Synopsis

The concept of energy is generating much interest in the Western world. We have rarely been able to explain ‘energy’ without borrowing from Eastern traditions – Energy or Life Force is known as ‘Qi’ in China and ‘Prana’ in India, although we have tried, in Star Wars, this spiritual energy is known simply as ‘The Force.’

This groundbreaking book explores our relationship with the energy within and the energy that surrounds every living thing. It is the energy that leaves the body at the point of death, the energy of feelings and emotions, the energy of coincidence. This book guides us through the energy fields, looking at ancient healing systems like ayurveda, chakra healing, pranayama and yoga. Acknowledging our relationship with energy can lead to a deeper level of healing, creating an inner harmony.

From the Back Cover

Have you ever wondered why we are attracted to some people and repelled by others? How does hands-on healing work? How can sexual energy be transformed into spiritual growth and why are our moods, sleep and behaviour affected by the phases of the moon?

We are all moved by unseen and seemingly undetectable forces. The Western world has rarely been able to explain this force of 'energy' without borrowing from Eastern traditions and terminology – Energy of Life Force is known as 'Qi' in China and 'Prana' in India. Now as Western science begins to accept what the East has always known, the concept of energy is becoming a subject of great interest.

This groundbreaking book offers a fascinating insight into the concept of energy work. William Collinge provides an essential grounding for anyone interested in reiki, chakras, auras, healing, ayurveda, t'ai chi and yoga. He explores our relationship with the energy within and the energy that surrounds every living thing, and shows how acknowledging our relationship with energy can lead to a deeper level of healing and inner harmony.
