Description
There is growing interest world wide in the field of mind-body medicine and the effect which the natural energy forceswithin the body play in the maintenance of normal health and wellbeing. This in turn has led to interest in how these energies or forces may be channelled to assist in healing and restoration to health. This book, written by a well known scientist with a degree in biophysics and a PhD in biology, brings together for the first time evidence from a wide range of disciplines which is beginning to provide an acceptable explanation for the energetic exchanges that take place in all therapies
Energy Medicine provides an exciting and challenging read for anyone who may be interested in or curious about the therapeutic aspects of energy.It provides a stimulus to discussion among both the sceptics and those who are already convinced of the healing potential of body energy.
