Amazon.com Hands of Light: A Guide to Healing Through the Human Energy Field, by Barbara Ann Brennan, is a scientist's look at the field of bioenergetic healing, offering specific techniques towards expanding perceptual tools of healing, seeing auras, understanding psychodynamics and the human energy field, and spiritual healing. Trained as a physicist and psychotherapist, Brennan has spent the last 15 years studying the human energy field and working as a healer. Hands of Light goes beyond conventional, objective knowledge while retaining scientific clarity. It details a study of the human energy field and how it is intimately connected to a person's health and well being and contains essential information for anyone involved in healing and conscious health care, including people seeking to heal themselves. Science and spirituality may currently be at odds, but fortunately there will always be scientists who are spiritual seekers, and it is in the mingling of the two worlds where wisdom is born. --Jodie Buller
Product Description With the clarity of a physicist and the compassion of a gifted healer with fifteen years of professional experience observing 5,000 clients and students, Barbara Ann Brennan presents the first in-depth study of the human energy field for people who seek happiness, health and their full potential.
Our physical bodies exist within a larger "body," a human energy field or aura, which is the vehicle through which we create our experience of reality, including health and illness. It is through this energy field that we have the power to heal ourselves.
This energy body -- only recently verified by scientists, but long known to healers and mystics -- is the starting point of all illness. Here, our most powerful and profound human interactions take place, the precursor and healer of all physiological and emotional disturbances.
Hands of Light is your guide to a new wholeness. It offers:
• A new paradigm for the human, in health, relationship, and disease • An understanding of how the human energy field looks, functions, is disturbed, healed, and interacts with friends and lovers. • Training in the ability to see and interpret auras • Medically verified case studies of healing people from all walks of life with a variety of illnesses. • Guidelines for healing the self and others. • The author's personal and intriguing life adventure which gives us a model for growth, courage and possibilities for expanded consciousness
Be Careful - The Author is Too Impressed with HerselfAugust 4, 2008 This book excited me with its many illustrations, but after reading the preface and the beginning, I was turned off. The author makes a claim that only someone with her background can do what she does. Ridiculous. We all come from different backgrounds so who is say what any one of us can or cannot do?
Red flags go up when I hear claims like that; to me, they speak only of closed-mindedness. Consequently, I take the other information presented with a huge grain of salt. I'm not interested in somebody's ego stroking. I'm seeking spiritual growth. Anyone who claims that they know the one and only route to something is deluding themselves. The Universe has many paths and we are all traveling the path that is uniquely ours. Good luck on your journeys.

I didnt realize this at the time, but "hands of light" is actually a text book to the brennan healing science. the scope of this healing modality is amazing -- i've been learning about all sort of healing modalities for years, and bhs is one of the most comprehensive i've come across. it's not only about working with energy and the aura, but also delves into the deeper beliefs that cause imbalance and eventually illness. it covers many practical elements and exercises that have been helpful to me in terms of quieting my mind and getting energy flowing. barbara shares words from her personal guide, and acknowledges the role of guides, angels, and god in healing. there's a ton of specific info in this book, and i found it very helpful and inspiring.

"Hands of Light" is an informative read that I recommend! I've had my copy for years, and still refer to it fairly often.
Since anyone can practice Energy Healing, I suggest this be the book you start with! Whether it's read cover to cover, or just opened to random pages for reference purposes- you will be taught a lot of techniques that Reiki manuals do not focus on, nor explain in depth.
If nothing else, it gives perspectives on why our Chakras are out of alignment, our how our Aura gets easily dimmed by just our thoughts-- as well as how to make these changes for a Spiritually healthier you.
