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.

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?

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.

This book is AWESOME. My energy therapist suggested I buy this book to use along with her energy work on me. It is written for those who want to take their health into a more alternative direction, but are at a loss maybe what to do. In a word, self empowerment.
It's loaded with energy exercises you can do. From working with magnets, to the chakras, to clearing out each organ's neurolymphatics, clearing and tracing the meridians, to spiritual exercises when you need help realigning your energy, to a dental chart and what tooth corresponds to what organ, and the list goes on.
I reference this book a lot, and highly recommend it, would also recommend the Energy Medicine for Women: Aligning Your Body's Energies to Boost Your Health and Vitality by Donna Eden

If you are like me, and interested in this field, then I recommend you also get the The Energy Medicine Kit, which has a DVD where she demonstrates various energy routines, and an easy to follow five minute daily routine. This is now part of my daily routine. Everyone should have a daily routine for moving energy.

The book and the kit are stand alone products. I highly recommend both to everyone. I got the energy medicine kit first, and I am glad I did because there is nothing quite like seeing the exercises demonstrated, and I know I would not be doing these techniques properly if I did not first see them shown. The mutimedia is format is easier to follow and use.

The book also contains the five minute routine, and is more encyclopedic. If you are not already an advanced healer I recommend getting the kit first, because you are more likely to be able to follow a visual demonstration correctly. You are also less likely to understand the concept of energy testing without a visual demonstration which is like watching a magic show.

There is so much content in this book, which is based on the twin concepts of touch for healing and kinesiology (energy testing) in which she tests your muscle resistance,and then treats. Donna can see energy, but you can achieve the same thing with energy testing.

In this book, you learn about opening the chakras, and celtic weave, figure eights, strange flows, the aura, eye movement exercises, neurovasculars or fight or flight response and many other things.

If you have health challenges, you owe it to yourself to do everything you can to resolve them. Seek professional help, go see an energy healer to resolve the issues, and by all means use the techniques in this book, and the energy kit.

If you are like me you will be very pleased with this product. If you are unsure about which one to buy first, get the energy medicine kit. I wonder if this review was helpful.

This book is in line with all the new discoveries in human science. Ms Eden is no flake. Her exercises and explanations help and really work for the lay person. I marked my copy up, sticky noted it nearly to death, tried everything she described and am having a lot more fun as a result.

Greetings,

I just loved this book. I have been a practitioner of energy based technques for years and find this book full of healing wisdom.

Donna's energy medicine kit is another item well worth the price. It is full of simple easy to learn techniques. For one thing they really work.

I would recommend the whole DVD companion to this book if you are a visual person. For myself,learning the energy techniques viewed on the DVD made it easier to apply.

The only recommendation I would make is that the charts in the book are little challenging to follow. The print is a little on the small size but I still rated this product a number 5.

A great find from a wonderful joyful talented woman. Donna is really knowledgeable and fun to watch. Thank you so much Donna for bringing this wonderful model of health to our world.

This is an easy to read, easy to understand, easy to follow self applicable information. Doing these short,simple, easy to do exercises twice a day has lifted all depression, anxiety, panic attacks, fatigue, mental confusion and more. Combining these energy exercises with Tapas Fleming's TAT is an excellent combo for regaining ones mental/physical/emotional and spiritual well being.

Donna Eden has made her ability to see the cause of illness and distress available to everyone and has given the people of the world a way to regain their health. Her understanding of how our body's immune systems are overtaxed by chemical pollutants(think perfumes, cleaning products, food packaging, processed food, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides,) electromagnetic energy (think cell phone, computers, cell towers, over head electric lines, microwaves, fluorescent lights(yes, even the new little ones) is helpful in itself.

She then adds what we can do about it. Evolve our immune system, our body's ability to handle what we are exposed to 24/7. Evolve our ability to handle the stresses we encounter every minute of every day. Stresses we are not even aware of until our bodies break down into chronic fatigue, illness, and worse. She gives the most surprisingly simple exercises, using one's own hand, to bring one's self back to health on all levels. Her use of magnets to draw out excess electromagnetic energy has completely change how I feel for the better.

She says we are retraining out entire physical and energy systems to respond to life in a better, more healthy way. In some cases, these energy exercises produce instant improvement in how we feel. In other cases, it takes time to produce lasting results because we are in a retraining mode. Eventually the systems does change and we feel better more consistently.

Donna Eden's youtube videos are a great way to start provide demonstrations of some of the exercises shown in the book. The Energy Medicine kit, also available at Amazon, is easy to follow with explanations along the way of why we feel how we feel. The Energy Medicine Essential Technique DVDs are excellent. No matter how tired you are it takes little energy to do these exercises. Some are as simple as brushing your hand along your arm or tapping on your collarbone. Simple.Easy.Effective.

It is not all in your head. It is in your energy pathways, the meridians. Fix those first and then see if you still have those panic attacks, or depression or anxiety, or fatigue or diagnosed illnesses. Consult your doctor if you are unsure. And then try them anyway.

There had to be a better, more self empowering way, more self healing way to feel better. This book provides that.

I had the first edition of this book when it came out many years ago, and it's a testament to how amazing Donna Eden is that I went out and purchased the new edition, something I've never done with a book before. Donna is one of those incredibly gifted healers who also excels at sharing information with the rest of us in a down-to-earth, easy to understand way. I also love that unlike some books on healing that are long on personal philosophy and short on useful information, this one is absolutely jam packed with fascinating facts and exercises that are immediately usable. The 5-step energy routine should be taught to children and adults alike, as it helps to keep the body's energetic systems in balance, which can in turn prevent dis-ease. To say this book is worth the purchase price would be a huge understatement. The information really does have the potential to be life-changing. What are you waiting for?

I've gotten some very good health results from Energy Medicine. I found it easy to understand and to follow the directions. I also got help from the DVD and CD by the same author (Energy Medicine Kit). There's a lot of information, but I settled on a daily routine after I got oriented.

I'm 63 and don't have major health issues but a number of minor ones. I started doing a daily routine from the book that takes me about 20-30 minutes. Though, at first it took longer.

Within a few days, I noticed that my hair, which had turned dull over the years, re-gained some of its glossiness. I really like that!

Also, I had occasionally had sleep problems. Those have gone away.

Lastly, my need for nutritional supplements has gone way down. I do energy-testing to determine what I need. When I first started this, I compared my results with those of my nutritionist's testing on me, to see if our results were the same. They were almost identical. Two months ago, when I first did the testing, I needed three of each supplement a day. Now, I'm down to one of each supplement, and in a few cases, one every few days or none at all. This is a big cost savings!

I used to see a nutritionist regularly to get nutritional testing and also receive an Energy Medicine-type technique. I was able to stop seeing the nutritionist and my health is continuing to improve. I highly recommend this book for people who want to understand meridians, subtle energies, and to improve their health on their own with not very much effort.
