Cell-Level Healing: The Bridge from Soul to Cell [Hardcover]

Joyce Whiteley Hawkes (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 17, 2006

Our bodies glow with the miracle of life pulsing in 100 trillion cells. Spiritual resources can positively influence the wizardry of our natural cell science that repairs and renews the body. Cell-Level Healing: The Spiritual Bridge From Soul to Cell provides instruction at the interface of biology and spirit.

While Masaru Emoto shows us that our thoughts change the structure of water, Dr. Hawkes shows that our thoughts change the functioning of our cells.

Profoundly effective, yet simple to understand and use, the principles of appreciation, clearing, flow, and cell-level healing described and illustrated in Cell-Level Healing promote vibrant health. The book embarks on the premise that healing is a basic part of human nature, and provides a guide for the reader to tap their innate healing abilities.

Introducing the concept of cell-level healing, the book leads the reader through exercises for health and healing. Illustrated with stories, electron microscope photography, and other inspiring pictures by the author, the book shows how simple tenets of spiritual healing can be applied to individual situations.

1. Appreciation of the physical body is described through the eyes of a cell biologist with spiritual insight. Attributes of the universe that apply to healing include mystery, creativity, balance, and resiliency.

2. The principle of clearing addresses emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects.

3. A chapter on flow examines the nature of soul language or vibrational uniqueness, rate, and direction of energy movement.

4. Deepening the conscious reach of healing to the cellular level gives this book its unique place among the collection of books on healing.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Cell-Level Healing is a remarkable bridge between conventional cell biology and the far reaches of self and spiritual healing. Dr. Hawkes skillfully combines her solid scientific grounding and experience in mainstream biophysics with personal insights gained from a near-death experience and extensive training in the alternative healing arts. Hawkes beautifully demonstrates how science and spirituality can peacefully coexist and inform each other in beneficial and refreshing ways."

—Dean Radin, PhD, senior scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences

"Cell-Level Healing is quite simply the whole exciting truth about how and why our consciousness is key to our physical health and well-being."

—Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Mother-Daughter Wisdom, The Wisdom of Menopause, and Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

"Cell-Level Healing is a remarkable book. It provides the reader with a poetic and visual text on self-healing and demonstrates how science and spirituality need not be opponents but can serve as allies in the reader's transformation. Dr. Joyce Hawkes has created a delightful user-friendly volume that can be read, savored, and re-read—one that is both simple and profound."

—Stanley Krippner, PhD, Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center, co-editor of Varieties of Anomalous Experience and author of Extraordinary Dreams and How to Work with Them

“Science and spirit are brought together with beauty and discernment in this exquisite book. Joyce Hawkes offers us a vision of healing that truly manages to bridge worlds which only remain separate at our peril. ‘The Bridge from Soul to Cell’ is more than a good metaphor: it links wisdom and science and by doing so opens the way for great healing.”

—James O’Dea, president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences

“Joyce Hawkes blends and makes whole our splintered perceptions of the roles of science and spirit in healing. Her beautiful vision of how cells house the very power of the universe, speaks to a greater understanding and the interconnectedness of the spiritual in the physical. In this broader understanding, Joyce bridges the gulf between the tangible and the intangible. She offers up the potential for self-healing, always waiting within us. Her book is both art and science for healing”

—JoanC. King, PhD, professor emeritus at Tufts University School of Medicine, author of the Cellular Wisdom series

“The intrinsic nature of our being is primordially pure, luminous awareness—and mindand body are the unified expression of that reality. Dr. Hawkes’s insightful work brings a depth of scientific knowledge together with the tools for applying that understanding in a way that relieves suffering and promotes spiritual awareness. Cell-Level Healing sheds welcome light on the interdependence of our inner and outer worlds. It provides practical guidance for working with the challenges of illness while supporting our journey of personal transformation.

—Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, founder and president of Nalandabodhi and Nitartha International, author of Wild Awakening

5.0 out of 5 stars The Essence of Healing., November 27, 2006

This review is from: Cell-Level Healing: The Bridge from Soul to Cell (Hardcover)

Cell-Level Healing beautifully and clearly describes how to bridge the gap between logical, linear, scientific thought and the fluid energy of spiritual healing. This book should be read not only by those who seek an expanded spiritual path, but also by all physicians, scientists, and students of healing seeking to fine tune their intuition and find explanations for many of the "mysteries" of healing. Joyce Hawkes brilliantly shares with the reader her clear understanding of cellular structure and function and how that blends with the essence of the dynamic vital energy that animates all living things. Another important message in the book is that all who seek wellness need not yield to a specific protocol or theory, but instead should honor their uniqueness by taking personal responsibility for their own healing. I encourage the reader to read and re-read the entire book, to take no phrase or picture out of its unique context, and to contemplate their meaning. I am a medical doctor and I pray that the information in Cell-Level Healing be integrated into the core curricula of all medical schools.

Joyce Whitely Hawkes is an especially compassionate and effective healer. In her small book (both in dimension and pages - 158 including photos, appendix and index) she shares wonderful stories and great visualisations. For this reason I gave the book a general rating of 4 stars. I was disappointed however; for me personally, the book earned only 3 stars. This was because the author chooses to share very little of her expertise and experience as a cell-biologist, explaining that she could not bring her scientific thought processes into healing. She maintains that intuitive processes are more appropriate. Fair enough. But the book is promoted on the strength of her scientific credentials, not her NDE, which has influenced her healing practice far more.

In my view, the author's intuitive approach to healing need not mean that cellular description and explanation must be excluded from her account; in fact it is what would make her book unique - and very different from other faith/energy healing texts written by non-scientists. Here is a woman who, for years, observed the inner universe of the human body! More than just giving brief references, could she not have taken us on that journey with her in some way? Writers such as Candice Pert, Bruce Lipton and Carl Simonton combine both scientific and intuitive paradigms very ably.

Some readers, not wanting the intrusion of "academic" ideas, may prefer this approach, needing only the reassurance of Joyce Whitely Hawkes' biography and credentials, impressive as they are. But I wanted more: specifically to gain some understanding, in the healing process, of what I am actually co-operating with - not only energy and spirit on which the author concentrates, but also the tangible, cellular community that is my body. An illustrative 'map' of some sort would be a great asset.

References to meridian-based therapies such as EDMR are frustratingly brief (unless the reader is already familiar with them). EFT, the ultimate in energetic self-help (and growing exponentially on an international scale) is not mentioned at all.

Having said all this, I should add that I found a number of valuable pointers - for example, the idea that not everyone responds positively to the traditional colours of the chakras - something I have found arbitrary in other energy healers' explanations. I like the author's concept of a personal "soul signature" and it makes sense that its manifestation as colour can be as unique as our fingerprints.

If short on information, this book is worth reading - and keeping - for its affirmative value alone.

Attracted to this book since I was in the medical field and have been involved in energy healing for years. Could have included more medical facts, but nonetheless, author gives "practical" exercises anyone can do, along with adequate explanations of "why" they work. I dog-earned, underlined, and copied some of the colored pictures with affirmations on them to post where I could see them. Having received just prior to another back surgery, I reworked some of her visualizations/affirmations to personalize for my situation. Had such a minute amount of blood loss during very long surgery, the doctor was astounded. Lots of applicable information in this beautifully illustrated and profound book. Cellular memory and consciousness has been around for some time but maybe the credibility of the author will put this book into the hands of medical professionals who can best utilize this information for their patients for more dramatic healing results.
