THIS BOOK DESERVES MORE THAN FIVE STARS. IT IS A WONDERFUL INTRODUCTION TO THE BODY'S SUBTLE ENERGY SYSTEMS; WHAT THEY ARE, HOW THEY WORK AND HOW WE CAN WORK WITH THEM TO BRING MORE JOY AND VITALITY INTO OUR LIVES. IT IS BEUATIFULLY WRITTEN AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. IT AWOKE IN ME A CURIOSITY THAT HAS MADE ME AN AVID SCHOLAR OF THE SUBJECT. DONNA EDEN MAKES THE "INVISIBLE" VISIBLE. READ IT, LIVE IT AND BEGIN YOUR ADVENTURE.

I am usually quite the skeptic when it comes to some of these abstract theories regarding alternative medicine. I am also easily bored if the author puts too much into the "intro" before getting into the "meat" of the subject. In other cases, I find myself overwhelmed if there is not enough of an intro and I am bombarded with exercises and terms for which I have limited familiarity.

This book was written with "me" in mind. I read the first chapter and can't put it down. The author projects an amazing energy into her words and manages to give just the right amount of "coverage" to all of the above. The intro is gripping with personal stories written almost diary-style that literally propel the reader through each chapter, backed up with scientific evidence for skeptics like me and written in a way that makes the reader feel engaged, fully equipped, and capable.

To put it bluntly, buy this book for yourself. Buy it for a friend. Whatever you do though, buy this book. This book will open your senses to a wisdom conventional medicine muffles. I would recommend this book for those whom "conventional medicine" has failed...clearly all of us.

As a psychotherapist in private practice, and a faculty member at Bastyr University, I use concepts and techniques from this book with clients and naturopathic medical students. This is a highly recommended reference book.

Energy psychology is a fast growing field with amazing potential for helping people heal long standing emotional and even physical problems. This book is a must have resource for all clinicians and students of alternative medicine fields. Eden makes difficult concepts easy to understand, and provides a multitude of diagrams and step by step instructions for self-help use.
