Body of Health: The New Science of Intuition Medicine for Energy and Balance

By Francesca McCartney

Body of Health explores the power of personal energy, describing levels of awareness that can facilitate healing on many levels: 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.

Have a look inside...

So many of us have clocked hours and hours at yoga classes, workshops, seminars, or at the gym. Sometimes we can't make it to class, and sometimes the need for centering arises suddenly, so here's a handbook to help you develop techniques to complement those healthy habits. The ideas in this book helped me develop a personalized daily practice. I turn to it for inspiration and how-to's and depend on it to help me through my week whether I make it to my yoga class or not. Its many techniques and how to's help you use spare minutes throughout the day to develop your own health-giving and spirit-nourishing practices. It's all good.

Must read

This is a must read for those who are interested in learning energy work. Everything is short and clear; easy to understand.

Best Book on Energy Healing

I've read hundreds of books on Chakras and Energy Healings and this is the most informative, grounded and clear book I've ever seen. The books is well written, easy to understand and has so much practical information I find myself returning to it over and over again.

Terrific book

I so enjoyed reading this book. Francesca McCartney's writing style is very clear and the content very compelling. I appreciated how she began the book with a(very interesting)personal story. After just the first two chapters I realized that I was going to receive a HUGE amount of information in a very accessible format in this book. I can't imagine the process of distilling so much complex information into such an easy to read format. The endnotes and bibliography demonstrate the extensive thought and research that went into this valuable sourcebook.
