THE CHANGING MIND-BODY PARADIGM

Some suggested reading and viewing if you are interested in exploring the changing paradigm are:

Most of the following are available from www.amazon.com and www.amazon.co.uk. For the Bruce Lipton DVD you may have to go to his own website.

The Field – The quest for the secret force of the universe by Lynn McTaggart published by Harper Collins. A. well-written update on a lot of research that it just outside the mainstream. It you are very left-brained, this will help open your mind to many ideas and to research that do not quite fit the Western hard science way of thinking, but cannot just be explained away or ignored. Blow your mind with this one.

Molecules of Emotion by Candace Pert. Part autobiography and part some of the hard science behind Mind-body and her own contribution to it. A fascinating and easy-to-read paperback.

Everything You need to Know to Feel Good by Candace Pert. More as above but covers a lot of other ideas about consciousness.

The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton. Published by Mountain of Love/Elite Books. Bruce, one of the founders of the new biology, starts from a conventional science base (teaching biology to medical students in an renowned US university) and ends up re-writing our understanding of genetics and DNA. This may well also blow your mind. It is not New Age belief stuff and it is not speculation. Bruce argues from science facts and research.

The Biology of Perception The Psychology of Change by Bruce Lipton on DVD. A filmed lecture covering a lot of the same ground as the Biology of Belief but with working models. You really have to concentrate but it is worth the effort.

The Wisdom of Your Cells audio CD series by Bruce Lipton. Copy this to your ipod and absorb in bits when you have some spare time. Again covers much of the same ground as the book and DVD above but goes further and more slowly. If you find the DVD a stretch you will probably find the CDs easier to assimilate and digest.

The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention by Dawson Church, Gary Craig, founder of EFT says of it: “Once in a great while, an expansive book traces the connections between seemingly disconnected fields of science to produces a brilliant new synthesis. This work, linking genetics, electromagnetism, medicine and social change, is a monumental feat of scholarship and imagination and provides a fascinating glimpse of the exciting possibilities that lie ahead.”

What The Bleep Do We Know? Documentary on DVD about quantum consciousness and some of the people contributing ideas to this movement. The latest version runs to five DVDs with extended interviews with some of the contributors to the original.

The Heart Speaks -the secret language of healing by Dr Mimi Guarneri’ ‘ A conventionally-trained Cardiologist Reveals how her heart patients gradually taught her of the importance of love and connection for good health. Good account of some fascinating mind-body research. A favourite with my students. Direct from www.visionpaperbacks.co.uk
