at several points in the text the need to respect the faith of others. As it says on the jacket: "Chariss Walker uses liberal Biblical references to explain Spiritual Laws, their relevance in your life and how to put them into practical use without destroying your present convictions." She is also spiritually eclectic in her selection of fine quotes throughout the book, including for example, snippets of Zen Buddhist wisdom, and a quote from the Bhagavad-Gita.

Distilling the wisdom of the ages into an easy to understand self-help book on spiritual growth is an extraordinarily ambitious task, and that makes it interesting to see how she goes about it. And Ms. Walker does take an interesting approach, marshaling her personal beliefs to shape and buttress the text, but also striving to be inclusive and allow for some imaginative flexibility as she strives to create a book which will appeal to those whose faiths may differ subtly or substantially from her own.

She proceeds toward by this goal by identifying herself and her prospective readers as "seekers," and by laying out a series of Spiritual Laws which each seeker is invited to follow. These laws, each encompassing a mini-chapter, include the laws of Oneness, Vibration, Attraction, Polarity, Action, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, Asking and Receiving, Increase, Compensation, Transmutation, Relativity, Reciprocation, and Forgiveness. These laws, she believes, are anchored in science and natural law as well as God's will. The laws are supplemented with examples from real life and a large number of intriguing quotes. After describing the laws and the principles behind them, she provides seekers with a toolkit for moving forward. The tools include: Prayer, Meditation, Thanksgiving, Praise, Affirmations, Visualization, Dreams, Miracles, Light of The World, and Angels.

This book is worth reading just for the rich treasury of quotes it contains. In addition to many passages from the Bible, Ms. Walker cites diverse religious texts as well as a huge array of quotes from an amazing assortment of individuals, including: Aristotle, James Baldwin, Maya Angelou, Albert Einstein, Muhammad Ali, Billy Graham and Pliny the Elder. Joyful Noise concludes with two appendices: one containing a glossary of terms and one containing a list of recommended reading. Finally a set of endnotes provides a profusion of web links for those who would like to pursue some of these topics on the internet.

Individuals, especially Christians, interested in seeking a clearer path to spiritual growth are sure to enjoy this thoughtful and serious book.

What an inspiration! Chariss Walker illustrates for us The Spiritual Laws and how we can put them into practice. Quotes of wisdom from biblical and other sources support her points and are supremely motivational! This is one book to read over and over again....

"What you desire to receive is the very thing you should give away." ~ pg. 111

"Make a Joyful Noise" is an intriguing book that will be appreciated by seekers looking for ways to live a more spiritual life. Chariss K. Walker has studied sacred texts for over thirty years and she presents biblical references to back up all her wonderful insights. She believes that we are divine beings of light having an earthly experience.

On this earth journey there is much to learn and many spiritual laws to take into consideration. Chariss K. Walker presents laws that deal with oneness, vibration, attraction, polarity, action, rhythm, cause and effect, asking and receiving, increase, compensation, transmutation, relativity, reciprocation and forgiveness.

The last third of the book is even more interesting with topics as diverse as dream interpretation and auras. After reading how to see my aura's color I was able to see a light green aura around my fingertips. This section of the book also explores prayer, meditation, praise, thanksgiving, visualizations, miracles and angels.

What I liked most about this book is the way it is written. While reading it is as if you are having a conversation with a trusted friend or advisor. In each chapter you may also discover something about yourself. What are your motivations when you make a request in prayer? I had never thought about the motivation behind the request but now that I understand how to pray more effectively I will definitely use the new information to see my prayers answered in new ways. There is also a great discussion about how your spoken words and thoughts can powerfully affect your life for the better. Your thoughts literally become your reality. This book will not only put you on a more spiritual path, it will help you realize your dreams.

"Make a Joyful Noise" is also filled with inspirational quotes and affirmations. The affirmations are especially helpful to encourage positive results in your life. I wrote out nine of the affirmation that I thought would help me in my life and I intend to read them often. Here is one example: "I now attract whatever is good, lovely, and peaceful in my life."

I have rarely enjoyed a book so much, this book is truly a comfort to the soul. The only disagreement I have with the author is about the existence of hell. She has chosen to ignore those verses in the bible while relying on many other verses to prove her points.

~The Rebecca Review

I turned to Judith's book because of her Healing Tao background. I've practiced HT methods for 6+ years & was still feeling an immense energy drain or assault around certain people, places & circumstances. HT focuses mostly on the internal workings & organ energies but falls short I feel on the relationship that takes place in the energy fields between places & people.

Judith's book brings forth a positive & light approach & style that will introduce or remind you of the intricate relationship of energy that goes on all around us at all times. These interactions are not always positive for all parties involved often leaving the open or sensitive one feeling drained,sick or any myriad of other disharmonious feelings. This book helps you to realize & practice setting your boundaries & gaining more choice of what happens to your energy aound others. It's packed with practical excercises to help get you in touch with a deeper dimension of reality. Thank you Judith! I look forward to your next book :)

This is a great guide for beginning to learn grounding, that is, connecting body and soul to earth energy. Illustrations are practical and fun and provide a direction in experiencing these wonderful methods. I recommend this for all personal self-care libraries!!

Judith Poole has produced a remarkable piece of work that enables the reader to understand and work consciously with the multitudes of energy systems that we are so much a part of. Her personal annecdotes reminded me of so many experiences of my own, where I became physically uncomfortable in crowds for apparently no reason. I carry this little jewel every where I go, now. It will be a constant source of referral for you.

Why do you feel exhausted around some people, and energized around others? What is that pain in your back trying to tell you? Why is it as important to cleanse your aura as it is your physical body? Judith Poole addresses Poole has given us an excellent introduction to the "invisible" world around us, and how it affects us--whether or not we are aware of it! Her descriptions are easy enough for the general reader to understand, but not condescending. The advanced energy worker may also find new information here. She also provides easy exercises to help learn mastery of this--to many--unknown realm. This book will be invaluable to students and teachers of energy alike. I recommend it to all of my Shamballa/Reiki students.

Kathy Pike's Pathways to a Radiant Self is an excellent workbook and guide for self-growth and development. It is an interactive book providing the reader with the basics of the Chakra system and how it applies to you. It is concise, clear and very easy to comprehend the teaching and the concepts of the 7 major energy centers in the body.

Kathy provides assessments to assist one in exploring the energy level in each chakra along with rich text to help us to understand the purpose of the energy in each chakra. She guides the reader on personal journey of self-exploration. Each chapter focuses on a different chakra, helping us to understand the essence of the energy center and includes charts to help the reader discover signs of imbalance and balance along with activities to explore and powerful questions to journal with. All of these activities support the reader in recognizing where their energy may be blocked and provides them with action steps to bring more awareness and vitality into their body allowing them to create and manifest exactly what they want in their life.

I continue to use Pathway's to a Radiant Self in all of Body Wisdom workshops and retreats. It is a wonderful tool and remarkable guide.

Using this workbook and the activities it offers has changed my life dramatically. In the past two years, I have gone through this book six or more times. Everytime I uncover another layer of lessons and changes to be made.

Using the model of the chakra system provides insights that are right on target when combined with by body's sensations as basic directional information. I have seen more abundance in my business, been able to work in the FLOW of life, achieved more balance, opened myself to deeper love and connections, spoken up and asked for what I want and need, and been able to remember my dreams and learn from them for the first time.

All these changes are a result of this material and working the activities Kathy Pike suggests to shift the individual chakra energy and open the system to more movement both up and down. I did not have to spend time and money to understand the issues or problems in my head. I simply noticed and understood my body and what it was telling me and began doing intentional activities which moved the energy.

If you do healing work and you need to understand the body part of that work, this book is the ticket.

The Pathways to a Radiant Self book is a great tool for anyone who wants to know themselves at a deep level. Kathy Pike helps the average person understand the power of the seven energy centers (or chakras) and how to put these resources into action for their well being. She not only helps the reader understand where each energy center is and how it manifests itself, she provides a variety of tools that the reader can use for their own emotional and physical healing. The reader has assessments to measure how their energy is currently around each of the chakras, meditaions for aligning that energy and journal work for continuing their growth and awareness. It is a very user-friendly book that I find myself exploring over and over again.

A great self discovery tool unlike most self-help books out there. It is a comprehnsive guide to the ancient Indian system of chakras. Each chapter contains indepth information about a chakra including revealing assessments to help you begin to make your own body mind connections, questions for journal work, and even meditations that help you engage with your own energy. Not only have I used the book as a tool for myself, I also use it with my coaching clients. This is NOT a one time read. You'll keep this book by your side as you learn how to use the chakras to help heal and develop yourself in mind, body and spirit.

I start this review with a warning. A true one. Never, ever, ever, start penta without consulting with an epicon before. That could cost you and your close ones more trouble than you probably imagine. Penta is for veteran conscienciologist. However, anyone can read this book and get informed, it's an excellent read.
This book is a good companion to beginers or veteran practitioners of PENTA. However if you are not familiar with the International Academy of Consciousness (...) through at least an introductory course you might find this book quite confusing because it requires some conceptual background.

Bear in mind as well that the writing style is enciclopedia-like and confusing for the beginer, but once you get used to it you see it's a very effective way of organizing knowledge.

Although the book takes a very specific focus on a particular practice it allows you to deduce much between the lines.After getting used to the strange, not very pretty style of the book it becomes a source of information which falls into the category of "Everything you have always wanted to know and there was nobody there to tell you". Whether the book achieves what it suggests, which is to abolish religion through logic I don't know, but it certainly helped me to think.

This has been a very revealing book regarding assistance to both intraphysical and extraphysical beings. The only technical and instructional manual that I have found in the myriad book shelves that I have searched through over the years. A most methodical and clear manual. A VERY ENCOURAGING BOOK. Not to be taken lightly.

PENTA Manual is a great guide for those who are in favor of assistance on a higher level and working hand in hand with extraphysical, assistential technicians. The first time I heard about PENTA I was immediately drawn to it because I've always liked helping others and have always believed in extraphysical Helpers or what some may call "angels," etc. It is a serious subject that is presented very well by the author. For those who are serious about taking an active, energetic, stand in aiding the conditions of others, PENTA is a great step.

i found this book cool, informative and what's more giving you ideas how to expand your reiki practice outside of the initial frame given with the initiations.

I have found this Reiki book to be a really good reference guide. It is full of lots of handy hints...even things I have not been taught, although I have just completed Reiki 1 and 2. I have stuck post-it-notes throughout the book..it's like a bible for Reiki Practitioners. I would highly recommend this book for beginners or more advanced as it has alot of useful information in it, and it is written well, easy to read.

EXCELLENT book! As a Reiki practicionter...this added book of tools and techniques is a realy benefit.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in using Reiki to it's utmost.
An excellent tool with methods not just for healing but for manifesting, using Reiki on for healing the past and the future, clearing rooms and a huge variety of methods for emotional healing. Of others certainly but these methods can be used for healing oneself, now, in the future and as so many of us need, the past. We can't change the past but with Reiki and several of the methods in the book we can heal it.

I love the room clearing technique and the Reiki fountain. But there are so many here, you can have a great time with new ways of healing.
