5.0 out of 5 stars
A new paradigm of medicine,
By Book Buff (Kentucky, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Transpersonal Medicine: A New Approach to Healing Body-Mind-Spirit (Paperback)
Dr. Lawlis works out of the PNP Center outside of Dallas. There he and his colleagues put into action the techniques described in this book. His results are little short of miraculous. The book sets forth, in a clear scientific way, evidence that methods of treatment that are thousands of years old are in fact very powerful treatment tools today. Dr. Lawlis holds that the most powerful way to treat those who are suffering is not to reach for more drugs, but to treat the whole person; body, mind, heart and spirit. In particular, the section on Rituals lays out the power rituals-like those done by shaman for the last few thousand years-have to change the lives of those suffering today. A very fascinating book about a method of treatment too long ignored by Western medicine.

This review is from: Transpersonal Medicine: A New Approach to Healing Body-Mind-Spirit (Paperback)
This book reads more like a hodgepodge of studies done. Boring and not very informative.
