Soul Mind Body Science System

This is an unusual book as a combination of Taoism, science, spirituality and healing, written by a doctor who is also a spiritual teacher giving many workshops, and a physicist. As such, it contains many practices along with explanations and makes special claims about the status of the lead author which the reader is not really in a position to assess. The aim is to present a grand unification theory going beyond physics, and involving the equation S (soul, heart, mind) + E (energy) + M (matter) = 1 in the sense that they need to be unified. This corresponds to the Chinese terms jing as matter, shen as soul, heart and mind, and qi as energy, and the order in the equation represents the direction of influence of one on the other. The 1 is the Tao as the Source and Goal of existence. The key themes throughout are purification, gratitude, love, forgiveness and service. Many of the practices are requests or invocations use what the authors call body power, soul power, mind power and sound power, the significance of this last being that we become what we chant (although it is difficult to follow these practices without guidance). It is clear from the group feedback that these processes are powerfully healing and spiritually significant in terms of the welfare of the planet and its future - the embodiment of divine qualities is perhaps the most important inner work we can aspire to in terms of raising our frequency and refining our vibration. The book contains many practices in this respect.
