Body of Health explores the power of personal energy, describing levels of awareness that can facilitate healing on many spiritual, physical, and mental. The techniques covered here are designed to help readers increase their understanding of intuition, color, the chakra system, meditation, and other theories and methods as they work in healing. The author has developed these techniques over many years helping nurses, doctors, and other medical practitioners discover the source of pain and disease and guiding patients to more effective healing therapies. The areas covered in this wide-ranging yet accessible book include aura, color, meditation, kundalini, male/female energy, meditation, and affirmations and their role in healing. Each chapter examines one practice or theory of energy and offers examples, stories, and simple techniques that readers can use to "test" the concept. Included are descriptive charts, journal writing exercises, success stories, and step-by-step meditations.
This book just goes to show that the publishing world isn't very selective with their choices. Terribly written, pedantic, and over-the-top arrogant. Couldn't even finish it.
Francesca McCartney does an excellent job introducing the basic concepts of intuitive medicine and the wisdom traditions whose philosophical frameworks can support it. The real world accounts of her experiences with intuitive medicine, and the experiences of those she's known, helps to ground the theory in reality. The best part of the book, though, is the practical exercises McCartney lays out in every other chapter. Self experience is the best teacher, and she provides plenty of opportunities for her readers to learn.
