Product Description

Gain an inside look at the molecular drama being staged within every cell of the human body-and a glimpse into the future of medicine-with Your Body Is Your Subconscious Mind. In her groundbreaking research, Dr. Candace Pert-a featured scientist in the fi lm What the Bleep Do We Know!?-has unlocked the secret of how emotions literally transform our bodies and create our health. Now, in her own words, this bestselling author and world-class neuroscientist describes her extraordinary search over the past two decades for the grail of the body's inborn intelligence. Building on the material described in her landmark book, Molecules of Emotion, Dr. Pert describes how our emotions directly infl uence the body's production of "information molecules," such as peptides and their receptors that regulate every aspect of human physiology. From the wisdom of the body to the wisdom of the laboratory, Your Body Is Your Subconscious Mind takes you on a scientifi c adventure of the fi rst order, escorted by this pathfi nder, iconoclast, and "goddess" of neuroscience.

Absolutely Fascinating!
I couldn't stop listening until I finished the tapes. It has changed the way I view myself. As a physicist I can feel her frustration in having experiences which can not be explained by our current reductionist approach. The first step in understanding is having the imagination to reach and the courage to share one's visions. This is why so many physicists ultimately turn into mystics. Compare this audio tape to the "Molecules of Emotion" tape which she made only 3 years ago to see just how far she has evolved personally from her insights. What stronger validation would anyone need? Perhaps you will share in this benefit. Science, too, must evolve in the coming millenium and I believe she is at the forefront...

Wonderful
Contrary to reviews I have read about this book of the same name, I found this tape fascinating in every way. Dr. Pert has an enjoyable and entertaining way of putting her information forward without losing you in the process. Deepak Chopra fans will love this tape...

Title is Misleading
As a student of psychoanalysis there is very little in this CD that relates to the subconscious or unconscious mind and it's affects on the body. The problem is that this CD has been mistitled. Perhaps if it had been a more honest title I would not have been so disappointed.

Anyway, I wasn't expecting it to be anything psychoanalytic. What I was really expecting and hoping for was more of a spirit/mind/health theme as shown in the movie "What the Bleep".

Pert mostly discusses how to have a healthy body by living a more natural life--eating right, exercising, getting fresh air--all things we know and are VALID but NOT what was suggested in the title.

She focuses these CD's not on the fact that negative thoughts are the reason for illness but that our harmful physical environment is the cause--for example she mentions that drinks contained in plastic bottles may be a main culprit in the development of breast cancer. It's interesting information but there is little of the mind/body connection talk going on here.

There is a booklet that comes with these CDs which contains a couple mentions of Freud, an incomplete glossary of the difficult to understand science behind her work and information on Chakras which were not discussed at all in the audio CD leaving one to wonder "what do I do with this information"?

It is interesting to note that at one point when the interviewer ask Dr. Pert to discuss her spirituality she nervously mentions the word "soul" as though it were a problem and then goes on to say that it is the word that "scientists are not allowed to utter".

July 8, 2006--I would like to say that I have seen the new version of "What the Bleep--Down the Rabbit Hole". I found Pert to be much more informative regarding how our thoughts affect our bodies and I was much more satisfied with what she said in the movie than what she had to say in the audio CD's.
