This can-do guide offers good advice and insights that can help everyone, not only those with chronic fatigue and pain, be 'active players' who bring passion and purpose to their own 'game of life.' . . . Davies presents empowering ways for people to focus on what they can change and, in the process, to keep their personal 'stress buckets' from overflowing. Chronic symptoms almost always have some roots that remain undiscovered despite conventional medical intervention. Wouldn't it be nice to know to what degree your symptoms are tied to these roots? Kyle Davies provides experience-based guidance which may well become the catalyst for your healing process.
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.

It will help you pave the way to recovery, and entertain a fresh perspective on causes as well as solutions.
