Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior

Book Description

David R. Hawkins details how anyone may resolve the most crucial of all human dilemmas: how to instantly determine the truth or falsehood of any statement or supposed fact. Dr. Hawkins, who worked as a "healing psychiatrist" during his long and distinguished career, uses theoretical concepts from particle physics, nonlinear dynamics, and chaos theory to support his study of human behavior. This is a fascinating work that will intrigue readers from all walks of life!

Great food for thought.......2007-10-03

Actually I would give this 4 1/2 stars because this book is written so assertively it may be a turn-off for those who would be receptive to exploring its ideas.

Think of "Power Vs. Force" as an intellectual version of "The Secret," in that it includes scientific discussion and heavy-hitting authorities to posit similar ideas.

No matter what your opinion, this book deserves great credit for putting some extremely interesting ideas out there for discussion and debate. The cover of the book looks like you would have to be an Ivy-League professor to crack it open, but this book would actually be a great book club selection because it would open the door for a fantastic discussion.

A fun and interesting book to read, even if you don't agree. Recommended.

Incredibly important read..........2007-09-15

This book is wonderful. It's a must read for anyone in the alternative healing arts. I'm a physicist and this book answers so many of the skeptics arguements about our connection to the universe and does so in a very grounded way. Should be required reading for all thinking persons...

Powerful! (Not forceful!).......2007-08-29

I'll be honest with you. Some of the finer points in this book are over my head. But I do understand that when we come from a place of love, joy, peace, and acceptance, we have much power to manifest our desires than we do when we come from a place of fear, greed, pride, etc. In fact, the way I see it, love (and its associated states of being) are our only TRUE power -- a power that can manifest miracles -- and everything else we experience in life is just a matter of "force," and the consequences of force. I was first introduced to this idea in a book called Row, Row, Row Your Boat: A Guide For Living Life In The Divine Flow. Power vs. Force really expands on this idea, though, and I think it's an important book for all to read.

Understanding Consciousness.......2007-08-28

This book provides powerful and important insight into the evolution of consciousness. Anyone interested in the likely course of human development should read it closely.

how to help save the planet... read this book..........2007-08-10

This is probably one of the most powerful modern-day books in print. Everyone should read this. It explains how we can all tell who's lying and who's telling the truth very simply, in a matter of seconds. This would put an end to lawyers, judges, police, etc. Most of us have no clue how powerful we are. One very important point he makes is about kids and their addictions to rap and hard rock music. These types of music contain subliminal messages, can cause future health problems, and may actually be the reason behind a ssenseless crime committed by your child later on. Sound familiar? You know, that nice, quiet kid? All your food and water can be tested, too, to see whether you should eat that Big Mac, which I'm sure would score near the bottom of the scale... Please read this book and pass it around!

Book Description

This leading-edge book by Esther and Jerry Hicks, who present the teachings of the nonphysical entity Abraham, is about having a deliberate intent for whatever you want in life, while at the same time balancing your energy along the way. But it’s important to note that the awareness of the need to balance your energy is much more significant than goal-setting or focusing on ultimate desires. And it is from this very important distinction that this work has come forth.

As you come to understand and effectively practice the processes offered here, you will not only achieve your goals and desired outcomes more rapidly, but you’ll enjoy every single step along the path even before their manifestation. As such, you’ll find that the living of your life is an ongoing journey of joy, rather than a series of long dry spells between occasional moments of temporary satisfaction.

Love the work by Esther and Jerry Hicks.......2007-10-09

I have been teaching and working in the field of alternative health for over 25 years. I ran a school of holistic health for eleven years. In all the courses I have studied and taught intention is the most powerful ingredient in everything. The information provided by Abraham is clear and precise and easy to apply in one's life. For some it is hard to comprehend that it is channeled work, but if you apply the teachings you will find it very transformational and healing.

The trick of course as with everything is to apply the teachings daily and make the teachings a habit. Just like yoga, tai chi, meditation or any practice you must apply them daily to receive a benefit. It doesn't work to simply read or understand the teachings.The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent: Living the Art of Allowing

The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent.......2007-10-06

Abraham is becoming clearer all the time. There is no longer any question of how to apply their lessons on universal laws. This book presents the dilemas we face in this 'reality' with easy to work approaches to creating the changes we want for ourselves.

Incredible.......2007-10-05

This may have been the best book I have ever read, but then I say that after I read any of the Hicks books. They are all life changing, life enhancing. All of us here at work read and talk about these books daily. We even have a weekly 'book club' where we discuss things we have read and practiced. These are our lifelines. I can't recommend them enough. The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent has helped me in regards to my finances, getting fit and how I think about our government. Don't wait any longer. Get yours today!

Delving deeper and deliberately.......2007-10-01

It took a closer reading of this book to fully appreciate it, having read 'Ask And It Is Given' and 'The Law of Attraction.' If you are new to these teachings, I recommend, you read one of those first in order to fully appreciate what is presented here. This book focuses on the NOW, in making sure you stay aligned with your higher non-physical self(and thus source energy/God/universe), moment by moment. Exercises and examples are offered to help you get back on track towards alignment no matter what your emotional state. Yes, there is some repetition from other books, but that is what it takes to "get it". And while I was initially disappointed that some of the same processes discussed in 'Ask..' were repeated here, I realized that these were specifically chosen given the theme of this book, and the fresh examples offered, provided another incentive to use them! For those who have understood the basics, and then get stuck occasionally, or want to ratchet up their alignment with source, this book is a must. For me, it reinforced some fundamental points:
i) that more important than want you desire, is how you FEEL about that desire, and the vibration you offer.
ii) feeling good about something or a situation is more important than being right or justified in your negative emotion/judgment of it.
iii) nothing is more important than feeling good.
(For those who are critical of 'feeling good' or see it as selfish while African children are starving, recognize that unless we feel good, we are unable to be of benefit to others or focus beyond our immediate needs, let alone anyone else's. Also, as we move up the emotional scale toward peace/love/joy, our perceptions of 'self' is also more likely to change to embrace all beings as part of the interconnectedness that is the Universe, and one with Source. This is more likely to result in creating more compassionate deliberate intentions and manifestations to benefit all beings!

Ultimately though, this book is about making the most of our time in this physical plane, using our consciousness and thoughts to keep us in alignment with source energy in order to experience joy and abundance.

Interesting, but..........2007-09-08

The channeled Abraham says nothing you couldn't actually have thought of yourself, and at times I get the distinct feeling that I have read this or that almost word for word elsewhere in much older books.

Now this may be 'coincidence' but we all know that pure coincidence does not exist. I doubt very much that all of its content was channeled, it just doesn't have the right feel and twist of phrasing about it.

Nevertheless, a nice book as an introduction for the novice to the magical approach of living life. To those new to the material this book can look like be and end all of learning, but it isn't, and there is much more interesting stuff out there. Once you have mastered the basics - feel free to progress and have an adventure in cosnciousness. Don't just consume, be.

I can also recommend The Wizards of Consciousness: Making the Imponderable Practical and any of the Bartholomew books like "I Come As a Brother": A Remembrance of Illusions. these too are easily accessible.

Hands of Light: A Guide to Healing Through the Human Energy Field, by Barbara Ann Brennan, is a scientist's look at the field of bioenergetic healing, offering specific techniques towards expanding perceptual tools of healing, seeing auras, understanding psychodynamics and the human energy field, and spiritual healing. Trained as a physicist and psychotherapist, Brennan has spent the last 15 years studying the human energy field and working as a healer. Hands of Light goes beyond conventional, objective knowledge while retaining scientific clarity. It details a study of the human energy field and how it is intimately connected to a person's health and well being and contains essential information for anyone involved in healing and conscious health care, including people seeking to heal themselves. Science and spirituality may currently be at odds, but fortunately there will always be scientists who are spiritual seekers, and it is in the mingling of the two worlds where wisdom is born. --Jodie Buller

Book Description

With the clarity of a physicist and the compassion of a gifted healer with fifteen years of professional experience observing 5,000 clients and students, Barbara Ann Brennan presents the first in-depth study of the human energy field for people who seek happiness, health and their full potential.

Our physical bodies exist within a larger "body," a human energy field or aura, which is the vehicle through which we create our experience of reality, including health and illness. It is through this energy field that we have the power to heal ourselves.

This energy body -- only recently verified by scientists, but long known to healers and mystics -- is the starting point of all illness. Here, our most powerful and profound human interactions take place, the precursor and healer of all physiological and emotional disturbances.

Hands of Light is your guide to a new wholeness. It offers:

• A new paradigm for the human, in health, relationship, and disease
• An understanding of how the human energy field looks, functions, is disturbed, healed, and interacts with friends and lovers.
• Training in the ability to see and interpret auras
• Medically verified case studies of healing people from all walks of life with a variety of illnesses.
• Guidelines for healing the self and others.
• The author's personal and intriguing life adventure which gives us a model for growth, courage and possibilities for expanded consciousness

This is a fascinating book. An absolute essential for practising healers, or anybody interested in that field. The author is an extemely intelligent lady, so, I must admit that some of it went over my head, the technical parts that is, but that still does not detract from the books worth. It is the sort of book that you will keep forever as a reference book.

Good Book - Some damage.......2007-05-10

It seems to be a really informative book, the only thing I was not happy about was that there was a stain on the book on the outside pages which covered most of the book. This is the 1st time this has happened, I do think the price was right. They may have stated that,and not sure if I would buy from that co. again.

Babara Brennan is one of the most influential healers of our time. This book has helped me to understand the dynamics of energy in the physical body.

A MUST for Energy Workers.......2006-07-09

Anyone working in holistic healing in regard to energy work will benefit greatly from this "classic" reference in their library. Just the pictures alone are enough to learn from. This is a "must have" for all energy workers.

What sets Anatomy of the Spirit apart is Carolyn Myss's ability to blend diverse religious and spiritual beliefs into a succinct discussion of health and human anatomy. For example, when describing the seven energy fields of the human body, she fuses Christian sacraments with Hindu chakras and the Kabbalah's Tree of Life. Fortunately, Myss is a skilled writer as well as researcher, able to ground her extensive spiritual and religious discussions by using real-life stories and a tight writing style. Those who are squeamish with the notion of biography affecting biology will find this book a struggle (in one chapter, Myss links pancreatic cancer with a man's refusal to unburden his life and start fulfilling his dreams). Many, however, hail Myss for creating a valuable contribution to the ongoing exploration of spirituality and health. --Gail Hudson

Amazon.com Audiobook Review

A former journalist turned medical intuitive, Caroline Myss soothingly fuses Hindu chakras, Christian sacraments, and the Judaic Tree of Life to form her seven stages of power in the human body. Reading her own work to an appreciative studio audience, her tone is often confessional as she builds her case by using stories from her own life of spiritual growth. The audience responds with mild laughter at her wry asides, as if at a New Age dinner party somewhere in the Colorado mountains--where this was taped--with an extra place set for you. (Running time: three hours, two cassettes) --Kimberly Heinrichs

Book Description

Anatomy of the Spirit is the boldest presentation to date of energy medicine by one of its premier practitioners, internationally acclaimed medical intuitive Caroline Myss, one of the "hottest new voices in the alternative health/spirituality scene" (Publishers Weekly). Based on fifteen years of research into energy medicine, Dr. Myss's work shows how every illness corresponds to a pattern of emotional and psychological stresses, beliefs, and attitudes that have influenced corresponding areas of the human body.

Anatomy of the Spirit also presents Dr. Myss's breakthrough model of the body's seven centers of spiritual and physical power, in which she synthesizes the ancient wisdom of three spiritual traditions-the Hindu chakras, the Christian sacraments, and the Kabbalah's Tree of Life-to demonstrate the seven stages through which everyone must pass in the search for higher consciousness and spiritual maturity. With this model, Dr. Myss shows how you can develop your own latent powers of intuition as you simultaneously cultivate your personal power and spiritual growth.

By teaching you to see your body and spirit in a new way, Anatomy of the Spirit provides you with the tools for spiritual maturity and physical wholeness that will change your life.

A teaching tool........2007-09-08

I am a retired RN and a Reiki practioner, and I teach Meditation. I encourage my students to get Caroline Myss's book "Anatomy of the Spirit" to help them understand mind, body spiritual and emotional healing and how we are responsible for our own healing. It is a wonderful book as are all of her books. Having "Anatomy of the Spirit" on CD is great for listening in the car and for walks.

Just what the doctor ordered.......2007-07-22

I have read this book about three times over a period of about 10 years and it never fails to inspire me. The way the book is broken down is very clear and it is easy to understand most of what is being said. The best part of the book, I think, are the questions posed at the end of each of the chapters. Those are questions that can help guide you towards approaching your life in a more organized way. The only issues I have would be the almost excessive religious aspects to the book. For those spiritual, yet non-religious people out there, I would suggest just taking those comments lightly and applying them to your own perspectives on life. In addition, there were times when I wished that there were more detailed and practical pieces of advice. I often felt that the advice was a bit too general and therefore didn't give me some of the practical help that I needed. However, regardless of those reservations, I still believe that this book gave me a stepping stone in terms of how I would like to change my life and that's an important thing.

Informative.......2007-07-19

Very interesting, I will have to listen to it a few times to get all the information.

Normally I get 99% of my books from Amazon, but I was at the book store with my husband and I was just drawn to this book. I have never heard of Caroline Myss, but now I am a HUGE fan. I just love this book! Thank you Caroline for writting such an inspirational, eye opening, touching book.

Absolute read for ANYONE/EVERYONE in search of their own spirtiuality!.......2007-07-02

This is one of the most profound books that I have ever read. My life has changed completely. I can not put into words how inpsiring and eye opening Caroline's writing is. You must read this! It is not only for people seeking spirituality. It is truly about real life and YOU as an individual. I have referred this reading to 4 of my closest friends and they all feel exactly the same way after have read it.

Regular practice of these postures:
Relieves muscular tension and nervous stress
Improves respiration and digestion
Benefits the cardiovascular system
Leads to deep relaxation and well-being
Tunes and energizes the chakras

The Five Tibetans are explained within the context of traditional yoga, providing a foundation for understanding.

Black-and-white photographs and illustrations complement the text and clearly indicate the proper execution of each exercise.

Suggested by my Yoga teacher........great easy way to practice whether you're home or away.

Really good companion!.......2006-12-06

When I first bought this book a few years ago I tried it but after a few days lost interest. Later that year I found it again between other books I kept in a box and decided to try it again. And yes, it works!
It is not a long book, and it will take you maybe one or two days to read it. That being said, I think that it is a great source for those (like me) that like a quick dose of yoga, whether because of time or whatever reason.
The exercises within are great, and you can do them wherever you want without the need for a mat or blanket.
Ideal for traveling.

expect miracles.......2006-11-03

While recovering from a traumatic bicycling injury, I read Mr. Kilham's book and started out slowly.
I regularly increased my duration and am now incorporating The Five Tibetans into my daily life.
The exercises have opened up healing and strength channels I did not know existed. My recovery time was cut in half.
The book took all of one afternoon to read and understand, but the benefits will last a lifetime.

Pretty good!.......2006-05-12

I've been doing the exercises comprised in this book for the past few years -indeed they are good, indeed they work, but as with everything that regards the human body you can't expect them to work without you putting a bit of effort... I haven't been able to find such book yet, a book that can change your life or your health or the way in which you look at your own life by just reading it. Everything requires an effort.

If you are commited and decide to try these exercises go ahead, for they will work. They comprise a simple routine that can be done everywhere and at any time of the day.

But most important, look at the bright side of life!

Five Tibetans.......2006-03-24

Being a yoga practitioner for 6 years now - I found this book to be an excellent resource for those who want a quick effective yoga workout - those who don't have the time to do an hour a day as I do. It is also good for when you travel as it requires no mats, blocks, blankets or any of the other props needed for most yoga regimes. Only thing I found disconcerting was the First Tibetan which made me naseuous. I have to assume this would subside with time. Well written and easy to follow. A simple but effective book.

Good, but not the best I've heard from Abraham-Hicks.......2007-09-25

I have listened to a few recordings by these authors and find this particular recording not as superior as Ask and It Is Given, Part II, The Processes. I would not purchase this item again if I could do it over.

Abraham & Vibrational Energy Concepts .......2007-09-05

This is a very good book on CD, and is life-changing material, if you are willing to believe in something that may sound VERY different to you. Most people do not believe in this way. "The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent" is the entire CD. Part 1 is "Living the Art of Allowing" and is a collection of 4 CDs, narrated mainly by Jerry Hicks. Part 2 is "Living the Path to Joy Through Energy Balance" and is a second collection of 4 CDs. You really want to buy both packages to get the entire book.

Abraham is a collective consciousness who speaks to Esther. She then relays the material. The material speaks primarily of metaphysical energy and its relationship to all that there is. It goes in-depth into manifestation by aligning your personal vibrational energies to match what you really want. Again, I know that's a hard concept to swallow, but that is the Law of Attraction. You really DO get what you think about. I have been studying metaphysical energy for about the last 7 or 8 years and I have seen the evidence soooo many times. Unfortunately, because of fear and control and many other negative personal vibrations, people usually think about what they DON'T want and that is what they manifest. Put simply, instead of seeing their car running smoothly on a log trip, they worry "What if it breaks down?". Instead of thinking about money in a positive way, they usually think of a LACK of money, and generally worry about it. So, they usually get what they do NOT want.

Anyway, this set of CDs not only explains the concept very well, but gives real-life examples and examples of the proper (aligned) thinking versus the non-aligned (improper) thinking, so you can begin to change your vibration to attract what you DO want. Like I said though, you need both CDs and an open mind, a VERY open mind. You also need to really work at this vibrational change to achieve successes with it. Even when you do achieve successes, it's hard to believe because we were just not conditioned to believe this way.

All that said, it's a great product and these are not the only authors talking about vibrational energy matching to manifest. What they say is right on target.

CD1, this set is slightly less than 2 and a half hours. The other CD set is slightly more than 2 and a half hours. Both sets together total over 5 hours of audio book material which you can easily listen to in the car on your way to work. These 8 CDs have the potential to change your life.

Further Insight Into The Laws Of Attraction.......2007-08-08

I have purchased and listened to all the Abraham-Hicks material available and next to the actual "Laws Of Attraction" CD, this CD has to be the most insightful in furthering the distinctions of the actual Laws of Attraction. It has been very useful to me as a coach of the material and has helped my clients immensely. I would recommend it to any student of the Laws of Attraction to help give them a better understanding of how the laws work.

More Positive Abe.......2007-07-31

This a good continuing series of workshop excerpts on various challenging life situations. Read by Jerry, this adds a little more color and warmth to the material.

Looking inside is the first step.......2007-04-26

How do you know what's right for you if you don't know who you are? This book will help you take the steps you need to find your inner self -- your soul. It's very non-airy fairy -- it's a very well-grounded, practical book about how to get there. As Holland points out when telling a story about an artist friend, you probably already *are* in the flow and connecting with your soul more than you know. The book is filled with straight-forward yet highly effective ways to reach out to your soul...through gratitude, through love, through keeping a dream journal. The author also share snippets from his own life and his own path, allowing the reader to experience how he found *his* path.

Power of the Soul: Inside Wisdom for an Outside World.......2007-04-11

This is the best book I have read from John Holland. John has a beautiful mature way of describing and educating people to a world that is not visible to many humans today. This book is one I will keep for my spiritual resource Library. I enjoyed especially hearing his positive life experiences with the spirit world.

Book Description

Create Powerful Changes in Your Life, with the Energy of Your Own Self-Esteem

What is self-esteem? A type of confidence? Or something far greater? On Self-Esteem, Caroline Myss casts a new light on this often misunderstood subject, redefining self-esteem as an actual "core power" that is essential to our evolutionary progress. In fact, Myss teaches, your potential for success in life is determined by how greatly you "esteem" or value who you truly are. Beginning with a look at its roots in childhood, and branching into the real world of daily experience - including finances, relationships, and spirituality - Myss illustrates the incredible changes that come when we nourish this life-giving force. Building on her revolutionary bestsellers Anatomy of the Spirit and Sacred Contracts, Myss explores:

• How your strong self-esteem threatens other people - and why you must strengthen it anyway
• How your intuition, spiritual guidance, self-healing capacity, and your self-esteem all depend on each other
• PLUS special guided exercises for cultivating healthy, vibrant self-esteem, available only on this audio session, and much more

"How would your life change if your self-esteem improved?" Myss asks. Now you can find out, with this "energetic template" for radiating the quiet power of your own Self-Esteem.

Truly Helpful.......2007-07-30

"Self Esteem" has real potential to guide and teach anyone who is interested in improving their self esteem and potentially improving their lives generally. This should be taught to every teenager on the planet. It does require you to be very honest with yourself and even make a couple of minor adjustments to your physical life, nothing impossible though. I think this CD and with the support of prayer anyone could improve their lives. I really do wish this kind of knowledge was available in schools, maybe one day.

What a CD Set, one of the BEST by Caroline Myss.......2007-07-24

This CD set not only explains of how Caroline Myss views Self-Esteem, it gives insight into personal healing and emotional healing. This CD has worked in giving me inspiration on taking care of my body, mind and spirit! And each time I listen to it, it hits on what I need at the time. Then, I let it sink in and then listen to what my inner voice says about it. It has made a big difference in my life! If you only buy ONE of Caroline Myss CD sets, this should be the one.

Worthless.......2007-07-20

This was without a doubt the worst "Self-Help" book I have ever read. It
rambles and has no point and gets no where near anything telling you how to develop self-esteem. I will not purchase any additional items by this author.

Well worth the money.......2007-07-13

An excellent overview of the whole self esteem issue. Gets rid of many myths and sets up where low self esteem comes from and what you can do to make it better. Myss has made a very important contribution to the world.

A MUST HAVE.......2007-01-15

Caroline Myss is taking you step by step in the self descovering process.Deep,honest,for your own self esteem and for the benefit of your enviroment and circumstances.It is a must for all of us that are intrested in discovering the self.Without self esteem we will always stay in the shadow,in terror and sorrow.We must shine our inner light and that requires lots of work!Let's get to it!Thank you Caroline for guiding me in my work!

Call in the Geek Squad.......2007-09-28

Purporting to unveil the secret behind The Secret this book is a confused mish-mash New Age philosophy and pop psychology.

On the positive side, this book is physically quite attractive. The binder and section dividers feature lovely photographs and I thought the format was promising. The problem, however is in the contents. The author's style is clumsily self-conscious and she doesn't have an original idea.(In all fairness, there is not much new on the Law of Attraction. The trick is in a fresh presentation.) The book is packed with quotations of other people's works and song lyrics. Apparently, the author once ordered one book and another, a book of inspirational quotations, came instead She found this book wonderfully inspirational and each chapter features not just one or two quotes, but sometimes pages of them. Sorry, if I wanted to read Conversations with God I, II and III, The Nature of Personal Reality or any of the others she relies on, I would not have been reading her book. This over reliance on quotes is disruptive and contributes to the careful, term paperish effect.

This book quickly loses focus, jumping wildly from a clunky law of attraction formula to a recitation of the author's traumatic and abusive childhood and journey through different recovery modalities. While I credit her for addressing these challenges, it reads like a bad episode of Dr. Phil. It is somewhat troubling that she disparages the classic twelve step method as it does not fit within the precepts of her message.

The author refers to her higher self as "Angel". If you subscribe to the traditional definition of angels as being messengers of God, you will find his usage jarring.

If you are interested in the law of Attraction, there are many fine books that present it in an accessible manner. You can't go wrong with the classic Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Catherine Ponder. The Abraham -Hicks materials provide a contemporary look at the law of attraction as do the Attractor Factor by Joe Vitale and Lynne Grabhorn's Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting. Michale Losier's Law of Attraction workbook is simple but effective while The Sedona Method and Larry Crane's Abundance Course are superb tutorials on releasing. If you opt for this offering you will receive a really neat binder and a headache.

mind into soul.......2007-07-04

this is a great self help book if you are wanting to know how we work inside and out a must to read the exercises are amazing for me you must buy this to help you understand spirit and connect with our own power within another great self help book is the calling of your true self elizabeth anne bell this one makes loads of sense as to the spirit is already within [listen and you will find yourself]it also has self help both great reads i keep reading them over to take it all in.

Life a Complete Operating Manual.......2007-01-29

I am not quite done with this book because I am savoring every morsel. This book is what I needed to explain and guide what I have felt for years. I love the writing style of this author because it is easy to understand and her humor is exquisite. I recommend this book highly but to be enjoyable it must be read with an open mind.

Absolutely DIVINE!.......2002-02-09

I am a Metaphysician and an avid Law of Attraction (LOA) worker. One of my favorite things to do is continuously reveal to myself *evidence* of how Great Things Really Are. Lauren's book is an SPARKLING JEWEL! I totally adore how she has collected quotes & passages from throughout the ages from a huge assortment of Wise Voices and I definitely appreciate her research format of actually citing her sources (so often missing or incomplete in others' works). Her material is accurate, timely, and perfectly applicable - especially so in our current world situation. Read this book and drink from the Well of Wellbeingness. Your soul will thank you, your heart will rejoice, and your mind will have something very tangible to work with. The best part? You'll discover that your Sacred Imagination is finally free to do its thing: Make YOUR Personal Universe/Reality Delicously FUN! This is THE BOOK to savor for Deliberate Creators Everywhere :) I cannot say enough Good Things about this wonderful work. Lauren, you've made Life Easier and that's Really Fantastic!

Wow! What a life changing creation!.......2001-11-02

I have not been the same since I read this book. Lauren takes a lot of metaphysical teachings and puts them all together in one easy to read book, with practical applications. It's just amazing! I think that anyone who reads this book, and is serious about loving life and living life to it's fullest will find this "THE ONE" to get them on their way. Once you are on your way, if you falter, you can always go back through the book and re-apply it to new situations that come up. It will never be outdated.

Espontaneous Healing in Spanish..........2007-07-29

I would love very much to find Dr Weill's books, espetially Espontaneous Healing" in Español.
I would buy a few copies!!!

A reasoned resource on a subject fraught with difficulty.......2007-03-31

FULL DISCLOSURE - I have lymphoma and have been a patient of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for over three years, including a five month chemotherapy regimen.

Besides being the author of this book, which is sub-titled "How to Enhance Your Body's Natural Ability to Maintain and Heal Itself", who is Andrew Weil?

Well, he's a Harvard graduate (Botany) and Harvard medical school graduate, did an internship and then basically dropped out of the standard or orthodox medical field. Spent the next twenty years or so traipsing around the world talking with various shamans, Chinese herbalists, gurus, etc.

And he's gotten to be a very influential guy.

He has been a big proponent of natural therapies for the healing of maladies. While not opposed to allopathic or conventional medicine, Weil heavily criticizes the establishment for emphasizing "disease and it's treatment, rather than health and it's maintenance" (P. 65). He emphasizes natural healing and a variety of alternative therapies. In Weil's view, the body heals itself, it is a "healing system." And the healing system is a functional system, "not an assemblage of structures that can be neatly diagrammed" (P. 65).

Of course this is a point that has been noted by many people, and is obvious to anyone who thinks about it. If you get a cut, the cut heals itself. My son's currently broken ankle will mend itself; he has a cast on simply to protect the ankle from further damage. The cast doesn't heal the break. And the overwhelming opinion is that most cancers heal themselves; our immune system is constantly destroying abnormal cells before they get to any size or we know they are there.

Weil makes a point (P. 110) that "Treatment originates outside you. Healing comes from within."

The book is 280 pages long and divided into three parts. The first section is entitled "The Healing System" and is filled with stories and cases of people who were healed by alternative therapies. Herbs, acupuncture, aromatherapy, certain forms of classic osteopathic medicine, visualization, mind-body interactions, stuff like that.

The second and third sections are entitled "Optimizing the Healing System" - what to do to maintain good health - and "If you get sick". Weil lays out a variety of programs of preventive care. Much of it pretty basic like don't smoke and go for relaxing walks. And then stuff like using tonics and vitamins. The last section is a bit encyclopedic with short sections on various alternative approaches - Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurvedic medicine, imagery and visualization therapy, chiropractic, on and on.

What about cancer? Weil points to the three standard therapies, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, with strong reservations on the latter two. Too much of a bludgeon approach, with chemotherapy especially having possible deleterious effects on other body systems. He suggests that the ultimate "cure" for cancer will come when we figure out how to "turn on" the immune system to attack and destroy the cancer cells, which somehow escaped or inoculated themselves from the body's immune system. As mentioned above, the standard opinion now is that most cancers develop due to an immune system failure. I think his opinion on the ultimate cancer cure is pretty much the standard opinion in the conventional medical establishment.

Of course the whole problem with Weil's approaches - diet, herbs, aromatherapy, "healing touch", is that there is scarcely any real scientific evidence for the efficacy of any of these approaches. It's all anecdotal. Where are the double blind studies, the comparisons between groups - all the studies that can lend credence to the anecdotes?

Weil admits there aren't many studies, and urges the studies be done. And as one of my physicians said to me, "There are no scientific studies. On the other hand, 2,000 years of Traditional Chinese Medicine has to have something to it."

As you can imagine, Weil has some really strident critics in the medical fraternity. No sense going there in this review.

What do I think? Well, Weil is not just another New Age Wacko. Not that I'll be trading my Sloan Kettering doctors for aromatherapy any time soon. BUT I have started taking an immune system support capsule that Weil recommends (I figure it can't hurt - got it at Shoprite) as well as taking glucosamine chondroitin three times a day for my joints, rather then just the occasional pill.

A must read.......2006-10-24

In Spontaneous Healing, Dr. Andrew Weil describes his revolutionary ideas for a new type of medicine, one that is desperately needed in our times. A medicine that works in conjuction with your body's natural healing ability, without the overliance on toxic drugs (which he maintains have their definite place, but are over-prescribed). A medicine that uses the healing power nature and one's lifestyle, including physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, and integrates the best of both western type allopathic and natural healing. Medical science needs to look past the Cartesian model of the human as a series of disjointed structures, (mind, body, etc), and begin to see it as the unifed whole that wants to (and can) heal, and live, and prosper. But to do so, it needs the right conditions, which include diet, lifestyle, outlook, environment, community, etc. Spontaneous Healing lays the groundwork for living that type of lifestyle.

Healing yourself.......2006-09-04

Last year after`experiencing extreme pain in back, shoulder, and arm muscles, I puchased Spontaneous Healing, Healthy Aging, and Natural Health Natural Medicine. I wanted to discontinue the use of the drugs I was using to control the pain. I intended to heal instead. Spontaneous Healing gave me information about foods, vitamins, and supplements that enhanced the body naturally. Dr. Weil gives advice on avoiding toxins and reducing stress. I highly recommend this book and his others for natural methods that people can use to change their life-syles, manage illness, and alleviate stress to increase healing potential.

Inspiring stories, but lots of redundancy with his other work.......2006-05-31

Everyone knows who Andrew Weil is and he has certainly made a splash in the area of integrative medicine. As a Harvard trained physician, he has added enormous credibility to alternative treatments. This is a major contribution to the field of healing.

In this book, Dr. Weil presents a number of amazing and inspiring case studies of Spontaneous Healing. I read this book because my mother underwent a similar experience herself. As Dr. Weil suggests, many of the people who have had these experiences just don't go to doctors once they are healed, so they are assumed dead! This certainly fit my mom's profile because she hated going to doctors or hospitals, sometimes checking herself out in the middle of the night.

There is a lot of good information in this book on diet, optimizing your healing system, getting proper rest and having a meaningful spiritual life. However, much of this specific information is a repeat of what is presented in Eight Weeks to Optimum Health.
