Summary: Spellbinding and Brilliant Insights Into Energy Healing!
Review: As a serious alternative healer, myself, I approach books on the subject with some cynicism, concerned about writers who might take advantage of the public's desire for magical answers. Unlike other authors who only pretend a mastery of such subjects as energy medicine, however, Julie Motz is the real thing! With a stunning blend of candor, brilliance, surprising theory and examples of her technique that are both breath-taking and clearly applicable to our lives, Julie Motz provides important, even life-saving, original answers to healing issues . I wanted to underline the whole book, it was so full of insight and inspiration. Read this and find out what the medical profession has yet to learn: that we are mind/bodies that respond to energy medicine in ultimate, transformative ways.

Summary: This book is overrated, poorly researched &deeply irritating
Review: I bought this book because of the 5 stars given by all readers then. What I had was a rather ittitating experience. While the book itself has some useful and solid ideas, mainly in holistic healing which I happen to believe in also, the author in many ways stretched it a bit too far the boundary of credibility. She described her "communications" with sick organs in such a way as if it is a verifiable and widely acceptable truth sustainable by scientific, thus controlled, research and experiment. I found this deeply annoying.I tried hard to reserve my judgement until at one point I could no longer stand to blurt out what I think of her and her book when I read her "experience" and "knowledge" of prenatal regression on page 264. It says, ".....When I did this exercise, I found that I had to move a couple of times along the wall of my mother's uterus before I could find a place where I could really sink in. It later occured to me that my habit of changing tables at a restaurant and frequently feeling that whatever I am seated is not quite the right place for my comfort might be related to this." I was so annoyed by this that I made two lines on the side of the statement and write big NONSENSE! I mean, how could she really know for sure that that was what really happened when she was in her mum's uterus! And to relate it to her habit of changing tables in restaurants? Gosh, it's so hilarious! Give me a break, Julie! I'm a New Age freak myself, but she is just so incredible. Many of her accounts also were no more than half-baked, unfinished observation/research from unfinished work with her patients which don't contribute anything other than acting as a filler for the book. I give one example which I have to give a big NONSENSE! on the side of the sentence also. This is about (unfinished) working with an ADD boy. She was telling the boy to feel himself in her mother's womb, the sort of meditative ritual she did with her patients on her insistent belief that every illness can actually be traced back to prenatal trauma. She said to the boy, "....I want you to feel that connection, those millions of connections, all over your body, being made. Now that connections are made, I want you to make the first movement you feel impelled to make--your first brain-directed movement." Then she wrote, "Charlie's left foot shoot out, then draw back again as a bolt of fear ran through his body. I immediately got it that it was his fear of hurting his mother --his sense that his focused action was a threat to her and something from which he must protect her. "Charlie, did you notice the fear that went through your body when you moved your foot?" I asked. He nodded without opening his eyes. "I think this is the key to your ADD," I said." How handy. And of course there was little follow-up to this "therapy" session due to his mother's reluctance to work together with her son under Motz's supervision. She mentioned though that the boy had not gone back to taking Ritalin after the first session and felt fine, but I wonder if it had anything to do with that prenatal "regression". There are abundant of such incredible accounts in her book. And in every account she could more or less decide in absolute certainty in which month of pregnancy, and what kind of trauma that resulted the patient's current illness. And throughout she gives the impression that this thing is common knowldege, nothing so esoteric about it so she could non-challantly say it and get away with it. I'm reading "Awakening Intuition" by Mona Lisa Schulz, also a medical intuitive, apart from that she is a "real" MD. She also purports a similar notion that organs get sick because they hold emotional trauma. She, like Motz, could also read into people's personal history. However, I find her book so far enjoyable and, not less importantly, not annoying. I don't recommend Julie Motz's book for those serious of medical intuition's research, for some insights, perhaps this book won't do much harm. Try "Awakening Intuition". It is much better written.

Summary: Eye opening and thought provoking
Review: I first read this book in my first year of medical school. Julie Motz's description of the medical practices were eye opening and made me want to be more than just a regular doctor. Most helpful to me were the ideas of emotionally based disease. Unlike some who dismiss this idea out of hand, I have actually seen progress in ill patients when the emotional aspect of it is addressed.
I would recomend this book to medical students, doctors and others who are interested in healing. It is not a "how-to" book, but is does cause one to think.

Summary: Excellent, helpful and VERY worth the read!
Review: I greatly enjoyed Julie Motz's wonderful book which describes her ongoing work and development as a subtle energy healer. She is a gifted medical intuitive who has conducted her healings during actual surgeries. Getting herself in the door was no small feat given the general skepticism of the established medical community to "alternative" medicine! I highly recommend this book to all those interested in energy work and healing. Also, I initially didn't buy this book because of the lengthy, contemptuous review of another reader. I only bought it after a personal friend read it and convinced me it was worth reading. The criticisms in this negative review seem to me to be unfounded. Ms. Motz is speaking her truth about the healing work she does. She clearly references both existing research that may support her experiences, and also notes the need for more study to explore what she and other intuitive healers are experiencing. The patients she works with often corroborate her intuitions, and have improved outcomes from whatever other treatment (usually surgery) they are undergoing. The contempt of this other reviewer seems undeserved and, I believe, says more about the reviewer than about Ms. Motz or the book.

Summary: Interesting and a good read
Review: In general, I found this book thought-provoking and a pleasure to read. Motz is candid, and I think she makes it perfectly clear that what she does is based on intuition, not some scientifically proven model of mind-body interaction. The point is that, a lot of the time, it WORKS, and it works well enough to convince some pretty hard-nosed physicians that "energy medicine" is a valuable adjunct to the healing process. The book is much more autobiographical and less "how to" than the title implies (this is true of a number of other books on intuitive healing, e.g., Mona Lisa Schulz's), but it's quite likely that the author didn't choose the title!
Perhaps the most controversial part is Motz's theories about prenatal memories -- but I don't think we should dismiss them out of hand. After all, we spend the first 9 months of our lives taking in all our sustenance through the umbilical cord, absorbing whatever hormones et al. are in our mother's bloodstream, so it's likely that the old folk wisdom is true and we really ARE influenced by the way she's feeling about the pregnancy.
What I found most impressive about Motz's insights is that they confirmed something I've long felt: even if our brains are anaesthetized, our bodies remember what happens to them during surgery. I recently had a colonoscopy, was "out" the whole time, and felt no pain when I awoke -- but I had an overwhelming sense of having been violated. I think most people who have surgery experience something similar. But, because our bodies are viewed by most doctors as merely mechanical objects (and, from what I observed before I went under, this was certainly true of the team who did my procedure), our emotional reactions are considered "silly" and we try to ignore them. By contrast, Motz's attitude towards the body is one of reverence and respect. I think that's an important factor in her success as a healer, and many -- perhaps most -- doctors should take a lesson from her.

Summary: I find it overrated too
Review: Like Ken Wilber, It is not that I am arguing of what actually happened when a psychic/energy healer does her job or the efficacy of her treatment but somehow her outrageous theory of what happened is ofputting. People have different level of intelligence, scepticism and standard of acceptance of what constitutes a good book, and I agree with the other negative viewer that her book is below the standard. If you consider valid criticism of weak and speculative science as illness, psychosis or moral defects as the viewer below seems to believe then you perhaps have a problem yourself. It's either you are not as smart, feeble minded, superstitious or simply don't believe in pluralism of thoughts and taste.

Summary: A fascinating discovery of the nature of disease
Review: This book is a road map to understanding how from as early as being in the womb, one can better gain insight into the health of their body. Julie Motz lays out her incredible journey from the operating room of heart patients to brain cancer patients to breast cancer patients. Her gift to see into the body and feel the emotions and feelings of the people she is with is very powerful. She will leave you wanting to explore all your unexpressed anger and look deeper into your life to better understand who you really are. This book is a must read for anyone who remotely believes in alternative healings.

Summary: the book I've been looking for
Review: What a joy to read! Insights into the mother/daughter relationships. But, where can we meet this woman? How can we have access to learning more and being taught and anger groups? How do we find others of like interest? This should be a required reading for motherhood 101. Way to go Julie!!!!! Thanks for having the courage to write and taking the time.
