There are so many parts of this book I need to revisit as there was so much learning and great tips and techniques to embed in to daily life. Really good combination of her real life experiences/examples with tools that anyone can use.
maureen_fox's review against another edition
There is WAY too much narrative in this. The background info and stories could but cut in half and still get the point across. The useful u formation and practical applications are buried within hundreds of pages of unnecessary narration.
Couldn't finish it.

This book is packed full of information and different techniques.
I borrowed the book from the library so I read it all the way through and I was on overload.
I would like to purchase this book and have it handy as a reference guide.

This book has meant a lot to me. I spent 15 years working with these techniques before going to acupuncture school.
Donna Eden is a natural healer who has the gift of seeing the bodies energies since birth. She had MS and was told she was going to die and went exploring ways to heal herself and found many cultures and ways of healing including Touch for Health which was the foundation, in some ways, of this book. She has been free of MS for over 30 years now.
This book gives grounded techniques for self healing. She has the basic daily energy routine which can do so much for self healing. She gives an overview of the bodies 9 energy systems she sees including: Meridians, chakras, aura, 5 elements, electrics, basic grid, celtic weave, triple warmer and another my brain lost. She gives plenty of life stories of how she found these, uses them and amazing stories where people healed.
Her core belief is that her work is here to each person can be there own healer. It's beneficial to work with someone, but you can do something daily to help yourself. Her catch phrase is "Energy is all there is" There is a book on Women's energy medicine that is also amazing.

I picked up this book hoping for simple advice on balancing energy along the chakras, instructions on how to self-administer acupressure along the meridians, and maybe a few yoga poses or massage techniques that help to soothe or awaken different areas of the body.
And it has all of that, but I was disappointed to see a lot of nonsense about past lives, colorful auras, and pseudo-religious ideas attached to every aspect of health.
Science and medicine have proven that there are energy centers throughout the body (that some people call chakras), and meridian lines that connect energy which are proven to be effective through acupuncture and acupressure. These are scientific facts.
But there was a lot of other nonsense that made me question the veracity of the author. It sounds like she's using the truth of the body's energy and trying to attach it to her own false ideas and religious concepts.
I did not enjoy reading her examples and accounts of clients who have been "healed" by her, because of the constant references to occult practices.
Why can't authors just stick to the facts, instead of pushing their own political or religious agendas?

I have been reading this book on and off for a few years now and finally committed to sitting down and finishing it. Over all it was not a book that truly moved me even though it had some good sections, especially The 5 Rhythms section and the one about the Chakra's. Perhaps it was the fact that I am in a different space then when I originally decided to read it? Book reviews no matter how many do not mean a thing considering we all are coming from a different place in life. Read it and see what you think....

Hm... That's a tough one to review. I suppose I'm not the ideal target group for such a reading, given my ingrained skepticism about anything that can't be scientifically examined and determined. On the other hand, the flow of energy within the human body is something quite logical and reasonable even for the non-believers. I'm still not convinced that the methods for replenishing the energies and fixing the problems in our bodies that the author describes are quite practical or realistic for a person who has never been able to get even the slightest hint of an aura and is absolutely out of touch with his or her spiritual self . But perhaps there's no harm in trying some of the less ridiculously sounding exercises she mentions (and no, self-testing will not be available for us, given that I cannot imagine how a person could be able to lift a weight while thinking happy thoughts, but not when thinking about an unpleasant subject). I cannot deny it, it still seems like a whole lot of mumbo-jumbo to me, but even the remote possibility that any of these insights might be helpful for us to obtain better knowledge of our bodies is worth trying.
