I got really excited by this book. It's an easy read, full of energy tips for easy reference. It's divided into seven sections
1. Connect To Your Spiritual Core
2. Understand The Energy Of Feelings
3. Organize Your Thoughts
4. Appreciate Your Body
5. Assess Your Environment
6. Increase Your Passion!
7. Look to The Future
Each one of these have subsections, making it easy to find areas of concern for you right now when you need to. There were a couple of things I was able to make use of right away. I've been interested in energy work for quite a while, especially the whole question of raising personal energy, and this has been one of the best books I've read on the subject. I'm planning to add this to my collection for those times when I need a little more help.
It just has one flaw. It badly needed an edit. It's riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. However, they're not so overwhelming that it takes away from the very valuable message it imparts. This is a great book to get your feet wet in spiritual development but has something to offer students at every level.
Jacket blurb:
If the terms "spread too thin," "drained," and "strung out" sound familiar, it is because they accurately describe the chronic energy deficiency that many people experience today. The demands of a fast-paced world often pull our energy in multiple directions, leaving us depleted and overwhelmed. Gulping down Red Bull or relying on adrenalin for energy is not a long term solution but is being treated as such, thus causing many stress-related illnesses.
In The Energy Cure, psychotherapist and energy coach Kimberly Kingsley introduces personal energy management--a way to live life to its fullest while preserving and renewing your most precious resource. Learning to harness and manage your personal energy can elevate you from survival mode to a place where you grow and thrive. As a guide to personal energy management, this book teaches you to:
* Increase resilience against daily challenges by cultivating an energy buffer.
* Use the language of energy for making everyday decisions.
* Protect yourself from "drains" that exist in every sphere of life.
* Become free from self-defeating thoughts and behaviors that deplete energy.
We often ignore the most subtle signs of energy deficiency--excessive hunger, irritability, and even boredom. These signs indicate that it is time to plug into your internal source of energy and become charged from within. Instead, we often mistakenly over-consume as a way to energize. This strategy provides short bursts of energy followed by a lull, taking us to ever lower energy levels.
This perpetual chase of energy from outside sources keeps us drained. But you can reverse this downward cycle and have the life of your dreams. With The Energy Cure, you'll see how to make life-enhancing choices, not life-depleting ones, every moment of every day.
