REVIEWS

“Following on from John’s previous publications, the style is most recognisable as John’s straight talking – “this is how it is and this is what I have found works”. We all need to be patient for science and relevant research studies to catch up with him!. The book beautifully illustrates many different ‘energy systems: however, the real edge of this book lies in the interconnections between the different systems and how this impacts on clinical relevance in a truly holistic sense of body-mind-spirit. Rather than copious philosophy, this is a how-to-do manual using very specific acupuncture points. As in all John’s work, sensitive light touch with awareness is the key to therapy rather than needling rechniques based on rigid formulae.” ………..Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Energy Medicine (ACPEM) Journal November 2008.

‘As practitioners, we are always searching for or interested in learning about different techniques and modalities to help our patients achieve relief from disharmony. John Cross has led the way with his previous publications in showing us how to utilise the subtle energies. In his latest book, he has gone a step further to show how combining Chakra therapy with acupuncture can accelerate the healing, and treat the root cause of the imbalance or disease. He goes on to show how practitioners from different acupuncture backgrounds can integrate the chakra therapy with their treatment modalities. There are colour coded charts that illustrate the various associations and links. John has spent many years perfecting these techniques clinically, and now that he has published all of his hard work on the chakra energy system, we can all use it to help our patients. This book is full of interesting concepts that, given a little time and patience, may extend your practice, but it is not for the beginner or those with a very Western medical approach.’ .Journal of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP) – Spring 2009
