In Trauma Energetics, A Study of Held-Energy Systems, describing inner vision strategies drawn from physics, William Redpath examines how trauma is stored energetically in the mindbody. In a holistic, meditational approach to trauma resolution, Redpath demonstrates how to connect to the elusive phenomena of mind/body awareness where there is no movement of our life energy by focusing upon inner color and shape without will or intention; we can readily tap thereby into the most profound aspects of our brain's self-healing capacities. Within a wide-ranging cultural lineage and historical commentary on political religions, myth, and spirit, the author unwittingly has reinvented the alchemical wheel, showing how the forces, strategies, and process which alchemists recognized are still available and in refined, contemporary form, easily and effectively applicable. Redpath's provocative approach to the critical importance of trauma in our cognitive, emotional, and kinesthetic experience is initially complex in presentation. However, he delineates a holistic, meditational vision which is ultimately simple and hopeful. ( )
