3.0 out of 5 stars CONTENT: excellent! FORMAT: challenging
No doubt, Ms. Eden is extraordinarily gifted. The information presented in text is empowering and thorough. However, the figures and exercises are scattered throughout the book, flanked by other discussions and I found myself jumping around and losing my place, particularly since the text throughout appears fairly consistent. Practically speaking, I would have...

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Energy Healing Reference Book, January 30, 2002
This review is from: Energy Medicine (Paperback)
Donna Eden's book, ENERGY MEDICINE, is a priceless addition to any energy healer's book shelves. In simple language with clear illustrations, Eden outlines ways to release stress, restore energies, escape the grip of fear, concentrate in the midst of fear and stress, feel joyful more often, overcome digestive problems, mend broken arms and legs, overcome nervousness, calm people (and yourself), relieve arthritic pain, relieve muscle cramps, relieve low back pain, and regain control when feeling hysterical.

I would be thrilled with any book that so clearly outlines techniques for helping people with such a wide variety of ailments, aches and pains, but ENERGY MEDICINE goes several steps further. Eden describes the body's energy meridians, chakra balancing, and how to do the "celtic weave". As Eden explains, "The Celtic weave, as an energy system, laces through all your other energy systems and creates a resonance among them. It is the weaver of your force fields. It holds your entire energetic structure together. As an exercise, you use the Celtic weave to pulse your aura's energies outward and to strengthen them. The exercise also connects all your energies together so they operate as a single web. Touch one strand, anywhere, and your whole system reverberates in harmony."

I love the way ENERGY MEDICINE includes a vast assortment of fascinating real-life stories of energy healings that Donna Eden has been involved in, including her own recovery from being bitten by a poisonous insect in Fiji. The shamans in Fiji treated Donna for her bite by burying her up to her neck in sand for long stretches several times over a two day period, believing the toxins would be drained into the sand. Donna recovered her full health in Fiji, and shortly thereafter began her studies of energy healing.

I highly recommend ENERGY MEDICINE to anyone with an interest in energy healing. Experienced energy healers and novices can all find much of great value in this essential reference book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Landmark work in energy medicine, wide-ranging and useful, June 20, 2003
By 
"jkhvision" (Fairport, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Energy Medicine (Paperback)
As a physician interested in helping patients achieve wellness, I was fascinated by Donna Eden's Energy Medicine. I maintain a large library of books on complementary health topics. Among the hundreds of books in the category of Energy this book STANDS OUT as the only book to my knowledge that addresses so many different energy systems. I have wondered how to reconcile chakras, meridians, etc. and Donna Eden does just that. The book is also unique because it demystifies and provides access to many routines that can be used for self-help. Many books are full of esoterica and mystery that leave the reader with useless knowledge. Energy Medicine is full of practical information.

Chapters deal with major topics. Within each chapter are "How-to Boxes," giving specific suggestions on how to manage over 30 different common problems. The short Daily Energy Routine in Chapter 3 has benefited everybody who continues to do it.

I bought the videos because I wanted to see Donna at work and I wanted to see some of the movements. They are an excellent addition to the book.

Energy Medicine is a gold mine of information. Every time I dig for a nugget, I get something out of it. The book bears re-reading, and I can testify that the effort is time well-spent. My copy is dog-eared from use. I purchased a second book as a loaner because I recommend it so frequently.

Optimal health has been defined as the unlimited and unimpeded free flow of life force energy through body, mind and spirit. This book introduces you to techniques which make that possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant reference, December 20, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Energy Medicine (Paperback)
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. Hope this was useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars This exciting book teaches you to heal yourself with energy!, February 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Energy Medicine (Hardcover)
In the foreword to this book, Caroline Myss states "The contribution Donna Eden has made with Energy Medicine will stand as one of the backbone studies as we lay a sound foundation for the field of holistic medicine." I found that Eden's approach to energy medicine is simple, yet amazing.

She incorporates many ancient ways of healing, focusing on Chinese meridian theory, the chakras, the aura, the 5 elements, and four other systems. She explains our multi-layers, how to maintain them, and how to weave all the energy systems together. Her five-minute daily routine for "keeping your energies humming," for instance, is easy to follow and practice yourself.

She also shows how the body is a barometer. Even lack of joy shows up in the body. Eden is a highly developed intuitive, and you will find your own way to heal yourself with the guidance you find in this excellent,well-organized book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for the layman and health professional., February 21, 2001
By 
MRS MARY R KING (Tadworth, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Energy Medicine (Paperback)
Donna's book, Energy Medicine, is written so that it is easily accessible to the layman but it is equally useful to the professional Kinesiologist, and other health professionals, who can gain many insights from Donna's experience in the energy medicine field. This book sets out the principles of Energy Medicine in such a way that, chapter by chapter, knowledge is added layer by layer. Part of the book covers the meridians of the body and Chinese Five Elements Theory written so that even the layman can understand these principles. This book is packed full of self-help measures that the reader can apply immediately. It also contains much interesting material for the professional Kinesiologist, allowing them to add to their repertoire. It includes such things as how to keep yourself and your kids calm, how to get your kids up in the morning (using energy techniques), techniques for breast pain and pain control methods, among many others.

Donna's joy and vitality infuses each page of this book and makes it a very enjoyable read. No one, having met or seen Donna at workshops etc. could doubt the efficacy of energy medicine. She exudes such good health, love of life and positive energy and this comes through in this book. I heartily recommend anyone whose good health is compromised, who wants more daily energy or wants to expand their knowledge of energy medicine, to read this book, use the self-help guidelines and see for themselves how it improves their life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Energy Medicine for Stress Relief, October 5, 2006
This review is from: Energy Medicine (Paperback)
You have to be open-minded for this book!

Donna Eden's Energy Medicine is not a bunch of stretches and exercises. What she teaches is hands-on meridian work and energy movements that can help with a multitude of ailments and issues.

Her techniques, which I use frequently, will help boost the immune system, increase vitality and stamina, relieve pain and complaints, sharpen your memory, and keep yourself balanced and healthy.

She also gives an extremely detailed map of the chakras and meridian points which is great for quick reference.

As a personal trainer, I've incorporated many of her routines into my bag of energy tricks that I use when my clients are stressed at the end (or beginning) of a long day. The breathing techniques and massage techniques that Eden outlines can free someone of those late day blues.

Tapping meridians can invigorate and liven up the body's energy systems and when I demonstrate these movements and processes to my clients they usually think they're pretty weird until they actually start to work!

I also present many of these techniques to groups of sales people or executives. It definitely makes for a fun time, because when you explain how the motions are working most people stop thinking that it's voodoo and start believing that it might actually help them lower stress levels or get rid of their tension headache.

Again, you have to go into this book with a playful mind. Try the exercises, laugh a little if they seem silly, and then incorporate some of them into your day. You'll be amazed at the results!

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS THE BOOK YOU WANT, October 8, 2004
By 
EnergyBeing11:11 "Energy Being" (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Energy Medicine (Paperback)
Been getting various books on energy healing... Some are fluff with just basic regurgitated information about charkas and colors... blah blah blah or are so full of technical stuff that it makes my eyes cross. GIMME SOMETHING I CAN UNDERSTAND AND USE RIGHT AWAY>>> Energy Medicine is a WEALTH of information that is easy to follow and an easy read. I used several of the techniques and have already noticed a difference in energy, balance, perception and an over all great feeling throughout the day. This is a practical guide that you will get many valuable techniques for recharging, balancing, helping others balance and recharge and HEAL!!! Doesn't matter if you are just beginning or are an advanced healer... this is still a fun and fantastic resource with wonderful techniques that take just a few seconds or minutes with a beneficial reaction. BRILLIANT! I had a smile on my face all day long.

Energy Medicine is EASY to understand and is one of the top books I'd suggest for energy healings.

DONNA, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS AMAZING RESOURCE!!!

I'd also strongly suggest... Your Hands Can Heal You by Master Stephen Co, Eric B. Robins (another wealth of info with simple techniques)

For those of you who want to understand more why we have illness in this level of reality and when you shouldn't interfere with someone's karmic experience... I'd suggest Caroline Myss' Essential Guide for Healers. This will open your eyes and humble your ego which many of us need to do before trying to heal others (NOT ALL ILLNESS IS A BAD)... get our ethics on track and learn how to balance your energies so you don't get burnout. Her tone is hard hitting and matter-of-fact but hear past that and learn the essence of what she is saying... let it sink in.

Good Luck Everyone!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a book for people who enjoy feeling bad!, December 18, 2003
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Energy Medicine (Paperback)
If you are one of those rare people who really has no interest in feeling good and having more energy, then, whatever you do, don't buy this book. If you do, don't do a single one of the exercises. You are forewarned that doing these exercises will likely mean that you're going to experience:

* Improved health
* Elevated moods
* A sense of well-being
* A genuine spring in your step
* Energy levels you probably haven't experienced in years

This is a book that's jam-packed with information that's easy to use, yet extremely effective. Eden is generous with her techniques, and for those willing to actually practice them, lives will change for the better--physically, mentally, and spiritually.

I cannot recommend this book strongly enough, or often enough. I've experienced my own miracles from using these techniques, and watched as others who tried them found their own personal miracles.

But it's really not for those who want to maintain an existence of pain, low energy, and bad moods. Those people need to avoid this book at all costs!

For all others--click on the "Add to Shopping Cart" button immediately. You'll love this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Energy Medicine In Practice, October 23, 2000
By 
Keith Tucker M.D. (Anacortes, Washington USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Energy Medicine (Paperback)
As a physician practicing and teaching stress release for maintaining good health I have found Donna Eden's book of immense value. The practical, teachable, and result getting information laid out in plain language makes this book a constant reference text in my work. With explainations and diagrams of the human body's subtle electromagnetic energy flow patterns Donno Eden teaches methods to access and work with these energy pathways for the purpose of balance and health. I have used them myself and verify daily the enhancement to my vitality, energy reserve, and overall wellbeing. My experience and work with clients using the techniques taught in her book have enabled me to be more effective in treating and teaching clients. Donna Eden explains how the energy flow of thoughts can be utilized in conjunction with the more mechanical techniques of energy flow manipulation.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE Best Book On Energy Work, January 7, 2000
This review is from: Energy Medicine (Hardcover)
I have spent alot of time reading various books on energy work but for some reason I kept overlooking this book. Then I was introduced to some interesting healing techniques which I later (by accident) found out had been taken from this book. I bought the book and have found it to be THE best book in the field of energy work. It covers 8 different energy systems while most books only cover one or two. It takes the reader through some really neat exercises and techniques that can be useful regardless of your knowledge or skill in this area. Highly recommended for energy workers.
