THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOK I'VE READ IN THE FIELD !

The book "positive energy" is refered to as a "make you feel beter" book... but after reading it, it is obvious the knowledge is so thorough and to the point that you can realy call it an advance book on the subject of energy healing.

It is obvious that dr. judd speaks from experience, this is why the practical aspect can realy be taken to practice.

I read many books on the subject, this is realy an exeption as it talks about the small very important neuances... I think it is worth much more than its prise.

Very easy to read, gracefull and rich in content, this book is a treasure.

Dr. judd allso turned out to be very friendly and caring, she e_mailed me back regarging a question I've had...

What more can I say ? a great book...

Positive Energy: Coping with Stress for a Happier Life

Veteran psychiatrist Dr. Judith Orloff ventures to spotlight practical Energy Psychiatry, her expertise, a blend of traditional medicine and subtle energies of body and mind in her latest book Positive Energy (Three Rivers Press, New York, 2005). Grounded mainly in the deep-rooted mystical traditions, Energy Psychiatry is a scientific transformation of abstract energy principles for the treatment of a range of everyday problems like anxiety, maladjustment, mood swings, sexual discontent, and the general stresses of life. That makes Positive Energy a book for almost everyone.

Dr. Orloff divides her book in two parts: Building your Energy and Creating Positive Relationships and Combating Energy Vampires. The first part offers seven prescriptions each showing a window to utilizing and boosting one's subtle energy resources. The second part involves three prescriptions on creating positive relationships, tackling energy-draining people (the Energy Vampires) and tuning in to the abundance of joy all around. Personal experience and stories of her patients make an interesting vista of healing with positivism. What attracts more, perhaps, is the voice of celebrities like Jamie Lee Curtis, Larry King, Shirley Maclaine, and others commenting on their encounters with energy-draining situations. The essence of Dr. Orloff's advice is her emphasis on staying in the Now that can be procured by some simple exercises, meditations, and mantra.

Given all the good points of the book, Positive Energy has its slack slots. The subject matter is not free of serious speculation. Myths of flowers blooming on the statue of a goddess in South Korea and intuitive premonitions of energy-sensitive people raise doubts. Some of the personal stories are redundant and sound like thrumming on the same string. The narrative mode too feels rather preachy with repetitive reminders of `I'll teach you', `I'll show you', `You'll learn' and so on. Above all, it is the view of existence through the hazy Lens of Energy that puts the author's viewpoint to question.

A reference guide, brief overview, and an index aid the reader with choice passages.

Positive Energy's interested readership is wide and varied. For a Type A person, it is a thing to seek. For a hard-shelled scientist, it is one to answer.

An excellent book

This is simply a wonderful book. I am a personal trainer and lifestyle coach based in the UK and Judith Orloff's Positive Energy is exactly the kind of book that I want all my clients to read.

Her approach is wonderfully nurturing and the content touches on all the areas in life that will make a difference. From food to sex to laughter - certainly my idea of a good time!

The inclination of the book is toward a practical application of what works for you. By following even some of Judith's excellent guidance you will nurture creativity and happiness in your life.

This book has jumped right to the top of my top ten. it speaks to me every time I open the pages.

Inspiring take on self-care!

I passed on this book the first time because it seems to simplistic but on second look, I really like it. An inspiring take on self-care!

Interesting, informative, and useful

Dr. Orloff's book entices its readers into simple changes and small, incremental steps that add up to make a significant difference in life. Her book is full of pertinent stories about her patients and workshop participants, each of which clearly illustrates the point she is making. Celebrity interviews round out each of the ten sections, and further support her recommendations. And although the things she suggests do add up to potentially profound changes, she is wise enough to make each step fairly small. For instance, she offers several meditation techniques that even I, who have always flirted with the idea of meditation but never had "enough time," can use because they take only a few minutes. What a wonderful approach!

That said, I have to add that there's something oddly -flat- about the book. I haven't been able to identify what it is, because Dr. Orloff is clearly passionate about her subject and loves teaching it. Speculating, I wonder if it is an attempt to keep the book as practical as possible in order to appeal to people for whom the concept of energy work and intuition is not immediately understandable?

That being said, if you are interested in learning more about energy work, energy psychiatry, and intuition, I definitely recommend the book. Perhaps you will find in it the enthusiasm and passion that I wasn't able to!
