This book was fantastic! As a layperson, what has stayed with me the most is 1)the author's history of science and the naming of major periods or influencial people, and 2)an explanation of research done to prove that color has vibrational frequency(ies) and wave band(s). I love it that she combined psychology with the study of the Human Energy Field and higher sensory perception. Yes, there is so much more that could stay with me; but the simple wonderment and appreciation for expressing the ...more

Anyone in the field of healing
This book, though it seems to have a little of what I call "dogma" or the implication that a person must follow a specific belief system for the healing methods to work, has a lot of practical, clear, straightforward advice about how to work with the chakras and the human energy field.
One of the things that I have really enjoyed about the book so far has been the scientific background behind the energy system. I believe in the enrgy field of the human body because I can ...more

This is a great book. Barbara shares her in-depth knowledge and understanding in this field of healing.

In addition to her books, Barbara has set up the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, with campus' in Miami, United States and Japan. She is seen as world renowned expert in her field. So if thi...more

I read both barbara ann books. I chose them both, at the book sellers. They reinforced the independent studies, encouraged in my upbringing years, that is, went right along with my findings, as encouraged to explore and activate/do,by my folks.I consider her work and works to be beautiful...there is a place or two, where I see that she might have taken a more explanatory direction -- still, she didn't...and, for someone practiced, her approach works (I am only considering that those not already ...more

My sister in law gave me this one, because I'm very much interested in healing right now. I hope this will give me some insight on aura healing.

Selfrecommends it for: Anyone interested in healing
This is a work on healing and energy work which has been around for years. They just don't get any better. The book is encyclopedic in its wealth of information and takes you through the course of energy education at your own pace. Everything is covered, nothing missed. This book is timeless as is the information contained in the numerous pages. A definite must have for the idle curious to the dedicated hands on healer. It will make you a believer if you are not already.

Energetic Healing from someone with a Masters In Atmospheric Physics and who worked at NASA and used to be a psychotherapist? COOL! Barbara discusses the human energy field, charkas, and healing all from and balance left and right brain perspective. Perfect for all of the Doubting Thomas, or someone who needs some hard science for "proof". Her case studies, excercises, and end of chapter review questions are wonderful!

this is a textbook of sorts, describing how Barbara Brennan learned to combine her sensitivity to the human energy field with methods to bring healing to physical ailments and other conditions. Not for everyone, but I find it intriguing and am glad there are people like Barbara in the world.

Fantastic book! This really opened my eyes to another world that has always existed, but that we just don't see. It has exercises that you can do to be able to see your own energy field right then and there. I definitely saw it....cool! I love stuff like this! Loads of info. on chakras.

A detailed discussion of how the energy of the human body parallels laws of physics. A teacher of how we control our physical destinies through our mental state of mind, which in turn changes our matter on an energetic level.
