In the New Age world which caters to the upper classes, Ms. Stein's work stands out as one which does not. Rather, she validates the individual's exploration and practice of the healing arts. In her chapter entitled, "The Ancient Art of Reiki and Laying on of Hands", Diane Stein writes, "The information is not exclusive to the Christian God, to the Reiki Master, or to the woman who has $150-10,000-it is there for the taking by anyone who wants to learn it." There for the taking. That was what I was seeking when I came across this book. Certification, licensure, and regulation may feed pockets, but healing falls under no human's jurisdiction and Ms. Stein makes her point, and encourages us to heal.

I've have had and used this book for the past 10 years (since publication). It is the first book that I reach for when looking up a problem or a remedy. This book is a necessary resource in any woman's healing library, no matter how extensive your library may be.

I did enjoy this book, it was well-researched and a great source of information. But I had a problem with the hostile attitudes toward men. The author seems to blame men for the majority of problems in society. I prefer to think of men as brothers and friends, not enemies.

If you can get past all the separtist language in this book, you can find all sorts of good advice on natural healing techniques. I have practiced some of them, and they work wonderfully...I recommend it to anyone wanting to get into natural healing, if you can get past all the separtist language and the hostility she displays towards men

But I have to agree she is a bit overboard when she speaks of men. But I do love the way she speaks of the past times when in order to birth, you simply asked a friend with children to be your midwife. I do believe that people could benifit from that kind of knowlege now. But overall she is rather hostile, taking feminism to a whole new level, I believe she has some unresolved men issues.

once you get past all of the man bashing. I agree that women are natural healers and inclined to such. But have mercy... I was offended in the most hilarious way. The offensive part is obvious almost immediately. The hilarious part (in all of it's irony) is that she's so closed minded in a field that takes a very open mind to practice with success. I think our dear author might have some healing of her own left to do. None of us are perfect, not myself for sure but I couldn't really get into her teachings. Her prejudges make her hard to take seriously.

this book is a must read in my opinion,for all women. we need to get back to the earth ,and as women that is a must.because we are sisters and daughters of mother earth. she needs us to listen to her again,to help strengthen our relationship with her once again. these book shows us (women) the powerful bond that we used to have with her,and the natural world.

This book like most of Diane Stein's publications is filled with half truths and obvious unfounded bias against men. While she does provide some helfpul information her statements following them and Her pontifications that men have caused all the the evil and harm in the world belies her offerings as healings. She evens demonstates an obvious hostility towards dogs. What information she does present is so skewed and reworked to justify her intense dislike for a great many entities in the world that it does little to promote any of her socalled nautral healing. Her refusal to recognize that women are part of the humanity and that men are not less than human is untenable and shameful for someone purporting to teach natural healing. We are all healers and we all should be both men and women

Ms. Stein needs to overcome her bias towards men. This bias is found in many if not all of her books. So you would have to read this book and make an effort to ignore her ego-attitude towards male human beings.

For those who want to tap in their mystical powers for service to others(Love) and not for themselves(Ego) check out The Lightworkers Way by Doreen Virtue. I and a friend of mine both agree that her teachings, intentions and techniques are purer and guard against the voice of our egos or lesser-selves.
