*** BOOKS ***

K.C. Cole, The Hole in the Universe: How Scientists Peered Over the Edge of Emptiness and Found Everything, Orlando, FL: Harcourt 2001.   $14.00   274 pp.   9 pp References 
    This highly unusual book presents an utterly engaging and easily comprehended discussion of many of the latest developments in modern physics.
    K. C. Cole explains how the apparent emptiness of space between stars and galaxies - which she calls "Nothing," must contain something that completes the equations of modern physics. Nothing also exerts a powerful force. The universe is expanding at an accelerating pace. There is no way to explain this expansion without resorting to a "hidden factor" that produces the acceleration, and Nothing fits perfectly in this gap. (I prefer to capitalize Nothing but Cole leaves it in lower case, which often produces startling and humorous statements.)

    I hope to convince the reader that nothing matters. Most of modern physics and mathematics would be unthinkable without it. The human mind we use to perceive and explore those worlds relies on notions of "nothing" in very tangible ways - creating something out of nothing as handily as it does the reverse. (p. xi)
    Space isn't empty; what we think of as empty space is permeated by powerful influences. Indeed, matter itself is only the energetic geometry of forces in empty space. (p. 69)

Francesca McCartney, PhD, Intuition Medicine: The Science of Energy, Mill Valley, CA: Academy of Intuition Studies and Intuition Medicine 2001.  8 1/2 x 11 in.   94 pp. www.intuitionmedicine.org
    This workbook provides a basic introduction to the study of intuition medicine. While it is better to have such introductions in person, this book, supplemented by a series of audiotapes, can provide a good taste of the subject.
    I am pleased to see a major emphasis given here to grounding exercises, which help to keep the student and practitioner centered and in touch with earth energies. Without this, it is very easy to get "ungrounded" and confused in doing intuitive and energy work.
    Other chapters introduce the aura and chakra energy systems for healing, colors in healing, male/female energies and more.

Healing Research, Volume II -
Consciousness, Bioenergy and Healing:
Self-Healing and Energy Medicine for the 21st Century
Daniel J. Benor, M.D.
Foreword by C. Norman Shealy, MD, PhD

AVAILABLE NOW AS PAPERBACK, CD-ROM, and eBOOK
       10% Author's discount, with FREE shipping and handling
 

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.

	SPIRAL GALAXIES IN COLLISION
	As above, so below. Civilizations in collision eventually merge. We often have a hard time seeing the broader picture, from our personal points of perspective - as stars on the stage of our life dramas.            - Daniel J. Benor, MD		Photo Credits: Debra Meloy Elmegreen (Vassar College) et al., & the Hubble Heritage Team (AURA/ STScI/ NASA)
	Billions of years from now, only one of these two galaxies will remain. Until then, spiral galaxies NGC 2207 and IC 2163 will slowly pull each other apart, creating tides of matter, sheets of shocked gas, lanes of dark dust, bursts of star formation, and streams of cast-away stars. Astronomers predict that NGC 2207, the larger galaxy on the left, will eventually incorporate IC 2163, the smaller galaxy on the right. In the most recent encounter that peaked 40 million years ago, the smaller galaxy is swinging around counter-clockwise, and is now slightly behind the larger galaxy. The space between stars is so vast that when galaxies collide, the stars in them usually do not collide.

PLEASE SUPPORT THE WHR AND IJHC NEWSLETTERS
AND THIS SITE!

WholisticHealingResearch.com and the Newsletters were created and are maintained and expanded as a labor of love and dedication to healing - without outside support.

Many have suggested charging for access to WHR and our Newsletters, but I don’t want to exclude those without means to pay. There are many visitors to WHR from parts of the world where credit cards and funds are not as readily available as they may be to you, and people urgently seeking information about healing who may not be in a space to pay for access to WHR.

Your donation of $5 (more will be gratefully accepted!) will go towards expanding the resources available on the site, to update sections of the site as new studies and progress in healing are published, and towards secretarial support so that Dr. Benor can devote more time to developing and expanding the content of the site.
