Energy Work: The Secret of Healing and Spiritual Development
(3) Comments

I first learned of Robert Bruce through his work with astral projection. While attending a weekend workshop taught by Bruce, he spoke of his book, Energy Work: The Secret of Healing and Spiritual Development, an excellent companion to many types of spiritual practice. He spent time observing his own energy body feeling for different sensations without following a particular established system.
What’s fascinating is that he discovered through firsthand experience many of the same energy centers and channels taught in other traditions. Bruce has developed a method for teaching anyone how to access and affect one’s energy body using awareness, visualization and breath work.
The book begins with a thorough explanation of the energy body and the benefits of becoming aware of and utilizing it. These benefits include improved physical body functions, self-healing mechanisms, psychic and spiritual development and activation of vital and subtle energies. There are detailed descriptions and illustrations demonstrating how to use one’s thoughts to awaken, move and store energy.
Through a step-by-step process, Bruce moves through various stages of energy work from initial stimulation of energy around each toe and finger, to removing energy blockages and heart center healing. His methods are easy to understand and do not require complicated procedures or rituals. He encourages the use of practice to discover the unique energy properties of one’s own body.
Bruce is especially adept at noting potential side effects of energy work. He explains that while many spiritual traditions focus on activating the higher energy centers, it is equally important to activate the lower energy centers in order to maintain balance. He provides numerous techniques to create and maintain a healthy and active energy body.
I recently completed an online course, Practical Astral Projection Intensive, taught by Bruce along with Bob and Marina Felix. I was reminded of Energy Work since many of the techniques detailed in the book can be applied to supporting and achieving an out of body experience. However, the book goes much further without focusing specifically on astral projection. Bruce’s approach can enhance and be applied to many spiritual or energy practices as there is no attachment to a particular tradition.
