The author, a highly trained biophysicist as well as a skilled practitioner of traditional Asian healing methods, presents a macro understanding of the interconnectedness of the spiritual and the physical, showing how thoughts can change the functioning of our cells to repair and renew the body. Using a wealth of scientific knowledge, evocative stories, photos, and simple yet profound exercises, this book guides readers to access their innate healing abilities by showing that emotional, mental, and spiritual feelings can positively impact our bodies at the cellular level, and that healing is a basic part of human nature. "The tools for healing presented in this book are simple, powerful, and available to everyone. They reside within you, created as part of your genetic code, and they are a natural property of the instrinsic workings of every cell in your body. ... There is a bridge between ordinary reality and spiritual reality that provides access to luminous meditation, healing energy, and wisdom. This bridge reaches directly into the units of life in the physical body: the cells." (from the Introduction)
