Valerie Hunt's book, INFINITE MIND, is a classic in the field of human energy fields, or bioenergetics. The research described in INFINITE MIND is on the cutting edge of exploring what we know about human energy fields. Hunt's descriptions of experiments she's conducted with aura readers and physicists make fascinating reading. For example, Hunt shares her amazing findings in the "Mu Room," in which human subjects burst into tears when the electromagnetism of the air was depleted, and regained a sense of clear thinking when the electromagnetism of the air was increased. The Mu Room is a seven foot square shielded room located in the Physics department at UCLA, where the electromagnetic energy of the air can be altered without reducing its breathability (oxygen content). Other studies examine the energy fields of healers and the people they are healing, and the energy fields eminating from our bodies independent from our internal organs.

INFINITE MIND is packed with gems of wisdom, such as Hunt's description of the five most commonly unintegrated spiritual experiences (experiencing a God-like energy, recalling a past life, gaining abilities to perform miraculous healings and alter material substances, acknowledging one's rage at God's apparent abandonment of us, and the Kundalini experience). INFINITE MIND is a book best read sequentially from beginning to end, since Hunt includes numerous personal experiences throughout her descriptions of scientific studies and experimental results.

What I most enjoy about INFINITE MIND is the way Hunt weaves together a sense of wholeness from her exotic experiences with spirit healing in foreign lands, her unceasing commitment to scientifically investigating energy fields and thought forms, and her honesty in sharing her mystical insights along the way. Seldom is a reference book as riveting and relevant as INFINITE MIND. I give it my highest recommendation!

Valerie Hunt's research over the past 30 years into the human energy fields shows that the mind and emotions are not restricted to the brain and nervous system, but rather originate in the aura, out of which the body is originally formed. Dr. Hunt owes the breakthrough in her thinking about the location of the developing mind to Toronto's Dr. Tom Verny, whose book 'The Secret Life of the Unborn Child' shows that the unborn child, from about 3 months after conception, is able to think, perceive, feel and remember even though the brain is not yet fully formed. Mediums have long provided evidence that we all continue to live after the death of the physical body, in an etheric or spirit body, complete with mind, memory and personality. Near death experiences also corroborate this. In her recent book 'Infinite Mind' Dr. Hunt now provides us with the scientific evidence. Her research has important implications for mediumship in the field of communication with the so-called dead, and in healing diseases which originate in imbalances in the energy field before viruses, bacteria, genetic defects and other factors do their damage. Aura readers and medical diagnostics are tapping into the body's energy fields just as psychics and mediums are able to tune into the discarnate minds of the 'dead', who are actually living on in higher-frequency energy bodies. The brain cannot record these higher frequencies, hence spiritual experiences and dreams cannot be fully integrated into the body and brain, nor is language adequate to describe them. Regression therapy can only deal with the trauma and stresses during the present body's lifetime. However, attuning to the mind-field which exists outside the physical body and brain can enable us to recall past lives and help us understand the progress of the soul after this life is over. Dr. Hunt discusses telepathy, emotions, the mind and body and brain in healing and mystical experiences, and the soul's journey through lifehoods, all from the point of view of a scientist who has tested and researched each step of the way. Valerie Hunt's work is therefore a breakthrough in uniting science and religion by showing that they share the common ground of spirit, mind and energy fields; non-material phenomena that science,thanks to Valerie Hunt and dedicated researchers like her, can now begin to record and measure and so provide proof for the beliefs which religions have held since the dawn of time. They are now substantiated. This is an enthralling, well-written book that scientists, priests, pastors, ministers, theologians, therapists,psychiatrists,doctors, healers and interested lay people should keep with them for the rest of their lives.

This in response to a negative previous review of this book. Valerie Hunt may not be the most scientific of writers but do not dismiss her work because of that. The "mathematical chaos formula" picture you are criticizing as "Lissajous" patterns are not Lissajous. This image was derived using a mathematical algorithm designed specificaly to visualize/search for chaotic patterns in measured data. When this algorithm is applied to random noise, no pattern is produced. When a data set is chaotic, patterns start to appear. This algorithm is well described in many chaos theory books and it is used in physics and engineering. Valerie Hunt is not a mathematician but she does consult mathematicians who know what tools to use to analyze such data. But I do agree the book does not show enough details of her experimental results. I happen to know more of the details thru other sources and I happen to use the same mathematical tools in my work.

Valerie Hunt takes us where no human has gone before in the scientific realm to demonstrate what the shamans, mystics and psychics have been saying for centuries: that the human energy system is real and causative, not the effect. This book is amazing and a must read for anyone interested in the healing process at the deepest levels and understanding the science of that process. I would rank her with the greats in scientific discoveries and theorists in models of human philosophy/spiritualism. Well documented, well presented by a mind that is obviously very well educated in the classic tradition, and a person that has delved into a broad spectrum of experience to draw from. Wonderful!!

All of you intuitives & energy workers out there should add this book to your studies. I have always been hopelessly stuck somewhere between intuition and hard science & unable to language to others my healing & energy work. This book helped me find the language. I highly recommend it!

This is a thoroughly researched, beautifully written BIBLE on the current concept of energy, collective consciousness, etc. Interesting reasoning on our connectedness and the power therein if used. This is a must read,must ponder and must adjust our lives kind of text, and "text" it surely is. Read it, its a gift to yourself.

An excellent book for energy therapists who need scientific research to explain/support the work. Valerie Hunt is a pioneer in the field whose professional background in physical therapy, physiology and teaching curious students opened her to the exploration of consciousness, frequencies and the energetic, vibrational effect on the body. In her 90's, energetic and healthy, she continues to conduct research and currently is working on two $1 million grants in this field. Once past the first chapter of some highly technical information, the remainder of the book will keep you engaged with her personal evolution in this direction, experiences/stories and important studies that support the work.

This book is poorly edited. First, there are numerous grammatical mistakes. Second, Hunt often goes on rambling, disjointed discourses that are hard to make sense out of. Sometimes she throws in some technical jargon that makes it even harder to understand. To be honest, I'm not sure Dr. Hunt fully understands them. If she did have a clearer understanding, perhaps her explanations would clearer as well.

Having said all that, I still think there is valuable and important information here about the nature of the human mind and the bioenergetic field. Unfortunately, the presentation is poor, which reduces the author's credibility. However, if you are open-minded and patient (you don't mind constantly re-reading), the book may well be worth it to you.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Hunt's years of work to validate the reality of the human energy field, which in turn validates all the children and adults out here how have been using the PSI senses - so they must exist - but HOW? here is the answer...

This was kind of a hybrid between a beginner's neuroscience text and a new age shamanic Shirley McClain daydream. The idea that the mind may exist outside, and maybe even in spite of, the brain certainly is plausible enough: but, Dr. Hunt doesn't present her case very well, relying too much on electrographs coupled with unreasonable assumptions as compelling evidence. The writing was erratic and at times seemed like it was being presented by more than one author. Not really worth the effort in my humble opinion.
