A useful reference guide for healers - By: Sarah Brown, 25 Jul 2008 
This book is a useful guide to the basics of energy healing - talking about the human energy field, auras, chakras, the causes of illness, etc, & doing soin a clear, easy to understand way.
When it gets to the energy work, &in particular, the act of healing & seeing, it seems to imply that there is only one way of doing it. But the visions that we each of us see when we heal are different, depending on the individual & the sorts of symbols that have meaning for each one. Indeed, some healers don't see anything at all, but work entirely from intuitive feeling, for example.
My feeling on this book is that it is a useful resource, but that we each need to trust the information & intuitions that we receive ourselves,in order to open up our own higher perceptions. If you find yourself judging your own perceptions as not being "as good as" the author's, just relax & don't worry. They are as good. They're just yours.
I have come across a number of healers who feel they aren't "doing it right" after reading this book, whenin fact, they're doing just fine. This is not the fault of the author - it has more to do with the tendency of healers to worry about their own progress & compare it to others.
So, my recommendation is this: read the book. It's full of good information. Then keep the information you can readily assimilatein your own work, & don't worry too much about the other stuff. If you need it, you'll encounter it again.
Fantastic Book - By: C. L. Sproats, 06 Jul 2008 
A great book as it explains so much.
I now realise where my Reiki teacher got some of here references from as well as my crystal healing diploma teaching. This covers so much & is a great reference to be used by all including those starting out who need as explanation to things & those who are established therapists & want to look back on something.
Highly recommended.
Detailed, and quite deep - heavy for beginners.. - By: , 26 Sep 2005 If your aim is to understand auras & the application of that knowledge, the book has quite a lot of background & data, allin a credible, clear scientific way.
It doesn't quite offer as quick a HOWTO to reading an aura as "Auras: See Them In Only 60 Seconds!" by Mark Smith, so maybe get both if you're just venturing into this.
One of the strongest recommendations for this book was that I was given its title by someonein Bangkok who is apparently Thailands' best (known) aura reader - & it was quite a life changing experience..
I Love This Book! Part of a Good Foundation - By: Nurse Betty, 29 Nov 2004 This is a book that should be on every healer's shelf. There is constantly new information on variations of this subject. I also have witnessed several times how the power of prayer & the patient's spirituality affects the body, both emotionally & physically. I do a lot of reading, & am currently very moved with a new book called The Power of Divine: A Healer's Guide & the information there, but that is to be expected as we move forwardin our awareness of integrative medicine. Mankind is taking great, wonderful strides forward right now, & not a moment too soon! Read this book & start a collection that leads you to insight & wisdom. Both books also have excellent- though differing - suggestions into developing medical intuitiveness. Let's be open to as many tools as possiblein this new paradigm.
Hands of light - By: , 16 Mar 2004 I bought this book to read more about the energy field their purpose & effectin a little more depth & I wasn't disappointed. As a Reiki level 3 healer I find this book of tremendous value. One of the main one's to me is, as some of us cannot see energy colour, I have found by showing the people I treat the illustrationin the book (of healer & client) is benifical. They can see & picture the energyin all its glorious colours they are receiving. Personal feed back from all I've treated are very pleased by this simplistic explaination. Barbara Brennans books are a must for beginers & experienced healers.
