Hands of Life: Use Your Body's Own Energy Medicine for Healing, Recovery, and Transformation [Paperback]

Julie Motz (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 29, 2000

A revolutionary book by a pioneering healer, Hands of Life takes energy medicine where it has rarely gone before--into the operating room--as Julie Motz reveals the true healing power of the body and puts it in the reader's very own hands.

As one of the first nontraditional healers allowed to work in an operating room, Julie Motz harnesses the body's own energy to help patients survive risky operations, such as heart transplants and cancer surgery. Now she shares remarkable case studies of healing, recovery, and transformation--and gives readers step-by-step guidance on accessing one's own innate healing energy.

Treating the body and spirit as an interconnected whole, Motz explains her breakthrough form of healing, the ultimate synthesis of Eastern holistic healing and Western medicine. She shows how strong emotion affects our bodies, creating energy imbalances that can lead to illness if unaddressed, and illustrates how we can heal.

This review is from: Hands of Life: Use Your Body's Own Energy Medicine for Healing, Recovery, and Transformation (Paperback)

This revolutionary take on the healing arts is so fundamentally sound that I found myself wondering why no one had thought and said these things before! Julie's experiences and descriptions of how she helps her patients process their surgeries and illnesses and GROW through them are truly inspirational. Our bodies want to know and understand our choices, and Julie does the obvious: talking to the individual organs and helping her patients truly inhabit their own bodies. This book is SO well-written and moving - You may not agree with every hypothesis she presents, but you will definitely FEEL happy to be human as a result of reading this book!

This review is from: Hands of Life: Use Your Body's Own Energy Medicine for Healing, Recovery, and Transformation (Paperback)

As healers we often forget to look at the best tools we have been given, our hands. "Hands of Life:Use your Body's Own Energy Medicine for Healing, Recovery and Transformation", reminds us of the blessing of touch. Reflective as well as informational this is a great book to give for a graduate going into the healing or teaching profession. We find ourselves starving for love and affection in our daily lives. Ms. Motz teaches that in this world where touch is seen more and more as invasive and suspicious, we can use the healer in us all to affect this attitude. We can teach others that touch is another form of nutrition that feeds the spiritual heart as well as the physical body. If you are looking for the best book on the subject of hands on healing, this is it.
