The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, & Miracles

With more than 100,000 copies sold of his self-published book, The Biology of Belief, Bruce Lipton teams up with Hay House to bring his message to an even wider audience. This book is a groundbreaking work in the field of new biology, and it will forever change how you think about thinking. Through the research of Dr. Lipton and other leading-edge scientists, stunning new discoveries have been made about the interaction between your mind and body and the processes by which cells receive information. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology, that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our thoughts. Using simple language, illustrations, humor, and everyday examples, he demonstrates how the new science of Epigenetics is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter and the profound effects it has on our personal lives and the collective life of our species.

Your Energy: The True Source of Self-empowerment

As you begin raising your consciousness and bringing your awareness to your energetic self, it soon becomes clear that the only sustainable source of power is you. This means that you-and only you-have the power to change your situation. In Energy: The Key to Personal Empowerment, author Therese Pares explores this idea and its ramifications for your life.

Every action you take and every thought you have uses your personal energy. You place energetic intention behind everything you do-sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously. If your current way of doing something or interacting with someone isn’t working, then it is time to become aware of your energetic intentions. Your focus should be not your behaviour, but instead on what drives that behaviour.

This guide encourages you to ask questions that raise your self-awareness and enable you to experience the energy dimension that exists. It outlines practical actions that you can take to change your life. You should never stop learning, exploring, and being committed to your own journey. By putting these habits into practice, you can retain and benefit from more of your personal power.
