Quantum Physics of Quantum Healing

by Deepak Chopra

How is it that two patients can receive exactly the same medical treatment, yet one succumbs to disease while the other recovers completely? What causes some people to experience spontaneous remissions—unexplained recoveries in the absence of treatment? And is there some way we can produce these seemingly miraculous results at will?

Theoretical physicist Amit Goswami, Ph.D., joins Deepak Chopra, M.D., to ponder these questions from an unlikely perspective as they merge the concepts of quantum physics with ancient Ayurvedic traditions and modern western medicine.

Ayurveda teaches that the mind creates disease. If so, can the mind also cause healing? Quantum physics demonstrates that particles can "leap" from one location to another without crossing the space between. Could the human mind also make quantum leaps? Can we turn our desire for healing into the process of healing? In this remarkable conversation, Goswami and Chopra answer these questions and more, laying the groundwork for research that may change the way we view healing now and forever.

Reviews

[Seventenths Scubydoo · Rating 1 out of 5]

A great book for the terminally 'gullible' or lazy. Like all of Deepaks writing, self-obsessed nonsense with no basis in reality.

However, in paperback it is soft, strong and thoroughly absorbent.
