Soul Medicine: Awakening Your Inner Blueprint For Abundant Health and Energy

by C. Norman Shealy

The cutting edge of medicine today is not to be found in invasive therapies like drugs and surgeries. It is in the disciplines that used to be regarded as "soft" prayer, intention, energy healing, acupressure, and similar therapies. Overwhelming evidence from hundreds of scientific studies are showing that these safe, non-invasive approaches are often more effective, sometimes many times more effective, than conventional medicine. Two of the pioneers in the field, Dr. Norman Shealy, founder of the American Holistic Medical Association and world-famous neurosurgeon, and Dr. Dawson Church, one of the foremost writers and researchers in vibrational healing and the editor or author of many books on the subject, explain the fundamentals of energy medicine, its many applications to common ailments, and the latest scientific research. * Solidly grounded in scientific research, this book has the the very latest studies on the remarkable effectiveness of energy medicine. * Exciting therapies can help conditions that are completely beyond the scope of conventional medicine, such as autoimmune diseases. * Develops the next stage of the ideas on DNA and consciousness found in Bruce Lipton's best-seller, The Biology of Belief , and is endorsed by him.

3.4 — a bit of a wacky but still interesting topic. Can’t remember how I learned about this book but I ordered it a few years ago. Glad I read it and it had a couple interesting nuggets for sure but wouldn’t exactly recommend it to the larger population

In North America, where there is much talk of the healthcare crisis, we clearly need a new paradigm. Many cultures today, including some branches of so-called Western medicine, are beginning to recognize that healing the body is essentially connected with healing the mind, the emotions and the spirit. Research into the ancient history of sacred healing explains how this works and how the contemporary healer can apply these principles, often reducing the need for invasive surgeries and powerful drugs.

As a cancer survivor, I found Soul Medicine to be an inspiring book that offers hope as it describes energy healing and its applications for the average reader. It is a particularly encouraging read for anyone who is grappling with chronic illness, simply interested in good health, or who is care taking a suffering friend or family member. Western medicine has limits and a new consciousness can often take us beyond those limits. Through their own clinical examples, authors Shealy and Church, a neurosurgeon and health researcher respectively, show us how we can all access such healing and improve our lives. They also cite clinical studies that show improved recovery time and greater instances of complete healing in surgical patients who are given various forms of energy healing, once their allopathic treatment is completed.

In spite of the research and thousands of anecdotal accounts, the authors point out that Western medicine is slow to recognize or even acknowledge what many patients know to be true – that the body is made to heal and that each of us has an “inner blueprint” that will take us back to physical health, if the mind and spirit receive the right kind of support. One section of the book is devoted to actions the authors believe will accelerate the pace of change and how soul medicine will look in the future.

They write:

“The pendulum has only begun its swing in the direction of soul medicine. The forces adding momentum to its movement are the exhaustion of the old system, its impossible costs, its inability to treat many systemic conditions, its lack of soul, and the enthusiasm of patients for soul medicine.”

This book, while definitely engaging for the average reader, is actually the prescription for our healthcare crisis. It ought to be required reading for our government health departments, doctors and medical students as well.

Ah ha… so good to see more alternative medical works on the power of the mind!
Soul medicine as primary care? Yes. You will have to read how this can happen.
Energy healing starts with opening your mind.
Energy follows thoughts and intentions are everything.
Shealy, a neurosurgeon and Dawson, a clinical researcher, explains how future medicine can be more about the mind and spirit and less about medications!
This book is well researched, well written and encapsulates the history of energy healing, its mechanisms, and a “how to” self-help tool for your own personal growth. There is a fabulous chapter on how acupuncture works in electromagnetic terms.
“Magic precedes science.” I was fascinated to read about outstanding healers of our time in conjunction with medical research proving the effectiveness of energy trials.
The book has many clinical and case studies that will educate you, and keep you turning pages for more information. It’s packed with interesting and empowering information to help you learn more.
I thought I knew a lot about the mind, body, spirit, but was happy to discover new variations on the theme.
This book is useful to the layperson, the medical community and anyone discouraged and dissatisfies with their western medicine protocols.
Life can be so much more and this book discusses how and why.
Great read!
This was a complimentary review copy.
