Lani Leary is not a household name -- yet. But for thousands of listeners who have made her original edition of Healing Hands a minor classic, Dr. Leary was their initial guide into the realm of the Human Energy Field (HEF). Her pioneering version of Healing Hands taught listeners how to channel powerful energy through their own hands to bring about physical and emotional healing. This revised, expanded edition presents Dr. Leary's ten-step program for identifying and working with our innate healing abilities -- and using them to help both ourselves and others. Coming eight years after her original presentation, today's Healing Hands reflects the ever-maturing stature of a field whose body of knowledge is growing exponentially. All of this up-to-date information comes together for the first time on this groundbreaking edition -- along with six all-new guided meditations that help listeners to locate their native intuitive power, and to bring this "sixth sense" to bear on the art of healing. Based on her popular annual seminars at the Omega Institute in New York, Healing Hands is Lani Leary's definitive instructional workshop.
