5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Miss the Free Downloads, August 26, 2008

By	Karilyn Gomez - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I treated the original edition of Energy Medicine like some religious people treat the Bible. It travels with me, the pages are worn, the words have been read many many times, passages have been memorized. I expected the "10th Anniversary Edition" to be more about bringing renewed attention to what has I'm sure been the most successful book in its genre by far (more than 150,000 U.S. sales and 15 foreign editions, according to the author's website). I didn't really think the book itself could get better. But it did! Besides being thoroughly updated as the field of energy medicine has taken roots over the past decade, you will find new sections on such important topics as how to use energy medicine if you are having an invasive medical procedure. The desired benefits of surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation are more likely to come about if your body is energetically prepared to support the procedure, and the side effects will be far fewer. But the book remains both the premiere self-help guide for using an understanding of the body's subtle energies to keep yourself healthy and vital and also a clinical handbook that can be used by any health care practitioner.

I ordered the revised/expanded edition the moment Amazon listed it. I then ordered several more as gifts directly from the author's website, www.LearnEnergyMedicine.com, along with the companion DVDs that show the author demonstrating the techniques. The ones I ordered through the author's website came with a card saying that enlargements of some of the drawings, which are rather small in the printed edition, can be found on the above website under "View Large Drawings . . ." The copy I got from Amazon did not have this card. If you are buying the book from Amazon, remember to take a look at the larger versions of the drawings. I've printed them and keep them with the book. They are actually very useful as they are referred to throughout the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars a lot of information, December 21, 2008

By	Jazz Girl "Jazz Girl" (philadelphia, pa) - See all my reviews

I have been looking for accurate information in this field for a long time. Unfortunately, the vast majority of books on energy are not written by people who are clairvoyant or have a clear, direct experience with it, but rather by folks who want to milk money out of the New Age babble.
This is not the case of this book. Donna Eden is a clairvoyant. I have watched her DVD as well(6 hours)and I think I can scream "Evrika!" (I found it!)
For instance, when you read the chapter on chakras, is not the usual "the root chakra is this color...the heart chakra is this color...and symbolizes that" but rather the way a clairvoyant perceives each of these chakras, which is invaluable.There are some case studies as well which makes things even more interesting.
And there are lots of exercises that we are recommended to do- luckily very short and very effective.We can clean our chakras ourselves, flush our meridians, eliminate toxic/stagnant energies, balance our emotions, all free. All there is needed is our hands and a few minutes a day.Yes, you need to flip pages back and forth, but obviously it is not possible to summarize everything on one page.
Attention- reading and embracing this book will change your view of your body and of your life completely, so, ARE YOU READY?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Priceless Resource, October 16, 2008

By	L.C. Evans "Author" (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

Donna Eden is an incredibly gifted healer. This is absolutely the best book on energy healing that I have ever read. To say it contains a wealth of information would be an understatement. The author spells out in detail how to use techniques for working with chakras, auras, meridians and more. The book itself would be a little easier to use if the reader didn't have to flip back and forth between pages to find drawings and descriptions of techniques, but since some of the exercises are used for more than one condition, it would be difficult to avoid page flipping without being repetitious.
