About the Book

Are You Suffering
from a Personal Energy Crisis?

In this groundbreaking book, renowned educator, natural medicine pharmacist, and initiated shamana Connie Grauds helps you tap into the wellsprings of vital positive energy that lie within you—but are often blocked by the dissipating negative energy of fear. Combining cutting-edge Western science with the ancient healing principles of shamanism, Grauds explains how fear and its side effects are at the root of a variety of ailments, from lethargy, depression, and insomnia to the most serious illnesses—and provides a practical program that will revitalize every area of your life. From restoring physical and emotional health to gaining harmony in work and personal relationships, here are exercises that will teach you how to:

• Eliminate energy-depleting habits and create new, energy-generating behaviors

• Identify your energy "leaks"

• Release stress and tension through a deeper somatic awareness

• Restore the dynamic flow of energy through the eight primary entradas, or gateways: mind/soul, breath, water, food, exercise, nature, relationships, and altruism

• Look beyond visible physical symptoms to achieve genuine healing

In addition, Grauds shares personal experiences from her fascinating ten-year apprenticeship in the Amazon with a master healer. Now you can begin on a path of balance, wisdom, sanity, and self-knowledge that will support even the most demanding lifestyle and help you achieve the optimum health that is naturally yours.

Critical Aclaim for The Energy Prescription

Constance Grauds' book is a wakeup call to what matters. It not only diagnoses a critical problem but offers elegant solutions as well. It is an invitation for every reader to perform a psycho-spiritual biopsy, assess their soul's health, and take whatever restorative measures may be needed. It is difficult to imagine what could be more important....

In The Energy Prescription, Connie Grauds shows how to get back on track to live a vital and fulfilling life. Taking wisdom from ancient shamanistic approaches, she shows how to heal such common and persistent problems as chronic fatigue, depression and anxiety by helping us connect to the deepest parts of ourselves.

Connie Grauds has a most intriguing perspective on health and healing: trained as a pharmacist, she has spent years studying with a shaman in the Peruvian Amazon. As such, she offers interesting insights into treatments for problems like depression and insomnia, ailments that she terms "energy leaks." I recommend this book for anyone interested in holistic healing.
