Health By Bio-Energy and Mind: Everything You
Need to Develop Your Ability to Feel and Assess Human Energy, and Perform Energy
Healing and Balancing
Authors: Michael Nudel & Eva Nudel, Ph.D.
Husband and wife team, Michael Nudel & Eva Nudel, PH.D. educate us on ways of increasing and accumulating our bio-energy. Bio-energy is the stuff that our human energy fields are made of (it is also called prana). They teach that once a healer has managed to bring his/her own bio-energy to a harmonious level, the bio-energy can then be efficiently transferred to other people to bring them health and vitality. Some of the tools given that can be utilized in harmonizing your bio-energy are meditation, self-hypnosis, positive thinking, and visualization.
Chapter four is dedicated to the practice of yoga and gymnastics as the authors feel there is no better discipline than yoga to help one achieve inner-self knowledge and harmony. Healing techniques are explained for activating healing energy into hands so that they can feel the energy field of others and heal people with your energy.
In the back of the book healing techniques are given for healing specific illnesses. Instructions for treating each malady given is pretty much straightforward. In my judgement, the approach the Nudels are taking suggests that a healer can heal another person rather than facilitate the healing of someone. Simply by first assessing the illness and then by following specific directions they have outlined in their book, the affliction will be remedied. I wish healing could be accomplished this easily. I take exception to this type of philosophy. It is inconceivable to me that another person can heal another without the sick person taking an active role in bringing about a cure. Healing is a lifetime journey, and reading this book has been part of my journey as Guide to Healing. As I am so strongly opposed to its single-handed divine approach to healing others I may very well discard this book into our paper recycle bin one day. But, for now, I think I will put it on my bookshelf and reread it in a year or two and see if I feel differently about it.
