5.0 out of 5 stars The Missing Counterpoint to Meditation, May 28, 2008
By 
This review is from: Energy Break: Recharge Your Life with Autokinetics (Hardcover)
In this breezy volume, Keeney introduces the reader to Autokinetics, the practice of spontaneous, improvised movement for the purpose of developing access to an energized flow state.

Autokinetics is based on an esoteric technique Keeney learned from a Japanese healer. The basic method is to sit on a chair and move spontaneously for 10 minutes, attempting to fall into a trance where your experience is that of being moved by the movements, rather than consciously moving your body.

As simple as it sounds, the practice is profoundly deep, and absolutely brings "life force energy" into your life, making you more creative, spontaneous, and passionate.

Beware though--unleashing this kind of energy within can lead to highs and lows of emotion and energy as your system gets purified. Keeney, like most spiritual teachers, unfortunately does not cover this important topic.

But other than that, this book as well as Shaking Medicine are important works in the promotion of arousal as counterpoint to relaxation in the spiritual path. It's a shame that this book is apparently out of print--it should be as well-read as popular meditation books by Thich Nhat Hanh, John Kabat-Zinn, and the like.
