ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It takes a village to create a book of this magnitude, and I am deeply grateful to all the people who have played a part in making it possible. Sir Isaac Newton said that we stand on the shoulders of giants. No scientist creates alone. We build on the discoveries of others. I am so grateful to the hundreds of visionary researchers whose work is cited in these pages, and upon whose foundations I have built. Wherever I looked for evidence, I usually found it, and the breadth of mind and imagination I discovered in the work of my colleagues often humbled and astounded me. Everyone in the healing field, especially me, owes a debt of gratitude to clinical psychologist David Feinstein. His intellectual rigor, brilliant academic writing skills, and ethical awareness have shaped the work of an entire generation of energy healing professionals. He provided detailed feedback on the first few chapters and helped shape this book. Many other professionals read sections dealing with their areas of expertise and corrected errors and
misunderstandings. EEG expert Gary Groesbeck gave me detailed feedback on the brain wave chapters, while his colleague Judith Pennington provided clear explanations of the Awakened Mind and Evolved Mind patterns. Psychiatrist Ron Ruden alerted me to the importance of delta brain waves and the many ways we can increase them. Rollin McCraty of the Institute of HeartMath gave me clear and explicit explanations of Schumann resonances and field line resonances, as well as conducting primary research on the topic. Dean Radin of the Institute for Noetic Sciences helped me understand the statistical basis of the research on premonition and maintains the most current website listing scientific publications of extraordinary human experiences. His remarkable experiments have provided a sound scientific basis for this work. My close friend Bob Hoss is a brilliant polymath whose mind knows no boundaries. He’s an expert on the neuroscience of dreaming and how the brain uses symbolism to solve problems. He provided the pillars for the passages on Carl Jung, the collective unconscious, the emotional brain, and quantum phenomena.
I’m grateful to Lissa Rankin for fascinating conversations that led to clearer insights into how mind becomes matter. Also to Bill Bengston for his provocative work on using energy to heal cancer and for helping me understand both the animal and human dimensions of this research. I’m grateful to all the institutes and conferences that sponsor my live workshops, like Esalen, Kripalu, Omega, and the New York Open Center. At these modern gathering places of mind and spirit, I meet a variety of fascinating teachers whose insights enrich my understanding. I’m privileged to interact with many other likeminded people who are members of the Transformational Leadership Council. Thank you, Jack Canfield, for founding and fostering this remarkable group of visionaries. Many of those who endorsed this book are fellow members. I’m also grateful to the skeptics. There are many professional naysayers who claim that humans are beings of matter rather than energy. Their attacks on the field of energy healing, especially in the entries in Wikipedia that they control, and their denial of the science described in this book serve a useful purpose.
Many of these experiments have been designed to rebut their arguments. The relentless barrage of skeptical criticism is indirectly responsible for the thousands of studies of energy healing published in peer-reviewed journals. I’m especially grateful to my friend and Hay House president Reid Tracy. This book was born in a conversation with him, and he suggested the title. His entire team at Hay House, including publisher Patty Gift, editor Anne Barthel, and marketing director Richelle Fredson, has been a joy to work with, on both a personal and a professional level. I’ve had an amazing professional relationship with my friend and editor Stephanie Marohn for over a decade, and I’m so thankful for her keen eye and warm encouragement. Karin Kinsey’s expert eye is responsible for the illustrations and typesetting, and she’s given me enthusiastic support all along. I’m also grateful for the inspired editorial guidance of Hay House editor Anne Barthel and the eagle eye of copyeditor Rachel Shields. I cannot even begin to express how much the genius of Heather Montgomery, General Manager of my organization Energy Psychology Group, makes in my life.
Heather manages a complex organization with wisdom and humor. Her hand-picked team, including Seth Buffum, Marion Allen, Kendra Heath, Jackie Viramontez, and Mack Diesel, maintain high professional standards and make work fun even under pressure. There are many more laughs in the office than tears! I’m also grateful for the board members and volunteers of the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare, the nonprofit I founded. We’ve now conducted or helped catalyze over 100 scientific studies and treated more than 20,000 veterans with PTSD. Giving back is a cornerstone of my life and I’m inspired by the hundreds of NIIH volunteers who do the same. Many of my fellow transformational entrepreneurs supported the launch of this book, and I’m grateful to Nick Ortner, Mastin Kipp, Lissa Rankin, Joe Dispenza, Natalie Ledwell, Joe Mercola, Dave Asprey, and many others who shared it with their communities. During the wildfire that consumed my home and office in October 2017, a committed group of people came together to help us recover. I traveled for most of the month while my wife, Christine, navigated our family’s next steps at home. Her daughters, Julia and
Jessie, as well as my children, Rexana and Lionel, together with Julia’s husband, Tyler, formed an impromptu committee to take care of hundreds of details, from finding us emergency shelter to making lists of destroyed items. This huge disruption could have derailed the book, but thanks to their efforts it did not. I’m blessed with a large extended family. Tens of thousands of people visit my EFT Universe website each month, and thousands train with us every year. The depth of emotional intimacy and heart sharing we experience both in person and in our social networking sites makes it impossible to ever feel alone. We know we’re part of a huge global movement. My wife, Christine, makes magic with her beautiful energy. Just being near her feels like being enfolded in a warm, soft blanket of love. She provides me with an energy environment that is filled with goodwill and happiness. It was Christine who encouraged me to work with Reid Tracy and Hay House and who every day creates the beautiful home environment and energy ecology in which this book was written.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dawson Church is an award-winning author whose best-selling book The Genie in Your Genes (www.YourGeniusGene.com) has been hailed by reviewers as a breakthrough in our understanding of the link between emotions and genetics. He founded the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare (www.NIIH.org) to study and implement promising evidence-based psychological and medical techniques. In his undergraduate and graduate work at Baylor University, he became the first student to successfully graduate from the academically rigorous University Scholars program in 1979. He earned a doctorate at Holos University under the mentorship of neurosurgeon Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., founder of the American Holistic Medical Association. After an early career in book publishing as editor and then president of Aslan Publishing (www.aslanpublishing.com), Church went on to receive a postgraduate Ph.D. in Natural Medicine as well as clinical certification in Energy Psychology (CEHP certification# 2016). Church’s groundbreaking research has been published in prestigious scientific journals. He is the editor of Energy Psychology: Theory, Research & Treatment, a peer-reviewed
professional journal (www.EnergyPsychologyJournal.org), and a blogger for the Huffington Post. He shares how to apply the breakthroughs of energy psychology to health and athletic performance through EFT Universe (www.EFTUniverse.com). EFT Universe was the first organization to have its courses accredited for CME (continuing medical education) for all of the major professions, including doctors (AMA), psychologists (APA), and nurses (ANCC). He has trained thousands of practitioners in energy psychology techniques and offers the premier certification program in the field (EnergyPsychologyCertification.com).
