Product Description

Advances in integrative medical care have made the power of positive intent one of the hottest topics in the public eye. But few if any have stepped forward with scientific evidence that intention does in fact heal. Now, pioneering psychologist Dr. Jeanne Achterberg presents Intentional Healing, a full-length audio program that provides definitive research and practical guidance on how our inner resources can profoundly benefit those in need of medical attention. Drawing on two decades of research and personal experience with thousands of patients, Dr. Achterberg outlines proven techniques for leveraging positive intent against the progression of diseases, both physical and emotional. Six fascinating CDs cover a broad range of intentional healing applications, including: * Distant healing, prayer, and energy healing--the transference of positive spiritual energy from one person to another * Transpersonal imagery--how visual and audio images evoked in the brain unlock healing responses within the body * Self-intentional healing--how to focus positive intent inward for better health. Highlighting the vital role of human interconnection across all platforms of healing, Intentional Healing gives listeners a powerful ally along the path to wellness.

From AudioFile
Achterberg offers scientific background material on intentional healing, including healing that takes place through prayer and distance healing. She is methodical in her presentation and outlines scientific research clearly, personalizing it with anecdotal evidence that she has observed and some in which she has played a part. She intensely recounts her own experience with cancer and the healing support she received after traditional medicine offered no treatment or hope. Her presentation is generally subdued and understated, emphasizing the extent to which these precepts, and related beliefs, can be integrated into "ordinary" life, as well as the extraordinary aspects of life.
