Quantum Healing
About This Book
This is an extraordinary new approach to healing by an extraordinary physician-writer - a book filled with the mystery, wonder, and hope of people who have experienced seemingly miraculous recoveries from cancer and other serious illnesses. Dr Deepak Chopra, a respected New England endocrinologist, began his search for answers when he saw patients in his own practice who completely recovered after being given only a few months to live. In the mid-1980s he returned to his native India to study Ayurveda, humanity's most ancient healing tradition. Now he has brought together the current research of Western medicine, neuroscience, and physics with the insights of Ayurvedic theory to show that the human body is controlled by a 'network of intelligence' grounded in quantum reality. Not a superficial psychological state, this intelligence lies deep enough to change the basic patterns that design our physiology - with the potential to defeat cancer, heart disease, and even aging itself. In this inspiring and pioneering work, Dr Chopra offers us both a fascinating intellectual journey and a deeply moving chronicle of hope and healing.
What You'll Learn
• Understand the spontaneous remission cases Chopra presents: what specific features these cases share, what they suggest about the conditions under which the body's own intelligence can resolve conditions that conventional treatment cannot — and why conventional medicine has been reluctant to study these cases systematically
• Grasp the 'quantum body' concept: how Chopra uses the insights of quantum physics metaphorically to describe a level of the body's organisation that is more fundamental than biochemistry — an informational or consciousness level at which the body's structure and function are determined before they are physically expressed
• Recognise the Ayurvedic framework underlying quantum healing: how the Vedic concept of the body as a quantum-level field of intelligence corresponds to the insight that disease originates at a level of organisation that is subtler than the molecular level that conventional medicine targets
• Learn the consciousness-body feedback loops: how specific qualities of awareness (fear, hope, surrender, joy) create specific physiological responses — and how the deliberate cultivation of healthful states of awareness can therefore support rather than merely accompany the body's healing processes
• Appreciate the integrative vision: how Quantum Healing attempts to bring together the best of both Western scientific understanding and Ayurvedic wisdom into a model of healing that is more complete than either alone — one that can account for the anomalies (spontaneous remission, placebo effects, the healing power of meditation) that the purely biochemical model cannot explain
