From Publishers Weekly

Batie, a former satellite communications engineer-turned-holistic healer, describes a variety of energy-based healing techniques in this discursive guide to improving mental and physical health. Batie locates the root cause of disease in faulty or damaged patterns in the etheric body (aura) or in the higher energy bodies (emotional, mental and spiritual). An aberration in any of these energy bodies will, according to Batie, manifest in physical symptoms unless it is brought to consciousness and released. The healing modalities addressed here are ones that Batie uses in his own practice as a healer to release problems in the physical energy body (reiki, healing touch), the etheric energy body (spiritual surgery, reflective healing), the emotional and mental energy bodies (rohun transformational therapy) and the spiritual energy body (kundalini energy and light energization). He describes how each practice can repattern faulty energy systems and leads readers through techniques used in a typical session. Batie primarily addresses healers and trainees, but lay readers will discover precisely what they will encounter in a healing session, as well as a greater understanding of how to modify deeply entrenched negative thoughts and beliefs. Most importantly, he effectively communicates the deep level of commitment required of the therapist and client in the healing process. (Oct.)

From Booklist

According to energy healing practitioners, our bodies are surrounded by an energy field, invisible to most people, that contains the imprints of past traumas. Clearing these imprints removes the source of emotional pain, preventing disease even before it manifests in the physical body. Batie, who directs a holistic healing center in Washington State, and teaches energy-based healing techniques, covers the history and methods of such emerging therapies as Reiki, healing touch, spiritual surgery, and regression therapy. The most interesting and best-covered of the group is called Ro-Hun, a deeply transformational therapy combining cleansing, emotional release, and examination of the "shadow self," the dark side of the human psyche. Batie also touches on advanced methods of spiritual awakening aimed at those with more experience in this still relatively unknown field. All the techniques discussed not only heal physical ills but also help clients break entrenched negative emotional and behavioral patterns, enabling them to attract abundance, creativity, and love into their lives.

This review is from: Awakening the Healer Within: An Introduction to Energy-Based Techniques (Paperback)

I have been doing laying on of hands for about 8 years now and this book summarizes the process in an interesting and understandable manner. The writer's style and structure brings the process to life with ease. To understand this subject well, knowledge about all types should be presented... and this authors does. A book you would not regret buying or having. I will be buying a few extra copies for my students and friends for gifts.
