There are all kinds of energy work. This book covers a whole lot of it in a concise, but general way. Is a really great book to have. Is definitely a permanent part of my library!

Dear Jill Henry
My name is Astrid and I live in a small village in the South Island of New Zealand. Years ago I found your Energy Source book in our library and after reading it I bought one for myself – it’s been an inspiration for me and I frequently refer to it for myself and tell others about it.

This is the best book that I’ve ever read, it is the equivalent of reading 10 other spiritual books, the book combines everything from mental attitudes, meditation, to indepth energy work that is easy to understand and apply. Its a summary of all that you’ll need to know… Mandy Rubiletz

REVIEW: Energy – The Newsletter of the American Polarity Therapy Association, Vol XV, N. 4, Fall 2005 by John Chitty, RPP

This is a great, relatively new resource for Polarity teachers, educators, and practitioners. The title threw me off initially, as it suggested a directory of some kind. Actually it’s a how-to manual that covers a wide ground in self-healing, based significantly on Polarity Therapy principles
The sections of the book include four major topic areas: 1. The role of mind and relaxation. 2. The chakras. 3. Polarity five element applications. 4. The energy of spaces (Feng Shui)

Throughout this book, readers gain methods to progressively explore our innermost non-physical layers, leading to energy anatomy and the body, through to external energy field effects. I thought this inside-to-outside way of organizing the material was very effective.

While the book is easy to read, it has a slightly scholarly tinge, as if it had origins within an academic project. Many of the book’s statements are annotated with research references to validate the points being made. The effect is to build a base of credibility for the concepts, while also telling readers what to do next to receive the benefits discussed.

I thought the extensive tables of chakra and element attributes were particularly interesting. While there are already many versions of these in the literature, each new version seems to bring out additional subtleties and details, enriching the total body of knowledge for everyone in the field. This set is thorough, consistent and very useful, especially for students who may still be forming a sense of the overall dynamics of chakras and elements.

Another strength of Dr. Henry’s book is her discussion of the mind’s role. Many Polarity books focus on bodywork, exercise or diedtary aspects, leaving awareness underrepresented. She presents the mental/emotional dimensions as foreground, arguably the more appropriate position in keeping with Dr. Stones’s numerous comments about how the body is an effect of the mind and feelings.
I could not help but reflect on the title myself, and how the author and publisher are using the work “Energy” as a wrapping for what are mainly Polarity Therapy concepts. This seems to be a sign of the times, and quite relevant as we ponder a future name for our association, as discussed elsewhere in this issue of Energy and on our APTA website ( http://www.polaritytherapy.org/ )

This book continues a trend that I have observed: The Three Principles take a back seat to the Five Elements. This is true for many books about Polarity Therapy, though the term ‘Polarity’ itself is derived from the Principles (Yin-Yang-Neutral) and not the Elements (Chakras). Although the concepts of Chakras and Elements are easier to understand and currently enjoy better recognition, I hope the Principles can gain their rightful, more primary place in the literature.

Overall, this book is highly recommended for Polarity schools and their students. I hope it gains wide acceptance in our community. It is clear, simple, easy-to-read and holds a wealth of great information.

REVIEW: by Leah R. Patterson BellaOnline’s Wellness Editor

How in tune are you with your personal energy? Do you know how to tap into it and use this innate power? If you find your answer is no or you feel like you could use a refresher, I highly recommend Jill Henry’s informative, accessible guidebook The Energy SourceBook. In this well laid out personal workbook, Jill covers four extremely useful and powerful esoteric practices – Relaxation and Meditation, Chakra Energy, Polarity and the Five Elements, and Feng Shui.

This book is in fact designed to help you “balance personal energy, increase personal energy, and use it for healing”. What’s even better is that Jill presents this information in an easy to read format with a style that is warmly conversational. Each chapter of The Energy SourceBook is a complete study in itself of a healing energy practice. It takes you through the theory of that practice into tangible ways to begin actually practicing it in your life. Each chapter ends with simple yet profound exercises that I personally found very powerful. The exercises really helped to bring home the concepts that chapter covered in a very real, “organic” way. I was also presently surprised to feel my sense of confidence and assuredness in these areas rise with each exercise I tried.

The exercises are well-designed to be encouraging and empowering in this way. One feature that I found very pleasing was the brevity of the chapters. It was really wonderful to have a book with such profound information written in a way that encouraged you to spend more time in practice of the concepts than reading about them. Jill speaks to this in the introduction, stating “The chapters are short, so that you may spend less time reading and more time doing. It is only when you are experiencing that you feel the flow of energy.” I found this book to be a refreshing introduction and overview of the theory and practice of tuning one’s personal energy. If you fancy yourself a beginner in these areas, this book would serve as a wonderful first step into understanding this topic. I’d also recommend this book to anyone wanting to introduce these concepts to young adults in an easy, non-threatening yet insightful way. Overall, Jill Henry has done us all a great service by providing this guidebook. I hope you find it as valuable as I have!”

Called Required Reading by the Pensacola News Journal (8.7.04)

This book bills itself as a how-to book for explorers of the metaphysical world. It is. Curious about Chakras? Feng Shui? Yoga? The author guides readers through various metaphysical methods, and often just common sense strategies like slow, measured breathing to reduce stress and elevate energy. The book is more textbook, and less New Age-y in the way it lays out possible paths to physical health, prosperity and happiness” Sonja Lewis.

Seldom does one find a book that is all at once as legible, helpful and delightful as Energy Source Book in which the author, Jill Henry, invites you to start anyplace you are led; in this book that feels comfortable to hold. I invite you to try it out. Just open to any page and start reading. When I tried this I opened to Page 105 and read about a holy man, a worker of miracles, who wears a vlay marking on his forehead. Shortly after reading this a friend called who had just returned from Mass at the Catholic Church where she received a marking of ashes on her forehead in the Ash Wednesday service. What a synchronistic beginning to exploring this fascinating book. I am looking forward to the next treasure waiting.
Every blessing to you, Jill, Rose-Mary Hatfield, Co-minister at Estatoah Wayfarer’s Chapel and Unity Center in Dillard, Ga.
