Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 One of the books I'm reading this year is _Vibrational Medicine for the 21st Century_ by Richard Gerber, M.D. This book is copyrighted for the year 2000. He also wrote an earlier book titled simply _Vibrational Medicine_ several years ago. That book was intended for people with a medical school education. Without a medical education myself, I STRUGGLED through it <grin> but felt the effort was worthwhile. From chapter 3 of his latter book on page 88 I copied the following excerpt. I hope you find it interesting and perhaps thought-provoking. " When scientists at the HeartMath Institute analyzed the moment-to-moment variability in heart rate using special computer programs, they found unique patterns that correlated with different states of consciousness and emotional feelings. When people were experiencing discordant, chaotic emotions of anger and frustration, their heartbeat-frequency patterns were also chaotic, incoherent, and disorganized-looking. In contrast, test subjects experiencing feelings of love, compassionate caring, and an appreciation for life produced a coherent heart-frequency pattern that looked like a mathematically regular oscillating sine wave. In other words, the presence of loving, compassionate states of feeling in the heart area actually produced measurable changes in the electrical activity of the heart. " I can't give you a valid opinion on the complete book yet as I am no where near through it. I can tell you that I'm enjoying what I've read so far. As you'd guess, the subject matter of the book definitely falls into the domain of what would be called alternative medicine. If you'd like to see what other people think of the book, I'd suggest visiting www.amazon.com. Rich Putman Time is a great healer. That's why they make you wait so long in a doctor's office. <A HREF= " http://EarnSave.homestead.com/testimonies.html " >examples of unsolicited health testimonies</A> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Rich, You would probably enjoy reading The Heartmath Solution, which describes the ideas behind this quote in much detail. It's a fascinating book. I have the computer program they mention (biofeedback software) - which records your 'coherence' and goes into the concept of entrainment. If it's something you can afford, it's worth getting.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Rich: If you like the output from heartmath you will love Dr. Paul Purcell's, " The Heart's Code " . rusty - <rputman Monday, October 01, 2001 7:39 AM mind-heart relationship > One of the books I'm reading this year is _Vibrational Medicine for the 21st > Century_ by Richard Gerber, M.D. This book is copyrighted for the year 2000. > He also wrote an earlier book titled simply _Vibrational Medicine_ several > years ago.
