Gifts of Mother Earth: Earth Energies, Vortexes, Lines, and Grids

A treasure trove of profound information the breath, depth, and magnitude of which makes this book the most pivotal thing I've ever read.

If you are interested in the subject of what is known as subtle energy - meaning what might be called "spiritual energy" that is outside the electro-magnetic spectrum that modern traditional science recognizes as energy - this is an eye-opening book. Van Etten, the developer of what he terms metaphysical ecology, is an exceptionally gifted, thoughtful and comprehensive thinker. He not only reviews the entire field of what has been discovered and written on this subject, but also has done (with his wife Jeanne Michaels) an amazing amount of personal, profound and original research throughout the world on this critical, but vastly under-appreciated subject. Covering the subtle energy of the human body (meridians and chakras), of the Earth herself, of animals such as whales and dolphins, of possible historical civilizations (Atlantis and Lemuria), and of the consciousness and gateways that surround the planet and connect us to Universal Energy, Van Etten's book opens vistas for us that no other book has yet done. A ground-breaking, fascinating and unique work. (Written by Kenneth Porter, M.D.)

Well written and illustrated. The material is complex at times and as diverse as the subjects are. Exactly WHY one who loves the study of energy will really want this book in their personal library. I got a copy for my daughter as I don't want to let mine out my reach right now. Too much goodstuff in there to refer to …

Was a hard read at times while reading about all they discovered and sizes and this and that without learning how, why or a roadmap to learn how to see or feel the lines. Interesting but I have way more questions.than I did before I started the book which I guess is what it is. May come back in some years and 're read it and have it resonate more.

I do indeed recommend this book, even though one must know that the search for, and the mapping of earth energy lines,are very tricky. Two people very seldom get the same results since mother earth do give you what you ask for!The intentions and questions of different people can and never will be the exact same!

The Book came up very high with my Dowsing rods 94% correct.I have read this book twice.Hard to follow at times.One of better books out there on this topic.I hope Jaap writes more books.

I read it . but I didn't get it. Now, may that's because I don't really engage in this sort of...contemplation.I don't feel comfortable about rating this since I have no basis of reference.

Wanted to learn more about the earths grids, lei lines, vortexes and such.

Lots of info in this book that I have not read in other similar books on this subject . . Loved the author's explanation of the Hartmann , Curry and Benker grids best yet , using the power of intent with unconditional love to neutralize these grids where they exist on ones property etc . Many grids and vortexes thoughout the planet and then discussed in fine details along with much much more . It really a book that needs reading more than once to embed the knowledge into ones brain as it gets quite detailed and a little bit heavy in places.

a very interesting book
