This revelation by Dr. Candace Pert challenges conventional science—and everyone interested in total wellness—to reconsider how our bodies think, feel, and heal. As the leading pioneer in a radical new science of life, this bestselling author and world-class neuroscientist has given us an inside look at the molecular drama being staged within every cell of the human body—and a glimpse into the future of medicine. Now, in her own words, Dr. Pert describes her extraordinary search for the grail of the body's inborn intelligence with Your Body Is Your Subconscious Mind. Dr. Pert first came to prominence when she dazzled the scientific community with her discovery of the opiate receptor in 1972. But this breakthrough event was only the beginning of a uniquely productive—and often controversial—career. On Your Body Is Your Subconscious Mind, Dr. Pert describes her efforts over the past two decades to actually decode the information molecules, such as peptides and their receptors, that regulate every aspect of human physiology. Her model of how these biochemicals flow and resonate, distributing information to every cell in the body simultaneously, has unlocked the secret of how emotions literally transform our bodies—and create our health. Easily shifting from a bench scientist's view to a spiritual one, she relates her research to past and present mind/body topics, ranging from AIDS and cancer to the chakra system. Dr. Pert's personal and compelling voice makes this a listening experience that is part detective story, part spiritual odyssey—and entirely irresistible. Your Body Is Your Subconscious Mind takes you on a scientific adventure of the first order, escorted by this pathfinder, iconoclast, and "goddess of neuroscience."

This audiobook may turn into a 5-star (=life-changing for me) but for now I guess I was hoping it would tell me more about how to *change* my subconscious mind in order to improve my physical body. Of course that isn't what the title actually says. One observable proof of the title is that folks with multiple personality disorders actually have differences in their body for each personality (one persona may be near-sighted while another is far-sighted and one may have extreme allergies while ano This audiobook may turn into a 5-star (=life-changing for me) but for now I guess I was hoping it would tell me more about how to *change* my subconscious mind in order to improve my physical body. Of course that isn't what the title actually says. One observable proof of the title is that folks with multiple personality disorders actually have differences in their body for each personality (one persona may be near-sighted while another is far-sighted and one may have extreme allergies while another is fine). Pert is a scientist famous at first for discovering some receptors and it seemed like a lot of this book was talking about neuropeptides and how every cell on your body has (receptors for) them. While these chemicals affect how your body feels, they seem to be generated by your consciousness. I also found it interesting that she says every cell/receptor knows how many times it has been "hit," so it also knows it has been over- or under-stimulated. That's why she says drug users are actually narrowing their responsiveness. She said a large percentage of people on dialysis got there from overuse of sugar. Overuse of sugar is the aspect of my life I have got to change! Maybe I will learn this in my next read, _The Gift of Our Compulsions._ Other interesting claims in the book. She said cancer is almost entirely a result of environmental pollutants. She said how ironic it was that foods and drugs supposedly have to go through months of rigorous testing, but you can put anything you want in a milk carton liner, or in carpet glue that thousands of people in an office building will breathe for months. Like Laurel Mellin, she also said our brains are wired for joy, and talked about some ways to increase this including sex (studies of monogamous behavior in other animals or intimacy after disasters--human relationships formed after disasters seem to be very long-lasting), but also connecting with Nature--she mentioned that the brain & body are about 30,000 years old and at the time they evolved people lived naturally-- eating, exercising, and thinking in nature. This thinking in nature part I think will be explained more in another book I am currently reading, _The Open-Focus Brain_.

Wonderfully informative. I only wish I had it in book format rather than audio since I am more a visual learner. (I took lots of notes.) I believe that Dr. Candace Pert was one of the first in mainstream medicine to come out with ideas that reveal the connection between mind, body, spirit and emotions. Dr. Pert dares to say that so many drugs damaage us more than they heal us and speaks about the fact that there is no research proving that chemo cures most cancers.

I absolutely love this book. The scientific explanations are easily understood. It explained spirituality beautifully. Fantastic read.

My favorite of all her work. The concept that our bodies are in fact our subconscious fits with everything I have learned in my mystical experiences. Love her work!
