Good Book for Energy Work

I was surprised at the depth and breadth of the information in this book. I myself have worked with subtle energies for a long time as a Reiki practitioner. While this book is specifically looking at energy as it relates to couples and families, the authors actually give an excellent grounding in the concepts of chakras and the five elements. In fact, if you are drawn to this book but fear you don’t have much of a background, I would say go ahead and get it because the authors educate you as well as give you exercises in energy work and energy healing. You’ll come away much more knowledgeable and grounded.

The book has a logical organization, which I always appreciate. The book starts discussing what subtle energy fields are and gets the reader working with them. The book moves on to talking about you as an individual and specifically discusses energy work to help find a partner that resonates with your energy. Once we have a handle on our own energy, the book then guides how to approach expanding energy consciousness to include a partner. The natural progression then moves on to the partners preparing to welcome children into the family and then into energy work for healthy children and family structures. A final chapter at the end looks at some contemporary difficulties that one could face in the real world and how we can heal our energy if they impact us. The book is brimming with exercises. Every chapter has at least several, and some chapters have quite a few. I found the exercises to be simple, for the most part, but able to lend insight into self, other, and the family as a unit. Not all of the exercises truly have to do with healing, though many of them do. However, one could argue that any energy work done well has a healing aspect. If energy work interests you at all, or you have an interest in alternative methods for better relationships, you may very well enjoy this book.

Fascinating Look into the Life and Mind of a Medium

I have read other books by this author, so I was curious about her background and further glimpses at her take on the world outside of the standard five senses. This book is divided precisely in half, the first half being a brief memoir while the second half gives her thoughts and opinions on occult topics like ghosts, spirit guides, angels, and the other side. The book ends with a glossary of sorts, a list of terms that you might have heard if you read many metaphysical or occult books. I found the memoir section interesting, to see how the awareness began for her and how that manifested in her life. Part two is not only about straight-up information on the topics; she also gives you tips if you are, say, dealing with ghosts. Having read some of her other books, I found the glossary to be helpful because she does have some precise definitions of terms. If you have any interest in the afterlife, mediums, or otherworldly beings, you might find this book to be a fascinating read.

A Deep, Ethical Dive into Your Akashic Records

What a fascinating book! I have been a student of metaphysics and the occult for a very long time, since I was a teenager, as my mother was interested in the topics and passed that on to her children. I vaguely remember hearing about the akashic records but had never explored the concept in depth. This is just the book to let someone do so. I will admit that the topic is a little hard to pin down precisely, and that was echoed somewhat in the earlier portions of the book. But within the lessons of the book, the author slowly unwinds what this is all about and how we can be enriched by working with these records in an ethical, intensely personal way. After setting you up for good, ritualized practice in the early lessons, the book gets interesting further on when she shows you how to access the records to answer questions, get support, and reveal more to you about your life’s purpose and journey. If you have any interest in metaphysics or the akashic records, this book will scratch an itch you may not have known you had.

Otherworldly Realm from Psychic’s Perspective

While the blurb of the book makes you think that it may give a fair amount of information about working with ghosts or otherworldly entities yourself (or what to do if you encounter one), it is more of a reflection of the title as it is mostly about the author’s own ghost stories. She even has some pictures! I found this book to be an interesting glimpse into the world of a psychic medium. There is a small amount of information at the start of the book about the different types of otherworldly beings that one could encounter (and that the author has). There is a very brief section at the end with the author’s recommendations and tips if you want to try to work with the lighter end of the spirit spectrum yourself. She doesn’t recommend actually interacting with ghosts (whom she distinguishes from spirits). If you like ghost stories, you will most likely enjoy the ones shared by this author as well as her personal take on the otherworldly realm.
