Summary: Chip Brown's excellent adventure into the world of ........
Review: .....energy healing and healers. This is a fun, informative, and personal story of Mr. Brown, who went from skeptical and objective journalist, to avid client and participant in the subtle energy healing arts. Mr. Brown chronicles his experiences and relationships with several prominent and not so prominent practitioners. He also delves into the history of mental and bio-energetic practices and practitioners, and includes Mesmer, Reich, and others.Brown works out in print the cognitive dissonace between his skeptical and rational evaluations, and his personal empirical results and experiences which contradicted them. I found his ongoing inner commentaries and point-counterpoint debates entertaining and hilarious at times. This is a great first hand exploration of the worlds of chakra healers, astral spiders, extraterrestrial skull implants, and dozens of other unconventional, new age, and esoteric healing beliefs and practices. There is something here for both believers and skeptics of this universe next door.

Summary: Best Book Ever on Metaphysics
Review: Finally! An intelligent, thoughtful book on energetic healing and new age philosophy that doesn't sound like it was written by a 10-year-old. Well-researched, insightful, and awe-inspiring. A must-read for skeptics and non-skeptics alike...and especially recommended for those of you intellectuals who believe but feel guilty about it. This book will enlighten you. :-)

Summary: Afterwards, I want to hear more
Review: I approached Chip Brown's book with a healthy load of skepticism astride my shoulders (which is probably why I visit a chiropractor every week!). Having submitted my body to various alternative healing procedures over the past two years, homeopathy, polarity, muscle testing, and accupressure were not unknown techniques. Having been raised in a family where scientific proofs were valued by otherwise open-minded parents, I had been vacillating between belief and disbelief for years. The manner in which Mr. Brown presents his journey into 'the metaphysics of healing' makes for tedious reading at times but also contains passages that flow into the readers consciousness like a tide of enlightenment. Add to this Mr. Brown's hilariously dry wit (which puntuates most of the book) and you have what is basically an exploration by an everyman/writer into a mystery he only half comprehends. When I finally turned the last page I was dismayed that there wasn't more to read as so many questions had been left unanswered. In the final analysis, it has only complicated my own journey of exploration.

Summary: very informative but...
Review: I really enjoyed chip brown's new book,and I can thoroughly recomend it to anyone who is just a teensy weensy bit sceptical about many aspects of the the health and healing industries. If anyone would like to know the real cause of most common illnesses,have a quick look at my home page;www.geocities.com/broadway/orchestra/3086
