Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Psychology of the Soul & the Paranormal, Rev. Karen E. Herrick, PhD shares what she has learned over many years in a journey involving both clinical practice and personal struggles. Her primary audience is the 40-50% of the people in the United States and Great Britain who have had at least one type of spiritual experience and who want to know how this might have happened. Other therapists and people who may be trying to understand and relate to people influenced by paranormal or spiritual events will also be educated. This book will also be of interest to anyone who is interested in dealing with the deeper levels of consciousness in daily life and who wants some information in addition to therapy. To provide a context for spiritual and paranormal experience, Dr. Herrick describes their physiological and trans-physiological basis. The former includes the nervous system and particularly the vagus nerve in both our physical and spiritual bodies. The spiritual, invisible body comprises psychic centers known as chakras and each person's etheric body that enables travel out of the physical body during Out-of-Body and Near-Death experiences and post-mortem survival.

Download or read book Natural Healing as Conflict Resolution written by Nicholson, Rebecca and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-10-16 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional methods for addressing conflict and healing have been largely replaced in elite settings by modern approaches. Rather than old and new complementing one another, bias is present. New is widely perceived as better among elite institutions, even when research indicates otherwise. Within the realm of international development, the need for cost-effective, sustainable, and successful methods of healing must be explored. Natural Healing as Conflict Resolution is an essential reference book that examines and addresses systemic bias towards natural healing methods and explores the mutually beneficial relationships of natural healing through human and non-human life forms in the context of resolving conflict. It illustrates not only the more obvious biological/physiological benefits of complementary approaches, but also the spiritual, emotional, and psychological benefits of integrating natural means of healing to resolve conflict. As such, the book acknowledges the effectiveness and articulates the benefits of traditional indigenous healing methods and how they can be used in complementary, mutually beneficial ways with modern practices. Highlighting emerging topics that include ecopsychology, parapsychology, and holistic medicine, this book is ideal for conflict resolution practitioners, psychologists, trauma counselors, veterans associations, pet therapists, nature organizations, academics, scientists, eco-architects and designers, international development policymakers, peacebuilding institutions, natural and traditional healers, alternative/integrative medicine practitioners, spiritualists, researchers, and students.

Download or read book A New Science of the Paranormal written by Lawrence LeShan and published by Quest Books. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mainline science rejects the paranormal because it cannot be proven by the classical methods of controlled experiments. But sciences such as geology, astronomy, and anthropology also don’t rely on laboratory testing for repeatable results. Moreover, psi concerns consciousness, which is by definition nonquantitative. "Psi researchers must stop acting like science’s poor relations," says author Lawrence LaShan, "limiting themselves to controlled experiments such as analyzing statistics of people guessing cards being flipped in the next room" This provocative book outlines the principles of making a real study of the large, exciting events — clairvoyance and precognition; mediumship and spirit controls; psychic healing — that would bring mainline science into and revitalize the whole field. "And the issue is not just academic," says LeShan. "The old, materialistic worldview has not worked. Psychic research," he argues, "can transform our sense of reality itself to offer a new and more hopeful picture of ourselves and of the world."

Diverse concepts such as creativity and mental illness can be explained by the idea that two spiritual forms are in each human.

Why do some people make life decisions based on their horoscope?

Download or read book An Introduction to the Psychology of Paranormal Belief and Experience written by Tony Jinks and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When someone admits to a strange experience, such as witnessing an unidentified flying object, having telepathic hunches, or seeing angels or ghosts, listeners usually explain it away as mistaken perception, intoxication, ignorance, or even mental illness. Though these unsympathetic psychology-based explanations remain the most popular responses to claims of the supernatural, those who use them often have little understanding of what such dismissive "solutions" actually entail. This study offers a balanced and accessible analysis of various explanations for the paranormal. By providing insight into how these theories are applied, or misapplied, to inquiry into the paranormal, it clarifies the relationship between the field of psychology and the supernatural.
