Eric Robins is a medical doctor who learned the skills from Master Co and began achieving extraordinary results in a variety of hospital and clinical settings. These stories of healing are wonderfully inspiring — even those familiar with working with subtle energies will be amazed and perhaps emboldened to take their healing to a new level — Your Hands Can Heal You is that good!

Meditation Meditation and the Psychic Senses: The Keys to the Universe
I have had countless experiences over the years of first-hand communion with a number of spiritual Masters. Although I may have held a deep desire in my heart to have such an experience, it was never anything I was consciously working on creating. In truth I am a very skeptical person and each time I have had an experience, my nature has required me to work hard on integrating the event and not discarding it as never happening.
