Book Description

March 1, 1990
This book is a classic text on Core Energetics, a body/mind/spirit therapeutic process developed by John C. Pierrakos MD. It stems from the work of Wilhelm Reich and Bioenergetics, but with a deepening spiritual component. The focus of the book is to open the "Core" to a new awareness of how body, emotions, mind, will and spirit form a unit.

A scholarly text, the author explains in full psychological detail his theory and therapy. The result is a masterpiece of body/mind holistic thinking.



Editorial Reviews

Review

. Core Energetics unifies all human aspects of physical, emotional, rational and spiritual into a powerful system to understand ourselves -- Barbara Brennan, author of Hands of Light

. Powerful and scholarly, Core Energetics is a precise explanation of a process by which the author teaches healing by helping us truly inhabit our inner space...Explaining in full psychological detail his theory and therapy, Pierrakos presents us with a masterpiece of body-mind holistic thinking. -- Body Mind Spirit Magazine

This is a definitive book on somatic therapy.... Pierrakos worked for twenty years on energy mobilization to release the body of chronic muscular tensions, drawing on the Reichian and Bioenergetic systems....this book adds a spiritual dimension to the work. ...the author's passion as a healer land teacher, his compassion for the suffering person, his enormous capacity to give, these are evident in reading his book. He truly is a spokesperson for the human core. -- AHP Perspective (Association of Humanistic Psychology)

5.0 out of 5 stars A scientific look at the human energy field., March 4, 2005
By 
Scott Knudsen (Air Ronge, Saskatchewan Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Core Energetics: Developing the Capacity to Love and Heal (Paperback)
I found this book quite refreshing, being that it wasn't written with allot of new-age, eastern mysticism, mumbo-jumbo like most of the books on this topic are.

The author probes deeply into how the human energy field effects the human psyche and vise versa. He explains the methodology on how he has arrived at his conclusions and gives many real world examples.

This is not only a great book for someone who is interested in doing their own mental and emotional healing, but it should be in the library of all Psychiatrists and anyone else who deals with people on a mental/emotional level.

A must have for anyone interested in holistic healing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple Applications of Centuries Old Secrets, February 8, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Core Energetics: Developing the Capacity to Love and Heal (Paperback)
Core Energetics .... Simply written, with well placed examples and exercises of how to use the emotions and the physical nature of our lives to teach ourselves how FEEL more ..... and thus BE ALIVE and GROW. I saw Dr. Pierrakos in a 2 day seminar and was impressed with his ability to diminish his particular issues so as to allow the participants to engage in their own personnal unveiling.
