INTENTIONAL HEALING

Achterberg offers scientific background material on intentional healing, including healing that takes place through prayer and distance healing. She is methodical in her presentation and outlines scientific research clearly, personalizing it with anecdotal evidence that she has observed and some in which she has played a part. She intensely recounts her own experience with cancer and the healing support she received after traditional medicine offered no treatment or hope. Her presentation is generally subdued and understated, emphasizing the extent to which these precepts, and related beliefs, can be integrated into "ordinary" life, as well as the extraordinary aspects of life.
