Editor's Review:Are You Suffering from a Personal Energy Crisis?
In this groundbreaking book, renowned educator, natural medicine pharmacist, and initiated shamana Connie Grauds helps you tap into the wellsprings of vital positive energy that lie within you--but are often blocked by the dispiriting negative energy of fear. Combining cutting-edge Western science with the ancient healing principles of shamanism, Grauds explains how fear and its side effects are at the root of a variety of ailments, from lethargy, depression, and insomnia to the most serious illnesses--and provides a practical program that will revitalize every area of your life. From restoring physical and emotional health to gaining harmony in work and personal relationships, here are exercises that will teach you how to: Eliminate energy-depleting habits and create new, energy-generating behaviors, identify your energy "leaks", release stress and tension through a deeper somatic awareness and to restore the dynamic flow of energy through the eight primary entradas, or gateways: mind/soul, breath, water, food, exercise, nature, relationships, and altruism.
In addition, Grauds shares personal experiences from her fascinating ten-year apprenticeship in the Amazon with a master healer. Now you can begin on a path of balance, wisdom, sanity, and self-knowledge that will support even the most demanding lifestyle and help you achieve the optimum health that is naturally yours. Reader Reviews: This is one of the very best books I've read in the area of health and spirituality. It's easy to understand, well written, and puts together information you can find in pieces in many other places or verify from other sources. What appeals most to me personally is the spiritual core which is not "religious", which she integrates with immensely practical health practices involving "breath" "water" "relationships" "nature" etc. The concept of "susto"--a fear-based state of being--as the source of energy depletion makes complete sense to me. And she suggests many ways to get out of that state into what she calls "sustainable being."Connie Grauds continues to be one of the most insightful and sensitive writers and practitioners of our day. In "The Energy Prescription" the pharmicist and Amazon trained shamana uses her unique "dual process" to give us new understandings and approaches to age old problems such as anxiety, depression, insomnia and sexuality.
Written from the heart yet appealing to the brain Connie's balanced approach using the wisdom of the ancient shamans and advances of modern medicine is both thought provoking and reassuring.
The perfect practical sequel to "Jungle Medicine" you will be compelled "to find this same 'energia espirita' in nature where you live."
