The 9/11 attacks and the war in Iraq sprang in no small part from massive intelligence failures, that much is well understood.

Mit einem einfachen kinesiologischen Muskeltest kann man erkennen, ob die Lebensenergie im Krper gerade gestrkt oder geschwcht wird. Der Test zeigt, ob Faktoren wie Nahrung, Kleidung, Wohnung, Lichtquellen, Bilder, Musikstcke, Gedanken... die Lebensenergie frdern oder dmpfen. Durch Strkung (Klopfen) der Thymusdrse kann man die Energie gegebenenfalls steigern. Ein erhellender Ratgeber fr alle, die gesund und vital bleiben wollen.

John Diamond beleuchtet hier die psychischen Aspekte der Lebensenergie: Negative emotionale Zustnde (rger, Hass) reduzieren die Lebensenergie, positive Emotionen (Liebe, Vertrauen) strken sie und helfen, Belastungen zu meistern. Der Autor zeigt, wie man mit Hilfe eines einfachen Muskeltests die Lebensenergie einschtzt und strende psychische Faktoren durch positive, heilsame Emotionen ersetzt. Er stellt auch ein kurzes tgliches Affirmationsprogramm vor, mit dem man negative emotionale Zustnde ausgleichen und psychische Harmonie finden kann.
