More About the Author

Jane Alexander is a UK-based journalist and author of over twenty non-fiction titles in the fields of wellbeing, natural health and Mind Body Spirit. She has monthly columns in several UK magazines, often appears on television and radio and is quoted in the press as an expert on natural health and alternative spirituality. She has also ghosted several books for celebrity authors.

Jane's blog, Diary of a Desperate Exmoor Woman (http://exmoorjane.blogspot.com) has a large and enthusiastic following and was shortlisted for the Author Blog Awards. She tweets as @exmoorjane and is active on social media platforms.

Jane grew up in a family which was fascinated by natural forms of wellbeing and the arcane. She learned tarot and yoga from the age of seven and went on to study Kabbalah, herbalism, homeopathy and flower remedies from her teens. She has also trained in past life therapy, shamanism and SHEN.

Jane has a very down-to-earth and pragmatic approach to spirituality and wellbeing. She insists she is no "guru" (despite often being given the label). 'I'm afraid I don't always practice what I preach,' she admits ruefully. 'We live in a busy, crazy world and few people have the time to devote their lives to perfection. So don't beat yourself up. I think making even small changes, little shifts, can make a huge difference. Do what you can and dump the guilt.'

Jane is married (to beer writer Adrian Tierney-Jones, editor of 1001 Beers you Must Taste Before you Die) with a young son and two ridiculous dogs.
They live on Exmoor, a wild and beautiful part of the UK, a place of myth, magic and brooding intensity - an inspiration for her work.

Jane is now turning her hand to writing teen fiction - calling on her knowledge of the arcane and a very clear memory of being sixteen. Her novels blend supernatural romance, horror and edgy realism.

This review is from: The Energy Secret : Practical Techniques for Understanding and Directing Vital Energy (Hardcover)
The Energy Secret was picked on a whim as my introductory flight into the shpere of energy knowledge.I flew throught the amazingly entertainig dialog of the books contents as if I were talking to Jane Alexander personally.Not only did she explain a very broad subject in terms I could easily understand ,but she also peaked my interest in all the related subjects she introduced.One of my best buys yet!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Secrets released ..., January 22, 2012
By 
Ashen Venema (Farnham, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Energy Secret : Practical Techniques for Understanding and Directing Vital Energy (Hardcover)
The dissemination of spiritual techniques to enrich our lives can be overly complex and off putting. Jane's approach is light hearted and humorous. Don't be fooled though, she is well experienced, well-read, and deeply intuitive.
How aware are you of your body, for example? Are you in touch with the natural rhythm of your breath, or are you overriding the heart? ... its stoic power, its faithful toil ... throughout, the tone is genuinely fresh and without pressure - try what you feel comfortable with - and yet, even a doubting mind will feel enticed to dip into the simple practices and benefit. I warmly recommend The Energy Secret, a timely reminder that as conscious beings we have the power to bring balance to our lives and those around us. Jane's magical skill with words makes this a very accessible winner in the self-help field of books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Using the force, February 25, 2006
This review is from: The Energy Secret : Practical Techniques for Understanding and Directing Vital Energy (Hardcover)
The reason I bought this book was to gain knowledge on how we can use "energy" as a force. I am learning to ways of the Jedi Religion, and part of the belief is that energy is all around us, it is how we harness the energy and use it in our lives. This book is very usefull in this context, from looking at energy we have in our emotion, to physical energy. Email me for more info.
