Books about Emotional Healing:

The Emotion Code by Dr. Bradley Nelson

An excellent book with information on what trapped emotions are and how trapped emotions affect our everyday lives. This book offers a very simple yet powerful method of releasing trapped emotions. It also gives very clear instructions on different ways to muscle test. I highly recommend this book.




Remembering Wholeness: A Personal Handbook for Thriving in the 21st Century by Carol Tuttle

Carol Tuttle's newest book is on the cutting edge of transformational energy healing. A spiritual uplift for anyone ready to release their limiting patterns and beliefs and start creating miracles in their life.

This really and truly is a wonderful book. It teaches how to take charge of your own life and manifest that which you really want. This book is very much about the Law of Attraction in our lives. This book is one of the first ones I recommend for those who are new to the idea of our thoughts bringing into our lives that which we are experiencing and that changing our thoughts changes our experiences.


Feelings Buried Alive Never Die by Karol Truman

A beautifully written book about feelings; where feelings begin, how they impact our lives, what happens when buried feelings are not dealt with, etc. Karol includes a section listing illnesses and the probable feelings causing them and best of all she provides a tool for dealing with these buried feelings. The tool is referred to as “The Script”. This one is a must read.




You Can Heal Your Life by Louise L. Hay

When it comes to linking the emotions with physical illnesses Louise Hay’s work is the foundation that is built upon. This recommended book is also a must read for understanding the connection between emotions and the physical body. Louise is a very positive person and her book is a delight to read. She includes a listing of physical problems, their probable emotional causes, and new thought patterns to change one’s thoughts to.

The book Heal Your Body by Louise Hay contains just the section which lists the problems, causes and new thought patterns. It is a convenient book for quickly looking up probable causes.


Permanent Healing [includes quantum mechanics of healing] by Daniel R Condron

Another resource for connecting the emotional with the physical. This author gives the physical disorder, mental attitude disorder and suggestions for improvement for each issue.





Messages from the Body: Their Psychological Meaning (The Body's Desk Reference)

A very comprehensive book connecting very specific physical issues with emotional connections. This one has by far the most detailed connections of all the books. For a condensed version with only the disease section see Healer's Handbook Condensed Version of Messages from the Body I suggest comparing prices with TalkingHearts.net.






Healer's Handbook Condensed Version of Messages from the Body

A condensed version of "Messages From the Body" containing just the disease section. Compare prices with TalkingHearts.net.

Books about EFT:

The Promise of Energy Psychology: Revolutionary Tools for Dramatic Personal Change by Donna Eden, David Feinstein and Gary Craig

The first half of this book is all about EFT. A good share of the information and stories are available through the emofree site, but this book pulls it all together in a very understandable way. The second half contains many of Donna Eden’s energy balancing exercises from her Energy Medicine book. An all-around good book for covering EFT and energy medicine together.




Attracting Abundance with EFT by Dr. Carol Look

A fabulous all-around EFT book which spells it all out
for you; how to do it and what to say. All you have to
do is add the actions and the consistency of use and you are well on your way to making changes.

Books about Essential Oils:

Essential Oils Desk Reference

An awesome resource for anyone using Young Living essential oils. This is the standard reference most go by. If you would like a similar book that is not specific to Young Living's oils then the Essential Oils Integrative Medical Guide is an excellent resource.





Healing Oils Of The Bible by David Stewart, Ph. D.

This book is a personal favorite of mine. David Stewart, founder of C.A.R.E. (Center for Aromatherapy Research and Education), has put forth answers to questions such as:

What are essential oils and what makes them special?
How and why oils can heal.
What are the healing properties of oils?
How emotions can make us sick and what part oils play in taking care of the emotion.
Oils as compared to pharmaceuticals.
What oils were used in Bible times and what do we know about them?

He answers these questions in a very understandable and straightforward way. He centers his answers about oil characteristics around the specific oils of the Bible and also gives information on the Young Living oil blends that were formulated with spirituality in mind. This is an awesome book!


Chemistry Of Essential Oils Made Simple: GOD'S LOVE MANIFEST IN MOLECULES by David Stewart, Ph.D., D.N.M.

Another wonderful book by David Stewart. This one is very chemistry oriented as shown by the title, but includes a lot of extra information about many things.

Books about Reflexology:

Reflexology For Every Body by Joan Cosway-Hayes with Judy Law


I really like this book. It has excellent reference charts and gets very specific as to where to work the foot for specific organs or body systems. It has been very helpful to me and it is the first book I go to in looking up information.




Body Reflexology: Healing at Your Fingertips by Mildred Carter and Tammy Weber

This book is helpful because of its reference to reflex points all over the body. It is not limited to the feet and/or the hands. There are many extra pointers in this book which is why I like this book so much.

Books and Resources about Energy Healing:

Energy Medicine: Balancing Your Body's Energies for Optimal Health, Joy, and Vitality Updated and Expanded by Donna Eden

When it comes to energy medicine this one is the book to have. Donna Eden is possibly the top human energy system expert in the world. She is amazing and her book is amazing. I have had the privilege of hearing her speak in person and she is delightful as a person as well as being a master at what she does.

This book is full of information about the energy systems of the body and exercises to correct energy imbalances.

Also available is her Energy Medicine Kit which I highly recommend. The cards in this kit are easy to take with you anywhere as reminders of how to do the energy healing techniques that Donna has developed.
