This book is a wonderful guide for all those interested in spiritual/energy healing. Echo does a wonderful job sharing her experiences and motivating every one to give energy healing a try. This book is a practical step by step guide that will give you the confidence to start healing yourself and others. "There is nothing complicated about God's healing energy. Anyone can be a channel for God's healing energy". As a Metaphysical Minister, I agree one hundred percent with Echo's Statement, every one is a healer in potential, all you need is the intention and a loving heart. Please do yourself a favor, read this book and start healing the world. You will be surprised how easy it is.

This is a wonderful book because it is so direct and honest. In it, you sense Echo Bodine as a person and you see what she has gone through in order to make her gift public. There is also heartfelt advice about entering into the healing practice.

On the first page, Echo says, "Not feeling worthy is the biggest barrier to receiving healing." I would argue that not feeling worthy is also one of the biggest barriers to being a healer as well. Echo tells of how she began offering healings while she held another job as a barber. Because of her religious upbringing, she felt for a long time that healing was God's gift and should be done for free. But when she was not getting enough rest and her bills weren't being paid, she began to see that God had not given her the gift to live in poverty. As she began to accept the gifts offered by her clients, she realized that God intended for her to support herself AND heal others.

Echo also challenges the idea that you can only heal in person. She tells of times where she was able to send healing via distance. While she tries to do most healings in person, she has found that distance healing works as well.

In this book she offers support for those giving healings and those receiving them. She warns of patients and healers who have a sexual agenda and she answers questions about self healing and being a healer while still being faithful to God.

What I love about this book is that it is REAL. There is little to no arrogance here. Just heartfult love and sympathy for her readers and her clients. She is willing to admit her own mistakes and grow from them.

While I do not agree 100% with everything Echo says, this book is a valuable resource. And if you are a Christian struggling with questions about how healing works with your spiritual upbringing, you will be especially blessed. This is not necessarily a "religious" book, but Echo is a deeply spiritual person and does talk about her personal experience with Christianity and how it has affected her healing.

I think this is a must have book if you are new to healing work and you wish to gain information and support through your process (whether you are giving sessions or receiving them).

A friend at work is very much into this type of healing, so I decided I'd get the book and read up on it. Alternative health care modalities are very in vogue at many hospitals right now.

What I found most appealing about the book was that the author seems very sincere in her approach to health and well being. She doesn't try to persuade the reader to alter his or her beliefs, she simply tells those who want to learn about the techniques how to proceed.

Most importantly she discusses what should and should not be done in a healing session. She cautions the practitioner to ask the client if they wish to be touched before doing so. She notes that she sends a letter explaining what the client can expect by way of procedures so that they are comfortable from the outset. She also points out that not all clients and practitioners will necessarily click; that clients may or may not feel better after a treatment.

Probably the best advice she gives is that death is sometimes the outcome of the healing process. This is very difficult to understand and to accept no matter whether the practitioner is a medical doctor, a nurse or a healer. Sometimes release from the misery of disease is the greatest blessing to the sufferer.

While I'm not certain where I'm at with this type of thing--I probaby fit into the author's skeptics catagory--I know many people do, and since as a nurse I deal with patients who are sometimes dying, sometimes in pain, sometimes confused or anxious, I am accepting of any treatment that will help that person.

A nice little book.

This book takes you through a journey, Echo's journey of how she learned and developed her skills/gifts. I highly encourage you to pick up a copy and read it. I enjoyed it so much that I bought a couple more copies and lent them out as well as gave some as gifts. Easy to read and enjoyable.

Echo Bodine has given the world a gift with her guidance and knowledge of healing from her own experience. This is a step-by-step guide anyone can follow. Echo makes you realize we all have the gift of healing and we need to tap into the universal energy available to us all and share it with those who seek.

Thank you Echo for reminding me to use that energy and keep it flowing. Your book opened my eyes to the fact that I had been holding back the flow.

I have been receiving alot of messages, synchronicities & signs. This book is definately one that I was meant to read. I read the whole book last night and was just blown away, could not put it down! I felt there was alot of information in this book that God wanted me to know. I'm an RN who is passionate about healing and very interested in all kinds of energy healing/alternative medicine. I have been told by psychics and of course my own intuition that I have powerful healing hands. I just need to practice and be patient. This book is quick and to the point, easy to read and understand. She writes about her work experiences and gives great advice for people who are thinking about getting into energy healing, how to do clearing, how to be a channel for God's healing and how to make your clients feel comfortable. This is the 1st I have heard of Echo and looking forward to reading all her books. God Bless!

Echo's message was practical and loving.
Feel the love and read this sweet book.
