Larry Dossey

Basándose en su innovador trabajo en el que se relaciona la oración con la salud, el doctor Larry Dossey nos ofrece nuevas formas de ver la oración y nos cuenta cómo podemos aprovechar sus extraordinarios poderes curativos. En su bestseller Palabras que curan (Ediciones Obelisco) Dossey presento abundantes evidencias de que la oracion -sea para uno mismo o para otros- contribuye a la recuperacion de una enfermedad o un trauma, y que esta diferencia se puede demostrar cientificamente. Ahora, en La oracion es una buena medicina ,Dossey nos muestra como sacar el maximo provecho para la curacion. En este libro, enfoca cuestiones y preocupaciones comunes sobre como utilizar el potencial curativo de la oracion, entre ellas: el hecho de rezar con o sin palabras; cuanto rezar y en que momento; el papel de la religion en nuestra salud; la opinion de la medicina tradicional respecto a las oraciones; e, incluso, como evitar el lado destructivo de las plegarias. Dossey subraya que la oracion no puede sustituir un buen tratamiento medico, sino que se trata de un complemento muy efectivo: simplemente, parece mas logico combinar ambos.

Desde tiempos inmemoriales se ha rezado para curar o ayudar a curar enfermos, pero hasta hace poco los resultados de las plegarias en la SANACIÓN no habían sido estudiados científicamente, o no se habian hecho publicos. Sin embargo, desde finales del siglo pasado las evidencias cientificas de la eficacia de la oracion son irrefutables, a pesar de que muchas veces se han silenciado.En Palabras que curan, el Dr. Larry Dossey aboga por una medicina mas humana y al mismo tiempo mas eficaz que incluya practicas ancestrales de demostrada eficacia como pueden ser la plegaria, el amor y el poder de la mente inconsciente.Con rigor pero con amenidad, el Dr. Dossey recoge testimonios, estadisticas y estudios realizados en todo el planeta que demuestran que la oracion funciona. Y... el hecho que las plegarias funcionen nos dice algo de una importancia incalculable sobre nuestra naturaleza y sobre como nos conectamos con el Absoluto. Palabras que curan es un estudio apasionante sobre el poder sanador de la oracion que le contestara a las siguientes preguntas.¿Que es la SANACION?¿Que son las plegarias?¿A donde van a parar las oraciones?¿Como rezar?¿Que relacion hay entre la oracion y el inconsciente?Larry Dossey es medico, Jefe docente del Humana Medical City Dallas y autor, entre otros libros, de Espacio, Tiempo y Medicina, Mas alla de la enfermedad, Recuperando el alma y Medicina y sentido.Actualmente vive con su esposa, Barbara, en Santa Fe (Nuevo Mexico), autora como el de varios libros de exito.

Libro revolucionario que aplica a la medicina la nueva concepción derivada de la física moderna. Un nuevo enfoque para el concepto de enfermedad. Fascinante relación entre "la enfermedad del tiempo" y los ataques cardíacos.

La salud va más allá de la ausencia de enfermedad física. Sin un equilibrio entre nuestro cuerpo y nuestra mente no nos podemos considerar sanos. El dotor Dossey nos propone estrategias para estar y sentirnos sanos mediante la oracion, el amor, la risa, la creatividad y el sueño.

If modern medicine is truly to be a healing art, says Dr. Larry Dossey, it must embrace three ideas it has too long ignored. It must address not only our bodies, but our minds and spirits as well; it must deal not only with the mechanism of illness, but with its meaning; and it must recognize that our power to heal and be healed extends beyond our physical bodies. Bestselling author Dossey is one of the most influential spokespersons for the role of consciousness and spirituality in medicine. In these writings, he explores the relationship - often documented in extensive research - between science and unscientific topics such as prayer, love, laughter, work, war, creativity, dreams and immortality. Does the mind produce consciousness - or transmit it? Why has job stress become a worldwide epidemic? Could war be a biological condition? Why is fishing good for your health? How can science study the effects of prayer? Dossey tackles all these questions and more. Some essays are funny, some sober, some inspirational. Each in its own way challenges us to examine ourselves and our health in a new and different light.

"Larry Dossey is one of Americas most important thinkers. When he talks, I listen."Marianne Williamson, author of A Return to Love In his New York Times bestseller Healing Words, Dr. Dossey investigated why patients surrounded by prayer healed faster and more completely than patients who were not. Now, in The Science of Premonitions, Dossey uses cutting-edge science to make a convincing case that premonitions are real, common, and helpful. Then Dossey explores research on mindfulness and meditation to show readers how they can cultivate and take advantage of premonitions. Packed with compelling case studies and thought-provoking findings, this is a book for the skeptical mind and the believers heart, and will be greeted warmly by, as Deepak Chopra said, "anyone who is interested in knowing about the deeper meaning of our existence." (Deepak Chopra, M.D.)

Every day modern medicine announces the arrival of yet another wonder drug or miracle procedure to a world increasingly wary of expensive high-tech cures. Drugs, transplants, and surgery dont work for 90 percent of our aches and pains and, while we are grateful for life-saving developments, we know that most come with risks that we ignore at our peril.Long hailed as one of the founding fathers of mind-body medicine, Larry Dossey directs our attention to simple sources of healing that have been available for centuriestreasures often hidden in plain sightfrom the power of optimism and of tears to speed recovery to the surprising usefulness of dirt and bugs in curing disease and infection to the benefits of doing nothing.Exploring the medical research that validates these simple remedies, Dossey encourages us to align ourselves with the wisdom of nature and allow true healing to take place. The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things can transform our view of what health is all about, whether our concern is cancer or the common cold.

Imagine a united consciousness, an awareness of which all of our minds are a part . . . and a potential way out of the division, greed, and destruction that threaten to engulf our world.In the 20th century, we were introduced to several subdivisions of the mind: the conscious, unconscious, subconscious, preconscious, and so on. But what we didnt know was that there was another level of consciousness, an all-encompassing, infinite dimension of shared intelligence: the One Mind. This universal consciousness connects all of us through space and time. Even now, as you read these words, you are participating in the One Mind.Emerging studies have shown that the One Mind isnt just an idea; its a reality. In this book, Larry Dossey shares compelling research that supports the One Mind concept. These cases include experiences of:· Shared thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations with a distant individual· Communication between humans and sentient nonhumans, such as pets· Large groups of animals-flocks, schools, herds-behaving in highly coordinated ways· Acquisition of previously unknown knowledge from a person who has died· Hidden or lost objects found through mental means alone· Direct contact with a transcendent domain through near-death experiencesThrough engaging stories, fascinating case studies, and brilliant insights from great thinkers throughout history, One Mind explores the outer reaches of human consciousness. In it, you will discover a new way to interpret the great mysteries of our experience and learn how to develop the empathy necessary to engender more love, peace, and collective awareness. The result is a rich new understanding of what it means to be human and a renewed hope that we can successfully confront the challenges we face at this crossroads in human history.With One Mind, Dossey shows that we are not alone, that we are all one.

The doctor and bestselling author who first demonstrated the healing effects of prayer now offers an unprecedented look at the science of premonitions. The Power of Premonitions takes readers through documented cases of premonitions, including a remarkable instance when an entire Nebraska community skipped church the very day it exploded; an examination of recent scientific study of presentiment; a discussion of what it all means to daily life; and practical field-tested techniques for inviting premonitions. In this compelling new book Dossey uses cutting-edge science to prove the value of what has long been considered spiritual mumbo-jumbo. This is a book for the sceptical mind, but its also for the believers heart because its author possesses the rare gift of having both.

Does the mind produce consciousnessor transmit it? Can machines detect love? Why has job stress become a worldwide epidemic? Why do objects sometimes seem to have minds of their own?

In this book, he explores the relationshipoften documented in extensive researchbetween science and "unscientific" topics such as prayer, love, laughter, war, creativity, dreams, and immortality.

Una premonición es, literalmente, un preaviso. Es una ojeada al futuro,un sentimiento o un presentimiento de que algo está a punto de ocurrir.Pueden avisarnos de algo desagradable o anunciarnos cosas agradables.Las premoniciones pueden ser vagas o precisas y dramaticas. Pueden llegardurmiendo o estando despiertos. Podemos ser totalmente conscientes deellas o tenerlas tan profundamente instaladas en el inconsciente que nosempujan a actuar sin saber por que.El profesor Dossey, reconocido por sus colegas norteamericanos comoun hombre de absoluta seriedad medica, mantiene que es posible quetodo el mundo tenga una habilidad innata para ver lo que nos depara elfuturo y que debemos cultivar las premoniciones. Analiza, asimismo, lasposibles causas de esta capacidad de percepcion, cual es su finalidad ycomo debemos interpretarla. Explica tambien que han opinado sobrela naturaleza de la conciencia las mentes mas brillantes de la historia dela ciencia y como ha habido, en todas las epocas, un consenso sobre laexistencia de las premoniciones.
