Preview Emotion and Healing in the Energy Body: A Handbook of Subtle Energies in Massage and Yoga
I dedicate this book to my spiritual family: Mary Kavanagh, my mother, Brian Henderson, my father, and John G. Kavanagh, my grandfather. And to my grandmother, Anna O’Keeffe, who in spirit oversaw everything. Emotion and Healing in the Energy Body “What lays between your ‘true’ and ‘current’ self? Based on Robert Henderson’s thorough, enriching, and illuminating explanations of subtle energy and healing, I would say, ‘Your place of power.’ Henderson’s brilliant book outlines the means for detecting the blocked energies in your life and body and ways to clear them using energetic, yogic, and massage processes. Henderson’s comprehensive understanding of the sources of our obvious problems, from karma to emotions to mental misunderstandings, will enable us all to powerfully transform others and ourselves.” CYNDI DALE, AUTHOR OF THE SUBTLE BODY, NEW CHAKRA HEALING, ENERGETIC BOUNDARIES, AND THE INTUITION GUIDEBOOK “With more than 15 years of experience teaching and practicing Thai massage, Robert’s book enriches the culture of massage and yoga. In clear and simple language he provides a doorway to understanding the role of energy in healing. I highly recommend this book for those who want to explore beyond the physical.” KAM THYE CHOW, FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR OF THE LOTUS PALM SCHOOL AND AUTHOR OF THAI YOGA MASSAGE AND THAI YOGA THERAPY FOR YOUR BODY TYPE Contents Cover Image Title Page Dedication Epigraph Acknowledgments PART ONE: Introduction to Subtle Energy and the Chakras Chapter 1: Understanding Subtle Energy My First Experience of Subtle Energy Exploring Subtle Energy with a Partner Other Ways of Detecting Subtle Energy Energy Blockages Energy Blocks Chapter 2: Energy Balancing in the Chakras and Meridians Anatomy of a Chakra The Pairings of the Chakras The Seven Major Chakras Chakra Imbalances Opening and Balancing a Chakra Balancing All the Chakras Balancing the Energy of a Meridian Balancing Yin and Yang PART TWO: Types of Subtle Energy and Their Release through Yoga and Massage Chapter 3: Emotional Energy Eight Emotional Energies Shock The Healing Energy of Love The Cycle of Emotional Release in Yoga and Massage The Three Levels of Understanding Emotional Release and the Five Koshas Letting Go and Finding Balance Chapter 4: Sexual and Karmic Energies Sexual Energy The Natural Characteristics and Uses of Sexual Energy Ancestral Patterns in Sexual Energy Sexual Energy and Karmic Energy Karmic Energy How Sexual Energy Gets Hurt Sexual Energy as Healing Energy Hidden Forms of Hurt to Women’s Sexual Energy The Physiological Locations of Hurt Sexual Energy A Body Map of Sexual Energy Chapter 5: Spiritual Energy Awakening Spiritual Energy What Spiritual Energy Feels Like Spiritual Orgies The Myth of Achieving Enlightenment through Sex The Relationship between Sexual Energy and Spiritual Energy Chapter 6: Interpersonal, Ancestral, and Environmental Energies Interpersonal Connections Energetic Connections in Intimate Relationships Breaking Free from a Pattern of Hurtful Relationships Familial Connections Aligning with the Energy of a Yoga or Massage System or Teacher The Energy of Cults Spells, Hexes, and Curses PART THREE: Healing Emotional Blockages Chapter 7: Reading the Colors of Energy Red Orange Yellow Green Sky Blue Indigo Purple Black White Gray Brown Three-Color Energy Blockage Combinations Chapter 8: Releasing Blockages in the Body 1.
