John C Pierrakos
"John Pierrakos's theme is the human Core, the blockages to Core feeling in the human body and psyche. As the co-founder of bio-energetics, Pierrakos spent more than 20 years developing energy-mobilisation methods to soften the muscular armour of the over-defended body... Core Energetics...deepens this psychosomatic work by drawing on his extensive knowledge of the human energy field (aura) and on group methods for increasing our contact to the inner essence in each of us... After reading this book...I felt renewed hope and commitment to the basic decency in each person which Core Energetics seeks first to recognise, then to liberate from our destructive manipulation..." David Boadella. "One finishes reading this book filled with wonder, and determined to accept the responsibility assigned by Pierrakos in order to transform oneself and one's world." Stanley Krippner.

George A Katchmer
This is the first comprehensive study of the use of Energetics as a scientific model (paradigm) in both western and eastern thought. It traces the history and uses of Qi (Chi), from the I Ching through physics, astrology, Feng Shui and alchemy. The author demonstrates how the findings of the ancient Qigong Masters were paralleled and confirmed in the early works of Hippocrates, Paracelsus and Mesmer. He then shows the confirmation of Qigong theory in the modern clinical and experimental discoveries of Freud, Jung, Reich and Lowen. Special attention is given to the experiments of Reich to show the objectivity of the energy paradigm, and his experiments are quoted at length as scientific confirmation of Qigong.
