Why read it?

2 authors picked Hands of Light as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Although this is a little dated, I love this book because it holds so much information for beginners on the path of healing. 

The diagrams in the book show, I believe clearly, how our auras are affected by different emotional states, there’s a fascinating comprehensive dowsing chart which is great for students who are less confident with their intuitive abilities, but every time I pick it up even now I get inspired with new aspects to bring to my courses and workshops. 

This book is the best guide to learning about human energy and how I can intentionally work with the Human Energy Field to live happier and healthier lives. The book was written for the reader to learn how to heal by mastering human energy; however, its wisdom also applies to an open-minded person who is willing to look beyond what can be seen and understood. It can be academic and heavy-duty, but going through it was well worth the effort!  

This book completely shifted my Coaching practice and updated my belief system. Barbara’s scientific background allowed me to suspend judgment…

From Ricardo's list on non fiction mastering your energy.
