Light Emerging: The Journey of Personal Healing

In my opinion, this book is most suited to the "healers". I am only part-way through it right now, but thoroughly agree with what I have read so far because I have either experienced it or it makes logical sense from where I am on my personal journey. The book is slow reading, not difficult, but slow if you really want to understand what Barbara has written as she combines science with metaphysical beliefs. I cannot compare this book to her first book because, although I purchased her first book years ago, I honestly have not read it yet. "Light Emerging" was recommended by my master teacher. Barbara has spent significant time studying the auric fields of people vs. behavior. I plan to return to this review at a later time and update it with additional information, but I see it as a valuable resource for a healer (for both healing self and healing others). By the way, if you don't know it already, healing is not limited to the physical body. There is emotional healing and spiritual healing as well. ALL are important. The healthiest people are those who are balanced on all levels. This 342-page book explains a lot about energy, both scientifically and metaphysically. If you have already done significant reading, this book expands on a lot of it, such as explaining the chakras and the movement of energy throughout the system. As Barbara goes through each chakra, she explains how you likely behave if that chakra is fully functioning or if it is blocked. Quite a few illustrations within the book visually show you the energy movements within people who exhibit certain types of behavior, and the movements of energy within groups of 2 people exchanging energies at certain levels. This is one way in which this book is different from many other chakra and energy vibrational books. An example is an illustration of a couple in dispute and how they energetically resolved the dispute. Barbara has the developed ability to see the auric fields, as some do, and she supplements her writing with experiences she has had with clients. In this instance, she explains the energy movement in 3 stages of the therapy between the couple, as well as illustrates it in picture form, so you can follow what is happening energetically between the couple throughout the process. Here is a little tid-bit for you from the book: Barbara mentions that Dr. Robert Beck, a nuclear physicist, found that all healers exhibit the brain-wave patterns of 7.8 - 8 Hz while they are giving healings, the same fluctuation of the earth's magnetic energy field (the Schumann waves). The assumption is that the healers are synching up with the earth's magnetic field when doing healing. Dr. John Zimmerman, founder and president of Bio-Electro-Magnetics Institute, found through additional research, that once healers have linked with the Schumann waves, the right and left hemispheres of their brain have become balanced with each other and show a 7.8 - 8 Hz alpha rhythm. After they link with the patient for some time through laying on of hands, they are able to link the client in with the same earth's energy magnetic pulsations. Good book. If you are into metaphysical energy and healing, I think you will enjoy it and find it very informative. If you are NOT into metaphysical energy and healing, you will likely not understand it and may get nothing from it, especially if you are not open to this area of study.

We are all divine light and this book gives you the tools to access your own healing response to live your life in light and love.

Hands of Light has been widely recognized as the foundational text merging the Eastern approach to healing through cleansing and balancing a person's chakras and auras with the Western approach to healing through re-tuning a person's electromagnetic frequencies by applying the principles of quantum physics. Barbara's sequel, Light Emerging, further amplifies and extends these concepts. Specifically, she elaborates on the applications of the Holographic Model, the Creative Process and the mechanisms of Spiritual Guidance. She defines and diagrams the four dimensions of humanity at the Physical, Auric, Harac and Core Star levels. Through these four dimensions, average humans, once healed and balanced, can mature to be channels of energy, connecting heaven to earth vertically, and connecting all of humanity horizontally. The whole of Barbara's teaching can be incorporated into these four simple, clear and deeply profound diagrams. Since her previous book, Barbara set aside her private practice to establish a four-year university-level program to train and accredit healing practitioners to apply these disciplines. This book incorporates the further insights and experiences she gained through developing her School. Light Emerging is written specifically to instruct readers on how to self-heal and to give readers a preview on the commitment required to becoming a healing practitioner. This book is not intended to replace her School's four-year degree in healing. Appendix C offers links to current lists of her practicing graduates, by city and state. There is no duplication between her books. I personally benefited by reading and studying them side by side. I have also called a number of her graduates here in California and confirm they have both the meticulous training and proper motives to follow in Barbara Ann Brennon's footsteps. No fiction here. This book exemplifies the theory and practice of genuine physical, psychological and spiritual healing, either through self-study or through a practitioner.

I love Barbara Brennan's first book Hands of Light, which I read waaaaay back when it first came out! Could not put it down and it was the one that got me started on spiritual path and exploring healing practices such as Reiki, Jin Shin Jyutsu, IET and all the other energy healing modalities. Now I am reading Light Emerging and as her first book is, it's so informative. This one is focusing on personal healing, healer and patient interaction, relationships and energy interaction and how to create positive patterns, and more. I would love to go to the Barbara Brennan School of Healing one day but in the meantime these books will carry me through to learning about healing and express myself in a more loving & nurturing way for myself and for others. This book & her first book are a must for anyone interested in exploring these types of therapy and discovering their own built-in ability to heal with energy. Enjoy!

Excellent article!

Great book

The best!!!! To know her and do Barbaras’s course is now a purpose of mine!!! Her book is a gift to everyone interested in having good healthy!! Spiritually and physically!!!

Another incredible epic journey of numinous learning that captures, after HOL, a greater understanding of the Human Energy Consciousness System (HECS) expanding into the deeper dimensions of Core Essence and Haric Intentionality. Barbara also lays bare the three major types of field interactions: of harmonic entrainment, bioplasmic streamers and chakra cords released into the wild by her highly gifted sensory (x-ray) perception which makes for one exquisite reading! And as if life wasn’t complicated enough (!) she mentions five major types of cord: soul cords from a God connection (angels and guides); cords from past life experiences; genetic cords to parents; relational cords with parents and relational cords with other human beings. Therefore, invisible entanglements into each others’ energy fields are a norm of human experience that Brennan Healing Science brings out into the open with such a forensic level of energetic enquiry that to mark her out as an extraordinary visionary would be an understatement - such is the wealth of energetic phenomena she has been able to elicit for humanity. A primary psychotherapeutic window into these observations is borrowed from Bioenergetics (orig. Reich who trained with Freud): “we think the only possible way to stop the pain is to stop the energy flow that contains it by walling off our wounds to deeper experience as ‘frozen psychic time blocks’, i.e. conglomerates of energy-consciousness without the maturation process.” For example, someone with an Oedipal temperament, might negatively assume “if i love, i will be abandoned” which acts as an unconsciously held belief or an ‘image conclusion’. It might be easier to conclude from this statement that there is the same degree of validation for Bioenergetics as a theory (and hence Freud) as there is for her mapping of the HECS, since both are presented with the same inevitability of symbiotic fit. However, it would be interesting to note how a different psychological or psychotherapeutic area of investigation might have influenced her interpretative analyses instead. I mention this point simply to draw a distinction between medical intuition and the application of a model, since for instance, in stating that “by not allowing someone with the oedipal temperament (abandonment fear) to cord suck energy in habitual ways by not standing directly in front of them” the statement rather makes the assumption that cord sucking is Oedipal. What sets apart Light Emerging from HOL is the newest exploration of personal patterns of wholeness, not just in honouring the balancing system of the human psyche, which is “the deeper place within that remembers who we are, what we need, and how we heal ourselves”; but in the discovery of the Core Star (Creative Essence) dimension: “a quantum leap deeper into who we are than the Haric level and is related to our divinity.” It is from this place that issues the truest potential within us to upwell our creative energies as they pass through the Haric, Auric and physical dimensions so as to make manifest the “Dark Velvet Void” (Zero Point Field). Barbara’s teaching couldn’t be made much clearer (her imagined words would be): “have I not shown you the way towards harnessing your healing light, now let me also show you how you can harness your unique destiny?”

I found this book very interesting and in depth. I have always wanted Barbara Brennans book Hands of Light and when I was ordering it I saw this newer version so I ordered both.
