Books You Can Heal Yourself: How to Use the Power of Bio-Energy in Your Life By Seka Nikolic

‘ One ordinary day at work, she had a routine exchange with a colleague who suffered from a spinal deformity that left him unable to walk. Suddenly, without any conscious thought, Nikolic was compelled to place her hands on the colleague’s shoulders. “I seemed to be controlled by a force other than that of my rational brain,” and unable to take her hands away, she relates. After several minutes, she removed her hands and the man, amazingly, rose from his wheelchair. Dazed and in shock, he muttered repeatedly, “I can walk. I can walk.” ‘

The Intention Experiment by Lynne McTaggart ” The author has once again reviewed the “frontier” science of our time, including research by Dr. Dean Radin, Dr. WilliamTiller, Dr. Fritz Popp, Dr. Gary Schwatrz and more. According to the author, what all of these scientists all have in common is that they are the vanguard for the new “science of intention.” This growing body of evidence suggests that thought is a thing — with real, measurable power and energy. Most importantly, it seems our thoughts have power over plants, animals, other humans and inanimate objects. “

Other US States Larry Dossey & Others at The International Conference on Science and Consciousness In his workshop, “Dirt and Optimism: The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things,” Larry Dossey will discuss how every week modern medicine announces the arrival of yet another “wonder drug” or “miracle procedure” to a world that is increasingly wary of such high-tech cures.

Consequently, many of us are searching for simpler methods of healing. April 20 – 25, 2007
