A Live Workshop on Human Energy Anatomy
"You incarnate to learn the wise distribution and management of energy. You'll either invest in high interest returns of your investments--or you'll go into energetic debt, which will take from your cell tissues which can result in disease." - From The Energetics of Healing

For over a decade, medical intuitive Caroline Myss has revealed the fascinating realm of energy anatomy, an invisible--but crucial--system for maintaining health and well-being. Each one of these energetic vortices--known as chakras--governs specific social interactions, fears, bodily systems, desires, attitudes, and health issues.

In the 2-DVD set The Energetics of Healing, Myss gives viewers a guided tour of this unseen dimension of our body's energy anatomy via a live lecture. Using computer graphics created expressly for this program, Myss explains how she came to see the human energy system, why she stopped giving private readings, and how learning to see intuitively is a skill--not a special "gift".

Jam-packed with rich information on how your "biography becomes your biology", this 3-hour series teaches how to recognize energy leaks, unplug from energy drains, and retrieve parts of yourself scattered throughout time. Myss spends a great deal of time on each chakra, providing relevant anecdotes and examples associated with each energy center.

Some of the fascinating information Myss imparts in The Energetics of Healing include:

* "If you're in [energetic] debt, you either get a loan from others or from stored energy in the cell tissue."

* "The more energy you keep in the present time, the slower you age. The more energetic debt, the faster you age."

* "The area below the waist can't be reasoned with."

* How the 2nd chakra is an "expensive" chakra to maintain--and is the center of "weaponry", the desire to control, and money.

* Second chakra forgiveness is not only "putting down your weapons"...but also the desire to "shoot".

* Why feeling jittery or nervous may be someone trying to get their hooks into you via the 3rd chakra.

* "If you can't manage yourself in the physical realm, do you think you'll be able to do so in the energetic/consciousness realm?"

* "The mind is an arrogant instrument--but it's the heart that calls the shots. If your heart's `not in the ring', you're going nowhere."

* The 5th chakra is the power of choice that determines where your energy goes--and how it unplugs.

* "Always take the biggest risks. It doesn't matter what road you take--only the reason WHY you took the path."

* The "reality headquarters" of the 6th chakra--and why the need to know all the details of guidance or why something happens represents a closed mind.

* How the 7th chakra is the "grace bank account"--and what this means for our energetic anatomy.

In The Energetics of Healing, Myss also covers the sacred truths of each chakra and the questions we may ask to find out where our spirit is "on assignment". She also explains why the daily practice of aligning your chakras is crucial in the journey of consciousness.

On it's own, The Energetics of Healing is a fast-paced tour of the chakras, so it could be confusing to those new the energy anatomy (and Myss' penchant for going on tangents). The good news is that this DVD set also comes with an illustrated 15-page booklet reiterating the location, purpose, and issues surrounding each of the seven chakras. Each of the sacred truths are also provided in the booklet, as are daily questions for chakra alignment. The beautiful prayer by Rev. Jim Cotter that Myss says at the end of the second DVD is reprinted, too.

The Energetics of Healing is a fantastic introduction to the seven chakras and energy anatomy, especially for those who learn best via live lectures. Myss reminds us of the importance of keeping our energy in "present time", and admonishes us to spend our "energetic currency" wisely. Even if you're very familiar with the chakra system and the teachings of Myss, you'll learn something new from this entertaining DVD set.

Makes Complete Sense
Caroline Myss was educated by nuns and priests until she was 29. In her world as a Medical Intuitive, she explains how the extraordinary became an ordinary way of life.

In this DVD set, there are two main sections to explore the external and internal realities. Caroline guides us through the human energy system and shows how losing energy leads to the breakdown of the body. She discusses survival centers, shows why we thrive in stable communities and explores the idea of spiritual power. Through an analysis of our own energy, we can learn how to stop energy "leaks." This is the loss of energy that can cause us to age faster or can impede the healing of our body.

If your body is slow to heal, you are in constant emotional conflict or you can't seem to make it through the day, you might be giving away your energy. Caroline even goes so far as to say that when we try to control other people, we lose energy through the second charka. This is a place where we deal with our self-esteem and personal power. It is very interesting to see how people become more manipulative when they don't have their own lives under control. I've seen this happen so many times in my life and in my friend's lives.

When someone tries to make you break your promise to someone and you have a very negative feeling, this DVD set will help to explain why you have those feelings and why people lose energy when they don't honor their promises. You can literally feel the loss of energy about to occur even as you think about breaking a promise.

The information about the Heart Chakra was my favorite section and we can all relate to how a broken heart drains away our life force. You will learn about willpower, emotional power, meaningful messages that come in the form of coincidences and why every relationship in your life has a purpose.

Point after point makes complete sense. If you have always wondered about how the Chakras function or what they are, then Caroline Myss is the perfect teacher to show you the diagrams and walk you through the seven Chakras in detail. She gives pertinent examples from her own life to illustrate all the points and to bring a sense of enlightenment to the entire process of learning. She ends her lessons with the 7 Sacred Truths.

Three Levels of Power and How to Use Them
Why People Don't Heal and How They Can
Self-Esteem: Your Fundamental Power

Yoga Zone Flexibility and Stress Release: A yoga practice, which includes an interesting, and healing "chakra" moment. (A good introduction to Chakras because it shows you how they work in reality instead of just theory.)

Yoga to Awaken the Chakras - also a very healing journey and you may notice you feel especially happy for days after this practice.

The Metabolic Plan - a book everyone with low energy should read because it tells you how to stop your body from aging so fast.

Good, But A Bit Disappointing After High Expectations
Caroline has set herself a high standard with her previous written work and audio lectures (which definitely get her 5 stars), and has been building up to this taped presentation for some time. She has made several references to it on her audio tapes, stating she intended to produce computer-based animation demonstrating the degradation of local body functions in relation to energy disharmonies at the various chakra levels. This is an excellent idea and in fact sets high expectations which unfortunately are not met here. The visuals are OK, but nothing to write home about - more like overhead projections. I'd sure like to see the original idea implemented, based on her extensive experience in this field.

The energetics of Healing
One of the best presentations on this subject and content I have ever encountered. Excellent Value. Articulate and thought provoking.
