Oprah -- I've found your next Book Club Book! Amy Scher has taken the large and sometimes overwhelming world of energy medicine and healing and digested it into a book that is informative, inspiring and usable. This isn't one of those books that will sit on my shelf -- it is one that I will refer to often and already has pages underlined, pages dog-eared and favorite quotes on post-its by my desk. It is a great book to share with friends and discuss together. And -- it is not for people only with a chronic illness -- this book is for EVERYONE to (as Amy says) "Be You, Be Happy, Be Free!" -- who isn't looking for that in their life? Bottomline: READ this book -- and USE the easy-to-use techniques Amy recommends -- it is the KEY to unlocking a life full of energy and ease!!

This book is a break down of how you can come to take the power of your own well being back for yourself. Very powerful read. I would like to thank the publisher and Net Galley for the opportunity to read this ARC.

I can't imagine anyone who would find this book useful. If you find this book worthwhile, it's clear you didn't read Louise Hay or Donna Eden or Candace Pert or any of the other people she half-name drops in this work. This is like the kiddie version of those well-researched and thorough systems, opting instead for a sort of 'kitchen sink' approach. A real red flag always shows up to me: after describing a technique (that clearly belongs to someone else) she says, basically, 'or do whatever you want'. Look, either the technique is important and those steps are important....or they're not. It's either a serious protocol, or it's flimflam.
I didn't expect much from this book, honestly: got it off the new releases at the public library on a whim, figuring I'd learn something useful. Instead, I learned that plagiarism is okay in the New Age world, and that I know more than an 'expert' who makes her living scamming people with half-assed versions of other's works.

This book literally changed my life. I know it sounds cliche, but hear me out. After a year of being sick with new symptoms piling on every week, I was finally diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease. I was on treatments for months, which helped tremendously, but I would still slip into flare ups every few weeks that would last for a few weeks.
I stumbled on Amy’s first book “How I Saved My Life” after having an experience where I felt like I was dying, actually leaving my body, from the pain, agony, and hopelessness of this disease. I asked for a sign, I asked for something I could turn to.
And I found her.
Amy isn’t the type of practitioner who claims to follow her and you’ll be fine. She doesn’t tell you to get off your meds or to feel shame about using pharmaceuticals if you need them. She just teaches you how to support your mind and spirit so you can move energies out of your body that aren’t serving you anymore. We all have them. We all have the little traumas that have built up over time (remember when you wet your pants in kindergarten and now you have trouble feeling judged? Not my story, but you get the point).
This is the second book I read of hers and I use it daily for about 5-10 minutes as a part of my healing routine. It’s been almost three months since my last big flare! THREE MONTHS!!!!! To go from bed-ridden and unable to walk to taking my life back, I can’t say enough about Amy’s work.
Get the book. You won’t regret it.

I can sum up my review of this book in a single word: hope. Amy Scher has given readers hope for the healing that is possible inside their own bodies, even when other approaches have failed. No. ESPECIALLY when other approaches have failed. Her ideas are based on her own personal healing journey, but supported with and by professional literature and science. And while some of the ideas presented might be a bit outside readers’ ideas of conventional healing, Amy reminds us to take what feels right and leave the rest. This book gives us an entirely new perspective about health, wellness and healing and I’m incredibly grateful for the power inside the pages.

December 24, 2015Me: "When life kicks your ass, kick back" is your mantra. Why is this idea important to you?
Amy: It’s funny because this started off as meaning “kicking back” as in kicking life’s ass right back when it gets tough. But over time, I interpret it more as kick-back as in “relax.” I’ve learned there is a certain balance between forging ahead with conviction to overcome something and letting go so it can unfold. They are both essential to overcoming any obstacle.

This book is LIFE CHANGING!!!! Coming from someone that thought she knew A LOT about this kind of thing, Amy presented things I didn't even realize I didn't know. Things that are quite simply - GAME CHANGERS!!!! There is soooooooooo much information packed into this book you must have your highlighters, pens and stickies ready. It will be a reference book of mine for certain. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book!!!!!

Great resource, she takes a large amount of information on emotional/mind/body healing and health and explains it in a pretty succinct and accessible way.

*3.5 STARS*
- An interesting book and Scher has a genuine and fascinating story about her own personal journey to healing...
- I enjoyed the personal client stories she shared, which made many of the concepts and techniques accessible. I love the concept of energy medicine and believe it's absolutely crucial to all levels of healing.
- Some of the techniques Scher recommends are not new, but include EFT tapping in various areas of the body, as well as muscle testing. A good, basic introduction to the world of energy medicine, but if someone is looking to heal serious issues and conditions on their own, I would recommend they reach out to an experienced energy practitioner, as I don't believe a lay person can easily heal themselves on their own just by reading this book.

This book talked a lot about energy which I had never really been into, although I ended up really enjoying it, and there were lots of helpful quotes.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.”
“Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a whole lotta love to heal. The real truth, though is that the only love you really need is yours. HeLing is sometimes difficult and scary, but remember you were born brave. you are ready.”

I have had chemical sensitivities, food sensitivities, and mental issues since I was born. They stalked me growing up. They only got worse. At 12 years old and at one of my lowest points, I decided I needed change. Doctors left me without answers. I vomited almost everyday. I had asthma. I had no energy. I kept repeatedly going into hypoglycemia without being aware of it. I would black out and thankfully sleep it off. I did research and started to learn what my body needed in terms of diet. It was my new found love. I felt great. In 2014, I participated in a construction project. My asthma returned. My body slowly began to spiral out of control. I tried naturopathy and homeopathy. I panicked. I was mad. I felt betrayed by my body. I did learn how a lot of the chemicals and products we are exposed to are harmful to our bodies. I made changes.
Still...I only got worse. I wasn't sleeping. I fell into a bad mental health relapse. I was losing it. I started to have head splitting migraines. Something had to stop.
It was everything around me and my attitude toward it and myself. I even started to wear a mask, which was embarassing. The masks were not enough. I had to stop being around people and going out in public. I did. It all faded. The migraines and asthma. Within a few months, I gained my sanity back. I was lost and in denial. I felt so much better, but I was frustrated. I decided to start listening to my body and what it needed. The shock. My closet had to be cleaned out. I remember sleeping on the floor. Everything changed. I felt like everything went from everything to nothing so fast. I felt better, but it was emotionally and mentally draining. I went to an Iridologist who asked me about trauma. I am a very reserved person, who does not like emotions. I wanted to cry, but I brushed it off. I denied it, even with myself. It rocked me and stayed at the back of my mind. I had learned muscle testing and used it everyday with all my food and anything I bought. I was still having issues with foods. I would be fine one day, then suddenly, it was like my body was trying to kill me. My parents went away on a trip. I was home with my brothers. I had a splitting migraine after lunch that day. I could barely function by the end of the day. I went to bed at about eight. (I usually go to bed at around 10.) I lied in bed. I remember my head hurting so bad and feeling cold. My body felt numb. I started to have convulsions. I wanted to call an ambulance, but I couldn't say anything. I thought I was going to die. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my whole life. I knew something was missing, I just couldn't figure out what. It drove me crazy. I would have days where I could only eat eggs. I couldn't drink water some days. I would sit at the toilet feeling so sick and ready to die. I wanted to change. I had my reasons to live, but I didn't even care anymore. I needed to change my mind. My body was using these as signals that I needed change.
I was barely able to eat and I kept testing for energy blockages. I was confused. After doing research and reading articles about the healing mindset, I ran into Amy Scher. I learned about EFT on her website. It was worth a try. I felt amazing after I first did it. I continued doing it and my body began to some accept foods. I felt like I was learning to let go of the things that hurt me. I struck something. Everyone has always thought I am crazy. I am, I have always loved it. I needed this book. I am very familiar with energy medicine. I used muscle testing in my everyday life before reading this book. A lot of people say energy medicine is fishy and unexplainable, at least that is a common attitude about it. I had my own theories and ideas about it. (Although some methods of energy medicine I don't support.) This book put it into the words I could never say clearly to people. Of course, people will still choose to reject and not understand it, but oh well. As of writing this, I have been using these methods for a about a week. My mindset has fully shifted. I have had my moments, and I'm dealing with these stress responses with food. A new food makes me sick everyday, but thankfully after the day, I am fine with them. I have been able to eat cabbage, which I couldn't eat before.
As a 2 year invalid, I will say this. To you who is sick in any aspect of your life: You have an amazing opportunity. Something that not everyone chooses to experience. Healing. It is beautiful. It is a beautiful journey. Something that will shape you into something beautiful and will continue throughout your whole life. People will ignore you, hate you, and look down on you. But that doesn't mean you have to look down on you. You don't have to let this pain control you. But you do have to choose to heal.
I have earned my hope back. I will have my ups and downs. I don't know what lies ahead, but I know in the end it will be beautiful.

I LOVED this book. It is my habit to stick post-it flags at spots where I find highly relevant bits that I want to type out, reflect on and keep forever. In Amy's book, I had to stop and make my notes after reading the first half because there were so many post-its marking so many spots that I knew I would be completely overwhelmed if leaving my note making until the very end. It's a good thing I did it that way. I've now finished the book and there's an absolute sea of post-it flags to work through, many of them marking entire pages of gold.
I'm interested in energy medicine, and consider myself quite responsive to energy work if Reiki and other treatments are any indication. But I've never tried any of the techniques myself because they seemed so esoteric and unapproachable for the layperson. Amy's book has changed all of that. It's written in a clear, helpful, reassuring style. I'm starting to work with the ideas Amy talks about today, and am excited.
Update — August 2021
While I still loved the book, it’s a 4 for me now, not a 5. Amy’s story is incredible, her writing personable and clear, and I still marked dozens of spots whereI wanted to make notes. The difference this time, four years after my last reading, is that some of the actions that felt a bit too woo woo to me last time are feeling that even more so this time around. And this time around I’m much more comfortable with all things esoteric, so my uncertainty is telling me a lot. However, I still think it’s an incredibly valuable book, in part because it so clearly links emotions to physical symptoms.

Este libro me hizo ver partes de mi enfermedad que no veía, lo recomiendo mil. Dentro de las frases que más me gustaron están:
1. La enfermedad o los retos emocionales suelen surgir después de que vivimos de una manera que no es verdadera para quienes somos en realidad.
2. Sanar es en parte desaprender o dejar de creer en cualquier cosa que no te ayude a sentir bien.
3.Las creencias crean patrones de autosabotaje.
4.Es necesario dejar ir las cosas simplemente por el hecho de que pesan.
5.Ten cuidado con lo que te dices porque siempre estás escuchando.
6.Si actúas desde un lugar de energía de víctima te vuelves a victimizar.
7.Hay una razón para todo lo que sucede en tu vida: te está llevando algo bueno, te esta alejando de algo no tan bueno o está pasandoporque necesita tu atención.

Amy Scher has a wonderful gift in captivating the reader and inspiring people to believe that ANYONE CAN HEAL. By including her own personal experiences and interactions with her patients, this book helped me form a plan on my path to getting rid of negative energy and self-healing. She also opened my eyes to many techniques (e.g. the Chakra Tapping and the 3-Hearts Method) and other approaches (e.g. using post-its, changing our verbiage to promote positive thinking, etc.) that are very valuable--so valuable that I bookmarked these methods using tabs so I can easily refer to them in the future. With this book, I very much have the confidence in self-healing and connecting the mind, body, and soul.

Es en esencia un libro de ejercicios, a mi me gustan los de lectura en corrido. En ese entonces era muy escéptica de ciertas nociones esotéricas y practicas relacionadas a los chakras, mantras y cuestiones energéticas. La autora logra explicar de manera muy concisa la relaciona entre ciertos padecimientos físicos relacionados a la ansiedad y sus causas psiquicas pero los ejercicios que propone están orientados a técnicas ya probadas para reducir la ansiedad junto con trabajos energéticos.
Irónicamente ahora que soy creyente de estas practicas (tapas, meditaciones, asanas, respiracion, oración, algunas moderaciones) solo lo consulto para casos en concreto, hay algo que no me termina de convencer del todo.

Cuando empecé a leer el libro pensé que iba a ser de gran ayuda pero no lo fue, solo no era para mi. Hay muchas partes del libro que la autora utiliza bastantes repeticiones por lo que aburre al lector. Me decepciono mucho porque siento que el libro se enfoca a personas que no saben la causa de la ansiedad, es más como un manual para poder identificar esto. Pero para las personas que tenemos ansiedad de muchos años de evolución y que reconocemos exactamente de dónde viene no sentí que fuera de gran ayuda para mi.
Tampoco me esperaba que fuera tan enfocado en las energías, conexiones con la tierra, meridianos, chakras etc.

The book discusses how you can heal yourself, which I believe too. The client examples were helpful. Reiterating how the body reacts to stress, disease, trauma, and unresolved issues resonated with me.
I have a background in energy therapy and found the book to be informative. I could see sharing the book with clients who have a foundation in energy healing. I would encourage clients to have a trained counselor to help process the issues and situations that arise.

September 26, 2023Not the kind of book I normally read, but a friend recommended this to me while I was in the midst of various health situations. There are some useful aspects of it, especially the idea of letting go and not pouring all your energy into fighting your illness/circumstances. Other parts, like the law of attraction and cleansing harmful beliefs verge on the victim blaming New Age Woo I steer clear of.

I liked a lot about this book. Some good energetic healing/meditation practices. I do feel like it had a ton of content, so hoping to get my own copy and be able to bookmark and highlight things to refer back to since I Don’t feel like one time was enough to retain the things I want to try. Very dense with content and info. I think having an index of techniques or everything together in the back for reference would’ve been helpful.

While my struggles are different than Amy's I could totally relate to much of her journey in how I have found answers for myself. She does a good job of explaining things and has some great tips. My one complaint is that she leaves God out of the equation which in my opinion is just denying who is actually doing the healing.

Le doy 3 estrellas por las técnicas que comparte que pueden ayudar en determinado momento. Sin embargo, me tardé mucho en terminarlo de leer porque no me atrapaba, fue repetitivo y de pronto perdía el hilo.
Se pudo haber resumido en las técnicas porque si lo lees en un pico alto de la ansiedad lo repetitivo se hará eterno.

No soy fan de los libros de autoayuda pero después de una crisis de ansiedad que tuve recientemente, me dí cuenta que este libro sería el complemento necesario para el resto de mi tratamiento. Las técnicas son muy efectivas y son una enorme herramienta de soporte. Es un libro práctico, muy bien desarrollado.
