This information-rich resource reminded us of the glory days of such publications as the New Age Almanac and the Whole Earth Catalog. All of the material in this manual comes under the subject of subtle energy medicine: "the study and application of the body's relationship to electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields, as well as light, sound, and other forms of energy." Dale has written this paperback not only for subtle body healers but for all who are interested in learning this art form.

After surveying "The Meridian Magic," and the chakras as "Bodies of Healing," the author plunges into a section titled "Your Energy Medicine Bag" where she covers intention and ethics, intuition and trust, energetic boundaries, setting goals, the essential energy techniques, and what to expect from a session.

Best of all is the last section of the book where Dale casts her nets wide and brings us 15 different pathways and practices. Here you will find assessments of the healing movement, food as vibrational medicine, sound healing, color healing, vibrational symbols and oracles, the subtle spirit (contemplation and communing with spiritual forces), and more.
