Product Description

Review
"Reading Dossey is our prescription for all those who want to keep their souls nourished in these meaning-ripe times."--Spirituality & Health
"Simultaneously joyous, amusing, insightful, profound, and challenging."--Choice
"If you believe that going fishing is good for your health and that love can be a cure for what ails you, then you see modern medicine in much the same way Dr. Larry Dossey does."--The Times -Picayune
"Larry Dossey's words of wisdom have inspired and challenged me for years. Healing beyond the Body is a sumptuous buffet of Dr. Dossey's most charming, healing, and delectable insights. There's something here for everyone--it's chicken soup for the body and soul, served with insight, intellectual rigor, and great compassion."--Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, and The Wisdom of Menopause
"Dr. Larry Dossey reveals the extraordinary range and depth of his pioneering and enchanting vision. He is this generation's Lewis Thomas."--Dean Ornish, M.D., author of Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease and Love & Survival
"The essays in Healing beyond the Body are wide-ranging and exciting--from dreams to creativity to prayer and immortality--but they all explore the nature of consciousness and its role in healing. Larry Dossey reminds us that ultimately healing is about self-discovery, self-discovery is about spirit, and spirit is about consciousness."--Ken Wilber, author of A Theory of Everything: An Integral Vision for Business, Politics, Science, and Spirituality
"Larry Dossey is wise, great-hearted, and good-humored guide on our journey toward healing ourselves and our planet. Reading hisgraceful essays on humor and love, physicians and food, physics and faith, we are informed, delighted, and transformed."--James S. Gordon, M.D., author of Manifesto for a New Medicine

Product Description
Larry Dossey insists that both the practice and teaching of modern medicine should encompass two subjects that many in the scientific establishment would rather ignore. The first is meaning. The second is nonlocality - the ability of being able to affect another, through prayer for example, at a distance and through no known medium. A third concept connects and embodies both meaning and nonlocality: mind. These essays seek to challenge and inspire readers to examine themselves and their health in a new light. Dossey examines love, prayer, laughter, creativity, dreams, hypnosis and more, and their impact on human consciousness and the healing process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healing and Consciousness, 29 Mar 2003
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This collection of essays examines how thoughts and emotions affect our bodies and the bodies of others at a distance. It is an insightful look at the relationship between science and “unscientific” topics like prayer, love, laughter, work, creativity, dreams and more, an examination of consciousness and spirituality in medicine. Everybody knows that something vital is missing in modern allopathic medicine – the role of the human mind. The author points out the deep level of ignorance within science about the origin, function and destiny of human consciousness. But at last we are moving toward a vision of consciousness that liberates the mind from its identification with the physical brain and body. Of course, the implications for medicine are vast. He refers to the ideas of Jung, Ken Wilber, Erwin Schrödinger, David Bohm and Rupert Sheldrake and makes a valid case for the fact that our power to heal and be healed extends beyond our physical bodes. The essays fall into the three categories Meaning, Mind and Nonlocality, and the book concludes with a bibliography, a section on sources and an index. This is a classic and I recommend it to all who are interested in holistic or spiritual healing and those want to take responsibility for their own health.
