I have been asked on several occasions for the best references for learning about energy and energywork. I was reminded recently when I rediscovered a wonderful book by Donna Eden! So I am putting out a short list of books that I personally like. There are many, many books on energywork from all sorts of perspectives available.
These are the ones I have found helpful:
Energy Medicine by Donna Eden. This is mainly teaching about energy for your personal healing work. But it can be used for healing others, as well. This is a fantastic resource!!
Hands of Light, and the sequel, Light Emerging, both by Barbara Brennan. These two assume you will be doing healing work on others. Both give many tips for taking care of yourself and not depleting your own personal energy. Great color pics, as well.
Healing Touch: A Resource for Health Care Professionals by Dorothea Hover-Kramer, Janet Mentgen, and Sharon Scandrett-Hibdon. This is one of the textbooks for the Healing Touch classes that are available. This is the method I originally learned to manipulate energy.
This is good for a start. Please keep in mind that once you learn the basics, there is nothing keeping one from coming up with your own energy manipulating techniques. The prime directive is only that you cause no harm! So think through what the ramifications are of your technique.
As always, if you have an questions, please drop me a PM and I'll do my best to answer them.
Love, hugs, and blessings, dear friends!
Later! Muahz!
