Summary

Written in accessible language for bodyworkers and hands-on therapists,Healing with the Chakra Energy Systemdescribes the use of very simple nonsuppressive and nonsymptomatic techniques in which the cause of the disease process may be halted and disharmony within the body may be changed into harmony.

Based on the author's decades of clinical and teaching experience, this book represents a fresh approach to healing by tapping chakra energy.
