5.0 out of 5 stars Miraculous Healing from Earth Energy, May 19, 2001

This review is from: To Be Healed by the Earth (Hardcover)

Warren Grossman has written a masterpiece in TO BE HEALED BY THE EARTH. His deceptively simple book touches my heart so deeply that I find tears of love and joy spontaneously welling up in my eyes as I read it. Grossman's loving view of this world shines right through every word of this beautifully illustrated book, as he describes how to: feel and share energy with Nature, feel more Love in one's life, develop one's skills as a Healer, and do a most remarkable set of Exercises.

Grossman begins TO BE HEALED BY THE EARTH by describing how he returned home early from a vacation to Brazil in 1987 feeling desperately ill. His doctor told him a parasite had laid its eggs in his liver and he had one week left to live... and sent him home to die. Instead of dying, Grossman felt inspired to lie down on the Earth every day, which began a transformation within him. When he found himself healthy again, he noticed he was seeing light coming from all living organisms -- including in his psychotherapy patients.

I began to practice some of the exercises with some trepidation, since I have allergies and many pollens were blowing about this spring. I found much to my surprise that my allergies and asthma vanished completely as I practiced these exercises on a daily basis... and this was in the height of one of the worst allergy seasons ever!

I give this book my highest recommendation to anyone interested in improving their skills as a healer, as well as to anyone who simply wishes they had more energy, better health, and/or a more loving relationship with others in their life.

5.0 out of 5 stars touching and practical, October 31, 2002

By

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: To Be Healed by the Earth (Hardcover)

Contrary to what a former reviewer said about this book being elementary and therefore dissapointing, I beleive this to be a marvelous book. It has a magical air to it; Warren Grossman's loving nature actually comes through the book to the reader. This is something I find missing from most other books on healing that I have read (mostly chi-kung: Chinese energy healing).
Besides being beautiful to look at and to read, and besides it being written in a way which can touch your heart, this book contains exercises which are simple to practice and profound in their affects! Advanced techniques (at least of chi-kung) shouldn't even be put into books because the reader can seriously hurt him/herself if practiced wrongly (which is likely if the reader has no experience with energy arts). So, the author did us all a favor by making these techniques simple.
Much of the book is spent examining different emotions and how they affect a person (and his/her energy). He talks about being a healer in everything you do in life; healing every situation and every relationship.
This is a wonderful book for anyone serious about healing themselves, others, or the planet as a whole.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new paradigm in healing and becoming whole!, July 1, 1999

By 

[e-mail], Judi Neal, Director of the Ce... (Connecticut) - See all my reviews

This review is from: To Be Healed by the Earth (Paperback)

This book presents an elegantly simple approach to healing and wholeness. He explains the healing power of nature in every day, non-esoteric terms that anyone can understand and use. He makes the concepts and practices of healing non-threatening and available to anyone who is willing to take a minute or two to stand bare-foot on the Earth.

Many people ask "What type of healing is this?" Its not a "type" of healing. The book describes how to tune into nature and how to let the natural flow of energy remove pain, illness, or negative emotions.

There are many beautiful and inspirational passages on the connection between love and healing. Some of the topics that are covered are patience, gentleness, kindness, and generosity. The book ends with several chapters on what it means to be a healer and provides a thorough description of healing exercises that anyone can do.

This book is a book you will want to own and use on a daily basis, as well as a book you will want to give as a gift to the people you care about.
