Quantum Healing: Exploring the Frontiers of Mind/Body Medicine

Quantum Healing - Exploring The Frontiers Of Mind-Body Medicine by Deepak Chopra, M.D. is fascinating foray into the fusion of the mind and the body in respect to the healing possibilities to be had.Chopra sifts through some studies, as well as uses examples known to him to showcase that the power of the mind is vital in healing. In fact, in some cases it could be said to be the main driver in someone's ability to heal.Although this particular book was published over two decades ago, the information still holds as true now as it did back then. Serendipitously, more and more studies have come about showing the inherent link between the mind and body and how that can play a crucial role in the art of healing.Unfortunately, the opposite is also true. While the author doesn't discuss this, it has been discussed elsewhere however. Individuals that allow their thoughts to err into more detrimental states can set themselves up for failure at the outset. Or sometimes, doctors will tell people that "they can't be cured" as happens to so many, and people run with those beliefs [and they are beliefs, because this has been proven wrong a lot more than people realize, and am a living example of this myself] all the way beyond the cliff's edge.One of my favorite parts of the book, although not explored at length, was delving into the power of meditation. As some of you may know, meditation has outstanding healing powers, and it has helped me in conquering disease. It wasn't used by itself however, but it was an integral component in my healing repertoire and will always will be part of my life. Let's digress, though.In its totality, the book was good, but not great. If you've researched this subject the book won't have a lot that you probably won't know, or have already come to the conclusion too yourself. If you haven't however, this book features information that should be pondered deeply by society, for its implications spawn at warp speed and its ramifications are deep in scope.As a side note, a new revised and updated version is available. Although haven't read it myself, it might be a decent jump-off point for individuals seeking additional information.Regardless, please keep in mind, the thoughts we plant in our minds ultimately may grow into healing, or disease.

I am so thankful for this book by Chopra.What I especially enjoyed was his description of the quantum intelligence within us.He explains that our bodies cells naturally regenerate over time--time and time again. A traumatic event that he/she experiences at one point in time can be relived dozens of years later--and can be truly re-experienced emotionally as if the trauma has just again occurred. Chopra poses the question ' if the cells that were present during the actual traumatic event have since died and have been regenerated--where then is the being drawing the emotions from the past from?'...(I ask not to be quoted as I am not quoting Chopra word for word).This idea stirred within me a great sense of awareness.Our bodies truly are extensions of something much much greater than what our physical senses are able to reveal. If our eyes could sense radiation, our physical experiences and thus perceptions and thus realities would change...What then is our reality?I was left feeling fully content and satisfied with knowing--we know nothing--not really anyway...I am comfortable and even more excited about life--because I know for certain this physical life is simply just one form of that which we human beings call 'physical life.'We are quantum beings having a dense physical experience...and our perceptions--or shall I say--what we choose to perceive alone dictate our realities.What we focus upon--will ultimately define that which we define as reality....Namaste...

An essential read for all. Our own capacity to heal our own bodies and minds is far greater than we have been led to believe. Re-awaken your capacity.

I relate in this book from my own experiences , the body can and will completely heal its self ,one atom ⚛ and cell at a time

This book made me a Chopra fan. I have read other books on quantum physics and how it relates to reality and spirituality but none that adapt it to health. This is not the easiest book to pick up and start reading if you don't already have some passing familiarity with quantum physics; however, it may change the way you view your body and how you approach your own healing. All science is decades old by the time it is in useful practice by the mainstream. This book can help you make a "quantum leap" forward and inform your decisions. It's highly recommended.

It's another great book written by Deepak. The beauty of this book is that unlike many other spiritual books, it uses many specific scientific researches, theories, case studies to support the theory versus to ask you to just feel "God"! Strongly recommend this book to people who need hard evidence to open the door to spirituality or people who would like some scientific evidence to back to their spirituality. It has also opened my eyes to understand the mind body connection from a brand new angle.

There is an updated version I didn’t know about. I can tell this information is dated. Quite a few of his theories have shown to be true. So I guess I’ll get the updated version.....I’m not learning much.

Throughout my many years of study of comparative religions, I have encountered documentation of "miraculous" healing in the scriptures and historical texts of numerous cultures and belief systems, Christianity included (remember, Jesus healed). It is encouraging and enlightening to find that someone is presenting evidence of the connection between these timeless "practices" and current science and medicine. Great book to read along with Superbrain and Perfect Health, also by Chopra.

Heavy going. A lot of 'talking' without 'saying' much. Struggled to get 1/3 of the way through then had to put it aside. Will have to come back to it later.

Very well written and an inspiration for every single person going forward.A really good read for those interested in alternative medicine!

Interesting and informative

More people should read about the mindbody connection and how we can improve our health.

A classic insight into the power of the mind and body.
