Opis

Focusing on the wealth of information emerging in the area of energy medicine, this unique resource explores mechanisms by which mind and body processes influence the body's healing and performance potential. Content draws on an extraordinary range of sources to explore theories of human energy - from physiology and biophysics, to examples drawn from the realms of "spontaneous healing," cutting-edge athletic and artistic performance, the martial arts, and various contemplative and spiritual practices. Providing new insights and theoretical models, it offers ways to apply these concepts directly, practically, and clinically.

Recenzje

"Despite its title, the book is not so much about therapeutics and human performance as 'multiple working hypotheses' for understanding this practice. Thus it is designed not so much to convince as to inquire and stimulate creative thought. A such, it is admirable as a piece of experimental writing" David Mayor, European Journal of Oriental Medicine
