As a medical intuitive and holistic healer, I have spent decades devouring every book I could find about holistic alternative medicine and natural healing remedies.
Recently, a friend asked me to do a very interesting assignment: to make a list of my favorite books about the psychology of healing.
Here is my list. You can also view it on www.amazon.com at this link: http://www.amazon.com/lm/R16ACRZ7Q884G9/ref=cm_lm_pthnk_view?ie=UTF8&lm_bb=
As a healer, I am interested primarily in one important question:
What actually works to make people healthy and happy?
That’s what I am all about. Practical, usable information that ordinary people can take in an apply to their every day lives.
These books give you a glimpse of what actually works. Mastering even one of these books can change your life if you listen to what the authors are really saying and allow that wisdom to transform your experience.

Understanding the function. Energy that is inside of and out side of every object and the break down that occurs due to physical experience guided and directed by individual occurring magnetic fields that contain and emmit emotion altering energies that alter choices and cause US to reform our experiences and pur exposure to life & health changing issues as a result of our action of choices made under the influences of the behaviors and the accompanied emotions we have been taught. Every choice alters your path and direction and is completely involved in creating our own reality. Which in turn affects the whole of the universe and through the law of attraction we each will create countless cycles of strengthening and weakening energies with every bio electric pulse our bodies create and emitt at a frequency level that will carry all needed information to create that experienced reality over and over and over again until either dis-ease or healing will occur. Our influence in this process is absolute, when thoughts are changed through awareness and focus. We can and do create our seconds into a complex holographic structure reflecting the light necessary to observe and physically experience the completion of a conscientious induced reality that is being entirely reformed and constructed every nano second into a constant shifting and totally Vulnerable system of intelligent molecular structures, all created with the first step of this cycle, chosen concious thought. Amazingness unfolding faster than we can see but slow enough that we can absolutely alter our reality in an instant. Simply by shifting our perception causing the reflected light to appear as something entirely different or in a different location all together…. Connectivity influences all these wonderful processes we call Uni-Verse (one song)
