Norman Shealy and Dawson Church. Soul Medicine: Awakening Your Inner Blueprint for Abundant Health and Energy, Santa Rosa, CA: Elite 2006. 294 pp 9 pp Refs  $24.95

Norman Shealy and Dawson Church complement each other nicely in this lively and enlightening discussion on many of the roads to healing. Some chapters are authored by each, others appear (by implication of no identifying author) to have been written jointly.

The premise of soul medicine is this: We allow the perfect consciousness of health contained in the soul to express freely in the patient’s energy system. Through this intention, healing is triggered in heart, mind and body. (p. 31)

Shealy contributes his wealth of knowledge about medical aspects of Soul Medicine, including bioelectrical and nutritional therapies. What is most impressive about Shealy’s work, teaching and writing is that he walks his own talk. He checks out the therapies he recommends on himself, to the extent possible. What is even more impressive is that Shealy is looking younger each year, following the regimen he lays out in this and in his other books.

Church contributes his personal and researched understanding of the spiritual side of the healing spectrum, including several startling physical healings effected personally through spiritual healing.

Dean Radin. Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences in a Quantum Reality, New York: Paraview Pocket Books/ Simon & Schuster 2006.  357 pp.  $14.00  40 pp notes

This is not just an interesting book, it is an important one. Radin has brought together evidence and concepts that bridge the fields of quantum physics and consciousness in a way that should be comprehensible to experts in both fields.

Entanglement is the interlinking of particles in quantum physics in ways that are as yet unexplained, but which demonstrate in a variety of experiments that the separation of space between particles does not hinder their interactions. Entanglement is also another way of stating the fact that minds interact across space and time, as has been amply confirmed by parapsychologists in highly significant studies of telepathy, clairsentience, precognition and psychokinesis.
