Hands of Life: Use Your Body's Own Energy Medicine for Healing, Recovery, and Transformation

by Julie Motz

A revolutionary book by a pioneering healer, Hands of Life takes energy medicine where it has rarely gone before--into the operating room--as Julie Motz reveals the true healing power of the body and puts it in the reader's very own hands.

As one of the first nontraditional healers allowed to work in an operating room, Julie Motz harnesses the body's own energy to help patients survive risky operations, such as heart transplants and cancer surgery. Now she shares remarkable case studies of healing, recovery, and transformation--and gives readers step-by-step guidance on accessing one's own innate healing energy.

Treating the body and spirit as an interconnected whole, Motz explains her breakthrough form of healing, the ultimate synthesis of Eastern holistic healing and Western medicine. She shows how strong emotion affects our bodies, creating energy imbalances that can lead to illness if unaddressed, and illustrates how we can heal.

An excellent account of energy healing by a very talented healer who worked with surgeons in operating rooms, connecting physical illnesses with their emotionally-related issues.

I couldn't put this down. I read it at every free moment until finished.

This book chronicles Motz’s use of alternative healing methods in hospital settings to help patients heal the traumas and unresolved emotions that create energy imbalances in the body that lead to health problems. Motz’s method draws on Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine to treat the body-mind-spirit as an interconnected whole. Motz offers numerous case studies of how patients addressed unresolved emotions and retraced trauma to release disease from the body and effect seemingly miraculous healings.

I really enjoyed this book and the insights into energy work and healing. She doesn't teach you energy healing, but does take you through how she started her practice with the now-famous Dr. Oz and other hospitals and surgeons. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in energy healing/alternative medicine. It was quite the fascinating read.

I valued some of this book but there were ideas that went too far for me.

Julie's story encouraged me to pay closer attention to my own intuition. She is pretty remarkable.

Fascinating Read

What an incredible journey. This book makes sense out of how to express what energy healing is truly about. Beautifully written. I couldn’t put it down.

This was a very interesting book that challenged a lot of the "western" paradigm of medicine that I have had. It was also very good at explaining how energy healing works and conveyed what an energy healer does and feels when they are helping someone. Very interesting concepts about our emotions being stored in our body and organs-even emotions stored from our parents passed on to us through conception. Julie worked with cancer patients and would help them before, during and after surgeries. The many stories are quite amazing with the emotional causes behind the cancer. I recommend this book-readers need to keep a very open mind as the paradigm of health is very different than what we are used to.

WAY before Dr Mehemet Oz was introduced to us all by Oprah this energy practitioner,Julie Motz, worked along side Dr Oz as he did heart transplants etc. Gives a very enlarged & fascinating perspective on it all. The fact that Dr Oz was open to this kind of help WAY BACK THEN, when this aspect was mostly being laughed at, says a lot for his openness. I won't forget how much attitudes have changed in recent years.

This book was fascinating to me. As is the art of healing energy. It gave me a glimpse inside the OR to experience the hope and belief a patient has to overpower the death grips of such disease as cancer. To hear real stories like these reinforces the power of holistic healing medicine.
