ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
We all know that the physical surface of our bodies serves as a biological shield to protect us, but many are unaware that we also possess an energetic field of protection. On Energetic Boundaries, Karla McLaren – an empath and award-winning author who has spent years helping healers to protect and heal themselves – invites listeners to explore the unseen energy fields that exist between us, and how to diagnose and stabilize imbalances in the energetic dimension. Through 12 involving sessions of meditations, rituals, and many other proven practices, Karla McLaren teaches: how to create safe, effective energetic boundaries, ways to remain firmly grounded throughout interactions with other people, how to recognize when someone is using you as an "emotional shrine" and address the situation, spirit "hitchhikers" – perceiving and working with this common phenomenon of energetic "invasion", and specific meditations to use before and after a healing or counseling session for clearing energy, and more.
USER REVIEWS
"In this catagory of books, Energetic Boundaries is the first audiobook that I have ever been able to say with complete confidence that "it did absolutely nothing for me but offend me". I especially did not appreciate Karla McLaren's judgement in CD 5 of: Dispelling the "all one" "myth". She may see it as a "myth" but that doesn't mean that it is a myth to ALL people. I even contacted the publishers of this audiobook (Sounds True) with my disappointment and they apologized and even sent me another audiobook CD set from another author of my choice free of charge.
Karla often had a note of sarcasm and laughter in her tone of voice and at times reminded me of a person who was trying to please a crowd/audience rather than be authentic and real. Equality and respect for all was not part of her vocabulary and she reminded me of a person who felt like she was the teacher of a 1st grade class with an attitude like you were here to learn from HER the "correct" way, and that there was nothing for HER to learn from YOU. Right from the very beginning her approach was an "I'm going to make myself comfortable" approach with no kind of real invitation for the listener to interpret her "knowledge" however they felt comfortable with. It was basically a "this is my way" attitude with no real desire to ask "but what is yours" I did not feel any kind of genuine openness from her to see that not everyone connects with Spirit in the same way that she does and that some people might actually feel offended with her talk of Jesus Christ. She tried to come across like she was all inclusive of everyone's beleifs but her underlying message was based on a Christian viewpoint. And even if prayer is the "proper" way to begin a healing session for her, everyone does not connect with Spirit through the same kind of "prayer" that she does. I have a very strong connection with God but it is not a Christian God; and since it did not mention in the advertised description of this audiobook that she would be presenting this information from more of a Christian veiwpoint and from a more "I'm the teacher" approach, I did not appreciate her attitude and style of speaking or her sarcasm. I am more in line with Lynne McTaggart's Living the Field but I never invade someone's personal space like I felt Karla did for me with comments that implies that "this is the 'correct' way to do something". I feel like all people are unique and of value to the world, all of us have something special to contribute, not just one. "

"Her tape, "Healing for Healers: How to Give Without Giving it All Away" is also available through Amazon. In my opinion it has all the best ideas from the CD at less than a quarter of the price. "

"I am finding the cds very helpful and enjoyable as well. Different personality types are fully explicated across an array of typing systems. The benefits and risk factors for the types are explained. Steps for healing (e.g., from burnout) are the focus of the series. I've find the author's "voice" to be highly compassionate, toward self and toward others. The examples from her own life make the teachings highly accessible. I enjoy that she appears to practice what she preaches: her "type" needs many artistic and creative outlets, and each cd begins and ends with her singing. If you tend to do or give "too much" and feel "drained" afterwards, these practices are for you! You will learn to give to yourself, as well as others, so you don't "give out". "

"Karla was uneasy with the guru seat many tried to place her in, so she stepped down. The backlash began. Just because she questioned being made into a guru does not mean her techniques are useless.
If you are in need of some techniques for grounding and replenishing your psyche these are still very VALID. There are not many places where you can get this info or learn these techniques.
Single biggest thing is you will learn simple imaginative ways to focus, ground and hold your own in times of great stress."

"I recommend this series to any highly sensitive, spiritual people who work in the fields of therapy, teaching, or bodywork. Her work is very grounded in the five elements, thus the incorporation of three separate cosmologies. Highly effective in helping the listener create 'sacred space,' heal and do grounding/boundary work around trauma, and just manage our own boundaries and energetic fields. Sound, helpful, practical advice delivered with compassion, insight, and humor."
