This text looks at mind-body medicine and the effect which the natural "energy forces" within the body play in the maintenance of normal health and wellbeing; and at how these energies or forces may be channelled to assist in healing and restoration to health. It brings together evidence from a wide range of disciplines to offer an explanation for the energetic exchanges that take place in all therapies.
