Resonance

Written by  Joyce Whiteley Hawkes, PH.D.

Nine Practices for Harmonious Health and Vitality

Publisher's Description:

In Resonance, internationally respected cell biologist and healing facilitator, Joyce Hawkes, Ph.D., offers the best of science, spirit, and storytelling. Richly detailed with Joyce’s experiences studying shamanic healing in South East Asia and stories of the people she has assisted back to health, this book will allow readers to explore their own ability to heal at every level. They will discover current research and fascinating findings about the language of their cells and how these tiny constituents of the body communicate, connect, and touch. 

Alongside this biological backdrop, they’ll find fresh mind-body imagery, insights, and empowering healing techniques that will take them on a deep inner journey.Throughout the book, Hawkes also describes the profound, numinous experiences she shared with shamans, priests, and healers. Each chapter is presented as a couplet—two words, two related ideas that together provide a simple, grounded starting place for a personal practice of health and vitality. Resonance gives readers valuable tools to enhance their health at the cell-level, their spirit at the soul-level, and their consciousness at the mystery-level.

Editor's Thoughts:

This is another one of those books that I looked at and sighed, "Another metaphysical rehash." But I was wrong. I love books where the staunch pragmatist or traditional thinker has a compelling experience that jets them off into a world of open-mindedness. This is a book that reads well. It is insightful, beautiful, and at the same time practical and down to earth. I love how it integrates science and the esoteric. I recommend it.

About the Author:

Joyce Whiteley Hawkes, Ph.D., is a biophysicist and cell biologist by training. She completed her doctorate in biophysics at Pennsylvania State University and was a postdoctoral fellow with the National Institutes of Health before settling in Seattle to work in research for the National Marine Fisheries Service, a part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. While there, she was honored with a National Achievement Award for her work. 

She is currently a fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Joyce has earned an international reputation for her scientific contributions in the field of ultrahigh-speed laser effects on pigment cells and the effects of environmental pollutants on fish. After a near-death experience, Joyce embarked on an extensive exploration of spiritual and healing traditions in Western and Eastern cultures. From a master’s degree in ministry at a Jesuit University to Hindu temples in remote parts of Bali, she learned to work at the interface between the miracle of the body’s cells and the wisdom of healing traditions. Since 1984, Joyce has devoted herself to facilitating and teaching healing locally, nationally, and internationally
