This is an insider's view of alternative healing. Jim Gilkeson writes from true experience as a healer, and he demystifies the process. He offers real-life examples of how to use subtle energy fields to integrate health and mental states. Read this book also for the fine style. This is enjoyable literature, because of the anecdotes and research he brings to his narrative. The book is enjoyable reading in itself, and further offers practical techniques for healing self and a partner.

As a student of spiritual healing, I have studied most books written on energy healing. Some are just plain whacko, others are really text-books that need you to attend a workshop to really benefit. Here, Jim Gilkeson did something amazing. This book is both a readable introduction to energy work - from the solid foundation of experience - and has powerful exercises and meditations (or healing routines for others) that really help things move.
If you are looking to really get into your energy system and experience it - I would advice this book as the soundest energy healing text around. It is entertaining, wise, and easy to use. The exercise using triangles with a release stage led me into the first experience of my primal anger - detached from cause. I felt it sweeping out from me and upwards. It was a genuine release from the sacral area and after that came great calm.
As an introduction it is great. As a set of extra techniques for healers it is profound. And Jim is a good guy. You can write to him by e-mail with questions and he responds.
Let's hope the sequel is coming soon!

This brilliant and accessible books is sensitive, insightful, elegant, and poetic. Yet its true brilliance lay in Jim Gilkeson's ability to take arcane and complex subject matter and translate it into a crystal-clear description of how the human energy system works and to provide practical hands-on exercises and healing protocols to demonstrate and apply that knowledge. With humor and reverence, the book guides the reader into a greater understanding of the Mystery. It is a precious gift.

I read the book, found it very simple to follow and understand. The exercises are easy to do and will give the reader the opportunity to experience the etheric energy in all of us. Some of the exercises are so practical that I have include some of them in my own routine for meditation and morning stretching.

Nevertheless, if you are not open in this search for answers and looking forward to continue growing spiritually and emotionally, this book might be too much. For this reason, I rate it 4 stars instead of 5.

Thanks, Jim for this wonderful book! I love the down to earth style while talking about these concepts. Really helpful to us apprentice energy healers. Would reccomend to anybody exploring these areas of healing.
