Hands of Light

Barbara Ann Brennan

A lucidly written and profound book; a modern classic of spirituality, one of the core texts for alternative healing, with more than 250,000 copies in Bantam print.  Presents an in-depth study of the Human Energy Field, the chakras, and the subtle bodies, as well as looking at the psychic dynamics of personality types.  When I read this book it was an absolute revelation - I had never read a modern New Age or esoteric book like this.  All I can say is that if you are going to read one book of contemporary spirituality and esotericism - make sure it it is this one!

Note: Barbara Brennan has since written another book, Light Emerging.  Although containing some interesting new material it is no-where near the standard of Hands of Light, in my opinion.
