Product Description A practical guide to understanding and enhancing the functionality of the human energy body
• Shows how the energy body and its interactions are the principal determinant of all we see, feel, think, or otherwise perceive
• Details strategic skills to manage the infinite alternate realities available to the energy body
Each of us inhabits an energy body whose interactions are the principal determinant of all we see, feel, think, or otherwise perceive. Even as modern science is establishing the uncertainty of physical matter, it is asserting the reality of our existence as interconnecting quantum energy fields. For over 5,000 years, shamans of the Toltec tradition have studied and worked with the energy body, learning to recognize and understand its structure and perceptual capacities as well as mapping it as an objective, measurable part of our anatomy. In Awakening the Energy Body, Kenneth Smith’s thorough grounding in the Toltec tradition allows him to bring forth an instructive overview for non-Toltec adherents of the latent possibilities available to the energy body and how to bring awareness and objective form to it.
Using evidence from the emerging scientific discipline of bioenergetics, which studies the flow and exchange of energy, Smith shows that conscious awareness not only creates our reality but enhances the functionality of the human energy body, allowing it to navigate the myriad realities of our world. He offers a specific set of strategies to manage the energy body in ways that are beneficial to both material existence and spiritual development. He also discusses the ethical considerations of developing consciousness and how one can quicken personal evolution in order to live a full and complete life, while revealing where the worlds of ancient tradition and modern science meet.

Uses science from bioenergetics to study the ebb and flow of body energyAugust 17, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Both psychology and new age libraries will find much of interest in AWAKENING THE ENERGY BODY: FROM SHAMANISM TO BIOENERGETICS. It uses science from bioenergetics to study the ebb and flow of body energy and draws important connections between psychology and physical matter, and uses the author's Toltec tradition studies to reinforce the possibilities involved in body energy understanding.

Awakening the Energy BodyAugust 7, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Change is so much more than an instantaneous surface reconstruction. Real change is deeper and far more complex. Moreover, as the new change is integrated into the system, it becomes permanently ingrained.
Awakening the Energy Body is based upon Toltec traditions as presented in the author's other works on Toltec philosophy. Above all, imagination and becoming open to new possibilities are key to growth. However, once new ideas are introduced they have to be actualized through a process of orientation, training, craftsmanship, artistry, and mastery.
Awakening the Energy Body is quite an in-depth dense book. It is definitely not a Sunday afternoon read. Still the information is enlightening and well worth the effort.
