First, let me admit most of this book sort of goes in one eye & out the other haha but Ernest Rossi's book called "Psychobiology of Gene Expression" is really cool because he explains (in excruciatingly scientific detail) what the body really does when we THINK about things. That's really putting it simply!
But it really helped me understand why having positive intentions etc. etc. is crucial.
Of course it's soooo much easier to express it in terms of "chi" than on the molecular level.... I recommend it esp. for folks in this tribe, as it's nice to get the other side of the story, know what I mean?

Re: weighty tome but worth slogging thru
Fri, March 2, 2007 - 8:00 AMIt's good to actually find scholarly work on the subject too! thanks for the recommendation, I'm putting this on my wishlist.
At $45, I'll be looking hard for a used copy!

but there's also an espcially cool bit in there relevant for teaching, when you get people who voice their negative mindsets ("I can't" etc.), and how to use that process to improve. My favorite Rossi quote: "Every recall is a potentially therapeutic reframe." Get the idea?
Also really helped me understand the whole "pray for your enemies; do good to those that hurt you" Jesus thing. Or did I already mention that? -
