If you are interested in such things as Reiki, energy healing brave a sneaking wonder whether it is all in your mind or as you want to believe, really happening...this is the book for you.
I know I can feel energy in my hands" my husband can without touching them feel "something" emanating from the palms of my hands and web
N I have applied my hands to an aching shoulder, torn muscle, severe stomach ache, headache has had complete and instant cessation of symptoms I WANT to believe but I have enough of a graduates brain that I want a reason for my beliefs and experiences, I want evidence that I am not deluding myself...and for me this does it as does all of Gary Schwartzes writings.
These experiences are tested in a Lab by proper scientists with scientific rigour that I can see and understand. This is not a light read, it takes real thought to digest the experiments and data, but don't let anyone con you into thinking it is pseudo science.
In my view the detractors ie Dawkins et al have had it all their own way for too long. Yes I have read the God delusion and to me it speaks more of someone spitting their dummy out because they don't like the rules of the game. There is no science in that but all opinion as far as I can see.
I think this book is truthful reliable and well worth a read if you are in anyway interested in spirituality and our human interaction with it.

At last a scientist has shown interest in a subject which has been a taboo for many years. I have waited for some evidence to confirm that some individuals have a gift to heal or help an individual to heal and finally it is there. Buy this book if need convincing or for sheer curiosity. If you already believe then it is wasted on you.

Good Review & Analysis Of Energy Healing Research Evidence
9 Jun 2008
Format:Hardcover
I first came across Schwartz' work almost a decade ago in the Living Energy Universe. His subsequent books have been more focused, and the Energy Healing Experiments looks at the research and evidence validating the power of consciousness and intention to guide healing energies. This book provides solid evidence and explores important questions raised by both believers and skeptics. As an energy healer I know what I observe and experience with myself and clients, so I don't need convincing... but for those who lack the expanded sensory awareness to feel and perceive energy healing it's useful to have empirical findings and methodically designed experiments that confirm something is happening that can't be explained in a materialistic manner. Gary Schwartz has done well in collecting this evidence and presenting it within a thoughtful analysis and discussion of its implications. This book is practical and more scientifically-oriented than spiritually oriented even though it does bring up the spiritual and philosophical implications of energy healing. I recommend this for healers who want to have a collection of research that supports their work, as well as the general public and skeptics who wish to carefully consider the evidence regarding this phenomenon.

Energy Healing: Woo-Woo or Reality?
17 Sep 2007
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Count on Gary Schwartz to tackle the subjects no one else will touch.
So it is with The Energy Healing Experiments. What has been dismissed as woo-woo by the traditional psychological community, Schwartz has investigated with a series of ingenious experiments that left me eager to head down to my local Radio Shack to buy the components for my own LBT (little bitty telescope).
This book is not the most exciting piece ever written, but it may just be one of the most ground-breaking. It reenergizes the questions: Who are we? What are we? What can we actually do?
Take the time to read this book thoughtfully. It will shatter some of your illusions and lead you to question what you've "always known."

Bland material with a complicated presentaion.
26 Oct 2007
Format:Hardcover
I found this book mildly interesting. There is a lot of science in here, but frankly, it was a bit much for me. The setup for the experiments was detailed, detailed to the point of tedium. By the time I got to reading the actual results I was worn out and ready to move on to the next experiment. Unfortunately for my tastes, it was more of the same. The book really lacked any WOW factor for me, and rarely was I fascinated or intrigued. In all fairness to the author, he is a scientist through and through, and seems to be meticulous in his adherence to scientific principles of experimentation.
I am guessing this book may have real appeal for the scientist or those who reject anecdote and are in need of graphs and charts for them to be interested or persuaded. But not for me, and I am guessing not for the average reader.
