positive energy: 10 extraordinary prescriptions for transforming fatigue, stress, and fear into vibrance, strength & love
by Dr. Judith Orloff
I hardly dared hope for such a breakthrough as this book. Dr. Judith Orloff, a psychiatrist, is pioneering the integration of intuition with psychiatry. The day has dawned when even doctors will use intuition for diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, Dr. Judith Orloff gives us these 10 Extraordinary Prescriptions for problems of energy, heart, and soul.
Dr. Judith Orloff teaches psychiatry at UCLA, maintains a private practice, lectures, and conducts seminars all over the country. She is also the author of Dr. Judith Orloff's Guide to Intuitive Healing and Second Sight.
In Positive Energy: 10 Extraordinary Prescriptions for Transforming Fatigue, Stress, and Fear into Vibrance, Strength, and Love, Dr. Orloff offers us specific, practical prescriptions to enable us to:
- Protect ourselves from energy vampires
- Design an energy-aware approach to diet, fitness and health (including how to stop energy-defensive eating)
- Develop a heart-centered sexuality
- Awaken intuition and rejuvenate ourselves
- Find a nurturing spiritual path
- Generate positive energy to counter negativity
- Open to the flow of inspiration and creativity
- Celebrate the sacredness of laughter, pampering, and replenishment of retreat
- Attract positive people and situations
- Create abundance
The energetic approach of this book is what makes it so practical. Dr. Judith Orloff posits intuition as a normal part of life for everyone. With this in place, and working from a viewpoint of energy, problems become clear. The Prescriptions are easy to follow. This book can teach us to respect what energizes us and to avoid what drains us. It sounds so simple, but stop and think. Dr. Judith Orloff points out that we know what we want to eat for its taste, and asks whether we have noticed what it does for our energy level? No wonder we're tired - we've been eating delicious but tiring food! How simple it is to switch to delicious and energizing food.
The same applies to people - we link up with energy vampires people who drain our energy. Dr. Judith Orloff explains in detail how to get away from these energy vampires in almost any situation.
The word Prescriptions in the title is apt. I should point out that they prescribe things to do, not chemicals to swallow. These are very specific, practical, and easy things to implement in our lives. The difference they make could be tremendous.
The writing is up-beat and friendly. Each chapter varies its pace with a Prescription and an interview with people such as Quincy Jones, Amy Gross, Naomi Judd, Iyanla Vanzant, Eve Ensler, Shirley MacLaine, Wavy Gravy, Larry King, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Rosa Parks.
Positive Energy: 10 Extraordinary Prescriptions for Transforming Fatigue, Stress, and Fear into Vibrance, Strength, and Love offers practical improvements for life today. It also holds hope for the future - not only for each of us personally, but also for intuitively attuned energy in medicine and in every aspect of life.
