All healers are “energetic” healers, whether they know it or not. Because every health issue has a physical and an energetic component, even a simple physical treatment like bandaging a cut also impacts the body’s spiritual, mental, and emotional welfare. The Subtle Body is a comprehensive encyclopedia devoted to the critical world of our invisible anatomy, where so much of healing actually occurs. Compiled by intuitive healer and scholar Cyndi Dale, this 500-page full color illustrated reference book covers: * What is the “subtle body”? New scientific understanding of our quantum-state existence and the unseen fields that determine our physical condition * True integrative care: how combining Eastern energetic modalities with Western scientific rigor yields optimum results * The meridians, fields, and chakras: detailed information and diagrams about the role of these energetic structures in our overall health * Energy-based therapy principles from the world’s healing traditions–including Ayurveda, Qigong, Reiki, Quabalah, and many more. For professionals who want to make the leap from being good healers to great ones, one thing is clear: we need to care for every facet of our well-being. With The Subtle Body, practitioners and patients alike now have an unprecedented resource for understanding the physical, energetic, and spiritual elements of human health–for an informed, complete approach to healing.

5 Stars An Awesome Achievement
When I was very young and quarantined for some childhood disease, I actually read the encyclopedia from beginning to end (for lack of anything else to read). That was the last time I read an encyclopedia cover to cover . . . until now.

That’s exactly how I’m reading The Subtle Body . . . cover to cover.

Like other encyclopedias, this one does not usually go into great depth on any one subject. For more information, you can always find a more focused book on Amazon or dig into the scientific literature. But for a good overview on whatever question you might have about energy fields and other more esoteric studies, this is the most valuable book you could have.

I am in awe at the expertise of this author. She covers a wealth of subjects in many areas that until recently were regarded as mere New Age woowoo. In addition, she provides current information on physical functions straight from the laboratory and melds the two previously unrelated fields with ease.

The book itself is superb, printed on heavy stock and beautifully illustrated. It includes a comprehensive index spanning almost 30 pages.

Highly recommended!

5 Stars Beautifully Illustrated & Wide Ranging Energy Healing & Holistic Health Encyclopedia
Once I saw a notice about it I was eager to explore the book Subtle Body: An Encyclopedia of Your Energetic Anatomy, by Cyndi Dale. It has lived up to my expectations and I would recommend it to anyone in the holistic healing arts. I find this new book to be an impressive, well-illustrated guide to energy system concepts and energy healing modalities.

It includes topics such as:

Chakras, Energy Meridians, Acupuncture, Reflexology, Reiki, Intentional Healing, Distance Healing, Ayurveda, Shiatsu, Energy Fields, Auras, Sacred Geometry, Color Healing, Sound Healing, Magnetism, Cymatics, Barbara Brennan Healing, Biofeedback, Zero-Point Field, Scalar Waves, Geopathic Stress, EMFs, Royal Rife, Nikola Tesla, Life Fields, Thought Fields, Torsion Fields, Shamans, Hans Jenny, Peter Garaiaev, Leonard Horowitz, Morphogenetic Fields, Rupert Sheldrake, Etheric Energy, Orgone Energy, Chi, Hyaluronic Acid, Kundalini, Energy Bodies, Nadis, Pranayama Breathing, Tibetan, Mayan, Kabbalistic, Tantric, Native American, Chinese, Taoist, Thai, Buddhist, Incan, Christian, Egyptian, and Indian Energy Systems, Crystals & Gemstones, Elements, EFT, Homeopathy, Massage, Diet & Nutrition, Kinesiology, Muscle Testing, Chi Gong, Radiesthesia, Acutonics, Aromatherapy, Biogeometry, Bau-biologie, Chiropractic, Feng Shui, Flower Essences, Family Constellations, Hypnotherapy, Iridology, Johrei, Matrix Energetics, Meditation, Myofascial Release, Naturopathy, NLP, Pranic Healing, Quantum Touch, Rolfing, Spiritual Healing, Tai Chi, Tui Na, Yoga, Yuen Method, and Zero Balancing.

This book has excellent illustrations related to the chakras and meridian systems and reflexology, and it is more comprehensive than any other book I’ve seen that explores energetic therapies and complementary healing modalities. Some topics it only mentions briefly while other topics are explored in depth. This book is a great reference work and it is very valuable in bringing to public awareness many lesser known energetic therapies and energy transformation methods. Practitioners may find this useful to expand their awareness of the many different therapies that are around, and health care consumers will get to learn about the many theories and practices that have generated a wealth of options for fostering health and well-being.

I was very impressed that this book did not avoid sharing about some of the more controversial and suppressed therapies and healing pioneers. Even if you may find a few flaws or errors in how modalities are presented, this book is remarkable for all that it includes - and thereby helps validate. The field of energetic medicine and healing continues to expand so I expect that there will be future editions of this book with more modalities and perhaps more detail in some areas. For now, it is a very well-compiled overview of energy healing and subtle energy systems and theories. There is a lot included in this nearly 500 page volume, and the book is nice to have as a resource.

5 Stars Beginners book extraordinaire
What a remarkable book to have in ones collection. As big and broad as this book is… I would still classify it as a introductory 101 book. Cyndi Dale covers the very basics of the human body from a physical aspect. Then she dives in to the energy aspects to show how energy, the Law of Attraction and quantum physics all tie in together. The detail of the images used in this book are awesome.

Take this book as your first semester book and then use her bibliography and notes pages as references to get further on in your studies.

4 Stars Human Energetic Anatomy & Therapies
Two of my friends are becoming certified in healing (energy) touch (one is a psychologist and the other a nurse). Both are encouraging me to also obtain this certification. Although I’ve read several books from Chopra’s Quantum Energy to other various alternative medicine/energy books, I was attracted to this book due to the vast overview of all the human energy theories and related alternative therapies. This high quality hefty book is comprised of 5 parts containing 40 chapters and part 6 that is one large chapter on Energy Practices. Many of the chapters are short and give a basic overview of the topic presented. Since my profession is nursing, chapters 1-25 were a very quick easy read that did not provide me much new information. Chapter 26 Sacred Geometry was the first chapter I read that contained new information for me. I found it very interesting regarding geometry (voice) and sound, but wished it had more detail. The remaining chapters were also quite informative on Chinese & alternative medicine and some energy therapies I’d never been exposed. The color diagrams are high quality and actually useful. The extensive bibliography is 27 pages long and a great resource for more in depth reading divided to correlate with each of the 6 parts. I really enjoyed this book overall, as it is attractive, well written, easy to understand, and it shows a lot of careful research, planning and care were put into it becoming published. For anyone interested in energy healing or other alternative therapies, this book will definitely whet your appetite and hopefully spur you on to make use of its bibliography for greater knowledge. Enjoy!

5 Stars Truly as advertised: An encyclolpedia of energetic healing.
This book is ideal for novices and experts: It touches on all aspects of esoteric healing: Complete enough to stand alone as the the only such book in your collection, offering beginners options to go deeper into specific modalities, & valid as a well-fleshed-out ‘table of contents’ for the libaries of experienced healers.
