“Become a good noticer. Pay attention to the feelings, hunches, and intuitions that flood your life each day. If you do, you will see that premonitions are not rare, but a natural part of our lives.”
Larry Dossey, The Power of Premonitions: How Knowing the Future Can Shape Our Lives

“Eventually it became clear that our emotions, attitudes, and thoughts profoundly affect our bodies, sometimes to the degree of life or death. Soon mind-body effects were recognized to have positive as well as negative impacts on the body. This realization came largely from research on the placebo effect—the beneficial results of suggestion, expectation, and positive thinking.”
Larry Dossey, Reinventing Medicine: Beyond Mind-Body to a New Era of Healing

“When our focus is toward a principle of relatedness and oneness, and away from fragmentation and isolation, health ensues”
Larry Dossey, Space, Time, and Medicine: Foreword by Fritjof Capra
