Subtle Body

This is a beautiful book that shows how healing can take place energetically throughout the whole body. Mentioned is how the energy system consists of chakra and meridians and so much more. The author brings up and combines knowledge from many different traditions and healing practices. A must for any therapist and also for you who want to understand more and heal on your own.

So excited about finding this book. It is an awesome addition to my current focus~ the realm of the Subtle. Covers the subject from many cultures, scientific study, metaphysical thought and more~

For many years I was an arch-skeptic when it came to the subtle systems of the body, but then a great deal of personal experience lead me to do a U-turn, and for more than twenty years I have been teaching others how to feel, sense and work with these systems, with often remarkable results. Though critics still love to call this "Woo," the tide is turning against them, and this book is a huge help.Any book about the "energetic" or "subtle" systems of the body will always attract a mixture of breathless enthusiasm and mean-spirited criticism. And sadly there are still some who believe that any mention of these systems is somehow New Age or occult, although there are almost one hundred cultures around the world that have recognized and discussed them, including the Fathers of the Christian Church. This book provides a wealth of well-researched evidence for skeptics and enthusiasts alike.Although you can have a look inside the book at the top of this page, and also on the Sounds True website, I think that it is helpful for a potential reader to see a breakdown of the six sections and forty chapters to get a good idea of the contents of the book.Part I: Energy and Energy Healing1.

If you are new to the field it gently leads you by the hand. There is also a wealth of information for the more experienced practitioner or researcher. Despite many years as both a researcher and practitioner of a number of methods that use the subtle systems of the body, I found a lot of new material in this book.Cyndi Dale writes well and I thought that her views and opinions were very fair and balanced. My only small quibble is the use of the word "Energy." I prefer the term subtle "systems" composed of the inseparable twins: First the subtle energies and second, the subtle fields that carry them. Without energy, the fields could not actualize, and without the fields, there would be nothing to carry the energy.The book itself is beautifully produced and easy to navigate. I am delighted that Sounds True is producing ever more high quality books like this.This is the only book on the subtle systems that you need. It is well worth the price, and is not only a reference and textbook, but also a wonderful book to browse through.Very highly recommended.Richard G.

Excellent eye-opening read!

The Subtle Body is a truly outstanding 5 star book, and a masterpiece of publishing and easy readability. In my view, it is an essential book on the subject of subtle energy and health/disease. The book is subtitled An Encyclopedia Of Your Energy Anatomy, however it is that and MUCH MORE. The book is beautifully and clearly written; and subdivided into 6 parts containing 40 chapters each addressing essential fundamental information on energy structures and systems - (the fields, channels, and bodies) -- that underpin our physical bodies and physical reality. Additionally, this book explores means of accessing the tools and techniques used to energetically modify (heal) dis-ease and illness examining techniques used in ancient times as well as today's contemporary theories of subtle energy. The 10 pages of Notes allows for additional detailed reading on any area of special interest. The extensive bibliography alone is worth the price of the book. The many color illustrations are of the highest caliber and clarity; plus the publisher used high quality paper in the book imparting a wonderful feel to the reader.On a personal note, I am a practicing physician with over 30 years experience as a specialist treating patients with pharmaceuticals and surgery. However, over the years I begin to wonder why some patients healed, and others with the same diagnosis and treatment did not heal. A quest for greater knowledge sparked a journey that ultimately lead me to discover Cyndi Dale and her work in healing. There are many books now in print on subtle energy, however, this book by Cyndi Dale is by far the most comprehensive, most researched, and best written book I have seen on the subject. In my view it is essential reading for anyone who desires to participate in the next revolution in medicine.James E.(Ed) Shotts, MD

Amazing, so much information that blew my mind. I’m so grateful for a better understanding of subtle energy and the universe.

uncritically.If you want a collection of all sorts of topics related to energetics, and want to self curate them for your own purposes, this is a nice reference.If you are looking for testable information, or reliable facts and figures... not so useful.
