The biology of belief : unleashing the power of consciousness, matter & miracles / by Lipton, Bruce H.(CARDINAL)464914;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 183-193) and index.Lessons from the petri dish : in praise of smart cells and smart students -- It's the environment, stupid -- The magical membrane -- The new physics : planting both feet firmly on thin air -- Biology and belief -- Growth and protection -- Conscious parenting : parents as genetic engineers -- Spirit and science.Author Lipton is a former medical school professor and research scientist. His experiments, and those of other leading-edge scientists, have examined in great detail the processes by which cells receive information. The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts. Dr. Lipton's profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a breakthrough, showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking.--From publisher description.

The biology of belief : unleashing the power of consciousness, matter & miracles / by Lipton, Bruce H.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-257) and index.Lessons from the petri dish : in praise of smart cells and smart students -- It's the environment, stupid -- The magical membrane -- The new physics : planting both feet firmly on thin air -- Biology and belief -- Growth and protection -- Conscious parenting : parents as genetic engineers -- Spirit and science.It has been ten years since the publication of The Biology of Belief, Bruce Liptons seminal book on the relationship between mind and body that changed the way we think about our lives, our health, and our planet. During that time, research in this field has grown exponentiallyLiptons groundbreaking experiments have now been endorsed by more than a decade of rigorous scientific study. In this greatly expanded edition, Lipton, a former medical school professor and research scientist, explores his own experiments and those of other leading-edge scientists that have unraveled in ever greater detail how truly connected the mind, body, and spirit are. It is now widely recognized that genes and DNA do not control our biology. Instead, they are controlled by signals from outside the cell, including energetic messages emanating from our thoughts. This profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics puts the power to create a healthy, joyous life back in our own hands. When we transform our conscious and subconscious thoughts, we transform our lives, and in the process help humanity evolve to a new level of understanding and peace.
