Description: This book, written by a well-known scientist with a background in biophysics and biology brings together evidence from a range of disciplines to provide an acceptable explanation for the energetic exchanges that take place in all therapies. It addresses a growing interest in the field of mind-body medicine and the role of natural "energy forces" within the body in maintaining normal health and wellbeing. This in turn has lead to interest in how these energies or forces may be channeled to assist in healing and the restoration of normal health.

Now, working with her husband, David Feinstein, Ph.D., a former faculty member of The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Donna has produced a book that not only articulates the principles of all therapies that work with the body as an energy system, it illustrates those principles with gripping case examples, backs them with the explosion of supportive research studies seen in the past few years, establishes them within a 5000 year cross-cultural perspective, and, most importantly, delivers to the reader a systematic program for self-care.
