Energy Medicine and the Multidimensional Model
If everything is energy, what constitutes the legitimate domain of energy medicine?

Biomedical Research Needs a Paradigm Shift
After many years of increasing investment and diminishing returns, the question we must begin to ask ourselves is, Are we using the right paradigm? Given the experimentally verified validity of quantum mechanics, I believe it’s time to seriously consider the implications for biomedical research.

Energy Psychology: The Future of Therapy?
What we don’t know about healing dwarfs what we do know, and nowhere is this more apparent than the role of “energy” in restoring balance to a fractured psyche. Energy Psychology, modern psychotherapy’s enfant terrible, is growing up and giving us clues to the mystery of its remarkable power.
