Light Emerging: The Journey of Personal Healing »

Barbara Ann Brennan's bestselling first book, Hands of Light, established her as one of the world's most gifted healers and teachers. Now, in her long-awaited new work, she continues her ground-breaking exploration of the human energy field, or auro - the source of our experience of health or illness. Drawing on many new developments in her teaching and practice, she shows how we can be empowered as both patients and healers to understand and work with our most fundamental healing power: the light that emerges from the very center of our humanity

In a unique approach that encourages a cooperative effort among healer, patient, and other health-care providers, Light Emerging explains what the healer perceives visually, audibly, and kinesthetically and how each of us can participate in every stage of the healing process.

Presenting a fascinating range of research, from a new paradigm of healing based on the science of holography to insights into the "hara level" and the "core star", Light Emerging is at the leading edge of healing practice in our time. You'll discover:

How each of us can tap our innate power to heal ourselves and others

A complete patient's guide to working with a healer: How a healer's technique and goals differ from those of a physician or a therapist and how these professinals can best cooperate to facilitate healing

The seven layers of the healing process: how to meet your needs on each level, plus step-by-step instructions for creating your own healing plan

Startling new information about energy interactions in relationships and how to break through negative patterns to new, positive contracts with those closest to us

The crucial connection between healing, creativity, and transcendence

And much more

Complete with case histories, exercises, and both black-and-white and full-color illustrations, Light Emerging offers a new path to healing, wholeness, and expanded consciousness.

Research physicist and founder of her own school, Brennan is a leading New Age healer. She provides here a useful introduction to the scientific background behind her laying-on-of-hands technique. Brennan offers an explanation of her healing perspective and its use in conjunction with medical therapy, the stages and importance of self-care, and healing relationships through auric field interaction and higher spiritual realities. She encourages taking personal responsibility for one's health through a holistic approach and consultation with nontraditional specialists as well as a physician. This self-help book may become a New Age classic. Highly recommended.
