The Subtle Body: An Encyclopedia of Your Energetic Anatomy Hot

Here is a reference that no personal or professional healthcare library should be without – an in-depth, fully illustrated guide to the invisible energies of spirit, psyche and consciousness that influence every aspect of our well-being. Whether you are looking for the right complementary medicine to enhance your healing practice, seeking perennial wisdom about your body's energetic nature from world traditions, or exploring the quantum edge of intention-based care, this book is the perfect companion to have.

Wow, this is a wonderful book that belongs in the library of anyone with an interest in spiritual growth, yoga, tai chi, qi gong, EFT, or any other discipline related to the subtle energy systems of the human body. This truly is truly an encyclopedic reference of all things related to the subtle body and its operations.

I've studied a variety of spiritual practices and disciplines over the years where I encountered a variety of schema about the subtle body and subtle energies and it has always been a challenge trying to correlate the different systems. This encyclopedia solves that problem because it organizes all of these approaches into a single, readable text. This is a book I'll keep referring back to again and again.

Below is a quote from the editorial reviews above and I'm repeating it because it states my views exactly.

"An extraordinary body of work. The Subtle Body belongs in the library of every truly conscious person on the planet."-- Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

THE SUBTLE BODY covers a smattering of information on most every topic that someone interested in healing could hope to see. Just enough of an overview of necessary material is provided along with stunning full color illustrations on most every page, so readers will feel inspired to seek further details through sources mentioned in the index.

Author Cyndi Dale does a truly marvelous job of covering a subject so vast that no other single book has yet attempted to squeeze into one volume, and she succeeds brilliantly. The book is clearly organized into six sections, starting with an overview of physiology and anatomy, so readers who are starting from scratch with very little prior knowledge of the human body can come up to speed. The sections covering energy work do a very nice job of covering both ancient and more modern day systems, without delving too far into some of the more esoteric avenues.

THE SUBTLE BODY is highly recommended for nurses, energy healers, lightworkers and martial artists who are interested in a reference book with great height and length, and not as much depth. Intermediate and advanced energy healers will likely love the gorgeous design and layout of this book, while not necessarily feeling all areas they are interested in covered to their full satisfaction.

I love the concept of this book, and my main issue with it is that it is not nearly big enough. Perhaps in future printings, this book can be expanded to cover topics more comprehensively in order to satisfy even the curiosity of intermediate and advanced level energy workers. Since the scientific aspects mentioned in this edition will tend to go out of date with time, I hope my wish will be granted, and the second edition will include many more of the details I desire.
