Balboa Press Opening the Aloha Mind Healing Self Healing the World with Hooponopono by Jim Nourse
"Opening the Aloha Mind is an inspiring discussion of the relationship of human consciousness and our sense of 'I' to the infinite, divine intelligence. It is a refreshing correction to the growing tendency of modern psychiatry to base its models of mental health on brain chemistry that can be modified by medication and a reminder that healing wisdom did not begin in the twentieth century, but in millennia past, and that these ancient approaches can still be accessed." --Larry Dossey, MD, author of Healing Words and One Mind and executive editor of Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing "More than sixty years ago, the Oglala shaman Black Elk predicted that with the closure of this cycle of ages, the primordial spirituality would reemerge and become the foundation for the next cycle. In Opening the Aloha Mind, Dr. Jim Nourse has made a great contribution toward expanding our western understanding of indigenous spiritual wisdom, and in doing so he has created very good medicine indeed." --Hank Wesselman, PhD, anthropologist and author of The Bowl of Light and the Spiritwalker Trilogy "This is wonderful work that can help many. Opening the Aloha Mind gives powerful tools for transformation and healing." --Sandra Ingerman, author of Soul Retrieval and Shamanic Journeying: A Beginner's Guide "This is a rare treasure of a book, weaving an incredible tapestry of the wisdom of the ages for any modern seeker and for anyone involved in service toward others. Jim Nourse shares his personal experience of an ancient, original world culture, and gracefully infuses it with tremendous insight into growing edge psychology and spiritual traditions. His simple, profound, and beautifully written message of the necessity for real self-empowerment is incredibly validating. To read this book is to have an experience of truth." --Tav Sparks, director, Grof Transpersonal Training; author of The Wide Open Door, Movie Yoga and Through Thunder
