For Diane Goldner, what began as an investigative story for The New York Times, became a four-year pilgrimage into the thriving yet controversial world of energy healing in America. Her report, How People Heal, serves as both an introduction to this world, and an engrossing narrative featuring in-depth portraits of healers Barbara Brennan and Rosalyn Bruyere. Goldner spent hours alongside these spiritual and savvy women witnessing their healing work, while casting a critical eye at the business side of their organizations.

How People Heal also introduces you to physicists mapping the effects of love and desire across time and space, nurses using therapeutic touch on hospital patients, and heart surgeons using energy medicine in the operating room. Most important, you'll meet Jonathan Kramer, Doris Dennard, Marilyn Schneider, and others like them, whose lives and life-threatening illnesses have been transformed by the work of energy healers.

How People Heal is the trade paper edition of the 1999 hardcover Infinite Grace: Where the Worlds of Science and Spiritual Healing Meet.

How People Heal takes you inside:

  • schools and institutions training energy healers
  • traditional hospitals and clinics integrating energy medicine into everyday practice
  • labs measuring the effects of energy and consciousness on healing
  • the hearts and minds of patients choosing to work with energy healers instead of conventional therapy

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource from a reliable source

I first heard of Diane Goldner in an interview on Dr. Christian Northrup's radio show on Hay House Radio. I had been interested in learning more about energy healing and I felt Diane to be a reliable source.

The fact that she wrote this book as part of her NYTimes investigative reporting job inspired confidence in me. Diane came into energy healing as a skeptic and after thorough investigation saw that this modality of healing had credibility. I find all the references provided throughout the book very useful. Diane cites studies in which energy healings have been studied by scientists and physicians. What I appreciate about this is that these studies are not publicised in mainstream media and now I know about them.

I find the book to be a very interesting read as one follows Diane through her investigative journey and healing journey.

This book has become a resource for me and have been referring back to it for the past two years.

I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Infinite Grace - assessible healing

This is a beautiful book giving a summary of essential reading for those on a spiritual path. Although often complex topics, the author has made a clear and easy to read book containing beautiful topics to stimutate reader approaches to self healing. Knowledge in this book can be taken further but the book does present well many overlapping ideas that seem to link for those who explore these topics.
This book is a must read and then I challenge readers to not purchase this book.
It is wonderful.

Best book I've read that explains the human energy field and how energy healing "works". Written from a solid foundation by a journalist who came to the subject initially skeptical, and became thoroughly convinced of this important healing modality. Filled with real-life stories of people whose lives have been transformed through working with the human energy field. An absorbing, easily readable book that entertains as it informs.

I have never writtten a review of any of the many books I have read concerning energy and healing, however I feel very moved to write this one.

I have been a reiki practitioner for over 10 years and a massage therapist even longer. I have felt energy fields and have helped many to feel better and begin to heal themselves. I read this book with great interest and with great hope. I am fascinated by energy, spirituality, and how quantum physics is now bringing us full circle with science and creating a completely different way of looking at health and healing. For that aspect, I enjoyed reading much of this book. However, I do take issue with the idea that healers should be tested and verified, and that you cannot possibly be a legitimate healer without attending schools or spending many years of study (not to mention much $$$) with others who are so called experts.... putting such a 20th century medical stigma on a healing modality based on intention and love makes no sense to me. In my experience, the fact that one healer can see and observe the aura and another cannot does not determine their ability to fasciliate healing. Even with all the studies, we will never know exactly what makes a person able to heal, or why some people recover and others do not. What we need are more people open to the possibility that they can heal themselves or even others...not some sort of heirarchy of healing professionals that determine whether we are good enough or not.
For this reason, and it is a big one for me, I cannot recommend this book.
