Favorite Books on Energy Healing

Much of my time as a healer is spent trying to convince people that it works, which is an extremely difficult task.  There are plenty of sites dedicated to the art of energy healing which you can feel free to explore in detail at your leasure which may or may not convice you of its validity.  I do not wish to spend too much time here trying to win people over, or tell of the many beneifts of healing or the difference between the healing process and curing (very different indeed!) as I feel anyone who has the internet knowledge necessary to find me here, is fully capable of finding any number of sites on the internet and sifting through the volumes of knowledge on this subject on their own.  Instead, I would like to serve the interests of those who already "believe" and give my advice and knowledge of how everyone can utilize this powerful and very misunderstood tool for their own health and well-being.

Many who have already experienced their first "healing" are often amazed and wonder about the details of what just happened.  There are several books which I reccommend reading if you want to learn more.  The greatest book, in my opinion, on learning how energy healing works is the book by Barbara Ann Brennan called "Hands of Light", you can find it here... http://www.amazon.com/Hands-Light-Healing-Through-Energy/dp/0553345397/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1282670094&sr=1-1. 

This book has a wealth of knowledge about the energy of the planet as well as the human energy field.  Chapters on the chakras and the causes of illness.  There are also tools to help you learn the art of intuition and how to "feel" energy which is essential if you wish to do any healing on your own.  I do not feel that I came into this field with any sort of "gift" and have learned how to heal the same way anyone learns any discipline, through practice, practice, and more practice.   The more you do it, the better you get and this book will help.

The other book I frequently refer back to is a book called the "The Healing Power of Your Aura" by Barbara M. Martin.  http://www.amazon.com/Healing-Power-Your-Aura-Well-Being/dp/0970211848/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1282670612&sr=1-1-spell

This book has so much infrmation that it really is a reference book and not something that one sits down and just reads.  It has charts and graphs on the different rays of energies and lots of images and pictures of the layers of the human energy field plus prayerful meditations on how to bring things back into alignment if you are experiencing a specific ailment.  It also has the best section I have ever read (just my opinion, of course) on why energy healing works and where it comes from.  A must read for anyone who can already feel energy and wishes to move forward into the next step. 

The last books I wish to recommend are books on the psychological issues behind the causes of illness.  I have found that there is a deep issue behind every healing I have ever done.  If you are experiencing an illness or a physical issue that modern medicine cannot seem to be able to treat, or perhaps something long-term that you are struggling to understand, then these are the books for you!  If you are a healer, these books are essential to understanding the nature of illness and the answer to why sometimes it just doesn't seem to work on some people.  The works of Louise Hay and Caroline Myss.  These two remarkable women have several books available on this subject and they are worth every penny!! 

Louis Hay's "Heal You Body A-Z; The Mental Causes for Physical Illness and the Way to Overcome Them" has become my starting point for every healing.  Sometimes just going through the affirmations with a client before working on them is all the healing they need.  http://www.amazon.com/Heal-Your-Body--Z-Physical/dp/1561707929/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1282671336&sr=1-2


Caroline Myss's "Why People Don't Heal and How They Can" was one of the  very first books I read after becoming a healer and it opened my eyes to so many more possibilities than just the simple working on their energy field.  In my opinion, this is a must read for everyone who is experiencing any kind of illness and I often recommend it to my clients to read before or after a healing session.  They always come back having experienced some kind of deep emotional change which often changes their lives.  Sometimes it can also be a very difficult read as we (myself included) don't always wish to take the responsibility for the life we have created for ourselves.  http://www.amazon.com/Why-People-Dont-Heal-They/dp/0609802240/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1282671479&sr=1-5


I hope that you take the time to at least investigate some of the titles listed above, as I know that you will be changed in some way.  I know that these books changed my life, and I am grateful that someone, somewhere recommended them to me.
