Adam's book is the real thing based on spiritual principles, May 30, 2004
This review is from: Dream Healer: His name is Adam (Paperback)
Adam's book is written for the healer. It is written on a level of maturity and a basic understanding of spiritual principles of healing. He has confirmed in his abilities, what it has taken me many years to understand about my own ability to heal and the images I have seen. I have read two extremely negative criticisms of the book and found them to be filled with such hate and jealousy that I have completely invalidated their critique value. Anyone who claims to be a healer and then spews such ugly anger towards a young talented author cannot possibly be a healer because true healers understand the karmic effects of such negative energy and that all healing and the ability to heal comes from God, or "the Universe" as some say. It is true that Adam may not have been able to heal his own mother completely, yet in the scriptures we read that Paul was able to heal thousands, but not able to heal himself completely. In response to his pleas, the Lord said, "My grace is sufficient for thee,". Sometimes we are given challenges close to the heart to strengthen our resolve. Adam doesn't make fantastic claims in his book as a healer. In fact, his book is fresh, clear, and has a balanced perspective. He takes the successes he's had and reveals that a positive attitude, an ability to be receptive and a desire for deep personal change are what those being healed must have in order to heal. As a Master in martial arts, a certified metaphysical healing practitioner, a reiki healer, and a healer educated in Dhanur Veda under an Indian Master for nine years, and a student of oriental medicine and herbology, I do validate the principles and content of this wonderful book. As healers, we are in a continual evolution to grow and learn. I have healed others and have been seeing astral images (which Adam calls holograms) for years in my healing. The fact that Adam uses high-tech and scientific terms is a matter of symantics. What I call the astral body and physical substrait, Adam refers to as holograms. What I call the Divine power of God and Jesus, he calls Energetic field. He avoids any religious or cultural terms in order for us to understand from his scientific and modern perspective. His book is filled with his love for his craft and his growth and evolution unfolds as he takes us through the challenges he's endured as a healer. I highly recommend this book to any serious healer with an open mind and a willingness to learn and grow.

A glimpse at a new paradigm of healing..., December 12, 2004
This review is from: Dream Healer: His name is Adam (Paperback)
Well, I just finished Adam's first book, "DreamHealer: His Name is Adam" (a.k.a., "DreamHealer 1"). ("DreamHealer 2" is now available. I'll be reading it today, but have thumbed through it enough to get the gist of it.) Definitely an enjoyable and worthwhile read.
"DreamHealer: His Name is Adam", starts out with sort of an autobigraphical overview of how young Adam (16 years old a year ago when he wrote this book) discovered that there was something "unusual" about himself, and came to recognize it as a unique ability as a healer. Then it continues as Adam explains how he sees things when he works with people, gives some case histories, and concludes with recommendations for good health.
Don't be skeptical about the age of Adam and how rudimentary his writing skills might be... I quickly forgot that myself as I read the book. He seems much older than his 16 years would indicate.
I recommended it to a friend yesterday. That friend, who is a very competent healer in his own right, said he'd looked at it, but didn't see anything there for him, which surprised me. When asked how that was true, he said that the book seemed to be about Adam describing his gifts... not teaching. I told him that he needed to check it out again. (I'll lend mine to him now.)
Back when I decided to read about every healer I heard about, the idea was to see what potential lay "out there", and work to distill the ideas that I came across in my readings. In doing so, there were a few healers (Dean Kraft, Ze'ev Kohlman, Benjamin Bibb, in particular), who opened doors to new levels for me, because what they did was so different than the others I read about. Dean Kraft would study medical illustrations to get an idea what a "normal" condition was, then focus that intent to make it happen in the client. Ze'ev Kohlman among other things, could see energy meridians and pinpoint blockages, which was very different from anyone else I'd heard of. And Benjamin Bibb would look at things mechanically... for instance, visualizing that he took apart an arthritic joint, sandpapered the surfaces smooth, and applied a permanent salve / lubricant. To me, finding out about how each of these healers did things in their unique was was inspiring as well as thought- provoking.
I see Adam's "holograms" in the same light. In "DreamHealer 1", although Adam doesn't specifically "teach" holograms, the fact that he describes them to the extent that he does, does give us a glimpse of possibilities, which, as developing healers (do we ever truly "finish"?) ourselves, allows us to set new goals... and reach them.
"DreamHealer 2", on the other hand IS about teaching us how he does what he does... and how we may be able to do similar things ourselves. The illustrations (in full color) of what he sees when he works are very good and give us the distinct "knowing", that with a little practice and patience, we can see in a similar, if not the same, way.
If you're a healer who is on a quest for relevant books, these are as relevant as you'll find anywhere. And they're written in plain English that doesn't leave us scratching our heads trying to understand vague explanations, or, compare a new esoteric terminology to words we currently are fimiliar with to see how they match up.
I highly recommend that you buy both books...

Opening Doors and Opening Minds, August 9, 2005
This review is from: Dream Healer: His name is Adam (Paperback)
Given the state of healthcare in the United States, I wonder how many people might benefit from ideas like those presented in DreamHealer. Adam tells his very personal story about discovering his special abilities to see a person's health problems as manifest in their energy fields (like an aura) and then how he progressed to being able to help heal them. His journey has been one of perpetual growth and understanding about humanity and our own power to live healthy, balanced lives. Going from a situation in which Adam "absorbed" the pain of those he attempted to heal to an entirely new situation of being able practice distance healing without negatively impacting his own energy, Adam will inspire you to take ownership of your own health and your own healing power. Personally, while I have not yet achieved results, I remain interested in pursuing this way of approaching my health and the world. I even looked into attending one of Adams workshops on healing in Canada, but it sold out before I could determine the feasibility of going.
The bottom line is this, if you can open your mind to the possibilities Adam presents, you may also open a door to a healthy and balanced future.
