Praise for Subtle Energy Work
“If you’ve always known that there’s more to you than you learned in
Biology 101 but find yourself intimidated by the technical language of
science, this is the beautiful book you’ve been waiting for!”
—Gregg Braden, New York Times bestselling author of
The Divine Matrix
“In this book, Synthia has written a masterpiece. If you have ever
wanted to empower yourself and be able to uplift others, this book is
for you.”
—Dannion Brinkley, bestselling author of Secrets of the Light
“Of all the energy healers, practitioners, teachers, and speakers I’ve
met, read, and interviewed over the years, there is one name that con-
sistently stands at the top of my list—Dr. Synthia Andrews. Her books,
work, and courses are veritable goldmines of practical information,
principles, tools, and exercises to help us cultivate our energy aware-
ness and live a more empowered and connected life . . . which is more
critical than ever in this most challenging of times. To say that I am an
unabashed fan of Subtle Energy Work is an understatement; I’ve rec-
ommended it more times than I can count. Indeed, the only thing that
could top it, in my opinion, is this new expanded and updated version
that you’re holding in your hands.”
—Sandie Sedgbeer, host of What Is Going Om radio show and
podcast, and founder of the No BS Spiritual Book Club
