The Heart Speaks

Some practitioners of modern medicine have started realizing the futility of excessive dependence on mechanical diagnostic procedures. Dr. Mimi Guarneri's book " The Heart Speaks " underlines this fact very convincingly. Dr. Mimi,a USA based Cardiologist, has tried to break the shackles of stereotyped medical practice. She emphasizes on the role of emotive disorders & stress as major causative factors of organic diseases. She stresses the need for psychological support to patients & asserts that doctors must find time to listen to patients instead of giving routine treatments. Citing cases from her practice she has substantiated her point beyond doubt. She has a very open mind & does not refrain from talking about the importance of alternate healing methods. The problem, however, is -- " will the doctors listen to her sane advice ? " Prior to the of study medicine she cherished the idea of being a Doctor of Philosophy. Well, this is her thesis on the " Philosophy of Medicine. " Congratulations Dr. Guarneri.

Decoding Reiki

Finished a book " Decoding Reiki " by Mohan Shrotriya. He is a Reiki healer & Master teacher based in Jaipur. A very well written book on the subject for people who are interested in knowing about this science of healing. For Hindi readers a Hindi version of the book is also available. The author has immense experience in healing & teaching Reiki to those who are willing to learn but beware unless he is convinced that a person is genuinely interested he may not teach just for money. I felt that the book written in English is better done. Despite his command on both the languages his English expression is superior. May be his grounding in English has a lot a do with this fact since he has taught English for years up to P.G. level. The book in Hindi is not a translation of the English version or vice versa. Both the books have been written separately. Whether one reads the book in English or Hindi it is a must read for people who are interested in knowing different high ways & byways of healing.
