Guided Imagery for Self-Healing: An Essential Resource for Anyone Seeking Wellness, 2nd. ed.
By Martin L. Rossman
Tiburon, CA: H J Kramer Book, 2000
280 pp $14.96 11pp Refs.

Martin Rossman, medical doctor and holistic healthcare pioneer, presents an easy to follow guide with very specific scripts for connecting to the inner wise part of one’s being, which he terms the ’Inner Advisor.’  Using scripts to dialogue with the mind and body, the meditator gains essential information in support of health and well-being.  This book is an invaluable asset to the Intuitive Spiritual Director/Counselor, as well as to the individual in pursuit of self-healing. Rossman’s complementary approach provides inner communication, spiritual contact, inspiration, insight, and direction to the professional and layperson alike.

Where the individual is usually familiar with the conscious thoughts and desires prevalent in the left brain, there may not be a balanced brain approach which integrates the unconscious needs and desires experienced in the right brain.  Using imagery allows the individual to communicate with the right side of the brain to integrate conflicting thoughts and feelings.  “Imagery gives the silent right brain a chance to bring its needs to light and to contribute its special qualities to the healing process” (p. 23).  Offering a highly personal form of communication, this inner dialogue enriches the healing process with informative symbols.

Crop Circle Year Book 2005
By Steve Alexander and Karen Alexander
Gosport, Hampshire, UK: Temporary Temple Press 2005
£12.29

The crop circles this year are again breathtaking in their beauty and complexity of designs. These are a challenge to our understanding of the world. There is no way that these enormous creations could be man-made. There are simply too many of them and they appear too quickly to allow for this hypothesis to hold. So far, no one has yet come up with a clear explanation for how they can be created, nor has there been any clarity on who creates them.

The most fascinating aspect of this phenomenon, to this reviewer, are the apparent interactions of the regular investigators of these circles with whatever intelligence is creating them. As the investigators muse upon aspects of their perceived progressions in these designs, and speculate on which way the next ones may appear, the next ones sometimes incorporate elements of these speculations.

Healing Research, Volume III
PERSONAL SPIRITUALITY: Science, Spirit and the Eternal Soul
By Daniel J. Benor, MD
Foreword by Stanley Krippner, PhD
Medford, NJ: Wholistic Healing Publications, November 2006
600 pp - 8 Tables - 11 Figures

Awaken to your personal spirituality!

• Participatory intelligent design, a researched theory that can be tested scientifically
• Research and heartwarming personal reports confirming Out-of-Body, Near-Death, and Pre-Death Experiences, reincarnation memories, channeled messages, and the common experience of personal visists from people who died
• Personal spiritual expereinces that many people have and that you can have too
• Research on religious affiliation and practice--which are proven to be good for your health!

Many healers hold spiritual aspects of healing to be even more important than physical changes. Science has been skeptical of subjects like spirituality that it cannot measure and which it considers, pejoratively, to be 'mystical.'

Volume III reviews fascinating scientific research that supports many of the reports of healers and mystics, including out-of-body experiences (OBE), near-death experiences (NDE), reincarnation, apparitions, nature spirits and angels. mediumistic (channeled) experiences, possession, psychic surgery, mystical and spiritual experiences. Studies confirm many of these phenomena and there is evidence for survival of the spirit after death. Studies also confirm that religious affiliation and practice are correlated with better health.

Spiritual awareness and healing awaken and strengthen our personal connection to transcendent realms of being. We are all intimate parts of the All, and participate in the creation of spiritual realities. We are part of the collective consciousness that guides evolution through participatory intelligent design. This is a hypothesis that can be tested, and for which there is already considerable evidence.

Through personal spirituality we sense our intimate connection and relationship with each other - both personally and across cultural and national boundaries. Through personal spirituality we sense our part in the world of Nature - and can respond to the needs of our local and planetary environment. We can bring peace and healing to our world at all levels.

Healing Research, Volume II - Professional Edition
Consciousness, Bioenergy and Healing
Self-Healing and Energy Medicine for the 21st Century
By Daniel J. Benor, MD
Foreword by C. Norman Shealy, MD, PhD
Wholistic Healing Publications, Medford, NJ
711 pages, including 137 pages of references

This book will dramatically broaden and deepen your understanding of health, illness and healing.

    Consciousness: We have far greater potential for healing ourselves and each other than we generally appreciate. Dr. Benor, a wholistic psychiatrist, explains how mind-body and body-mind interactions can cause illness or promote health through wholistic interactions of body, emotions, mind, relationships (with other people and the environment) and spirit.  An enormous body of research, clinical examples and a variety of theories explain healing through complementary/ alternative medicine (CAM), including meditation, visualization, acupuncture, osteopathy and many more modalities, with clear and concise explanations of each of these healing modalities. 
    Bioenergy: Newtonian medicine has been slow to absorb the lessons of quantum physics: The body can be addressed not only as matter, but also as energy. Subtle biological energies are used by many CAM therapies -- some moving through the hands of the therapist, others through specialized interventions explained by Dr. Benor. Acupuncture addresses energies in acupuncture points, along meridians running from head to toes, and in chakras -- the body's energy regulating centers. Homeopathy and flower essences introduce energies and information through the water that is their vehicle for treatment. Does all this sound strange? Dr. Benor has gathered an amazing body of research in this book to confirm the healing potentials of these subtle bioenergy therapies -- explaining some of the roles of our energy body. 
    Biological energies interact with environmental energies. Dr. Benor reviews a wealth of research on unconventional energies and considers their relevance to spiritual healing -- following on Volume I of Healing Research, which reviews 191 controlled studies of healing, demonstrating it is a highly effective treatment.
    Healing: Dr. Benor explains how we can create health or illness through body-mind interactions, wholistic CAM and bioenergy medicine interventions. He reviews and discusses impressive research supporting claims that CAM and bioenergy therapies are potent and effective treatments.
