"I would suggest that, in the ideal situation, this interchange is more accurately a 'warm' rather than a 'cold' reading of her subject. This process in turn allows a shared field of intuition to blossom between the medium and subject(s). Together they are tapping into a timeless non-local dimension beyond the time and space of their earth-bound existence. This is the quantum Akashic field - I have used several terms describing this realm - from which our physical reality 'collapses' down." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.)

"Indeed, the reading of hands—known as palmistry or chiromancy—has been exceedingly popular for thousands of years in many cultures, and not just for reading the future. Aristotle and Galen read palms to assist them in diagnosing illness. By the Middle Ages, palm reading SIGN OF THE TIMES In the Middle Ages, you cursed your enemies by wishing a pox or some other skin disease on them. Or better still, you likened them to one; calling someone a "scurvy knave" was a favorite." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.)

"It is likely that you have done some preparation, possibly scribbling a few rough notes on a napkin (that you can no longer see as you have vainly removed your reading glasses). But all is well nonetheless, as the emotion of the occasion, the goodwill of the audience and possibly a glass or two of champagne all conspire to create an environment that literally allows the words to flow through you. At such times we are in the zone. Only the now matters, with worries and fears taking a back seat. I get the same feeling playing my harmonica, jamming with other musicians." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.) "And because none of us can predict the future accurately - this is because we all have the power and free will to change if we want to - the operator also has to display much wisdom and humility so his reading heals and illuminates, rather than disempowers his client. This need to remain humble also extends to health practitioners using muscle-testing and pendulum techniques to diagnose illnesses. When performed correctly, these techniques can add valuable insights into someone's healing." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.) "Although I was avidly reading enlightened authors who were exploring the margins of science, whose scholarly works both explained and forged links between art, science and spirituality, I felt the distance between the majority of my medical colleagues and myself widening. On one occasion, I was invited by a group of interested hospice workers to speak on the role of gentle acupuncture in the care of the dying. At the end of the talk, the specialist medical director of one of the hospices stood up and proclaimed; 'There is no role for acupuncture in a hospice." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.)

"Women who are reading this know exactly what I'm talking about, and for that matter I am sure the men reading this know, too. The endocrine system regulates development, growth, reproduction, and behavior through an intricate system of hormones. Hormones are your body's messengers that get produced in one part of the body, such as the thyroid, adrenal or pituitary gland, pass into the bloodstream, and go to distant organs and tissues, where they act to modify structures and functions." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"I want you to step entirely outside your life and look at it as though you are reading a novel or watching a movie. Find the audience appeal in your story. See the triumphs and losses, the joys and betrayals, and great breaks and the missed opportunities as part of a heroic saga that has an underlying purpose. Ask yourself: ?What are the major themes in this saga? ?What is the central mission of the hero (you)? ?What are your strengths? How has the "screenplay" hidden these strengths or brought them to light? ?What are your flaws? How does the "action" challenge you to overcome these flaws?" - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

First, learn to decipher product labels using, and always exercise skepticism about ingredients that are urtfamiliar to you. Second, actively avoid all dangerous ingredients listed in the tables found in this book. Third, boycott companies known to be indifferent to health and safety concerns." - Samuel S.

"It may also be your body's way of telling you that you're reading too much or putting in too many hours at your computer. The more we concentrate and stare, the less we blink and the less often our eyes are lubricated. While dry eye is usually not a particularly serious sign, it can be a sign of Graves' or other thyroid disease, as can watery eyes. (See Bulging Eyes, above." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"There was a flag above the house, emblazoned with a golden star reading "Purity, Promise, Peace, Perfection." As we shut our car doors, marveling at the many date palm trees, three seniors dressed identically in white robes, red vests and blue aprons came out to meet us. Their names were embroidered on their vests: Elect Star, Elect Philip and Elect David. "There's just three of us now," said Philip, explaining how there had once been more than sixty Children of Light." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "While sifting through pomological treatises, Fd think of Sylvia Plath's description of reading about a man and a nun who would meet at a fig tree to collect fruits, until their hands accidentally brushed one day, and the nun never returned: "I wanted to crawl in between the black lines of print the way you crawl through a fence, and go to sleep under that beautiful big green fig tree." I started daydreaming that Julia F. Morton, author of the legendary Fruits of Warm Climates, had an extramarital affair with the fruit hunter Wilson Popenoe, author of Manual of Tropical and Subtropical Fruits." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "I was sprawled on a poolside deck chair at Hollywood's Highland Gardens Hotel, reading about how fairy tales are the basis for our modern stories. Just as I began a paragraph describing the magic seeds that guide the hero through treacherous trials, a golden speck landed on the page. I looked up at the branch overhead. A moment later, a second speck fell onto the open book, right on the y in eternity. Pressing my finger into it, I picked up the plant particle to give it a closer examination. Slightly smaller than a peppercorn, it was oblong and covered in tiny bristles." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"At this point, most people start to see an outline around the body of the person they're reading. What you see will vary depending on your subject's energy field and on how deeply you allow yourself to move with the exercise. Most people will see a gray, silver, yellow, or silvery-white outline that is one-quarter inch to two inches wide. If the line you see is gray, you might think it is a shadow, but you'll soon realize that it doesn't really look like a shadow at all. What you're seeing is the "etheric" BioEM field, which is copying the shape of the body." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"They passed their "first reading" in the European Parliament in 2004, were approved by the Environmental Committee of the Parliament in October 2006, and later were extended to the now twenty-seven-member bloc, including Romania and Bulgaria —a population larger than that of the U.S. Once REACH goes into effect, any new chemicals imported into Europe will need to be registered with a new European Chemicals Agency. Substances designated as toxic will be banned, and chemical registration is expected to begin by 2011." - Samuel S.

"Over the years, as I became healthier and more intrigued about nutrition, I did a lot of reading on the subject. More and more customers started asking me for my advice on overcoming health hurdles that they were treating medically without success. I was dispensing advice to my customers, but didn't have the credentials to back up what I was saying. I decided to pursue a degree in nutrition and became a registered dietitian. Over the past two decades, I have worked as a nutritionist in conventional and integrative medical centers and in private practice." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life!

"University of reading in Britain. Aluminum salt-laden anti-perspirants are applied to the underarm, near the breasts. The aluminum salts remain on the skin, allowing continuous exposure. Shaving the armpits may damage the skin enough to allow aluminum salts direct chemical access to underlying tissue ?though studies have shown that aluminum salts also have no trouble passing through intact human armpit skin. What particularly concerned Darbre was the impact of the multiple chemicals in deodorants and antiperspirants acting together." - Samuel S.

"In the supplementary reading for this chapter, I expand on several of the insights that require an understanding of experimental design and data analysis. I also illustrate the fashion in which the latter can be abused. Risky Business Cholesterol, Blood Sugar, and Blood Pressure Cognitive dissonance is the confusion we experience when we attempt to meld two contradictory ideas." - Nortin M.

"The Simpsons When I think about opening a book in front of the fireplace, I don't imagine myself reading about fruits," a family friend confessed when he heard about my research. But as the discussion turned to the fruits we loved as kids, he suddenly remembered how his girlfriend had, a few years earlier, surprised him by hiding a guava in the house. "I could smell it as soon as I came in," he said. He hadn't tasted one since leaving Israel decades earlier as a fifteen-year-old. When he found the guava, he triumphantly carried it into bed and curled up with it." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Dentists reading the study had no way of knowing that the FDA had refused to let Pharmacia sell Bextra for acute pain just six months before. Omnicom, the global ad giant, and its clinical research firm had performed and published a clinical trial that would do far more to increase sales than the most creative of advertisements. Three scientists who later reviewed the Scirex study said it was not persuasive. They pointed out that Scirex's conclusion that a dose of Bextra worked longer than a single dose of Percocet was not meaningful." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"The peak reading of the pressure exerted by this contraction is the systolic pressure. Between beats the heart relaxes, and blood pressure drops. The very lowest reading is referred to as the diastolic pressure. A normal blood pressure reading for adults is as follows: 120 (systolic)/80 (diastolic) Hypertension or high blood pressure is one of the major risk factors for a heart attack or stroke. The number of individuals with hypertension (a blood pressure reading higher than 160/95) in the United States is estimated as 20 percent of white adults and 30 percent of black adults." - Michael T.

"In a second clinical case, a 56-year-old female was diagnosed with stage III liver cancer with a serum bilirubin reading of 3.5 mg/dL, albumin of 2.8 g/dl, and prothrombin activation of only 48 percent. Her T-factor was 3 and N-factor was 1. Her M-factor, indicating remote metastasis, was 0. She received transcatheter arterial embolization in January 1994 and 10 milligrams of lipodol, 15 mg of adriamycin and 100 mg of cisplatin (CDDP) administered by injection. Next, 200 mg of 5-FU was orally administered for 60 consecutive days but no improvements were seen." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Simply put, if I believe nobody likes me, I project that you don't like me, and then I act as if this mind reading were the truth. Often times, people as children develop this "cognitive distortion" as a way to handle their parental situation. Mind-reading Mommy's or Daddy's wants could certainly help a child to please them and survive. The child learned that mind reading and pleasing an alcoholic or abusive parent might be a way to "keep the peace." Unfortunately, as the child becomes an adult he takes this mind reading with him on automatic." - Stephen Wolinsky and Kristi L. Kennen, Quantum Consciousness: The Guide to Experiencing Quantum Psychology (Get the book.)

"Receiving an astrology reading might be an encounter with the above direction, helping to bring clarity to our earthwalk by bringing understanding of celestial influences. The last direction, but not the least, is the center. This is the place where we encounter the Great Mystery, All That Is, and the Holy Heart. This is where we find our true self—in the middle of all the directions. It is the one-heart space where, with our unique individual aspect, we can experience the oneness." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"I had been trained to believe that carefully reading the medical journals, following experts' recommendations, and keeping up with continuing education would ensure that I was bringing the best possible care to my patients. I had been practicing mainstream medicine, along with a few clearly effective alternative remedies, but over the last few years, I had become increasingly aware that this wasn't good enough. Now I knew why." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "With only selective reporting of commercially sponsored clinical trials, doctors reading their journals are led to believe that newer drugs are more effective and less dangerous than older drugs, even when the actual scientific evidence points in the other direction. Based on the best information available, antidepressants (almost exclusively the newer ones) were the best selling class of drugs in the United States between 1999 and 2001, and ranked number three behind cholesterol-lowering statins and acid-suppressing drugs in 2002 and 2003. All told, in 2001, Americans spent a total of $12." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "The essential role that cholesterol plays in many of the body's biological functions is easily forgotten when one is reading and following the updated guidelines for cholesterol management, and getting caught up in the growing cholesterol-lowering frenzy. The real goal of medical care is, after all, to improve overall health—in this case to decrease the risk of coronary heart disease, serious illness of all kinds, and premature death from all causes—and not simply to lower blood levels of LDL cholesterol." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.)
