Judith Orloff M.D.Positive Energy: 10 Extraordinary Prescriptions for Transforming Fatigue, Stress, and Fear into Vibrance, Strength, and Love

I've owned a copy of Positive Energy for 5 or so years now, but I was recently called (and I mean literally called, as in, "Take that book off the shelf and read ALL of it!") to revisit it - and it has blown my mind how ready for its wisdom I am now, in a way I wasn't back then. Until this moment I never registered just how much I'm affected by the energy of others and environments around me. I knew on some level that I was, but as I went through the Intuitive Empath quiz this time, I realized I was a strong yes to all but the first question. And then it dawned on me how much self-judgment I've been beating myself up with for 33 years in response to what, to a huge extent, was actually my response to the ENERGY of a person, not to a judgment about them. Here'd I'd been subtly saying to myself, "God, why can't you just be a (kinder) person? Why can't you maintain eye contact with that coffee shop customer in line? Why do you have to get so wound up and anxious when you walk into a room of strangers?" I'd been subtly taking it all in as evidence that I'm somehow defective and bad/wrong for these responses that feel SO strong in me so often - that someone just doesn't feel safe to me (that's always the word that comes up); that I just "KNOW" someone isn't right for me to be around, and yet would still beat myself up for not being able to "just figure it out/get over it." Your book has allowed me the insight to finally release a ton of the JUDGMENT around being extremely energy-sensitive. Now I see that I don't have to judge that energetic response - you helped confirm that the responses I've been having to energy vampires, etc, were actually pretty gosh darn on point. Now I have so much more gentleness toward myself in these situations, and am able to so much better maintain safe boundaries for myself without all the judgment - for myself OR for the other person. It just is what it is.As a coach myself, I truly believe this type of heart-centered, energy-aware work can change the world. The more aware we are of the impact of the flow (or blocked flow) of energy in our experience, which this book brilliantly helps us do, the more positively and consciously we can impact others. And there's no more valuable gift than that.

Always acutely aware of people's energies and vibes, I've sought concrete answers to many questions I've had over the years about energy. Dr. Orloff's new book "Positive Energy" was a revelation at every page turn. Not only did she answer these questions but her gift of intuition brings insight into the power of energy while being grounded in psychological awareness. She is a true pioneer in this field. For those seeking self-help, and for those just curious about energy this book is a true find. I found myself marveling at the truth that pours forth from her enlightened views.Her book brought clarity to so many habits of mine that I realize now are deeply rooted in behavioral patterns from my past and part of the unhealthy survival mechanisms I have built over the years. Dr. Orloff comes from a loving place of wisdom and encourages self-healing first. Her book can be a powerful tool in your endeavors for personal growth not to mention a big dose of garlic for all those energy vampires out there.You will read and re-read this book. This is not a book that will gather dust. Dr. Orloff is down-to-earth and truly genuine, sharing her journey and offering sound advice. I've recommended this book to my family and friends for future discussions I'm quite looking forward to. Start the healing process and get her book, you won't regret it and it may just save you some therapy bills.

In a world of self-proclaimed gurus with questionable credentials, Dr. Judith Orloff is a very, very refreshing change. She is both a MD and a board certified psychiatrist. She is a pioneer in the field of energy psychiatry which I believe offers so much potential for dramatically improving the quality of lives.This book changed my life like few others ever have. It lifted my awareness of the importance of energy (of all kinds) for achieving a fulfilling life. Equally important, it laid out a thoughtful, comprehensive approach to improving ones energy. Best of all, I felt comfortable that Dr. Orloff was sharing the very best scientific information on the subject, not setting me up to purchase some "hope in a bottle" or some hyped life changing bangle.I think so highly of this book that I regularly distribute copies to those who could benefit from it. And, whenever I am traveling someplace Orloff will be speaking, I attend her speeches (which are heavy on facts and short on hype).When you follow Orloff's ten energy prescriptions, your energy will soar and your life will improve dramatically. Dramatically!!One word of caution, the energy vampires currently in your life will NOT be happy that you purchased this book. For, after reading this book, you will definitely change your approach to anyone who is sucking energy from your life.

Si te gusta el tema de la energia y de cómo usarla en tu vida diaria, este libro definitivamente te lo explica y te lleva de la mano a lo largo de los temas.

Lot of wisdom. Great book. Helps realise a lot of things which we simply miss

Esse é um livro específico para pessoas empatas, de fato. Acho que se você nunca teve experiências como as que ela descreve, os ponto abordados se tornam meio etéreos, simplista e subjetivos, mas importante saber, pois você pode conviver com pessoas que são constituídas e operam dessa forma.Contudo, para pessoas que de fato passam mal em vários ambientes e entendem de forma visceral muitas das descrições que ela faz, o livro se torna sensacional. Trata-se de uma maneira bastante prática de olhar o mundo diante da aceitação do nível de sua sensibilidade e as formas de se manter equilibrado e positivo.

I borrowed this book 3 times from the library and just loved it so much that I decided to have it in my book collection.As a medical exercise specialist and a former personal trainer of many years now with a polio related disability, I can honestly say that Judith covers this topic of energy in an intelligent and unique way. This book is well researched and very well written and will give you a different point of view when it comes to energy. It is very useful as well if you are working with clients who have energy issues as I am. Thank you Judith.

This book is the best I have come across in the field of energy. Mainly because it is accessible to all with its fantastic simplicity and there are many helpful tips and hints on how to improve your energetic well-being and that of the people around you. Written in such an optimistic and warm-hearted way, it's sure to prove itself useful in every person's personal library. If you are drained of energy and need to find a way to evaporate all of that negativity and stress, there is a way. If you are already flourishing with positive vibes, but still need to find a way to deal with energetic charity cases, then there is also help here. Being an intuitive empath and not knowing about it can lead to difficulties and this book starts off with a simple question-test to find out if you are one. Although even if you are not, this book will still be very helpful. It is the only writing I have come across for the moment which gives the advice to keep a record of various things (proving to be underrated and neglected) in order to be mindful of them, connect with the heart of the problem and let it go with compassion. This book is a wonder, in my humble opinion and im sure I will come back to it not once. Thank you so much for this great read and positive knowledge!
