Review:

....John Pierrakos's work is "a desire to heal the split within". He uses "core energetics" to unify body, mind, emotion and spirit in a conscious evolution toward a fuller life in the body. ...in the realm of human consciousness Eros is seen as transformative energy, love as unifying energy, and sexuality as creative energy. Exploring the full potential of these forces, as well as blockages of them in both personality and body, is the book's main thrust. Pierrakos speaks with authority and compassion, and while he admits that the topic he tackles is enormous, this succinct little volume adroitly sums up the arena. Notes from a participant on an Eros, Love & Seuxality workskhop led by the author are also includled as well as biographical material. -- NAPRA Review
