Good Review & Analysis Of Energy Healing Research Evidence

I first came across Schwartz' work almost a decade ago in the Living Energy Universe. His subsequent books have been more focused, and the Energy Healing Experiments looks at the research and evidence validating the power of consciousness and intention to guide healing energies. This book provides solid evidence and explores important questions raised by both believers and skeptics. As an energy healer I know what I observe and experience with myself and clients, so I don't need convincing... but for those who lack the expanded sensory awareness to feel and perceive energy healing it's useful to have empirical findings and methodically designed experiments that confirm something is happening that can't be explained in a materialistic manner. Gary Schwartz has done well in collecting this evidence and presenting it within a thoughtful analysis and discussion of its implications. This book is practical and more scientifically-oriented than spiritually oriented even though it does bring up the spiritual and philosophical implications of energy healing. I recommend this for healers who want to have a collection of research that supports their work, as well as the general public and skeptics who wish to carefully consider the evidence regarding this phenomenon.

Meticulous Research Presented in a User Friendly Way, Plus a Glimpse into the Mind of a Great Scient

This book is an organized and convincing exploration of not just the research Schwartz has done into energy healing, but his personal journey from skepticism to advocacy. His meticulous research design, his sterling qualifications, and his equal interest in what works and what doesn't, all make him a credible commentator on the field. He walks the reader through the various explanations, from local to beyond quantum, for energy healing. He describes the energy fields that we know, like those behind cell phone technology, and how these are analogous to the signals from the hands of healers. The book also provides a handy and understandable guide to the wavelengths involved, some of which I talk about in my own book, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention. Schwartz also gives frank insights into his own thought processes, from initial insights such as when, as a boy, he placed his hands on the antenna connections of an old TV and watched the signal change; gazing into the mind of a pioneering researcher is fascinating. While the jargon in which scientists insist on presenting their findings in peer reviewed journals is impenetrable to the lay person, this book is understandable, well-paced, and entertaining. It is destined to become a classic in this field.

An aid to my work

I just want to thank Dr. Gary Schwartz. Because being a MD, applying energy healing in my work, this books helps a lot to be able to explain the patients the way the therapies based on Energy Healing work.

Energy Healing: Woo-Woo or Reality?

Count on Gary Schwartz to tackle the subjects no one else will touch. So it is with The Energy Healing Experiments. What has been dismissed as woo-woo by the traditional psychological community, Schwartz has investigated with a series of ingenious experiments that left me eager to head down to my local Radio Shack to buy the components for my own LBT (little bitty telescope). This book is not the most exciting piece ever written, but it may just be one of the most ground-breaking. It reenergizes the questions: Who are we? What are we? What can we actually do? Take the time to read this book thoughtfully. It will shatter some of your illusions and lead you to question what you've "always known."
