A Healer's Book
Format: Paperback
In my opinion, this book is most suited to the "healers". I am only part-way through it right now, but thoroughly agree with what I have read so far because I have either experienced it or it makes logical sense from where I am on my personal journey. The book is slow reading, not difficult, but slow if you really want to understand what Barbara has written as she combines science with metaphysical beliefs. I cannot compare this book to her first book because, although I purchased her first book years ago, I honestly have not read it yet. "Light Emerging" was recommended by my master teacher. Barbara has spent significant time studying the auric fields of people vs. behavior.
I plan to return to this review at a later time and update it with additional information, but I see it as a valuable resource for a healer (for both healing self and healing others). By the way, if you don't know it already, healing is not limited to the physical body. There is emotional healing and spiritual healing as well. ALL are important. The healthiest people are those who are balanced on all levels.
This 342-page book explains a lot about energy, both scientifically and metaphysically. If you have already done significant reading, this book expands on a lot of it, such as explaining the chakras and the movement of energy throughout the system. As Barbara goes through each chakra, she explains how you likely behave if that chakra is fully functioning or if it is blocked. Quite a few illustrations within the book visually show you the energy movements within people who exhibit certain types of behavior, and the movements of energy within groups of 2 people exchanging energies at certain levels. This is one way in which this book is different from many other chakra and energy vibrational books. An example is an illustration of a couple in dispute and how they energetically resolved the dispute. Barbara has the developed ability to see the auric fields, as some do, and she supplements her writing with experiences she has had with clients. In this instance, she explains the energy movement in 3 stages of the therapy between the couple, as well as illustrates it in picture form, so you can follow what is happening energetically between the couple throughout the process.
Here is a little tid-bit for you from the book: Barbara mentions that Dr. Robert Beck, a nuclear physicist, found that all healers exhibit the brain-wave patterns of 7.8 - 8 Hz while they are giving healings, the same fluctuation of the earth's magnetic energy field (the Schumann waves). The assumption is that the healers are synching up with the earth's magnetic field when doing healing. Dr. John Zimmerman, founder and president of Bio-Electro-Magnetics Institute, found through additional research, that once healers have linked with the Schumann waves, the right and left hemispheres of their brain have become balanced with each other and show a 7.8 - 8 Hz alpha rhythm. After they link with the patient for some time through laying on of hands, they are able to link the client in with the same earth's energy magnetic pulsations.
Good book. If you are into metaphysical energy and healing, I think you will enjoy it and find it very informative. If you are NOT into metaphysical energy and healing, you will likely not understand it and may get nothing from it, especially if you are not open to this area of study.
