Este libro construye un formidable puente que conecta la biologia convencional con los niveles mas profundos de la sanacion espiritual. La Dra. Hawkes combina en el su solida formacion cientifica con la sabiduria personal que obtuvo tras una experiencia cercana a la muerte y sus muchos anos de practicar las artes de la sanacion alternativa. En el nos muestra como la ciencia y la espiritualidad pueden coexistir de forma pacifica, enriqueciendose mutuamente.
This book was published in 2006, the same year as "The Secret" I believe. It's fascinating how great minds think on parallel planes. I read both around that time and put them on my shelf. Since then I've read a considerable number of books all on the same topic but basically under different headings. It's finally starting to sink in that they may have a point! Our deep seated enculturation is ingrained every day by circumstances that we've learned to view a "set" way. We've all been misinformed about the facts of our true nature. The new zeitgeist of "thought" activation is becoming more prevalent today, however. People are beginning to accept different views like the ones in this little book about cells. It is well written, thought provoking and well organized.
Joyce Hawkes has the ability to write complex ideas in simple ways for those "AhHa" moments! Our cells are the "go between" reality and non-reality or between local and non-local events. As I understand it the nano-space between the atoms in our cells unites with energy to perpetually create or recycle cells. This nano-space is like Roshi's "Nothing", Einstein's "Mind of God" or Mindell's ProcessMind. The reproduction or recycling of cells happens so rapidly it can not be compared to anything we "know" in linear time. We can no longer define in words what takes place. Our cells go into a "quantum reality", a sort of non-locality meaning they can be here or everywhere at the same time. The author doesn't exactly go into detail about non-locality probably because it's a concept that many people are not ready to grasp.
I found the beginning of the book especially interesting. She basically gives her routine meditations for some specific ailments in the later part of the book. It's well worth the read!
This is a great book for people like me who are practitioners of Energy Medicine. I read this all the way through this first time and I know I will be referring to it a lot in my practice. There were some great exercises to help the person get in touch with their own natural healing process at the deep down cellular level. I am thrilled I got this book and will be using it a lot. I recommmend this for anyone who is into alternative healing.
This short book was written by a cell biologist who became a spiritual healer after a near-death experience. She describes her practice, which is something like Reiki, where she can feel blockages in the flow of life-energy and uses meditation to clear them. She includes case studies of her patients and reports some remarkably successful outcomes, including with remote healing. I found the book to be a bit disorganized, but the author demonstrates clear understanding of cellular biology, and what she writes aligns with other sources I have read on vital energy and spiritual healing. The book includes helpful meditation/visualization guides and some nice photographic plates.
A surprise gift from a friend. Reading about Dr. Hawkes NDE and her call to healing is a wonderful affirmation of my own personal beliefs. I particularly find helpful the "Bridge to Healing" guide and meditations. So helpful!!!
Many 'spiritual' books lack substance. This work if far better than most, illustrating the perceived truths the author asserts with observations from physics and biology. Providing helpful but not overly dogmatic exercises is a plus. Highly recommended.
If you believe in mental healing, even if as a placebo or as a spiritual practice, this book is very helpful!! Especially because she has suggestive exercises you can do for yourself at home. ( my favorite aspect and my honest advice.) Ms Hawkes was a renown biologist and holds a position of fellow in American Association for the Advance of Science. Would give this a ten if possible.
Really inspired by this book, and working on daily meditations now which I will soon move into healing meditations. Trying my best to stay out of knee surgery #4 .. at least trying to not go through soon as wedding is coming up in a few months!
Hoping some positive healing thoughts and meditation will keep me healthy at least for another few months, if not longer!
This book was so inspiring and well-written!
I checked it out from the library but am considering purchasing a copy to keep at home for future reference and enjoyment.
Joyce Hawkes, after having a near-death experience, changed her work from being a scientist into becoming a healer. This book discusses cell biology, and how cells make up your body, and how you can use that knowledge to aid in self and spiritual healing.
Very interesting book. It marries spirituality and science. I liked it well enough to highlight and make notes all over the place. It's a book I would definitely read again!
