From Publishers Weekly

Eden (Energy Medicine) conducts workshops and lectures on the ancient practice of healing the body via its own energy systems. The first two chapters of her latest book serve as a primer, introducing nine basic energy systems, including the chakras, the meridians and the aura. Eden explains how keeping these energy systems balanced and flowing can help prevent illness, promote well-being and aid the body in self-healing. She also notes that while energy healing has been labeled an alternative method, its influence and importance has been increasingly recognized by research scientists and mainstream physicians. Eden then delves into a fascinating chapter-by-chapter discussion of health issues of interest to women, ranging from hormones, menstruation, sexuality, pregnancy and fertility to menopause and weight management, with accompanying energy exercises related to each topic. Included are tips to relieve PMS symptoms and hot flashes, techniques that get sexual energy flowing and a variety of movements designed to maintain overall energy balance. Proponents of energy work will no doubt welcome Eden's new book, and open-minded readers unfamiliar with the concept of energy medicine may be lured by methods that are noninvasive, free of charge and freely available at one's own fingertips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than I Could Have Imagined, August 22, 2008

By	Long Time Spiritual Seeker "Long Time Spiritu... - See all my reviews

If someone had asked me if it were possible for Donna Eden to top "Energy
Medicine," I would have said "No way." And would I ever have been wrong.

My favorite aspect of her new book is something technical... with huge
implications that go beyond what is simply technical. When Donna describes
her experience reading auras, she writes about going all the way to the
level of that person's soul.

This is exactly the direction where my work has been developing over the past decade, which has caused me to feel counter-culture as an aura reader and writer. Well, counter-culture I may remain for a while but, now, not alone!

Donna's new book, written with the collaboration of the great Dr. David
Feinstein, had me hooked as soon as I saw her extraordinary photo on the
back cover. The photos throughout, the cover, and interior design of this
book are the most appealing I've seen in any book, improvements even over
"Energy Medicine," which was "merely" a standout among illustrated self-help
books.

You won't find this book's brilliant new techniques elsewhere, and it's an
understatement to say they have been tested. It's great that Donna Eden has personally taught these techniques to 8,000 women and thousands of
(exceptionally smart) men, but what's really great is that I can learn them!

Right from this book! And even know in advance the tiny investment of time
that I will be making! (That's because the exercises outlined here
considerately list time as part of the recipe.)

The organization and contents of the book couldn't be more helpful, and I
adore the stories. For years, I've been "Doing Donna" daily. Clearly, now
I'll be adding to my routine -- and my quality of life -- thanks to "Energy Medicine for Women."

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! THIS IS THE "OWNER'S MANUAL" FOR BECOMING A MORE HEALTHY, HAPPY, VIBRANT WOMAN!!!, October 28, 2008

By	Dr. Suzanne Lerner (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Donna Eden is one of the foremost experts in Energy Medicine. Now she and her partner David Feinstein have collaborated on a fantastic new book: ENERGY MEDICINE FOR WOMEN. This book is an encyclopedia of simple energy exercises you can easily learn, and use in only a few minutes a day. You can learn how to be a vibrant, capable woman who knows how to work skillfully with the rhythms of your very own body.

AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!!!

Unfortunately, Traditional Western Medicine has tended to ignore how much our hormones influence our Body, Mind & Spirit. I think the researchers decided that hormones were somehow just "too complicated." As a Psychologist, I work with a lot of clients who would prefer to find natural ways to support their mental and physical health, without taking drugs. Many of my clients would prefer NOT to go on antidepressants all month long, with their many side effects, just because they sometimes get depressed with PMS or Menopausal symptoms. Now Donna offers skillful ways to keep our bodies in balance, naturally. HOORAY!

This is a book you won't want to be without, whether you are wanting help with PMS, Pregnancy, Menopause, or just general health & vitality. This book is truly a treasure map, helping us to once again appreciate our amazing, miraculous women's bodies.

Thank-you Donna & David!

5.0 out of 5 stars a gem, September 30, 2008

By	Kathryn Shimmura - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I can only echo the other reviewers - this book is a gem. I even like it a little better than her earlier work, Energy Medicine, because it is more concise. Eden also cites books written recently with scientific backup for what subtle energies are and how they function. That helps me because although I know this stuff works, I also have the heart of a skeptic. As someone who is very dissatisfied with the way medicine is practiced here in the U.S. and who has come away from doctor's appointments feeling like something is missing, I believe this type of energy medicine is the wave of the future and is an extremely useful addition to, but not a substitute for, conventional medicine. It's too bad that so few conventionally trained doctors have jumped on the bandwagon.
