Robert C. Bornstein, DO, author of Stressed In Kyle Davies's 'Energy-flow' approach makes an invaluable contribution to the growing critique of the current biomedical paradigm, with a wealth of practical suggestions to help us maximize our potential as human beings (which Davies rightly places at the heart of our sense of well-being). Davies draws freely from his own life experience (and those of his clients) to illustrate how to apply these ideas in everyday life, helping to make this book both deeply insightful and very readable. Thoroughly recommended.
Martin Treacy, PhD, CPsychol, Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society This book presents a theory suggesting that alignment with the 'true self' is the key to health and well-being. Misalignment causes health problems and 'Energy-flow' is the key to recovery. A series of exercises to help achieve realignment with the true self and a state of high consciousness is presented in the second part of the book. Readers will benefit from repeatedly dipping into the book and will move from an intellectual understanding to a deep body appreciation.
