A Valuable Textbook.......2007-10-05
This book was a quick read, since there are many full page illustrations. I have revisited the book often, and consider it a valuable resource for years to come.
I admit to being skeptical when I purchased Steve Murray's products: How could a Reiki Master justify passing the secret Reiki symbols on to the general public? But I feel that we live in different times now. To coin a phrase by Caroline Myss, there are now many "Mystics without monasteries." I am grateful that Steve has made attaining higher levels of Reiki practice available to those who cannot afford to go the traditional route.
Wonderful.......2007-09-18
Here's my story. I didn't want to get any of his books or dvds. I read some of the reviews from other Master's and they talked badly about his teachings and how an attunement could not be done by watching a crystal on dvd. But, later i remembered having a dream when i was younger of watching myself staring at a crystal on tv. I thought it was freaky and didn't know what it meant, but then it all came together. So i started off with his first reiki book, the psychic attunement, and the reiki level one attunement. I had better results than i thought i was going to get. I have a natural gift for healing and i've been using it un-trained my whole life. His books and dvds helped me out a lot. This is the real thing and if you are new and looking to try reiki, i highly recommend it. I don't write reviews and Steve Murray is the first review i've ever written on. This is because i want people to know that this is real and powerful. The DVD's are powerful and the books explain it all and enforce all that is Imparted to you. By the way, I am a Christian and you should know that Reiki has no religion. I recommend all the DVD attunements, and i've read the first 3 Reiki volume set and the false beliefs. I will be getting more of his books and teaching. But i hope that this review and his works help you like it's helped me in my entire life and the people around me. I've healed things from headaches and back pains, to two different friends that were in the hospital death bed, one with severe kidney failure and the other had AIDS and i helped bring his status down to a controlled HIV status. Both were overnight. night saying it will work like that for everybody, but know that it will work in it's own way, some way. Be blessed all who read this.
Ultimate Guide Indeed........2007-09-05
I specially recomend this book if you have recently received your Reiki Master attunement or plan to do so. Nearly half the book is dedicated to the attunement process for levels 1, 2, Master, Healing and Psychic. Contains valuable information and it is easy to read and understand. It's a great book for my collection.
Excellent!.......2007-08-19
Not to repeat what has already been said but I just want to add my support to the positive reviews. I too read the reviews here before purchasing. I visited his website and came back here because Amazon always has the best deals. I took a leap of faith. The book is the foundation for the attunements. It is very clear and personalizes the Reiki Master who is giving you the attunements. I wouldn't do the attunement without having read the corresponding part in the book. You have to know what you have to know. The DVDs worked for me. I totally support this method and will continue on. I know there are different strokes for different folks but I gave it a chance it paid off. Actually, it paid off big time considering how much others charge for the same. I am extremely grateful to Steve Murray. He is a special and gifted guy.
Wonderful.......2007-08-09
I would like to thank Steve Murray for providing these Reiki attunement programs. I have received 1st and 2nd degree from his products and also from a live class. The experiences were very different but both were wonderful. I have not been able to raise the $1,000 required for my Masters Attunement from the organization that I received my live 1st and 2nd from but Steve has made it very affordable to receive the attunement. I have read some of the reviews and see that one or two have been upset because they didn't feel anything. I don't know what they expected to feel but Steve does explain that if you can't feel anything it does not mean that you did not receive the attunement. I have definitely been able to tell that I have received the Master Attunement even though I didn't "feel" that much while receiving the attunement.
I definitely recommend that anyone taking his attunements also read his Ultimate Guide Trilogy. They are so packed with information about Reiki that I feel so much more prepared to be a Reiki healer than I did prior to reading them. They are truely wonderful and his A Reiki 1st, Aura and Chakra DVD is very helpful in showing you how to perform your own attunements. Reiki False Beliefs Exposed is very good in answering questions you might have about things you have heard about Reiki and setting the record straight in many areas. I also have had Steves Psychic attunement and the wonderful thing about his programs is that you can take them over and over again and that is something you can't do with a live attunement. Of course, you need to follow Steve's cautions in waiting three days between pschic attunements. I believe that taking the Reiki Healer attunements over and over can continue to improve my abilities to be a better healer.
Book Description
In 1997, Dr. Richard Bartlett experienced an event that would redirect the entire course of his life.
He suddenly discovered that by lightly touching his clients while at the same time applying focused intent, he could restore them to a physically, mentally, and spiritually balanced state, instantly shifting misalignments that had plagued them for years. Most astonishing of all, he could teach anyone how to do this. Now, for millions of people looking for empowerment in an age of declining and impersonal healthcare, Dr. Bartlett shares this phenomenon in a book full of explosive potential.
In Matrix Energetics, Dr. Bartlett builds upon his popular seminars to teach us how to access the discovery he has made -- a process that merges the science of subtle energy with our innate imaginations to produce measurable results. By applying forces known to modern physics, each of us can tap into states of healthy awareness from different moments -- in essence, travel in time -- and bring them into the present for immediate, profound results. As Dr. Bartlett clearly shows, this practice requires no special training, produces transformation in the blink of an eye, and is available to everyone who has a willingness to learn.
Matrix Energetics, The Science and Art of Transformation, provides an easily-reproducible, results-oriented process of change that draws on the fundamental principles embraced by the field of quantum physics. This paradigm-busting book can teach anyone how to access their creative power to heal and transform their lives. Dr. Richard Bartlett discovered that what he once thought about the human body was just the tip of the iceberg -- after seeing change beneath his hands, and hearing about the invisible transformations that were often revealed later -- he knew that he had to pass along what he had discovered.

Excellent.......2007-10-11
I was very impressed with this book, an "outside of the box" view of alternative healing.
ME Review.......2007-10-10
If I had to sum this product up in one line: This looks like a fantastic supplement to one of the seminars advertised on the ME website, but as a how-to guide, it leaves much to be desired.
Pros: Written in a very inspirational, but not preachy, style. I liked the many stories and personal anecdotes. I am an engineer and have taken basic quantum physics and this book, unlike many squishy new age type writings, didn't make me want to scream at the author's very loose treatment of quantum theory - Mr. Gordon pushes it at times, but not too far beyond what experimental data has to offer. He does offer a password-protected video for those who purchase the book that is supposed to help illustrate the technique(s) he teaches.
Cons: Some people seem to have a knack for energy work. I am not one of them. He does provide a set of exercises and I am working on them regularly, though without the rapid improvement in "energy" flows that I would desire after reading the book. If you can't make a seminar (as I have been unable to at this point) then we can only wait for a DVD or more video clips on the website to help illustrate some of his points further.
Overall, if you are into this type of thing, it looks like an interesting technique. If you are (like me) a skeptic who wants to believe and, more importantly, wants to be able to actually do this "energy work" then it leaves a bit to be desired.
exciting concept.......2007-10-06
Be prepared to let go of everything you already know. Fascinating work. I have signed up for seminar to see more.
Another skeptic is converted..........2007-09-27
Lightning bolts shot down my arms and came out of my fingertips. My head expanded as each hair felt like it had taken on a life of its own, searching for its own universe. My spine forgot its reason was to support my body and started bending one way, then the other, like an abandoned "bendy" toy. Twenty years of stress and anguish somehow found an exit through my brain, which was struggling to comprehend what was happening. Finally my legs buckled under me and my body collapsed into the welcoming arms of a Matrix intern, who had seen this exhibition many times before and fortunately was more prepared than I was for what was to be a life-altering experience.
As he gently lay me on the floor, laughing hysterically and more relaxed than I had felt in many years, I knew that the hands of Dr. Barlett had created something mystical .......
I had heard Dr. Bartlett on the radio, and was interested enough to go to his website, and then order the book - I was somewhat skeptical about the whole thing and felt that I wanted to attend a seminar so that I could see for myself. I must admit, that I was a little uneasy enrolling for the seminar, as it made me feel that the book was just enticing you to attend the seminar.
On the first day of the seminar, I told Dr. Bartlett (who is extremely "approachable" and available to anyone who wants to speak to him personally) I needed to feel his hands on me, as I needed "proof" that "something" was actually going on. The above description is what happened to me.
I still don't know what hit me - but I told Dr. Bartlett at the time that I felt like you had instantly taken 25 years off my life. When I returned to my seat, my new friends asked what had happened as my face had "softened" - and continued to do so over the next two days. More interestingly, my 22 year old daughter thought I had "face work" done while I was in Seattle - and relatives in England thought I had been at the Botox (something I've never done). The only problem is that it only happened on one side of my face - I now have no choice but to come to another seminar in the hopes that you can "fix" the other side of my face.
I realize this is supposed to be a book review, but I felt compelled to relay the above incident as it actually happened - I am not a doctor, or a healer of any type, and have no connection to Dr. Bartlett. But I did read the book from cover to cover, several times. I found it easy to understand and had no problem duplicating the technique with what I felt were minor successes, but could have perhaps been wishful thinking. I am only giving it four stars as I think there could have been more instructional photos. However, having read the book and having now been to all three levels of the seminar, I DO understand that, crazy as it seems, there really IS NOTHING TO LEARN!! Once you get that, you get the whole concept - and Dr. B. would be the first one to say that he has made it all up!! Name me an evangelist who would DARE to say that.
I am anxiously awaiting the next book, which I understand is in the works...and I will go to more seminars. As others, many of them M.D.s have said - there is definitely something to this, whether or not we understand what it is. All you disbelievers should suspend your disbelief for just long enough to give it a try - I did - and look what happened to me!
NOT total bunk: This skeptic got it to work!.......2007-08-23
I would not be writing this review, but I decided to after reading the previous post that this book is "Total Bunk." Being a doctor and also interested in quantum physics, I was intrigued with the idea of combining the two. I read the book with a somewhat skeptical mindset, but tried to keep open-minded enough to see if there was "something" I could get from it. I agree with some other posters that the book is somewhat of a hodgepodge and not really good at explaining the techniques. For writing, I would give it only three stars. I also thought some of the claims made either by the author or by some of the seminar attendees (as outlined in the book) were a bit pie-in-the-sky. I went to the website and noticed an upcoming seminar close to me and decided to see for myself what it was about.
Well, Dr. Bartlett got on stage and brought up people from the audience. One after another, people were falling over backwards after he touched them. It looked similar to the b.s. you see the supposed televangelical "healers" do. One man stood in an uncomfortable extreme extension posture on stage for about twenty minutes while Dr. Bartlett continued teaching and working on other people on stage. I thought I was probably witnessing some kind of hypnotic suggestions.
The next day of the seminar, Dr. Bartlett began teaching us how to do what he does. The woman sitting next to me was another doctor who had stopped her medical practice many years prior due to multiple cervical (neck) and lumbar (low back) spinal fusions from previous injuries. She had almost no strength in her right arm due to nerve damage from the neck surgery and constant pain and spasms in her left arm and shoulder from compensating for the weakness on the right. We looked at each other, both skeptical that anything like Dr. Bartlett was saying could be true, let alone us be able to do it after a brief intro.
On my first "application" of the first technique on her, there was some reduction in the spasms in the left arm with a total reduction of the pain. I decided to move on to the left arm to something I could measure more "objectively." I first tested her forearm flexor muscles and found almost no strength, then applied Dr. Bartlett's technique and retested. To our astonishment, she instantly regained about 50% of her strength. I applied the technique on that same side once again and retested. She had a full level 5 (normal) strength rating. I then moved on to the time travel technique. The doctor fell back into her seat when I got to the age that her neck injury occurred. I then two-pointed, with focused intent, to her neck, and "got out of the way." She instantly looked several years younger (we later joked about using this for anti-aging) and I told her to move her neck. Her ranges of motion were almost normal. Still being somewhat skeptical that I could have had anything to do with something like this, I spoke to her the next day to ask her if her improvements lasted, which they had. She had spend a part of the night reassessing her beliefs and I could see she was experiencing a total life change. Dr. Bartlett ended up bringing her up onto the stage on the last day of the seminar and worked on the rest of the range of motion in her neck and then her lumbar spine, having no idea that her entire lumbar spine had been fused. She bent down and touched the floor with her fingers. The stressed, skeptical face I saw in her on day one turned into one of extreme joy with a very wide smile and she was blinking back tears.
The other people I worked on were not as dramatic and I didn't have as dramatic effects occur on myself (but didn't have anything in particular that needed "healing"), but after I used the "time travel" technique on another person, I was able to give her a rundown of her life experiences from age to age that she said was "very accurate." As I did the technique on her, I "felt" things at certain ages and wasn't certain what I was feeling. AFter it was over, I gave her a quick overview of her life, not knowing what I was going to say until a split second before I actually said it. In other words, I ended up giving her a psychic reading of her past, but had no idea what her past was until I began to verbalize it!
Once I got home from the seminar, I applied the techniques to my partner (another doctor), who has a long history of injuries, including one that lead to back surgery, and terrible, contorted posture. To our surprise, he leaned forward and his very contracted calves began to elongate, then he went into a strange dance standing in place that we could see was correcting his lower legs and pelvic region. The injuries that lead to the calf contractures occurred when he was a teenager. It was the first time in decades that he felt them lengthen and relax. The next day, the focus was on another aspect of his posture. He went into another standing dance that was different than the day before and was more flowing--kind of like tai chi. It was apparent that he was moving in directions he was not able to voluntarily do on his own. This lasted about 25 minutes until he was becoming fatigued and decided to stop it, but during that time, the dance changed and I could see the focus on another aspect of his faulty postural patterns as though his nervous system was being retrained. By the way, he did not attend the seminar because he was totally skeptical and was surprised when his body began to spontaneously move when I first touched him. We have more work to do, but he reports that he is able to walk more comfortably and his chronic postural pain has reduced.
Dr. Bartlett himself does not claim to "know" exactly what he's doing. In fact, his emphasis is on shutting down the logical left side of the brain in favor of the subconscious and creative right side. It's basically having a focused intent for the person you're "working" on, then throwing it out to "the universe", "God", "higher power", "higher self", your "guides", "angels", "collective unconscious", or whatever you're comfortable calling it, to do the work from there. I certainly cannot claim, with all my training, to know exactly what I "did", except to use my consciousness to collapse the probability wave in spacetime to set "something" into motion.
And so, this bunk-seeker will be signing up for the next level seminar and will probably end up getting certified under Dr. Bartlett. This appears to hold much more promise than the $80,000 in student loans that I took out to pay for my medical training many years ago. This, I do believe now, is the medicine of the future or at the very least--a new branch. Dr. Bartlett is on to "something" and it's apparent that this is only just the beginning.

Yoga.......2007-05-26
Suggested by my Yoga teacher........great easy way to practice whether you're home or away.
Really good companion!.......2006-12-06
When I first bought this book a few years ago I tried it but after a few days lost interest. Later that year I found it again between other books I kept in a box and decided to try it again. And yes, it works!
It is not a long book, and it will take you maybe one or two days to read it. That being said, I think that it is a great source for those (like me) that like a quick dose of yoga, whether because of time or whatever reason.
The exercises within are great, and you can do them wherever you want without the need for a mat or blanket.
Ideal for traveling.
expect miracles.......2006-11-03
While recovering from a traumatic bicycling injury, I read Mr. Kilham's book and started out slowly.
I regularly increased my duration and am now incorporating The Five Tibetans into my daily life.
The exercises have opened up healing and strength channels I did not know existed. My recovery time was cut in half.
The book took all of one afternoon to read and understand, but the benefits will last a lifetime.
Pretty good!.......2006-05-12
I've been doing the exercises comprised in this book for the past few years -indeed they are good, indeed they work, but as with everything that regards the human body you can't expect them to work without you putting a bit of effort... I haven't been able to find such book yet, a book that can change your life or your health or the way in which you look at your own life by just reading it. Everything requires an effort.
If you are commited and decide to try these exercises go ahead, for they will work. They comprise a simple routine that can be done everywhere and at any time of the day.
But most important, look at the bright side of life!
Five Tibetans.......2006-03-24
Being a yoga practitioner for 6 years now - I found this book to be an excellent resource for those who want a quick effective yoga workout - those who don't have the time to do an hour a day as I do. It is also good for when you travel as it requires no mats, blocks, blankets or any of the other props needed for most yoga regimes. Only thing I found disconcerting was the First Tibetan which made me naseuous. I have to assume this would subside with time. Well written and easy to follow. A simple but effective book.

This alternative-medicine self-help guide promises to teach you to help heal yourself and others using the body's own natural energies. Building on such diverse concepts as acupuncture and therapeutic touch, Donna Eden lays out a practical framework in Energy Medicine for flushing out and recharging the body's systems.
"This book will show you how to work with the electromagnetic and more subtle energies that give your body life," Eden writes, along with her husband, psychologist David Feinstein. "These energies form the foundation of your health."
For instance, if your head aches or feels clouded, energy may be stagnating there, so do the "crown pull" to release it. The book gives a detailed description of how to do this and other energy-fixing exercises, and provides time estimates and illustrations for doing the maneuvers.
Eden, who has practiced energy medicine for more than 20 years and has given classes around the world, also relates stories about some of her clients, including those with cancer and chronic pain. While Eden says people can help themselves and others with the techniques in the book, she urges them to seek professional care as well.
Energy Medicine includes chapters on various energy systems, ranging from the meridians to the chakras, the basic grid to the strange flows, and chapters on how such systems relate to pain and illness. It also includes an appendix listing organizations and Internet sites for other forms of alternative medicine, like naturopathy and qigong. The book is a useful guide for people interested in this form of alternative healing.
Book Description
The first practical guide to using energy medicine to improve physical vitality, emotional health, and mental acuity.
"Even the most hard-nosed doctor will admit that some people have a healing presence that makes us--and our immune system--better than before. Donna Eden is one of those rare healers."--Gloria Steinem
World-renowned healer Donna Eden is able to literally see the body's energy keypoints and meridians. In Energy Medicine, she tells readers how they, too, can visualize these energy systems, determine the causes of physical and psychological problems based on the state of these energies, and devise highly effective treatments to remedy specific ailments and injuries. This is the only interactive guide that shows how you can work with energy to strengthen the immune, circulatory, lymphatic, and respiratory systems; alleviate pain, emotional stress, and depression; and improve memory and learning skills.
In health conferences throughout the world, Eden consistently exhilarates and amazes her audiences. Blending intuitive genius with a profound grasp of how the body functions as an energy system, Donna Eden's unique approach to energy medicine integrates Eastern, Celtic, and Western healing arts.
Illustrated with black-and-white line art throughout

Amazing book! Worth reading more than once.......2007-10-09
This is a wonderful reference book. It contains so much information I refer to it again and again... The type of book I buy for all of my friends. It is a Great Christmas gift for any one interested in alternative types of medicine, or natural cures.
Donna Eden - Excellent!.......2007-09-16
Donna Eden is indeed the 'guru' of Energy Medicine. I purchased her book a couple of years ago and then bought this for a friend. Intelligently written, easily understood, and proves without a doubt that energy is very real. Donna Eden is wonderful and her techniques are life changing.
Outstanding Overview of Energy Medicine Techniques.......2007-09-02
How I wish I could see energy as Donna does! This is a facinating book for those of us who are learning more about energy work and healing. I ordered a copy for someone who is a long-time energy healer. She said, "I LOVE this book! It's reminded me of things I'd forgotten and given me more techniques to use in ways I hadn't done before." This is an excellent collection of enery methods, and it's well written.
Most Practical Easy to Understand Energy Guide Ever.......2007-07-07
Im extreemly new to Energy healing and found Donna's book my mistake over at Barnes & Noble. Skimming through the pages, I was so impressed, because Donna lays out the information in such an easy fun way, that anyone can really learn the exercises- even kids. The book is very practical. As a newbie who is learning these things, I reccommend it for everyone and plan to use this book as my permanent reference book for life.
Pump up your energy!.......2007-07-07
This is a great book--on the cutting edge of energy medicine and energy psychology. Donna and David explore a variety of energies in the body and how to jump-start them for your health and happiness. Read it, apply it, and enjoy better health! --Dr. Fred Gallo, author of Energy Psychology: Explorations at the Interface of Energy, Cognition, Behavior, and Health, Second Edition (Innovations in Psychology) Energy Tapping, and Energy Tapping for Trauma: Rapid Relief from Post-Traumatic Stress Using Energy Psychology
Book Description
Quantum-Touch is the touch-based healing technique that uses the chi of both practitioner and client, bringing them into harmony to allow the body to heal itself. Quantum-Touch differs from other healing techniques because it does not require long years of study and presents none of the common hurdles of understanding or application; anyone can learn to use it to become a healer, both of others and of self. In this new edition of his best-selling guide, Richard Gordon leads the reader step by step, clearly explaining how to use breathing and body-focusing techniques to raise one's energy levels. Once that is achieved, the healer can correct posture and alignment, reduce pain and inflammation, help balance emotional distress, and even heal pets. Above all, Quantum-Touch can be used in tandem with all other healing modalities, including Western medicine, and its efficacy has been attested to by physicians, acupuncturists, chiropractors, and other healing professionals.

One Minute Hip realignment.......2007-07-31
Richard Gordon writes with such clarity, caring and love, and the drawings and photos are wonderful. This is a superbly helpful book, easy to follow and learn from. After months of seeing a chiropractor with a rotation in my hips, the problem was gone in about two minutes by just following the simple breathing-touch exercise shown in the book for hip alignment. My husband (a "nonbeliever") positioned his hands lightly and breathed energy as I instructed reading from the book, and lo and behold, my hips aligned themselves. No pain, no complicated procedure. Simple and direct, and I am so very thankful! Just that healing alone more than paid for the price of this invaluable book.
This stuff does work.......2007-07-26
I'm just an occasional user of the healing arts. I started out learning w/ Healing Touch from a gifted practitioner who told me about it. When I tried it on my mother, the pains would just radiate into my arms and I'd feel drained after a session. Then I found Quantum Touch and combined therapies. After more than a year later and only several tries, I can now do a session on my mother without the pain or drain associated with it. While watching her vital signs monitor, I saw some normalization in her breathing and heart beat while running energy on her vs. when I stopped running energy.
I also tried the coca cola trick and it does remove the carbonation, but for me, it does take time and concentration. Not bad at all for a newbie who's never done this before.
I only gave it 4 stars because the publication itself had misquoted pages numbers and I had to search for the correct page. Other than that, it's very easy to learn and has made a huge difference when I use it.
Fun stuff. Who knows, maybe I'll make a career out of this.
Almost perefect.......2007-05-19
This book is excellent in covering the basics of Quantum Touch therapy as well as presenting some very valuable tips on how to condcut a healing session properly. These tips are applicable to other healing modalities and not just Quantum Touch. The reason I gave the book four stars is because the exercises lack a more thorough description which makes it somewhat harder to learn on one's own. However, if you are not yet familiar with what Quantum Touch really is and are looking for a solid, down-to-earth, practical and effective healing modality, this is the book to read.
Quantum Touch.......2007-04-05
I stumbled upon this book, it is the teaching book to the course Quantum Touch. It is so easy to read and learn the techniques they are putting forth. If you are interested in hands-on healing this book is a must!
It tells you all about how it works, and case studies. It teaches you very simply how to use the healing energy to help yourself and others.
Helpful information.......2007-03-26
I bought this book along with Energy Medicine and find both very helpful. I work with energy healing and they are both enlightening and useful with my EFT practice.

An Excellent Reference Book.......2007-03-10
This is the only reference book I have and need on Exercise Physiology. Most useful to me are chapters on performance enhacement, high altitude acclimatisation and physical training for seniors. The first few introductory chapters and the first few pages of each chapter remind me of my basic life sciences. The authors then focus on the application of cell biology to training. The thing I like most about this book, is that there is no "guru talk". Every piece of advice is based on currect research. The book is divided into 7 sections. 1. Nutrition, 2. Energy production, 3. Energy Delivery & Utilisation, 3. Enhancement of Energy Capacity, 4. Environmental Stress, 5. Body Composition & Weight Control, 7. Successful Aging, Disease Prevention. It's a very thick book, but the paper quality is high and the colourful illustrations make it a joy to read. However, this is not simple book for the average man on the street. There is nothing sensational here - just pure science. Readers without a background in the life sciences may not be able to follow.

"the book" on exercise physiology.......2004-02-28
I am a Personal Training manager with a Physical Education undergraduate degree and Health Preservation and Rehabilitation graduate degree.
I consider that the science of exercise physiology should constitute the basic knowledge for anybody who wants to understands the way the human body functionates and acutely and chronicaly adapts to the exercise stimuli.
No matter you are(or preparing to become) a PE teacher, sport medicine specialist, personal trainer, physical therapist,athletic coach,etc, you should understand the science of exercise physiology.
Dr. McArdle's " Exercise physiology" is definetely one of the most complete books ever writen on the subject. With miriads of grafics and pictures, and tons of scientific research descriptions and results, the book is quite pleasing to read and very convincing.
With more than 1000 pages, definetelly worths its price and even more. Contains as much information as you could find in 3-4 good scientific books and much more than the complete colection of "Muscle and Fitness" starting from 1970.
You can find detailed informations together with all the book ilustrations and even 4 complete chapters at: www.connection.LWW.com/go/mcardle
The Winner!.......2003-10-06
Although it runs to 1158 pages, this winning book, long recognized as THE leading exercise physiology text, stays succinct and engaging--and not one page too long. A key asset of this book is its close engagement with the scientific literature, which appears throughout in the form of unobtrusive but crucial little superscripted numbers that cite published studies. The references exceed in both depth and richness other exercise physiology texts like Baechle's very good "Essentials of Strength and Conditioning," Power and Howley's popular "Exercise Physiology," and certainly the authors' own 678-page "Essentials of Exercise Physiology," a shorter text that breezily dumps its references at the end of each chapter without numbering them or citing them in context. The definitive coverage of many popular fitness subjects, from exercise selection to steroids to nutrition, make this masterful book not only a pre-eminent text, but great reading for any consumer who, tired of the ridiculous claims of the diet and fitness industry, seeks authoritative answers.
Knowhow behind fitness.......2003-10-02
This book is a great help in understanding what is happening within the body conerning sports training and nutrition. It is based on uncountable research studies and presented in a very readable form with ample graphics illustrations. The book helped me not only to understand more, but also to improve fitness and even loose some weight. It goes very far beyond compared to what one gets told in fitness centers. The main approach of the book is based on energy considerations. Understanding how the body handles energy makes it possible to describe the effects of exercising and performance much more deeply. I would recommend this book to every exerciser, who likes to improve physically and understand background matters. Basically, it's a textbook for sports students. But people outside, like myself, can greatly benefit from it, as well.

Dangerously out of date.......2007-08-26
Although the current printing is from 2007, this book was first printed in 1998, the year Viagra came out. Although it covers all the vitamins, minerals and over-the-counter supplements, from gingko biloba through yohimbe to zinc, it does not mention Viagra! It does cover the use of testosterone replacement in detail, but the information is too old to be trusted. Beware!
For me depression was the huge issue.......2007-08-25
For the past year and a half I have suffered from delbilitating major depression. I am 49 and I was being treated with antidepressants with no success whatsoever. I have taken maximum doses of just about everything in the pharmacy and it would have little or no effect on my mood. This wasnt mild depression, it was the most horrible experience I have ever encountered. I couldn't work, eat, sleep, I literally wanted to kill myself and very nearly did. I was seeing more than one physician, had batteries of tests and still no relief. After the most recent episode my regular doctor (an angel) gave me an injection only saying that it was her "potion" and wanted me to call her the next day if I noticed any significant improvement. I had no idea it was testosterone. I had previously had a blood test and it was extremely low (290 as I recall). I think that's lower than normal for a 70 to 80 year old man. In any case, I imagined I was feeling better even before I got home. By the next morning I felt more upbeat, happy, cheerful and motivated than I had in years. I was stunned and just prayed that the black hole wouldnt come back. I called her and she had me come in that day. She explained to me what the injection had been and that it was still not being widely accepted for the antidepressant effects that it is capable of producing.
She is teaching me to inject myself and yes, I will need to be monitored for proper levels and so forth but I am here to tell you, none of that matters. With depression that severe you dont care what it takes, you just want it gone. I understand that it is relatively common among men to suffer from that kind of depression and be unresponsive to antidepressants. If that description fits you, dont walk, run to your doctor and inquire about it. I hate to think of anyone suffering the way I have for so long when the answer may be a painless injection away. I was running out of options with the ADs and was just about convinced that if that was the best I could expect for the rest of my life, it wasnt worth it. I truly believe this therapy has saved my life. Learn about it. This book is a great place to start. Good luck to you all.
Aging, Testosterone, anti-aging medicine, longevity and quality of life.......2007-05-21
Eugene Shippen has done a great service in writing this book. There are many reasons for reading a book about testosterone therapy. Testosterone therapy has gotten a bad press in the past; physicians use it for hypogonadism in aging males and some rarely for post-menopausal females and/or hysterectomy patients; and very few physicians care enough about quality of life issues to worry about the role of testosterone in preserving not just libido but heart health, bone density, vascular integrity, emotional and/or psychological well-being, muscle retention, endurance, strength, etc., and even preventing the wasting away that accompanies AIDS.
Urologists often repeat false or questionable claims when counseling patients about testosterone therapy: "It's controversial," "Testosterone is just 'fertilizer' for the prostate," "Testosterone increases the risk of cancer," "Testosterone won't help an aging male dealing with ED if the problem is 'mechanical', etc., etc." Similar questionable claims are made when gynecologists counsel female patients about either estrogen therapy or androgen-estrogen therapy.
At least Dr. Shippen has some counterarguments to offer, based on some credible scientific studies.
Not many physicians are putting the anti-aging concerns of patients into a perspective that allows them to make intelligent choices about hormone therapy. For example, that Proscar and Avodart block DHT might mean at the very least one would need a pharmacologist to sort out the issues related to choosing which trade-offs are most important when deciding whether to treat prostate enlargement with these drugs while taking testosterone.
Read this book along with Ray Kurzweil's "Fantastic Voyage" to get a different and more wholistic approach to aging. These books are must-reads for men and women who care about quality of life issues that are not being addressed by medical practitioners too narrowly focused.
But, before one thinks that hormone therapy is just a quality-of-life issue, one must look at all of the data relating to how hormone therapy can be used to treat depression (the common cold of mental illness), mood swings, bloating, obesity, heart disease, high cholesterol, hypotension, poor circulation, etc.
Books like Dr. Shippen's are for patients who want to work collaboratively with doctors to treat diseases and avoid the resulting ravages therefrom.
Great book.......2007-05-18
I loved this book. I've been thinking about HRT/TRT for awhile now and this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to know the benefits and how to do it the right way.
A must read for men over 40.......2006-01-20
This book is highly recommended reading for both men and women who are entering their "menopause years". It provides a very easy to follow explanation of the role that a proper balance of hormones (including, but not limited to, testosterone and estrogen) play in the health of both men and women. Diminishing amounts and improper balances of hormones during the onset of "middle age" are major factors in our health and vitality, including stamina, strength, physical fitness and (of course) sexuality. I became aware of this book while reading "A Private Diary: Our First Year in Swinging" by Jerry Moore. Mr. Moore disclosed his own personal reduction in stamina and sexual performance, which was corrected through hormonal modulation as described in The Testosterone Syndrome, as well as that of a number of others encountered within the Lifestyle community. Many men tend to accept their declining sexual performance and overall health as an inevitable part of aging. Doctor Shippen's book is a must read for men nearing 40, arming them with knowledge of what is happening to them and of the alternatives available to them if they choose to do something about it. "The Sexy Years" by Suzanne Somers, aimed at women on this same topic, used Dr Shippen's book as one of her sources for research and quotes him throughout her book.
Book Description
Reiki is the ancient system of laying on of hands derived from Tibetan Buddhism. Transmitted by attunements from healer to healer, Reiki techniques have been demystified by Diane Stein, a Reiki master in practice since 1988. The author discusses the three degrees of Reiki and her experiences as a master teacher.

Un-Essential New Age Reiki .......2007-10-06
This book is a good example of what happens when you take an overtly angry Wiccan Feminist - mix in chakras, crystals, and 'higher vibrations' with a good healthy dose of New Age 'Reiki'.
There is nothing between the front and back covers that is based on factual information. What this book talks about is not Japanese, is not Usui's teachings, and is definitely not Traditional Reiki.
It is interesting, for such an angry feminist, that she tries to link Reiki to both Buddha and Jesus - even with a time line - when they are both patriarch systems.
Her knowledge of the history of Reiki and Japan is nil. Her history of Buddhism is amply as bad. She freely mixes cultures, beliefs, religions, and fiction into one big soupy mess.
This is the epitome of Western Reiki and the antithesis of Traditional Japanese Reiki.

Very good if you can ignore a bit..........2007-07-19
This is a very good book, and very thorough. An excellent book for learning about Reiki, and even better once you've been attuned. You just have to ignore the excessive "incest" examples. Plus, I just totally skipped the chapter on the Ki opening. A bit sexual for my taste! It is important to keep in mind that this is her way to do Reiki, and there are lots of ways, you have to find your own. Also, things have progressed even since she has written, so you have to take some of what she says to be in the past. I really recommend reading this book as a starting point.
Healing Spirit.......2007-07-19
I really liked reading Essential Reiki, by Diane Stein. I was able to read and understand what was being taught. The pictures for hand positions and the symbols was great. I liked the extra information concerning guides and thoughts around the Reiki healing. I highlighted a lot of information in the book and was able to bend open the book without causing damage to the center when reading. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn and master Reiki healing.
Good info on Reiki.......2007-05-08
I bought this book many years ago, at the suggestion of my Reiki Master. I liked the fact that the author was honest and wrote in an easy to understand style.
However, I must admit that the constant referral to the 'feminine' instead of a more neutral tone was blatantly obvious and does become tiresome. The author also has a spiritual leaning towards worshipping Goddesses etc. Which is not really my cup of tea.
However, like all books, you take what's useful and ditch the rest. There's plenty of useful information in this book and its a great reference guide (along with a good selection of other books)to create a Reiki library at home.
Essential Reiki.......2007-05-06
I was asked to carry this book in my shop by a couple of Reiki Masters that use this book for their new students. They refuse to work with them unless they have read this book. I'm guessing that if the master's are using this as a text book for new people, that it is what you are needing in your quest to learn about reiki.

the Energy Meicine Kit.......2007-09-09
Holistic practitioner. Good book I'm glad I have it. She has others that are excellant as well.
So much information, so little time.......2007-07-14
I accidentally purchased both the Energy Medicine book and this Kit. I highly recommend the Kit. It really helps explain the different poises and positions (which are both crucial to the success of energy work). I have to admit that while I consider myself to be open-minded I was skeptical that this would have any benefit. At best, I believed energy-work was something that only a few special people could do. This kit has proved that I can indeed do my own energy work. I just wish I had more time to play with this. I find it fascinating and think others will too. Great for anyone interested in Reiki or other touch therapies.30 Minute Mandalas: Active Meditation for the Mind and Body
Presentation.......2007-07-08
I wish I had purchased this product first before I bought the book. The DVD inside was wonderful. To see her demonstrating the moves and positions was much easier than just reading the book. I'm not saying that the book was poor. What I'm saying is, I'm lazy.
Fabulous Product - Wonderful Value For Your Money.......2007-06-21
Wow, what a great energy kit! Obviously, there are more advanced techniques floating around and in depth classes that can be taken on kinesiology then what you will find on this DVD or in on the cards but Donna Eden does an excellent job breaking down the basics to get one started with muscle testing and tapping your meridian points.
The DVD is about 1 hour long she demonstrates how energy is passed from one person to another (via a neg or pos thought) and how that energy negative or positive affects those around us. She shows you how you can tell if your energy is off through a simple muscle testing technique and then goes on to teach you that by tapping your meridian points it changes the way energy flows in your body and strenghtens your energy field. The DVD and cards in my opinion are priceless in and of themselves.
My daughter and I were watching this DVD together, there is an exercise that Donna does that helps you release negative energy, anger, and the like. So my daughter being the comedian she is at 7 says "Mom, you should do this right before you feel like you want to spank me, for real." LOL, but so true. Anyway, I would recommend buying the Dynamic Laws of Prayer or Prosperity with this kit. Both with will prove life changing.
absolutely magic.......2007-05-15
This has taken me on a whole new course in my journey to explore hands on healing. I was completely taken with the information on the included DVD and it was presented in a straight forward manner. The cards and book that go with the pack are an easy read, well formatted and informative.
This is directed at people who want the information in easy language without a lot of fuss.
I highly recomend this kit for all who are on a journey of discovery with self healing.
Book Description

Customer Reviews:
A simple question............2007-10-06
It is well known today that Usui Mikao was many things in his life - but a Doctor was not one of his professions. With the title of this book listing Usui Mikao as a Doctor, it casts doubt on the contents if the author did not know this simple fact.
The "Dr." title was a bit of fiction created by the Takata linage of Reiki (Usui Shiki Ryoho)
I give it 3 stars because I really dont know if this is fact or fiction.
A great addition to your Reiki library........2007-03-28
I found this book to be incredibly useful in my Reiki practice. Even though I had the manuals from my Reiki Master, this book helped to fill in some of the gaps. I still refer to it from time to time.
Life Changing.......2007-03-14
I was given this book by my Reiki Master in Level I. This lifestyle has completely transformed my life, while not interfering with my spiritual beliefs. This is a great addition to whatever culture or religion we believe in.
Great Reference Book.......2007-02-01
This is a full-colour book that details with photographs the hands positions used in Reiki. It's only 80 pages long, but it's perfect for what it is. It covers all part of the body, including the head, the vertebrae and the kidneys. Essential little reference book if you practice or teach Reiki.
