Despite the compelling title of this book, I got very little practical knowledge out of this book which I quickly returned.
Here is an example of the book that I found to be a turn-off:
Essential Energy Balancing offers ways to release pain by contacting helpful spirit guardians - the Lords of Karma.
I appreciate a spiritual approach to psychology and holistic methodologies but this book has a very narrow religious focus and did not offer any accessible knowledge or advice. From Amazon.com
Essential Energy Balancing was not the first book I had read by Diane Stein; it was the last in all the books she has written so far. I had learned everything I really needed and wanted to know from others about Reiki from her ESSENTIAL REIKI. The rest had to be learned as part of my personal journey with the energies. I had already started working daily with the " Angels of Karma" for healing my life after reading WE ARE THE ANGELS and giving it to many close friends. I didn't know what else she could have to offer when I ordered ESSENTIAL ENERGY BALANCING that she had not already given so clearly and generously in her other books, but what a surprise I had waiting. True, the first section of EEB is about healing your past and present "karma," wounds, etc, and clearing at least 50% of your personal garbage and dysfuntion, much like the book WE ARE THE ANGELS. However, for me, the main thrust of the book , besides these tools and information to clear personal pain and dysfunction, is the ten step process that follows. I completed this process quickly the first time I went through the book because I was so excited about it. Then I went back to it a year later and did it again slowly, and still continue the daily practice. What the ten step process and daily practice have offered me is the information and empowerment and personal spiritual connection to continue to heal much of my pain and dysfunction, beyond what I was aware of to ask in the first part of the clearing. The processes have allowed me to begin and continue to connect with all that I am mentally, emotionally, spiritually, things that continue to delight and surpise me. In this ongoing process, there is a larger connection with universal energies as well. I am sure the book and process will speak to each person (or not) in an individual way and that each person will have his own journey and experience with the processes and ideas in the book. I have even had a different level of experience and benefit from a second journey with the processes....and I think therein lies the value of the book for those who respond to its ideas. All I can say is that I have been on many healing journeys and that the information and tools offered in this book spoke to me and led me on a journey of healing and empowerment that continues and shows no sign of ending. As always, Diane Stein's greatest gift is that she shares all the information and tools others need and then puts those tools with complete trust into the hands of the reader. She does so in a straightforward, simple, and practical way that EMPOWERS others, rather than making them dependent, and sends them forward to become centered in their own beauty and growth.
