All Women Are Healers: A Comprehensive Guide to Natural Healing

Rating:
Summary: I do love her view on the Nature of women
Review: But I have to agree she is a bit overboard when she speaks of men. But I do love the way she speaks of the past times when in order to birth, you simply asked a friend with children to be your midwife. I do believe that people could benifit from that kind of knowlege now. But overall she is rather hostile, taking feminism to a whole new level, I believe she has some unresolved men issues.

Summary: Excellent, well-rounded resource
Review: I've have had and used this book for the past 10 years (since publication). It is the first book that I reach for when looking up a problem or a remedy. This book is a necessary resource in any woman's healing library, no matter how extensive your library may be.

Summary: Healing is not the sole providence of the white and wealthy
Review: In the New Age world which caters to the upper classes, Ms. Stein's work stands out as one which does not. Rather, she validates the individual's exploration and practice of the healing arts. In her chapter entitled, "The Ancient Art of Reiki and Laying on of Hands", Diane Stein writes, "The information is not exclusive to the Christian God, to the Reiki Master, or to the woman who has $150-10,000-it is there for the taking by anyone who wants to learn it." There for the taking. That was what I was seeking when I came across this book. Certification, licensure, and regulation may feed pockets, but healing falls under no human's jurisdiction and Ms. Stein makes her point, and encourages us to heal.

Summary: Healing is not the sole providence of the white and wealthy
Review: Ms. Stein needs to overcome her bias towards men. This bias is found in many if not all of her books. So you would have to read this book and make an effort to ignore her ego-attitude towards male human beings.

For those who want to tap in their mystical powers for service to others(Love) and not for themselves(Ego) check out The Lightworkers Way by Doreen Virtue. I and a friend of mine both agree that her teachings, intentions and techniques are purer and guard against the voice of our egos or lesser-selves.
