Radionic Patient Survey
Radionics: A Patient Survey by Tom Lafferty MSc, HFRadA, MRadA Reprinted from Radionic Journal 49 (1), 27-35 (January 2004) Radionic Association, Baerlein House, Goose Green, Deddington OX15 0SZ T/F +44 (0)1869 338852 [email protected] web: www.radionic.co.uk 27 Radionics: A Patient Survey by Tom Lafferty MSc, HFRadA, MRadA Introduction A patient survey was conducted in 1996 and was successful in evaluating patients’ perceptions of the benefits they had received from radionic treat- ment (see Winter 1998 Journal; 44(2), 17-24). The exercise was repeated in 2002 using a similar questionnaire to see if the picture had changed and also to generate information as a guide to dis- cussion on future actions by the Radionic Association. 83 patients, selected randomly, agreed to participate but in the event only 59 (71%) returned a completed questionnaire. Note: The value of the type of research carried out here was confirmed by an item in the Prince of Wales’s Foundation for Integrated Health Oct 2003 newsletter which read: ‘A report has been published by Tyne and Wear Health Action Zone which explores the patients’ perspective of complementary medicine (CM) and its perceived impact on their mental health and wellbeing. The research is based on qualitative data from the integrated healthcare pilot study in Newcastle Primary Care Trust. The report concludes that the fundamental approach and philosophy of CM has had a positive effect.’ ‘The pilot study came third in the Foundation’s 2001 Awards for Good Practice in Integrated Healthcare and is shortlisted for this year’s Awards.’ Summary of Findings 1. -
Pain, Dissociation and Posttraumatic Growth
ACTIVITAS Activitas Nervosa Superior 2009;51:3,103-108 NERVOSA REVIEW SUPERIOR ARTICLE PAIN, DISSOCIATION AND POSTTRAUMATIC GROWTH Petr Bob* Center for Neuropsychiatric Research of Traumatic Stress & Department of Psychiatry, 1st Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic Received August 18, 2009; accepted September 12, 2009 Abstract Painful experience involving psychological and physical dimension is most frequently understood as a dangerous signal from physical and social environment. In this context recent psychological research in posttraumatic growth strongly suggests that pain in its consequences must not be only hurtful experience as such but may have a unique psychological dimension for human development and growth. Acceptation of pain experience as not only negative sheds new light to this problem and has important consequences for psychotherapy as a unique opportunity to resolve psychological conflict and intensive inner suffering. These findings are particularly important for human growth and spirituality, and are in contrast to hedonic aspect of our culture that tend to ignore painful experience as a part of human life that can uncover real meaning of personal existence and self-reflection as an essential principle for learning and creative process of under- standing.

The Body in Wellbeing Spirituality
JAY JOHNSTON The body in Wellbeing Spirituality Self, spirit beings and the politics of difference Introduction New religious movements of the nineteenth century—notably the Theo sophical Society and Spiritualism—endowed western culture with an ener getic concept of the self: that is, with a model of the body that proposed the individual to be constituted by a ‘spiritual’ or subtle substance. This model of the body—the subtle body—was not new to western esoteric traditions, however, its presentation at this time melded with subtle body schemes from Hindu traditions (primarily Yoga traditions) and provided the groundwork for the popularisation of a concept of the body and self as being comprised of an energetic anatomy. This model of the self has continued unabated into con temporary consumer culture and underpins the vast majority of mind–body concepts in Complementary and Alternative Medical (CAM) practices. This article is concerned with the subtle body models currently found in Wellbeing Spirituality healing modalities. In particular, it considers their ontological and metaphysical propositions with regard to an ethics of difference: both ener getic and cultural. Therefore, two distinct types of discourse will be examined and discussed: that of popular culture and that of Continental philosophy (especially feminist and poststructural). Both provide methods for under standing the enduring popularity of subtle body concepts of the self and the challenging ethical relations that the model presupposes. ‘Difference’ herein refers to the term’s use in the Continental philosophic al tradition, in particular following the thought of Emmanuel Levinas in the proposition of a radical difference, or alterity. -
A Psychology of Possession
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Wales Trinity Saint David A PSYCHOLOGY OF POSSESSION DR PETER CONNOLLY Introduction : The Nature of Trance Although widespread, the phenomenon of possession does not appear in all cultures. This suggests that possession is a cultural artefact, either in the strong sense of being nothing more than a cultural creation or in the weaker one of culture moulding and shaping universal psychological processes in socially relevant ways. My own approach to understanding possession lies very much within the framework of the weaker version. The hypothesis I will seek to develop is essentially that the phenomena of possession are best understood in terms of the psychological processes associated with the term ‘trance’. I use this term deliberately and in full awareness of the reservations about its usefulness expressed by some psychologists. Among hypnosis researchers there are three broad approaches to explaining the nature of trance. The first is that which emphasises socio-cognitive factors such as role play and imaginative involvement in suggested experiences. In short, this approach explains away any feature of trance which provides it with a distinctive character. This view would be compatible with what I have called the strong version of cultural artifactualism. Another approach emphasizes that trance is a genuine altered state of consciousness which differs from ordinary consciousness in a variety of ways, most notably in that reflexive, executive or ego consciousness – what many hypnotists call ‘the conscious mind’ – is dissociated from unconscious processes. The third approach is more diffuse, combining the first two explanations and, depending on the writer, perhaps adding a few other elements to produce a kind of multi-variable theory. -

Off the Pedestal, on the Stage: Animation and De-Animation in Art
Off the Pedestal; On the Stage Animation and De-animation in Art and Theatre Aura Satz Slade School of Fine Art, University College, London PhD in Fine Art 2002 Abstract Whereas most genealogies of the puppet invariably conclude with robots and androids, this dissertation explores an alternative narrative. Here the inanimate object, first perceived either miraculously or idolatrously to come to life, is then observed as something that the live actor can aspire to, not necessarily the end-result of an ever evolving technological accomplishment. This research project examines a fundamental oscillation between the perception of inanimate images as coming alive, and the converse experience of human actors becoming inanimate images, whilst interrogating how this might articulate, substantiate or defy belief. Chapters i and 2 consider the literary documentation of objects miraculously coming to life, informed by the theology of incarnation and resurrection in Early Christianity, Byzantium and the Middle Ages. This includes examinations of icons, relics, incorrupt cadavers, and articulated crucifixes. Their use in ritual gradually leads on to the birth of a Christian theatre, its use of inanimate figures intermingling with live actors, and the practice of tableaux vivants, live human figures emulating the stillness of a statue. The remaining chapters focus on cultural phenomena that internalise the inanimate object’s immobility or strange movement quality. Chapter 3 studies secular tableaux vivants from the late eighteenth century onwards. Chapter 4 explores puppets-automata, with particular emphasis on Kempelen's Chess-player and the physical relation between object-manipulator and manipulated-object. The main emphasis is a choreographic one, on the ways in which live movement can translate into inanimate hardness, and how this form of movement can then be appropriated. -

The Lost Book on Crystals, Energy, Dowsing-1
“The LOST Book on Psychic Energy, Crystal Energy, Treasure Dowsing, & Psychic Sensitive’s!” I. This book was originally written in 1846 based upon scientific research started in 1841. II. It is a scientific book that proved the concept of vital force. III. It proves scientifically that vital force is directional, and that certain directions are positive for humans and other directions are not positive for humans. IV. At the same time Carl von Reichenbach accidentally proved scientifically the existence of psychics, sensitives, telepathy and clairvoyance. V. He proved scientifically that magnetized water improves health. VI. He proved scientifically, and experimentally how and why “water dowsing” works. VII. He proved scientifically that Mesmerism is a valid psychological tool to train psychics. VIII. He scientifically proven the sun and moon affect humans and humans who are “sensitive” can notice and use that knowledge. © 2012 Dr. John La Tourrette, [email protected], 541-535-3188 The Baron Dr. Carl von Reichenbach Reichenbach was educated at the University of Tübingen, where he obtained the degree of doctor of philosophy. Directing his attention to the application of science to the industrial arts, he established the first modern metallurgical company, with forges of his own in Villingen and Hausach in the Black Forest region of Southern Germany and later in Baden. From 1830 to 1834 he investigated complex products of the distillation of organic substances such as coal and wood tar, discovering a number of valuable hydrocarbon compounds including creosote, paraffin, eupione and phenol (antiseptics), pittacal and cidreret (synthetic dyestuffs), picamar (a perfume base), assamar, capnomor, and others.
