For anyone interested in developing the conscious use of subtle energies, and expanding the various facets of the human consciousness, this if a "Must-Read" Book! Author Mary Ellen Flora regards Planet Earth as. "a spiritual frontier, where we as spirit can create, learn, and grow." She provides practical guidelines for connecting with natural "earth energies," and the "energy grid" of our planet. She cautions that we must temper our newfound enlightenment and powers with "spiritual maturity" and compassion, in our dealings with others...and with nature in general. She explains how we can become masters of our own karma by learning to take control of our natural creative powers, creating what we really need for our own happiness, success, and peace of mind. Her perspectives of the different stages of our life on earth, from a subtle-energy (i.e. spritual) perspective, are extremely clear and well-grounded into the context of everyday living. Other subjects include approaches and techniques for connecting with the higher self and higher entities, approaches to dealing with the birth and death transitions, and insights into healing the body, mind, and spirit by connecting with the forces of the natural environment. The book is packed with insights, techniques, and enlightening examples, touching virtually all aspects of our daily lives. It is essentially a sort of operations manual for the New Millennium, the elements of which have been artistically woven into a living fabric...a fabric which is both enlightening and practical at the same time.

This book was easy to read, and full of timeless truths. I would recommend it to anyone who is ready to move forward.

This entire book reads like a Sesame Street episode. No, wait, I take that back because it's insulting to Sesame Street. Sesame Street is fun, entertaining, teaches children information without talking down to them, and isn't full of itself. Now, take that sentence and add "not" before fun, delete "without" and "while", change "isn't" to "is" and you basically have an accurate idea of what this book does.

Of course you do. You live on it. That's about all you'll learn from this book. This book didn't do one thing it promised. It didn't help me at all.

I cannot imagine anyone actually enjoying this book. The ideas are simplistic, the author's voice irritating and pedantic, and she seems to violate the first rule of spirituality by implying that her book contains all the answers.

The most striking thing about the book is how the author claims that she asks her minions to seek out their own answers, yet it appears, from reading the book that what she truly means is that they should seek their own answers as long as they agree with her proclamations. The book has so many stories about all the bad things that happened when people disagreed with or chose to ignore the author's advice and opionions, yet it claims she wants spiritual freedom! Truly a contradiction, if you ask me.

I am so sorry I bought this new age cultish nonsense. I should have just stuck with the classics! I advise any true seeker to do the same.

This author's series of books are filled with misinformation, erroneous commentary, or completely unfounded opinion disguised as "spiritual truths". Of the accurate information in the books, almost all of it is simply Buddhism with a New Age Christian flavor. These books offer nothing new, nothing truly helpful. They appear to be nothing more than a gateway device to recruit people to the author's cult of psychic phenomenon. You'll discover more about "earth energy" while washing your dog outside than sitting inside reading this book. If you have no dog, simply go for a walk, a swim, a nap under a cedar tree--do anything other than read this silly book!

According to Ms. Flora, the Earth is a great, big schoolhouse where we come to learn lessons. I certainly learned a lesson here. I learned the value of never buying another of Ms. Flora's series of books. The books, Earth Energy included, give information anyone can find on-line, speak in pedantic tones, and are filled with threats about what happens to people who don't listen to Ms. Flora's fabulous advice. Of course, she doesn't call it advice--she calls it "spiritual truth" but the only spiritual truth you'll learn by reading this book or any of her others is the one spoken by P.T. Barnum--"There's a sucker born every minute."
