Awakening the Healer Within: An Introduction to Energy-Based Techniques

Batie, a former satellite communications engineer-turned-holistic healer, describes a variety of energy-based healing techniques in this discursive guide to improving mental and physical health. Batie locates the root cause of disease in faulty or damaged patterns in the etheric body (aura) or in the higher energy bodies (emotional, mental and spiritual). An aberration in any of these energy bodies will, according to Batie, manifest in physical symptoms unless it is brought to consciousness and released. The healing modalities addressed here are ones that Batie uses in his own practice as a healer to release problems in the physical energy body (reiki, healing touch), the etheric energy body (spiritual surgery, reflective healing), the emotional and mental energy bodies (rohun transformational therapy) and the spiritual energy body (kundalini energy and light energization). He describes how each practice can repattern faulty energy systems and leads readers through techniques used in a typical session. Batie primarily addresses healers and trainees, but lay readers will discover precisely what they will encounter in a healing session, as well as a greater understanding of how to modify deeply entrenched negative thoughts and beliefs. Most importantly, he effectively communicates the deep level of commitment required of the therapist and client in the healing process. (Oct.)
