A path to understanding quantum energies

I have been gently and slowly working through these exercises for the last two years. Like the twelve week exercises in Julia Cameron's The Artists Way, it takes more than just a few weeks to absorb all the lessons that can be learned from this book. Though I was at first resistant to some of the material, I have found that it has proven trustworthy over time. Offers excellent insight into the mind/body/spirit connection through the lens of quantum physics, shamanism, consciousness research, and systems theory. I have recently found confirmation of the validity of this work in my study of the healing arts. An excellent companion for the creative artist as well as the spiritual pilgrim.

This book of life/living: powerful journey of transformation

This is an excellent book dealing with the expanded possibilities of the mind and `consciousness' from a Shamanic point of view. Don't let the word Shaman or any such thing put you off - within psychology and the study of the mind, there are patterns and different ways of explaining similar or even identical things. This is one such case.Leslie Kenton introduces us to the concept of using the abilities of our mind to free ourselves from tension, worries and to create for ourselves time, compassion and a greater sense of being. This is done over seven chapters, where recent ground-breaking research through science, physics, quantum mechanics, philosophy, biology and psychology [to name a few] are combined with the old traditions of shamans [not the weird people TV makes us believe, but like people with insight and understanding, purpose and a passion for life, who know where they are going!].This book is self-help, because it then leads you on a daily, thirteen-week journey of shifting your state of mind and outlook on life, through a series of `mind journeys.' Once again, traversing the realms of the mind is nothing new, nor is it a `new religion sweeping the nation' [it never asks or implies to change your beliefs, etc. the course and your beliefs/ religion work in conjunction with each other].The mind has different states: Alpha, Beta, Theta, Delta and each one serves their own purpose. We are in Delta mind state when sleeping and a peak state of learning is achieved when in Alpha state. Leslie [or rather her book] leads you through 13 steps [one large step a week - trust me, they are big ones!] that teach you to harness the power of your unconscious mind and use it to your advantage. As afore mentioned this book teaches unlocking the unconscious mind from the shamanic point of view. For example, Soaring to the Heavens [Quantum Leap 4 of Leslie book] is similar to achieving an Alpha state of mind and going to a higher region of the brain.Overall, even if you do not do the exercises within this book, it is still an interesting read for those of you with an open mind and a willingness to create a better life for yourself. It has made a difference in my life and my outlook on life indefinitely. The book is set out in an easy-to-read fashion with very inspirational, if not also encouraging, quotes that keep you fully engaged in the book/course.
