Bartlett teaches Matrix Energetics, showing people how to heal by reading the energies of others.
His book, however, discusses the larger issue of understanding that we can have anything we want in life as soon as we stop controlling.
If we let go and allow the right things to happen, they will.
The heart, not head, should be in charge.
He discusses the need for "knowing," not "thinking" to be the main activity.
Ask, and the answers will appear.
This is not new information, but he presents his material is a new context, and he reminds us of what we know but don't always use.
Pay attention to what is happening around us, he says.
Funny, I just happened to be rereading Redfield's Celestine Prophecy as I was working on this review.
Many will remember that classic.
The Third Insight in Redfield's book teaches us about the energies surrounding everything.
For me, this was also a matter of paying attention to the coincidences in our lives - another lesson from both works.
What I like about Bartlett is that he keeps reinforcing the idea of doing less to get more.
How often do we work hard, ignoring the fact that if we stepped back, sat and were quiet and listened, we would gain more than just forging forward? The lesson is never one of doing nothing; the message is simply one of doing less.
I love some of his sayings, "We are the Door to the Divine, not the Doer," and "Be guided by the Unseen through the realm of the Unknown.
" Those two sentences may sum up all that needs to be said.
Again, we know this stuff; we have just forgotten.
Bartlett provides specific information on his healing techniques that can be used by anyone.
His approach is that he works with a total picture and doesn't fixate on only one area of the body, even that area that seems to be the problem.
He wants us to expand our awareness.
His two-point technique is defined, and while I personally did not feel the need to experiment more than briefly with it, I do trust that it can be used by many.
His research and his experience are extensive.
His techniques valuable.
What I find the most significant, however, is his reminder that if we expect miracles, they will happen.
There isn't any magic to that.
There isn't a need for a complicated process.
His words persuade us to try the impossible.
He encourages each of us to find our own way of obtaining personal and intuitive information.
I don't mean to dismiss his energy work with my emphasis on the broader message.
Some will find that his methods open new doors.
We each need to experiment to find a path that feels like home.
Enjoy that journey.
Perhaps Bartlett provides that avenue for you.
