JC Hugh MacKimmie. Presence of Angels: A Healer’s Life, Eureka, MT: Knowing Heart Publishing 2005. 477 pp $19.95

James MacKimmie is a chiropractor who discovered his healing gifts spontaneously many decades ago. He has a keen eye for details, an awesome gift of pattern recognition, a wonderful wealth of experience in healing, a great sense of humor (laughing at himself as well as at the memory to recall ways in which healing has helped in his practice – or not. His view is that we are spirits incarnated for lessons; that illness is a message about disharmony in our lives; and that healing cuts through resistances to bring into awareness that which is asking to be heard, in order to restore balance and harmony.

The goal of the healing that flows through me is soul growth. The ego personality is made up of wishes, wants and desires, all clamoring for fulfillment. But that is not why we are here. We are born into this physical body for soul growth and to balance the great book of life. It is my belief that we all carry our own healing with us as we walk our path through life. My purpose is to facilitate that healing to the extent allowed within each person’s karmic pattern to awaken people to the higher aspects of life. For once touched by the Creator’s love, you, and the world as you know it, are forever changed. Your eyes see differently, your heart opens, and your horizons expand beyond all comprehension. Life simply begins living itself through you. God is … You are … (p. xiii-xiv)

With great warmth, humility, openness and wit, MacKimmie shares his path of learning the ways of being a healer…

Paul Hawken. The Ecology of Commerce: A Declaration of Sustainability, NY: HarperCollins 1993.

Our planet is threatened on the one side by pressures of overpopulation and on the other side by pressures of nearly exhausted natural resources and pollution that are threatening to make our world uninhabitable. Paul Hawken does a masterful job of explaining the problems we face and suggesting creative solutions to these problems.
   Hawken points out that our pursuit of material gain has grown to be such an accepted goal and one that has been so successful for the industrial nations of the world, that it is difficult for most people to realize that the western standard of living cannot be sustained much longer. Writing in 1993, he observes that in North America we have used up 97 percent of the original forests and are consuming more wood and wood products than we can produce domestically. Our farmers and ranchers pump out an excess of 20 billion gallons of water daily from underground reservoirs than can be replaced through rainfall.

Whatever possibilities business once represented, whatever dreams and glories corporate success once offered, the time has come to acknowledge that business as we know it is over. Over because it failed in one critical and thoughtless way: It did not honor the myriad forms of life that secure and connect its own breath and skin and heart to the breath and skin and heart of our earth. (p. 6)

Limits of sustainability have been reached and in most of the world have been exceeded…

Healing Research, Volume II - Professional Edition

Consciousness, Bioenergy and Healing:
Self-Healing and Energy Medicine for the 21st Century
By Daniel J. Benor, M.D.

Foreword by C. Norman Shealy, MD, PhD

   PAPERBACK, CD-ROM, and eBOOK
     Order from author for 15% discount, no shipping charges in US

This book will dramatically broaden and deepen your understanding of health, illness and healing.

Consciousness: We have far greater potential for healing ourselves and each other than we generally appreciate. Dr. Benor, a wholistic psychiatrist, explains how mind-body and body-mind interactions can cause illness or promote health through wholistic interactions of body, emotions, mind, relationships (with other people and the environment) and spirit.  An enormous body of research, clinical examples and a variety of theories explain healing through complementary/ alternative medicine (CAM), including meditation, visualization, acupuncture, osteopathy and many more modalities, with clear and concise explanations of each of these healing modalities.

Bioenergy: Newtonian medicine has been slow to absorb the lessons of quantum physics: The body can be addressed not only as matter, but also as energy. Subtle biological energies are used by many CAM therapies -- some moving through the hands of the therapist, others through specialized interventions explained by Dr. Benor. Acupuncture addresses energies in acupuncture points, along meridians running from head to toes, and in chakras -- the body's energy regulating centers. Homeopathy and flower essences introduce energies and information through the water that is their vehicle for treatment. Does all this sound strange? Dr. Benor has gathered an amazing body of research in this book to confirm the healing potentials of these subtle bioenergy therapies -- explaining some of the roles of our energy body.
    Biological energies interact with environmental energies. Dr. Benor reviews a wealth of research on unconventional energies and considers their relevance to spiritual healing -- following on Volume I of Healing Research, which reviews 191 controlled studies of healing, demonstrating it is a highly effective treatment.

Healing: Dr. Benor explains how we can create health or illness through body-mind interactions, wholistic CAM and bioenergy medicine interventions. He reviews and discusses impressive research supporting claims that CAM and bioenergy therapies are potent and effective treatments.

We are part of a vast universe.      What is our place in this amazing cosmos?            What is your place in this world?                      The sands of time may be limited!

 

	THE BOOMERANG NEBULA
	The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. Forever singing, as they shine, The hand that made us is divine.                   - Joseph Addison		Credit: Hubble Heritage Team, J. Biretta (STScI) et al., (STScI/AURA), ESA, NASA
	The Boomerang Nebula spans about one light year and lies about 5,000 light years away toward the constellation Centaurus. This symmetric cloud appears to have been created by a high-speed wind of gas and dust blowing from an aging central star at speeds of nearly 600,000 kilometers per hour. What confines the wind remains a mystery though. It may be a central disk of dense gas or a central magnetic field. The rapid expansion itself, however, has cooled molecules in the nebular gas to about one degree above absolute zero - colder than even the cosmic background radiation - making it the coldest known region in the distant Universe. Shining with light from the central star reflected by dust, the frigid Boomerang Nebula is believed to be a star or stellar system evolving toward the planetary nebula phase. To help better understand the Boomerang's origin, astronomers are studying the above image taken in polarized light, color coded by an angular direction associated with the polarization. Different progenitor scenarios create different amounts and patterns of polarized light. The above image was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys .

PLEASE SUPPORT THE WHR AND IJHC NEWSLETTERS
AND THIS SITE!

WholisticHealingResearch.com and the Newsletters were created and are maintained and expanded as a labor of love and dedication to healing - without outside support.

Many have suggested charging for access to WHR and our Newsletters, but I don’t want to exclude those without means to pay. There are many visitors to WHR from parts of the world where credit cards and funds are not as readily available as they may be to you, and people urgently seeking information about healing who may not be in a space to pay for access to WHR.

Your donation of $5 (more will be gratefully accepted!) will go towards expanding the resources available on the site, to update sections of the site as new studies and progress in healing are published, and towards secretarial support so that Dr. Benor can devote more time to developing and expanding the content of the site.

You may also support this site by purchasing at Amazon.com through our link, in the left column, below, or bookmark this web address: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search/103-8181535-3258232?mode=books&keyword=&tag=wholisticheal-20&Go.x=6&Go.y=11
