In Resonance with Nature

Subtitled 'holistic healing for plants and land', this book summarises the work of a Dutch biologist in restoring the vitality of habitats through what he calls eco-therapy. The two parts deal with diagnosis and therapy, analysing life force energy in number of places and exploring theoretical ideas from Sheldrake to Reich and the Huna. Each chapter contains practical exercises for the reader, including using a pendulum for energy diagnosis and perceiving at a distance. In the therapeutic section, green fingers are explained in terms of giving energy to plants, and the use of music, colours and symbols is elaborated. There is also a separate chapter on crop circles and one on radionics. This is a difficult book for the general reader with a great deal of technical detail, and I had the impression that this kind of material would be easier to absorb through personal contact. Nevertheless, those interested in healing the landscape will find much practical advice.
