laffingkat's review against another edition
4.0
In this book, Amy Scher discusses her theory of how unresolved emotions and limiting beliefs cause anxiety and provides energy healing techniques to clear those emotions and beliefs. The techniques described in this book are apparently very similar to what she described in her previous book (which I have not read), but this book is focused specifically on anxiety. It offers many examples and tapping scripts to help you understand how to apply these techniques to healing anxiety.
Much of her work is derivative of other healers’ work (she cites Donna Eden but doesn’t mention many other sources), but every healer has a slightly different approach, and perhaps Ms. Scher’s presentation will be just what you need to heal your anxiety. The book is written in a very friendly, encouraging tone (although all of the exclamations made me think of a cheerleader who has had too much coffee). I found the text a little too conversational, but that’s a matter of personal preference.
I am not a fan of kinesiology (muscle testing), which is used quite extensively in this approach (although alternatives are provided). I do like the author’s 5-step healing approach, and I think some of her suggested techniques can be helpful for anxiety. If you are curious about energy healing, this book provides a good introduction to the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and similar techniques the author claims she developed herself. I liked the descriptions of the tapping points with associated meridians and emotional associations, and I appreciated the sample tapping scripts provided.
I’m a big advocate of self-healing. If you suffer from anxiety and don’t already have good methods of self-healing, this is worth trying. Be aware that you will probably need to make a commitment to do the exercises daily to see a significant improvement. I would give this 3.5 stars if I could, but I can’t, so I am rounding up to 4 stars.
I was provided an unproofed ARC through NetGalley that I volunteered to review. Because I have not seen the final published version, I cannot comment on the final editing and formatting. The ARC had so many editing and formatting problems that it was very difficult to read, but hopefully those errors have been resolved in the published version.
