Robert Bruce, author of Astral Dynamics, a metaphysical classic, has worked privately as a healer, mystic, spiritual consultant and paranormal researcher for 30 years and provides a free consulting and healing service to the global Internet community. He has developed an exciting method that enables readers to enhance their physical health and spiritual practice by providing natural support for their personal energy systems. Bruce's method, which can be learned in 30 minutes, delivers such profound benefits as improved immune system function; enhanced vitality, energy levels and healing from everyday ailments; better appetite control and easier weight management; and increased development of psychic and spiritual abilities. Those feeling "stuck" on a plateau in spiritual practice—from yoga, t'ai chi and chi gong to kung fu or reiki—or simply searching for a way to increase their well-being and overall enjoyment of life will want to experience the accelerated spiritual progress made possible by Bruce's simple method. His step-by-step approach is Western in orientation and vocabulary, and it incorporates thought form imaging, intention, elemental properties, self-healing practices and essential grounding exercises to encourage safe, rapid results. Bruce reports that most people experience significant energy body activity in their first practice session.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've trained with Bruce and know the system. December 25, 2007

By Richard Griffiths

Format:Paperback

I've been a healer since I was a young boy-I was able to move energy around at 7 years old or so though I was 11 before doing it regular and 14 before realising I could heal with it.

Robert is one of the few authors who's techniques I can use and relate to. I've taught his specific techniques to a few other people to help them with specific issues. It IS easy to teach and transfer this skill. Just requires a little patience and imagination. Gone are the days of difficult visual only stuff. Instead you start tactiley and add the other senses in.

I'm not a new ager, commercial therapist or qualified anything-I use my gift freely just because I can :). I don't argue the toss about suggestion, theories, or how/why it works. It works and works well so not too bothered about any debating now. That's for researchers.

If you want to get a feel for this, goto his website and lookup the tutorials or just buy the book. You will, if you follow instructions, get energy sensations in under half an hour. Some folks-5 minutes. Its that easy.

Btw a belief in negs,spirits or etheric stuff is not required. A willingness to try out a fresh new mental exercise is all you need. Regardless of what you think the results are really from.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST FOR ANY ENERGY WORKER July 19, 2007

By Schmit Jean

Format:Paperback

ENERGY WORK is an easy-to-learn, pragmatic but nevertheless very efficient approach to the often mystified subject of inner energy work. The system's main working principle is feeling and body awareness - as opposed to the mostly visually oriented eastern systems.
Written in an easy language, the author presents numerous exercises to activate the energy body and the different energy centers (chakras) which results in a stronger physical health; an enhanced healing capacity and increased psychic and spiritual abilities (dont forget: Robert Bruce is a specialist of astral projection and his book ASTRAL DYNAMICS, in which he first explained the principles of his energy work, is a classic!).
Practice the techniques explained in ENERGY WORK alone or together with your own spiritual system, and you will be amazed by its power!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Energy Work for any energy or light worker!!
Thanks a lot Robert! Keep up the good work!

5.0 out of 5 stars Energy body development system, unprecedented in its effectiveness May 21, 2008

By Marina Felix

Format:Paperback

Over the years, I have worked with many systems that aim to develop one's energy body, including yoga, Tai-Chi, breathing-based and other techniques. I have found that Robert Bruce's Energy Work methods are by far the most direct and effective in stimulating and developing your energy body. You can feel the results within 2-3 minutes of doing these exercises. Thank you for this gift, Mr. Bruce!

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to squash the skeptic in you get this book. GREAT March 24, 2008

A Kid's Review

Format:Paperback

I have read many books on Qigong and Chigung all are great very informative but this book if there would be any would be the one I would use as a quik reference I learned straight forward things about the energy in the body while other books give an excercise but dont tell why it works now I know.
The system will not take years more in one session it builds off tactile sensations or more takes something we already know and helps us understand something we see as mysterious. Visualization is not the main part of this book but you can still incorporate the exercises into any routine you already do and probably be able to better feel energy than those who dont know the great techniques in this book.
1.Learn about the different energy storage centers in the body .
2. Learn how to feel the energy in as little as one try I did.
3. The secret or thing unique about this book is touch everything builds off of a sense of touch that helps to recognize energy.
4. Have the ability to heal yourself and others most importantly you'll actually feel the energy not just imagine it though you can still do whatever routine you already do this will be an unbelievable compliment to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good primer for energy workers November 23, 2007

By Taylor Ellwood VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

This is a good primer for energy workers, especially beginning or intermediate energy workers. Bruce manages to clearly and effectively explain how energy work can be done, as well as introducing the reader to exercises that will help the reader understand how to harness the internal energy s/he has at hir disposal. Bruce also manages to explain energy work without a lot of the usual mystical jargon that many books employ. His writing is down to earth and effective for what he offers.

The only thing I would've liked to have seen from Bruce was internal citations. I looked at his bibliography and its clear he drew from a variety of sources, but I'm not really clear in what context he uses those sources.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and easy to learn March 15, 2010

By Kristijan

Format:Paperback

Robert Bruce's New Energy Ways (NEW) is a practical and easy to learn approach to energy work and energy body development that gives results quicker than any other system I've encountered. The techniques in this book do not use visualization. Instead, they rely on a non visual system called tactile imaging. The main idea is to develop your energy body in a healthy and balanced way by stimulating secondary and tertiary energy centers before you start working with your primary energy centers (main chakras).

Most of the book contains practical and detailed descriptions of exercises, and explanations on what to expect, what problems might occur and how to counter them. It warns you of potential risks and tells you what to avoid.
It encourages a hands-on approach and actually doing energy work rather than discussing theory.

The writing is very clear and understandable. There were no contradictions or word salads that I was aware of, nor was I at any point confused with what the author was talking about. Instead of using Eastern terminology the author mostly uses modern Western wording. Eastern terms are used only when there are no sufficiently accurate synonyms, but a good explanation of those terms is given. The author obviously did his best to make the book reader friendly.

There is one more thing worth noting. The content of this book is by no means the same as the online NEW manual that Bruce offers on his website for free. The book goes deeper into the system itself and offers a lot more material to consider and use, like additional exercises, primary center work, group work, blockage removal, using elemental energy, healing etc.

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in energy body development.
