Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Recently, a friend of mine had some back surgery to alleviate some pain he had been experiencing. The doctors said he would only need a few days to recover, but it ended up taking several weeks.

I found out about this long after the surgery was complete. I wish I had known about it beforehand so I could have sent him some healing energy to speed his recovery.

Have you ever wanted to do that? Or perhaps somebody complained of a headache and you knew that it would take some time for the pain to go away after they took a pain reliever. Perhaps you wished that you could quickly remove the pain.

You don't need to study and practice for years and dedicate your life to a single healing modality to become a healer. You can learn a system quickly and effectively. But which system? If you don't know (or if you want to start with one that you have heard of), you need to get Ted Andrews' The Healer's Manual.

Here you will find the complete occult theories of the body and its relationship to feelings, ideas, and more. You'll also find out about the energies that run through the body, how they run through it (via the meridians) and how the organs, bones, blood, flesh, mind, and energy combine to form a holistic being who needs to be treated holistically.

Once you have the basic theory, this book instructs you in a mode of healing based on each of the five senses. For taste there are healing elixirs; for sight there is color healing; for hearing there is toning; Etheric touch works with our tactile sense; and Ted reveals the mystery of scent for the sense of smell. The book is filled with charts and diagrams that make it easy to learn how to apply any of the many exercises and techniques to practical use.

If you have ever thought you might like to heal, I urge you to consider buying, reading, and using this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Straight forward, helpful, easy and wide variety of info., June 18, 1998

This review is from: The Healer's Manual: A Beginner's Guide to Energy Therapies (Llewellyn's Health & Healing) (Paperback)

I have studied for many years and am a healer (chakra/psychic/Reiki/stones/crystals), and psychic reader. This book is full of descriptions, tables of therapies, and excercises with complete instructions. Great for anyone interested in making life better - for yourself or others. Matter of Fact style does not try to convince anyone of the truth, it simply explain various ways to tap into personal power and healing powers. Not simply for the beginner either. GREAT reference book. Covers a very wide area of techniques.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Healer's Manual, June 15, 2001

By 

Cassandra Barnes "Cassandra" (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Healer's Manual: A Beginner's Guide to Energy Therapies (Llewellyn's Health & Healing) (Paperback)

Ted Andrews's book, The Healer's Manual: A Beginner's Guide to Energy Therapies is "a manual for helping yourself . . . it will show you that you can control and heal more aspects of your life than you probably ever imagined."

Energy (vibrational) therapies are based on the senses. They include healing through touch, color, sound, taste, and smell. Andrews explains exactly what each therapy is and then explains how to use them to heal yourself as well as others. His explanations are written in easy-to-understand terms.

He starts by defining holistic health and detailing the human energy system. He says that "health is the ideal balance between all major parts of our being--body, mind, and soul--in conjunction with our environment and all that we encounter." He emphasizes throughout the book that all healing comes from within, and that individuals must assume responsibility for their own health.

Andrews discusses how the body is a complex energy system and explains that "vibrational remedies are subtle energy stimuli which interact with the energy systems of the human body to help stabilize and correct physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual conditions." He provides a complete description of the chakras, which control all the energy entering or leaving the body, along with information on balancing each chakra.

The bulk of the book is devoted to techniques and exercises for using vibrational therapies in healing. The exercises are generally quite simple and don't require the purchase of expensive equipment or supplies. For example, many of the color therapy techniques can be done with pieces of colored fabric or paper. Some sound healing can be done by running up and down the scales in a certain way.

The appendices include special information on alleviating pain and long distance, or absent, healing. He also includes a chart of major ailments and the specific therapies recommended for each. Andrews emphasizes that his recommendations are not prescriptive, but are guidelines only, meant only to help with understanding how vibrational therapies work.

Andrews wrote his book to "provide an opportunity, for anyone willing to put forth the effort, to experience the innate healing ability that resides within us all." Following his recommendations does not require that you be "gifted." Readers interested in learning how to stimulate their healing abilities will find the Healer's Manual informative and practical.

This review is from: The Healer's Manual: A Beginner's Guide to Energy Therapies (Llewellyn's Health & Healing) (Paperback)

The Author clearly did his homework while writing this volume.

Has lots of exercizes and techniques.

This book doesn't limit itself to Qigong and the direction of Qi, but this book has some of the best illustrations of the 12 primary meridians and the 8 Qi vessels I have seen.

The only better illustrations of the energy pathways that I have seen are in "Ch'i: The Power Within" Geoff and Phyllis Pike, and "The Root of Chinese Qigong" Dr. Jwing-Ming Yang.

My only minor nitpick is that some may incorrectly transmit personal Qi and feel drained instead of transmiting the Universal Qi all around you. If you feel drained visualize gathering energy from your surroundings. People see Qi as a white or gold colored mist.

Some (as I am) may feel drawn to energy forms of healing. and I can personaly recommend Qigong, Reiki, and Seichim. I have personal experience with these energy healing modalities.

I hold a 7th Facet Seichim Master certificate, and Master/Teacher certificates for three forms of Reiki (Karuna, Tibetan, and Usui Shiki Ryoho).

I sincerely hope that more people will take up energy healing modalities.
