📝 Description: Hands of Light: A Guide to Healing Through the Human Energy Field

An in-depth study of the human energy field that presents a comprehensive pathway to discovering happiness, boosting health, and unlocking your full potential. "This book is a must for all aspiring healers and health-care givers, an inspiration to all who want to understand the true human being."--Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Our physical bodies exist within a larger "body," a human energy field or aura, which is the vehicle through which we create our experience of reality, including health and illness. It is through this energy field that we have the power to heal ourselves. This energy body--only recently verified by scientists, but long known to healers and mystics--is the starting point of all illness. Here, our most powerful and profound human interactions take place, the precursor and healer of all physiological and emotional disturbances. Hands of Light is your guide to a new wholeness, offering: - A new paradigm for the human, in health, relationship, and disease - An understanding of how the human energy field looks, functions, is disturbed, healed, and interacts with friends and lovers. - Training in the ability to see and interpret auras - Medically verified case studies of healing people from all walks of life with a variety of illnesses. - Guidelines for healing the self and others. - The author's personal and intriguing life adventure which gives us a model for growth, courage, and possibilities for expanded consciousness. With the clarity of a physicist and the compassion of a gifted healer with fifteen years of professional experience observing 5,000 clients and students, Barbara Ann Brennan offers a groundbreaking guide for cultivating a healthier, more fulfilled life.

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Brennan presents a systematic approach to aura reading that stands as a seminal resource in esoteric healing literature. The clarity of her framework makes complex energetic concepts accessible to the layperson. However, this book does not suit skeptics demanding empirical scientific proof or those seeking purely clinical medical advice. It also may frustrate readers who prefer abstract philosophical discourse over practical, step-by-step energetic exercises. While some might find the tone overly prescriptive regarding health outcomes, its influence on modern energy work is undeniable. It remains a essential, if specific, tool for those already committed to metaphysical self-care practices.

📔 Questions to reflect on

  1. Reflect on a time you felt inexplicably drained or energized around another person. How might the concept of an energy field explain that experience?
