An Encyclopedia of Your Energetic Anatomy - The Subtle Body

As science is starting to show there is validation to what other cultures (non-Western) have used for hundreds or even thousands of years, I wanted to get my hands on a good book that covered the variety of "energies."

This is that book! It combines the cultural/spiritual beliefs along with some of the science which explains how it works. This is an intensive read, very informing without being "dumbed down" or overly technical. There's a lot of illustrations, which I find to be very helpful.

I have recommended this book to others who are interested in "energy" topics.

The book itself is weighty (physically, speaking). The binding is tight. Thick, semi-gloss pages. Aptly illustrated. Arranged by "culture energy" (as I would call it). Good, clear print that is about right in size (not too small, not overly large). Packed with information and resources. This is like a condensed textbook--having only the interesting and relevant information.

If you're interested in "alternative medicine" that doesn't involve taking a supplement, this is a pretty good start! Don't plan on carry this book around, though, it's not a "pocket size!"

I fully recommend this book to whoever wants to understand who the body and energy work. It is easy to read and understand and what I liked the most if the way the author compares the different cultures showing that at the end, most of the use the same principle.

I have bought many different energy based books, and used different energy based techniques, with great results.

Quantum Touch taught me the importance of breath and how to move energy, and the principles of resonance and entrainment. EFT taught me how to release negative emotions within two minutes by tapping on specific energy points. Reiki taught me the importance of healing touch, and using Universal Life Force energy effortlessly.

Matrix Energetics taught me the importance of intention, and active imagination. I could go on, Qigong, Reiki, Touch of healing, Yoga, Tibetans, Huna..

Here we have a visually stunning book, with great diagrams throughout. It offers a complete energy system overview, and numerous diagrams, and chapters on anatomy, and the different medical systems. It's important to understand how energy correleates with anatomy, and this book does a great job of that.

It gives an overview of different practices. I particularly liked reading about shiatsu, which was discovered by a 7 year old Japanese boy who healed his mother of rheumatism, and I loved the explanation and diagrams of Reflexology. In addition, the description of chakras and how they work, and what each one means is displayed in a very easy to assimilate format. Visually compelling.

You can also learn about Reiki, Qigong, and many others.

In educating us on many different practices within one volume, we get the big picture, and so it is not a specialist book. For example, you will learn what EFT is but not the tapping routine. If you're like me, there are a couple of places where you might like more detail. If it had a bit more detail such as the tapping routine, I would definitely give it five stars.

If you wish to explore energy medicine more, I recommend:

The Energy Medicine Kit by Donna Eden, which shows energy testing being demonstrated, energy zipups and more advanced techniques, including a five minute daily routine to boost your energy.

Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal (Third Edition) by Richard Gordon.

Life Energy: Using the Meridians to Unlock the Hidden Power of Your Emotions by John Diamond MD, one of the best books I have read on energy medicine, and a complete manual.

The Touch of Healing: Energizing the Body, Mind, and Spirit With Jin Shin Jyutsu by Alice Burmeister. It's Jin Shin Jitsu, a complete system, very easy to learn and use.

The EFT Manual (EFT: Emotional Freedom Techniques)by Gary Craig is a simple tapping process useful for letting go of troubling emotions. Imagine easily letting go of issues such as anger, anxiety, fear, forgiveness, stress, procrastination, traumas. [...], and buy various books on the store.

The Emotion Code by Bradley Nelson. Another complete system for releasing trapped emotions using magnets discovered by a chiropractor. A very well written book.

I hope this was helpful.

I am a Reiki Master Teacher with my own business. A student I was attuning to Reiki brought this to her class. I knew I immediately needed to purchase it. I am enjoying reading the book and learning a few new things along the way!

This definitely is a nice compendium on the subject of "Energy Medicine". It does relate all aspects of PEMF, SCENAR, FIR as well as Light and Sound, to provide a unified approach of healing with patterns of frequency.

This book is an encyclopedic compilation of the deeper part of the human body and psyche. It is far above average, well-
written and documented. For different maladies, it discusses therapies that are uncommon. I do not think this book should
be limited just to massage therapists. It is for everyone looking to broaden their knowledge, both biological and spiritual.

this was purchased for a gift and shipped directly to...I have not heard from them if they received the book or like the book. There has been fires and evacuations in the area where had the store mail......I post a 5 star, because I love this book, and had ordered me a copy as well a month or so ago....great book!

Cyndi Dale's book has a lot of fancy illustrations and I think that's why someone recommended it to me, it does not however make up for the fact that much of the information is flat out wrong, she waters down everything indigenous and female and promotes what is a straight white male status quo medicine.
