In "More Letters of a Japanese Schoolboy," also known as "Hashimura Togo," Wallace Irwin crafts a compelling narrative that captures the essence of Japanese culture through the eyes of a young schoolboy. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Japan, the book employs a series of epistolary letters that deftly illustrate the protagonist's experiences, thoughts, and emotional growth. Irwin's literary style is characterized by a blend of humor and poignancy, using simple yet evocative language that resonates with readers and provides insights into the societal norms and educational practices of Japan during that era. The work stands as both a cultural artifact and a relatable coming-of-age story, making it an important piece within the continuum of cross-cultural literature of its time. Wallace Irwin, an American poet and writer, found inspiration in his interactions with Japanese culture and society, which undoubtedly influenced his portrayal of youthful earnestness and curiosity in the protagonist, Togo. His background as a humorist and poet allows him to infuse the narrative with a light-heartedness that contrasts the gravity of the issues faced by his characters. Irwin's unique perspective was shaped by his travel and experiences abroad, which provided a rich tapestry of cultural understanding and contextual nuance in his writing. This work is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersections of East and West, as it offers a rare glimpse into the life of a Japanese schoolboy and the intricacies of his world. "Letters of a Japanese Schoolboy" is not only an engaging read but also serves as a vital resource for understanding historical perspectives of Japan and enriching contemporary discussions on global education and identity.

A Healer's Book
Format: Paperback
In my opinion, this book is most suited to the "healers". I am only part-way through it right now, but thoroughly agree with what I have read so far because I have either experienced it or it makes logical sense from where I am on my personal journey. The book is slow reading, not difficult, but slow if you really want to understand what Barbara has written as she combines science with metaphysical beliefs. I cannot compare this book to her first book because, although I purchased her first book years ago, I honestly have not read it yet. "Light Emerging" was recommended by my master teacher. Barbara has spent significant time studying the auric fields of people vs. behavior. I plan to return to this review at a later time and update it with additional information, but I see it as a valuable resource for a healer (for both healing self and healing others). By the way, if you don't know it already, healing is not limited to the physical body. There is emotional healing and spiritual healing as well. ALL are important. The healthiest people are those who are balanced on all levels. This 342-page book explains a lot about energy, both scientifically and metaphysically. If you have already done significant reading, this book expands on a lot of it, such as explaining the chakras and the movement of energy throughout the system. As Barbara goes through each chakra, she explains how you likely behave if that chakra is fully functioning or if it is blocked. Quite a few illustrations within the book visually show you the energy movements within people who exhibit certain types of behavior, and the movements of energy within groups of 2 people exchanging energies at certain levels. This is one way in which this book is different from many other chakra and energy vibrational books. An example is an illustration of a couple in dispute and how they energetically resolved the dispute. Barbara has the developed ability to see the auric fields, as some do, and she supplements her writing with experiences she has had with clients. In this instance, she explains the energy movement in 3 stages of the therapy between the couple, as well as illustrates it in picture form, so you can follow what is happening energetically between the couple throughout the process. Here is a little tid-bit for you from the book: Barbara mentions that Dr. Robert Beck, a nuclear physicist, found that all healers exhibit the brain-wave patterns of 7.8 - 8 Hz while they are giving healings, the same fluctuation of the earth's magnetic energy field (the Schumann waves). The assumption is that the healers are synching up with the earth's magnetic field when doing healing. Dr. John Zimmerman, founder and president of Bio-Electro-Magnetics Institute, found through additional research, that once healers have linked with the Schumann waves, the right and left hemispheres of their brain have become balanced with each other and show a 7.8 - 8 Hz alpha rhythm. After they link with the patient for some time through laying on of hands, they are able to link the client in with the same earth's energy magnetic pulsations. Good book. If you are into metaphysical energy and healing, I think you will enjoy it and find it very informative. If you are NOT into metaphysical energy and healing, you will likely not understand it and may get nothing from it, especially if you are not open to this area of study.

Sequel to Hands of Light
Format: Paperback
Hands of Light has been widely recognized as the foundational text merging the Eastern approach to healing through cleansing and balancing a person's chakras and auras with the Western approach to healing through re-tuning a person's electromagnetic frequencies by applying the principles of quantum physics. Barbara's sequel, Light Emerging, further amplifies and extends these concepts. Specifically, she elaborates on the applications of the Holographic Model, the Creative Process and the mechanisms of Spiritual Guidance. She defines and diagrams the four dimensions of humanity at the Physical, Auric, Harac and Core Star levels. Through these four dimensions, average humans, once healed and balanced, can mature to be channels of energy, connecting heaven to earth vertically, and connecting all of humanity horizontally. The whole of Barbara's teaching can be incorporated into these four simple, clear and deeply profound diagrams. Since her previous book, Barbara set aside her private practice to establish a four-year university-level program to train and accredit healing practitioners to apply these disciplines. This book incorporates the further insights and experiences she gained through developing her School. Light Emerging is written specifically to instruct readers on how to self-heal and to give readers a preview on the commitment required to becoming a healing practitioner. This book is not intended to replace her School's four-year degree in healing. Appendix C offers links to current lists of her practicing graduates, by city and state. There is no duplication between her books. I personally benefited by reading and studying them side by side. I have also called a number of her graduates here in California and confirm they have both the meticulous training and proper motives to follow in Barbara Ann Brennon's footsteps. No fiction here. This book exemplifies the theory and practice of genuine physical, psychological and spiritual healing, either through self-study or through a practitioner.
