It's not a cut-and-dry book about energy healing.It is funny, beautifully written and provocative. It is written in a quirky, humorous, personal philosophic style. Read it and enjoy. I read this book several years ago. Now I realize it remains one of my all-time favorites.
Dr Walker charges SCIF for services not rendered. Now she has gifted him with Prosches, and a Morris Minor, buying into property deals and other expensive gifts. I read the book with interest based on some openings I had experienced in 2000. His flexible and self serving ethics are also evident in his sleeping with patients that can further his financial goalsI introduced Dr Walker, DC to my Kundalini yoga teacher (77 years old) and he slept with her within 1 months of the introduction. I wish I'd never read the rather interesting subject of Barbara Brennan and her energetic arua reading healers. After reading about Barbara Brennan and her advice to a fellow who shed given a healing in a San Diego Hotel- go see Michael Spatuzzi in Del Mar for a follow up healing.I called the number in the phone book- for Mountain Natural Distributing -Mike began to explain his healing modus operandi- I told him I would trust him - much too much -off to see M Spatuzzi I went.After seeing Michael Spatuzzi for 31/2 years, I fell. He referred me to Dr Don Walker DC to continue energetic healing and to work with my back and in order not to treat a non cash paying patient (WC claim).Dr Walker while odd and self serving is pleasant and sweet, and all the while being highly manipulative.
A must-read for skeptics and non-skeptics alike.and especially recommended for those of you intellectuals who believe but feel guilty about it. Finally. :-) This book will enlighten you. An intelligent, thoughtful book on energetic healing and new age philosophy that doesn't sound like it was written by a 10-year-old. Well-researched, insightful, and awe-inspiring.
Brown, who went from skeptical and objective journalist, to avid client and participant in the subtle energy healing arts. He also delves into the history of mental and bio-energetic practices and practitioners, and includes Mesmer, Reich, and others.Brown works out in print the cognitive dissonace between his skeptical and rational evaluations, and his personal empirical results and experiences which contradicted them.
This is a great first hand exploration of the worlds of chakra healers, astral spiders, extraterrestrial skull implants, and dozens of other unconventional, new age, and esoteric healing beliefs and practices. I found his ongoing inner commentaries and point-counterpoint debates entertaining and hilarious at times.
.energy healing and healers. Brown chronicles his experiences and relationships with several prominent and not so prominent practitioners.
There is something here for both believers and skeptics of this universe next door. This is a fun, informative, and personal story of Mr.

Having been raised in a family where scientific proofs were valued by otherwise open-minded parents, I had been vacillating between belief and disbelief for years. Add to this Mr.
When I finally turned the last page I was dismayed that there wasn't more to read as so many questions had been left unanswered. Brown's hilariously dry wit (which puntuates most of the book) and you have what is basically an exploration by an everyman/writer into a mystery he only half comprehends.
I approached Chip Brown's book with a healthy load of skepticism astride my shoulders (which is probably why I visit a chiropractor every week). Brown presents his journey into 'the metaphysics of healing' makes for tedious reading at times but also contains passages that flow into the readers consciousness like a tide of enlightenment.
In the final analysis, it has only complicated my own journey of exploration. Having submitted my body to various alternative healing procedures over the past two years, homeopathy, polarity, muscle testing, and accupressure were not unknown techniques.
