Mind to Mind by Betty Shine

Now that I have decided that I have healing abilities, I decided to re-read my old books on the subject. I went through my bookshelves and found an appalling lack of interest signified by only a handful of authors who specify themselves as being healers and a few of those had not even made it unto the 'My Bookshelf' listing on my website.

However, 'Mind To Mind' by Betty Shine (click on photo for link to Amazon.co.uk), is an easy read and I got so much more from reading it a second time, I decided to do my first website book review.

Betty Shine is an internationally renowned Healer/Medium, which is very clear once you start to read the book. It details how she got started and major events in her life with her philosophy and belief in 'mind energy'. If you are in any way scared of things that go bump in the night then there are a few details that might put you off this book, but if you are in anyway curious then this book is a fascinating read. Her accounts of being inundated with spirits who wanted to work with her is interesting especially if you are a Christian. The words in the Bible 'we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses' have always intrigued me. I was particularly interested in the discussion of the human energy anatomy, at times it read like a Barbara Brennan book. The following topics are mentioned:

• chakras
• auras
• energy meridians (lines of acupuncture)
• power of positive thought
• the effect of negative attitude on health
• kirlian photography
• prayer
• clairvoyant diagnosis (finding medical problems very early on)
• psychic surgery
• healing by colours
• hypnosis
• distance healing and absent healing
• telepathy with animals
