Description

Welcome to the first comprehensive encyclopedia of the human energetic anatomy. Here is a reference that no personal or professional health-care library should be without-an in-depth guide to the invisible energies of the spirit, psyche, and consciousness that influence every aspect of our well-being. Whether you are looking for the right complementary medicine to enhance your own healing practice, seeking perennial wisdom about your body's energetic nature from world traditions, or exploring the quantum edge of intention-based care, The Subtle Body is an indispensable companion for exploring virtually any facet of holistic healing. Created for healing professionals and patients alike, this volume provides a lexicon of terms and detailed entries about our energetic biology and how it relates to our physical being. This invaluable information will help you enhance any form of health care and give you the knowledge you need to develop an integrated approach for your clients well-being-or your own. All healers are "energetic" healers, whether they know it or not.

Compiled by intuitive healer and scholar Cyndi Dale, this reference book covers: - What is the "subtle body"?

With The Subtle Body, practitioners and patients alike now have an unprecedented resource for understanding the physical, energetic, and spiritual elements of human health-for an informed, complete approach to healing.… (more)

its got some ok coverage and could serve as a sufficient jumping off point for further study, but the material on its own is pretty misleading

it mashes together complicated and nuanced systems, making no effort to tease out the moments when they disagree or diverge, and has little consideration for
Show More
the many divergent historical developments in these systems. it also pays little consideration to the theological doctrine or mystical practices underlying the systems, and particularly the ways in which such doctrines r often extremely contradictory and in direct conflict w each other. the author also throws out a bunch of unnecessary western pseudoscience about magnetism in order to try to make sense of energy, when energy as a scientific principle is already self-evident

5/10 for effort
