Unseen Energies 101

If you are just learning about the unseen energies around us, this is the book for you. If you have studied Feng Shui, Reiki, or any of the other topics covered in this book, you will at best be bored, at worst find "inaccuracies" (most a matter of opinion or preference) and overgeneralizations. It is a wonderful starting point though, and does a fine job of tying many different but related topics together. Start here, and then graduate to more advanced and detailed texts.

Not very deep, but comprehensive

This book gives an excellent overview of energies and forces that are currently not recognized by the mainstream of scientific research. I share the previous reviewer's scepticism at the author's detailed knowledge of the many topics he writes about, so I would not recommend this book to someone who seeks to study a particular topic in detail. However, as an introduction or survey of the vast field of esoteric energies, it is more than adequate.

Awankening to many schools of thought

I loved this book. It really opened my eyes to the variety of ways that energy affects our lives. Drawing from the most up to date science theories to thousands of years of mystic traditions, the author shows how all things really are tied together with energy. Everyday we have opprtunities to see and alter the exchange of energy with our fellow humans, the planet and the universe. Also by keeping the articles short, the author allowed me to pick up the book and put it down everyday, always having learned something new. A must read.

Lots of information digested in one book--very informative

I learned alot---changed my thinking and my approach to life. Cannot say the editing was what it could have been, however, a little choppy, but still a very worthy text and I have and will recommend it.
