Rate this book
Robert Bruce, author of Astral Dynamics , a metaphysical classic, has worked privately as a healer, mystic, spiritual consultant and paranormal researcher for 30 years and provides a free consulting and healing service to the global Internet community. He has developed an exciting method that enables readers to enhance their physical health and spiritual practice by providing natural support for their personal energy systems. Bruce's method, which can be learned in 30 minutes, delivers such profound benefits as improved immune system function; enhanced vitality, energy levels and healing from everyday ailments; better appetite control and easier weight management; and increased development of psychic and spiritual abilities. Those feeling "stuck" on a plateau in spiritual practice--from yoga, t'ai chi and chi gong to kung fu or reiki--or simply searching for a way to increase their well-being and overall enjoyment of life will want to experience the accelerated spiritual progress made possible by Bruce's simple method. His step-by-step approach is Western in orientation and vocabulary, and it incorporates thought form imaging, intention, elemental properties, self-healing practices and essential grounding exercises to encourage safe, rapid results. Bruce reports that most people experience significant energy body activity in their first practice session.

Robert Bruce has created an interesting new technique for use in energy work. His frame of reference begins with a common problem: many people find the process of visualization very difficult when they first undertake mediation or energy work. Often, as these individuals read the how to books on these subjects they expect that they will actually see a full blown colour image manifest in front of them. They don't realize that much of what they will experience in these situations are merely sensations and changes of perception. Far too often, people get frustrated and quit before these techniques can do any good.

To aid and strengthen the visualization process, Bruce has created his system. There are a number of different techniques. However, all start with physical touch: scratching, brushing, or making stirring movements on the surface of the skin. These movements are meant to get the individual to focus on the sensations in particular spots. Once the feelings of these real actions are felt then it is easier to extrapolate these motions to other body parts and to make use of other visualization techniques and energy work.

I really liked the concepts set out in Energy Work and the process really does help build visualization skills. This foundation would be useful for meditation, positive experience visualization, breathwork, energy work, and many other aspects of alternative health and spirituality.

I think I was not ready for the so much detailed explanation of every exercise related to energy work so it took me months to finish it but it was worth it. Recommended to everyone who want to learn about energy body and chakra activation.

It was a fascinating and insightful book that explores the human energy system and its potential for healing and spiritual growth. The writing style is clear and concise, making complex concepts easy to understand. The techniques he shares are practical and effective, and can be easily incorporated into one's daily life. Overall, it is a must-read for anyone interested in energy healing, meditation, or spirituality.

This is a pretty "meaty" system that's incredibly easy to use. You will probably feel effects the first time you use it. I feel incredibly relaxed and confident after a self-healing session with this system. Sometimes I even feel a bit of a buzz. I think I will use some of these methods for a long time to come. Way to go, Robert Bruce!

Well researched, atmospheric, believable characters. Great book from which to obtain a feel off the mid thirties and early forties. Whilst the book moves around from Bulgaria to Russia to the Spanish Civil War and then occupied France, for me I wanted more of a 'plot' in the story rather than the main character just being buffeted from on dire situation to another.

It took me forever to finish this book. I waited about 1 month until I re-started reading it.
It's a good book but I'm not yet ready for so much detailed information about this subject. However I really liked the concepts set out in Energy Work and the process really does help build visualization skills.
I intend to re-read the book since it has applications for any set of techniques that involve focussing human body energy. In fact, I would say that anyone involved in the application of human body energy and meditation should get this book. Highly recommended.

Though this is not exactly what I expect when my purpose is to find an profound research in history or theory of how the chakras forms and the history of energy work, this turns out to be a rich and practical exercise book to stimulate your body, provide many tips to help you achieve greater steps in physical, spiritual and mental development, or simply provide a reason to meditate and shake yourself up without actually moving. Very detailed and clear instructions. I will turn back to this book after reading The Power of Now.
