Does the onslaught of violence in the news leave you drained? If so, you're the victim of a hidden energy crisis. To resolve it you need more than traditional solutions such as eating well, getting a good night's sleep, and exercising. Here at last is the complete prescription to stop you from feeling constantly drained and enables you to live a more vibrant life: the Positive Energy Program created by Judith Orloff, M.D. Dr. Orloff is the pioneer behind Energy Psychiatry, a new field that addresses the subtle energetic components of health and behavior. Energy Psychiatry blends the practice of mainstream medicine with an emerging scientific understanding of subtle energies, revered by many cross-cultural healing traditions as our life force. In Positive Energy, Dr. Orloff explains this exciting new discipline and how it led her to formulate ten essential prescriptions for boosting energy, improving relationships, and combating energy vampires. The prescriptions are: Awaken your intuition and rejuvenate yourself--and learn the cure for technodespair and overload from emails, computers, and phones Find a nurturing spiritual path that fits your own beliefs and inner stirrings Design an energy-aware approach to diet, exercise, and health--and learn how to avoid the "energetic overeating" that sabotages attempts to lose weight Generate positive emotional energy to counter negativity Develop a heart-centered sexuality Open yourself to the flow of creativity and inspiration to achieve greater joy Celebrate the sacredness of laughter, pampering, and the replenishment of retreat--it's not selfish to take care of yourself Discover how to attract positive people and situations Protect yourself from energy vampires with specific shielding techniques Create abundance and a continuing flow of energy The purpose of this program is to make your life easier. Each prescription has clear instructions for practicing the simple, powerful exercises Dr. Orloff gives her patients and uses herself--plus, there's a "Treat Yourself" section to help you relax and enjoy the program's full benefits. Following each chapter are Dr. Orloff's interviews with luminaries who share their personal secrets about how they use a specific prescription to generate more energy. You'll discover how Quincy Jones's intuition opened up after brain surgery, Larry King honed his interviewing techniques, Naomi Judd recovered from hepatitis C, and Jamie Lee Curtis deals with draining people. Dr. Orloff says, "We can't stop the negative circumstances of our time--our cell phones will keep ringing, e-mails will keep coming, people will be rude, our children will be demanding, and bad things will happen in the world. But we can learn ways to protect our energy so that we can stay centered in dealing with the stresses that arise." Positive Energy shows you how to slow down time to match your natural rhythms, allowing you to be fully present for your life. Learning this can make the difference between an exuberant life and one you're always recovering from. Filled with Dr. Orloff's warmth, humor, and compassion, Positive Energy is your tool kit for transforming fatigue, stress, and fear into an abundance of vibrance, strength, and love.

*****This book inspired and motivated me to "get my life together" and design my lifestyle so that I can create positive energy instead of being lethargic, unmotivated, and drained all the time. For me, it provided the key to my problems---too much exposure to environments and people that drain my energy and not enough thought, planning, and assertiveness in setting things up so that I can acccomplish what I need to and want to with my life. I would recommend it highly for anyone who is anxious, depressed, tired, bored---in general, for anyone who would like a program of practical exercises to create more energy in their life.I like the way the exercises are presented (I usually don't like exercises in self-help books and skip them). They are set off with shading, short, and not bothersome or time-consuming to do. If you are already worn out and tired the last thing you want is more "exercises" to do. Dr. Orloff's exercises are relaxing and add to your life rather than take away. The book is enjoyable and relaxing to read. I would feel "up" and inspired after reading even a small part. This is the type of book that needs to be digested and re-read, not to grasp the information, but to remind yourself of important truths until they become a part of your life. Dr. Orloff is an M.D., very knowledgeable, and a Buddhist as well. I found her spiritual orientation helpful and not offensive, although I am a Christian. The book discusses energy, meridians, and chakras in a practical down-to-earth way, assuming no previous exposure to these ideas and not incorporating popular New Age or woo-woo ideas as many books do. Her scientific orientation would be helpful, I would think, to people of any spiritual orientation or background. Positive Energy provided just the information I needed at the right time. I went through the book, reviewing what I'd highlighted and came up with my own customized plan that I typed up and printed out to distill and emphasize parts that were especially helpful to me; I plan to read and follow this daily. I'd already started implementing her ideas and suggestions, though, and had already begun looking at things "energetically" to see what effect they had on my body, mind, and spirit. Her ideas work, and they really made a difference for me.Thank you Dr. Orloff, for a truly life-changing book that helped me incredibly, and hopefully will help many others.*****
"...actively involved in energetic transformation..."

I'm a big fan of Dr. Judith Orloff. A psychiatrist and professor at UCLA, she broke important ground with her first book, Second Sight, by revealing how she has learned to come to terms with and embrace her intuitive/psychic abilities. Following it up with Dr. Judith Orloff's Guide to Intuitive Healing, she set about teaching others how to apply their own intuitive sense to their physical, emotional and sexual wellness.Now Orloff continues the teaching with her brand new Positive Energy, this time giving the reader even more practical intuitive advise on how to transform fatigue, stress and fear into vibrancy, strength and love. Assisted by everyone from Eve Ensler to Larry King, from Iyanla Vanzant to Quincy Jones, Orloff breaks her book into ten specific areas for interviewed discussions. The book is filled with information, techniques, tactics and treats that get one actively involved in energetic transformation. There's a lot to explore and absorb in this 333-page book. I found it to be the perfect companion in my quiet, reflective times this month and thoroughly enjoyed its gifts.
Positive Energy

I am a middle-age lady, a mother of three children, a new comers to Canada, I have to face lots of barriers to get a job here. I have to go to school to be certified for the job I have done for many years in my home country.I was depressed in the last few weeks, because of so many things, like too much work for my school, lesson plans and assignments, having the restrict associate teacher, missing my husband who is away from home to work, missing my family overseas, and so many other things. I did not have energy to get out of the bed and not even motivation to do anything, no appetite to eat. One day I decided to go out for a walk and I went to Chapters, at the entrance table I saw a book named Positive Energy, I grabbed it, that was what I wanted at that moment. I sat there and read the first few pages, it helped me gain a little bit of my energy. From that day on, I read the book everyday. It helped me a lot. Now I feel much better. I just wanted to share this with you, I hope nobody ever feels down but in case someone needs to get energy and motivation, I would strongly recommend this book.
Sense and Change the Energy in Your Life
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Energy psychiatrist Dr. Judith Orloff shares ten heartfelt tips to help you sense and transform the energies around you in order to make better choices and improve the quality of your relationships in her book, POSITIVE ENERGY. You can learn to sense the energy fields or "vibes" surrounding you and other people, places and things -- and by doing so, gain tremendous intuitive insight, poise, and confidence in even the most difficult situations. POSITIVE ENERGY provides clear descriptions of how various kinds of energy ranging from delightfully positive to destructively negative feel, so you can more readily decipher your own physiological and emotional reactions to people and situations. For example, when you meet someone new and notice your body experiencing sudden otherwise inexplicable aches and pains, you're picking up strong negative vibes which should not be ignored! What I like best about POSITIVE ENERGY is the way it brings the concept of bioenergy fields into everyday life, through exercises, stories, and interviews with people from all walks of life (Jamie Lee Curtis, Eve Ensler, Wavy Gravy, Amy Gross, Quincy Jones, Naomi Judd, Larry King, Shirley MacLaine, Rosa Parks, Iyanla Vanzant). POSITIVE ENERGY shines a light into even the darkest places, and provides new techniques for healing ourselves and our world. -- Cynthia Sue Larsonauthor of "Aura Advantage: How the Colors in Your Aura Help You Attain What You Desire and Attract Success"
