This integration is the most fascinating aspect of the paradigm shift in science right now; however, until now only physicists have written about integrating psychology and physics, but psychologists have been quiet about it perhaps because physics still scares most psychologists.

Riding the Horse Backwards is a wonderful case study, filled with presentations and analysis of personal work done by the Mindells working individuals during open seminars.

In bridging divisions between psychotherapy, medicine and physics, it provides both client and therapist with a flexible and integrative approach to the total personality.

In a culture polarized between the pro-medication propaganda of pharmaceutical companies on the one hand, and the anti-medication agenda of some activists on the other, we offer a harm reduction approach to help people make their own decisions.

Many people do find psychiatric drugs helpful and choose to continue taking them: At the same time, psychiatric drugs carry great dangers and can sometimes do terrible harm, even becoming bigger problems than the conditions they were prescribed to treat.

I'm not sure I understand all of them, but with I did - they are amazing new for me. In the appendices you can catch up on the basics of quantum thinking and vectors. Although a highly credentialed Ph. Arnie Mindell is not difficult to understand. What is hard to fathom is why no other psychologist has seen these connections before.

Most psychologists provide insight, therapy, and personality adjustments based on the assumption that individuals must adjust to society and culture. How can we ever become well-adjusted if that which we are seeking to adapt to is itself somewhat out of balance? If we look to nature and physics for a model of relationships between matter, particles, and movement and how they interact, we can align our psychological inner work to mirror the way all things involving matter and energy perform. Sentient awareness involves not just the everyday adjustments we accept to function in civilization, but also a welcoming of the noetic, the ineffable, and the dream-like, among other subtle pressures from forces in the Universe.

Thanks to the www. With many practical exercises, this book explores how and why dreams influences your biology, and how emotions are linked to invisible, quantum dimensions of symptoms.

According to innovative psychotherapist Arnold Mindell, PhD, we already do. The seeds of dreaming arise in every moment of the day, in body symptoms, problems, relationships, subtile feelings, interactions, random thoughts, and fantasies.

All are signs from the world of dreaming. And, according to Mindell, we can be in this state of lucid dreaming all day long. The goal, he says, is to be wide awake and lucid 24 hours a day in the midst of this unending dreamfield of information. Dreaming is the mystical source of reality, says Mindell. New Edition by the Deep Democracy Exchange. This book connects, in a step-by-step, and elementary fashion, psychology and dreamwork with math and quantum physics, to create the basis for a new integrated science. Topics from the psychology of numbers to the creation of the universe and the origins of reality are considered.

Quantum Mind is at the forefront of a paradigm shift that may be unprecedented in scope. He communicates concepts from diverse fields in an effective, exciting, and reader-friendly way. For example, he uses metaphors that will help some readers appreciate nature more: Alice in Wonderland to compare CR with NCR, a juggler to illustrate shuffling symmetry, highway speeding to illustrate the uncertainty principle, and athletic fields to explain mathematical fields. Nuggets of perennial wisdom, familiar to many people on paths of self-development, come alive as Quantum Mind relates them to mathematical and scientific principles.

Complete with its practical exercises, this book can be not only read but also experienced. Comments from Fred Alan Wolf, Ph. What Mindell accomplishes is breathtaking in its scope, and in its ability to communicate difficult ideas easily in a friendly teaching manner. Using his notes from the course taught for years to students of psychology, his experience as a therapist and physicist, and his clear writing ability makes this book a must-read for students and lay persons interested in the ever-growing field of depth psychology.

Mindell sprinkles psychological exercises throughout the text providing the reader with imagined experiences of entering a black hole, appearing in parallel universes, taking the mind boggling quantum leap, and many, many others. It is at once a physics text, psychology text, and a friendly popular read.

I highly recommend it. A dramatic text filled with examples about how to deal with abuse, revenge, anger and rage in multicultural settings. Worldwork is aimed at hearing all that needs to be represented in the group; transforming the patterns of abuse and domination, which permeate most cultures and groups, through paying attention to the effects of power, rank, revenge and abuse.

Sitting in the Fire is a thought-provoking study of the humanness which pervades all groups and somehow organizes their interactions; those dynamics which seem to overtake us and give us the feeling that large group interactions are unsafe and difficult to deal with. Mindell explains how this happens, outlines strategies for staying aware and techniques to facilitate the transformation of situations beyond our known comfort zone.
