About the author

Ted Andrews was an internationally recognized author, storyteller, teacher, and mystic. A leader in the human potential, metaphysical, and psychic fields, he wrote over 36 books which have been translated into more than two dozen foreign languages. He was featured on many national and local TV and radio programs every year. He won more Visionary Awards than any other author.

Ted was a worldwide acclaimed speaker and teacher. He presented sold-out seminars to thousands of people throughout the US and Canada every year, and his appearances were just as popular and in demand in the United Kingdom, Europe and parts of Asia. In May 2002 he was specially invited to speak to the UNSRC at the United Nations in New York for his writings and work with animals.

This award-winning and best-selling author was involved in the serious study of the esoteric and occult for more than 40 years, and he brought to the field an extensive formal and informal education. He served the public school system for ten years as a teacher and counselor, 7 of which were spent working with disadvantaged students, creating a special needs reading program for which he received both local and state recognition.

Called a true Renaissance man, Ted was trained in music, playing the piano since the age of 12. He composed, performed and produced the music for ten audiocassettes. He could even scratch out a tune or two on the violin/fiddle. He was a longtime student of sacred dance, ballet and Kung Fu. Ted was also schooled in a variety of related holistic healing modalities, including music therapy, herbology, hypnotherapy, acupressure and other alternative techniques. A clairvoyant since childhood, he was also a certified spiritualist medium for nearly 30 years.

Probably best known for his work with animals, Ted held state and federal permits to work with birds of prey. He performed wildlife rescue and worked in wildlife rehabilitation and education. He conducted animal education and storytelling programs with his animals in school classrooms throughout the year, giving freely of his own time and expense to help young people discover the wonder of animals and nature. In his spare time, he enjoyed hanging out with his menagerie of animals, training and playing with his horses and ballroom dancing.

Reviews

[Amy Wiltgen]

This book came to me in a time of great change and healing. I planned to use as a how to for some things, and did do a few color breathings which I then taught my 7 and 9 year old. I started out with this gem, highlighting in many colors, taking down notes, and writing in the margins. I finished realizing the book has so much information that I should just read it once though and then use it as a reference when I am ready to try the different types of healing.

I love structure and reveled in the organization of the book by the senses and starting first with the energetic body which I have been studying for the last 3 seasons and growing spiritually and this book verified my current life choices.

I am happy to have discovered Ted Andrews and look forward to reading more of his books. Being very visual in learning I appreciated the diagrams, flow charts, pictures, and lists.

I highly recommend this book to all I know that are open to reading a book on healing. We all need healing, and to heal one another. This book has techniques that are simple that anyone can do, including my children.

Typical of the genre- such ideas as blockages- imbalances- and energy abound.
I mean does anyone of these people realize that something perfectly balanced is by its very nature stationary.

[Paola Dunbar]

Great beginners guide to energy healing. Easy to read and full of exercises. He talks a bit about chakras and how to balance them through meditation, crystals, elixirs etc. Feeling energy, projecting energy, meridian therapy, colour therapies, healing through sound, healing with flower and gem elixirs, incense, and oils for healing. It would be a great book for anyone interested in healing in the occult as he uses concepts from the occult using pendulums as a form of divination, the suble bodies in Eastern and western philosophy, meditations, and some of the energy techniques would defo be useful for beginners witches.

[Tina]

Very good introduction to self healing methods that anyone can do. As a professional energy healer, this book taught me about sound and color healing which I can add to my practice.

[Jahi Locke]

A great place to start...

[Alexandra]

An actual manual for those interested in this type of learning.

[Lisa Thompson]

Good information.

[Ron Campbell]

This is another book by Ted Andrews that I find to be extremely informative in learning of the Realm of Energy or Chi as it is often called.

Andrews goes into the Healing Vibration of Touch, Sight, Sound, Taste and Smell. As everything is composed of this Energy or Chi (Universal Life-Force) we can sense this energy with all of our five senses. This book is not limited to Healing Hands or Reiki but to Color, Music, Elixirs and Fragrances all have healing attributes.

Anyone wanting to learning about Energy Healing, this is an excellent book for both beginners and advance.

[Al-lison]

This is a really good book for those of us who are interested in ways to help heal naturally.
It's a great starting point and has lots of information on a variety of ways to heal including the use of: Chakras, sound, light, touch, gemstone, meridian, scent and elixirs.
This reference guide provides great diagrams, tables, and explanations that are easy to understand.
A great reference guide and starting point.

[Esther]

An excellent resource for not just the novice, but also the advanced and even expert healer! Ted Andrews again lends his considerable wisdom to the art of spiritual healing, giving an informative and engaging look at spiritual healing, aura manipulation for healing practices, and the application of crystals, sound, color, energy and more in the pursuit of helping others.

I thought this was excellent! Very informative, really helped understand how your thoughts can affect your body, and how to work on that to help heal yourself. A realistic approach, not really about using magic.

[Jen]
