When I first found out about <em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sehes.de\" target=\"_blank\">SEHES<\/a> <\/strong><\/em>I thought that I want to know more. More about energy healing, Reiki, meditation and aura reading. So guess what? I read a ton about it. I have been at SEHES for a couple of months and then I traveled and came back to the States so I could not attend my Wednesday- Meditations anymore nor my weekly Reiki sessions with Uwe Meissner. I was very happy when I found the book <em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Art-Spiritual-Healing-new-Bodywork\/dp\/0738746606\/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1445226261&sr=8-3&keywords=the+art+of+spiritual+healing\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cThe Art of Spiritual Healing\u201d by Keith Sherwood.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>This is the latest edition however that will be released in February 2016. I want to share upfront that the ebook was not easy to read because the pictures the author shared where apparently not meant to be read as an ebook. I think a book like this should be read in paperback or hardcover. Consider this before purchasing it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">This book is very powerful. I do not want to become a healer and I do not think you can learn this by reading a book obviously but you get the chance to know what you as a person are all about. You will learn about healing energy and what is going on in your body. Healing energy is described and ways to meditate are offered so you enhance functions of your mind that you never know you had. You will get introduced to spiritual healing and consciousness. Many chapters go into a lot of detail so I think it is not a book for the absolute beginner \u2013 like me. Sherwood describes how to heal and laying on of hands on patients, breathing techniques and simply healing other peoples through Prana Healing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">The chapter I enjoyed the most was Chapter 5 on Auric Healing. You learn about auric colors, how you can learn to see auras and how to focus and meditate. Advanced auric healing is also explained but this was again too much for me. Here I have to mention again the bad quality of the ebook. The way the body and aura is explained thorough pictures just does not work. The author goes on about mental healing and describes many exercises. What amazed me the most was that he mentioned cancer, depression or kidney stones can be completely healed through energy healing and laying on of hands. This book is not meant to be red in one sitting for sure. Rather chapter by chapter and once you mastered the exercises you can move on the next chapter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">This book might be for you if you look for answers about healing your soul and spirit, about karma, trauma and very specific chapters with in-depth explanations of meditation techniques. The author also explains about restoring your won wellness and valuable preconditions for wellness in the first place. He also mentions how important it is to enhance the relationship to the physical environment \u2013 like eating the right things and not smoking and drinking too much and shares the benefits of fasting. Further physical exercises are explained in depth like Yoga (Morning Sun Meditation), self-acceptance and contentment and how important it is to just go outside and play in nature. When was the last time you have been at the beach or in the woods?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">You do not have to be a victim of poor health or disease to read this book. However, this book is great for someone who already works in the energy-healing field and knows how to heal others. I like how the author writes in concise and very clear manner. Keith Sherwood\u2019s book is well written and thought through out and I highly recommend it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advance Reading Copy Disclosure: Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
