Description

Explores the wealth of evidence for the reality of the biofield

Describes how energy therapies are now gaining acceptance due to irrefutable proof of their effectiveness for clinical conditions from PTSD to phantom limb pain

Examines the power of group energetics and team chemistry in sports and in society

Explains how megalithic sacred sites are aligned with Earths subtle energies and explores the energetics of crop circles and global consciousness

Examining the wealth of evidence supporting the reality of the human biofield, Eric Leskowitz, M.D., explores the role of life energy in healing therapies and outlines its many manifestations at the individual, group, and global levels. He shows how energy therapies have been taboo in the West, from the French Royal Academys suppression of Franz Mesmers animal magnetism, to the FDAs persecution of Wilhelm Reich and his orgone box therapy, to Wikipedias biased coverage of energy psychology. He then reveals irrefutable evidence for the clinical benefits of energy-based therapies and describes the obstacles he faced in his own attempts to bring these holistic approaches into the world of academic medicine.

The authors detailed exploration of phantom limb pain shows that this phenomenon is not a psychosomatic creation of the brain but is a tangible energetic structure: the human biofield in action. Exploring group energetics and team chemistry, he looks at how group situations a concert, a meditation retreat, a sporting eventcreate their own energetic power. He shares the results of his innovative computer measurements during Red Sox baseball games, proving that group energies can be detected when fans become entrained in resonance to the larger field. He explores how Stonehenge and other megaliths were built in alignment with Earths own energy meridians, and he proposes that the mysterious phenomenon of crop circles may be emerging in harmony with Earths subtle energies.

Blending hard science with ancient healing wisdom, the author reveals how we can all thrive together by remembering our shared energetic roots and our undeniable interconnectedness through the global web of life energy and consciousness itself.
