    Dr. Andrew Weil explores the phenomenon of spontaneous healing

    for Common Ground Spring 1998

    by Virginia Lee

    Dr. Andrew Weil has almost become a household word. Having graced the covers of magazines like TIME and New Age, having given dozens of TV interviews on everything from CNN to Oprah Winfrey, it's not surprising that Andrew Weil currently has two books on the New York Times bestseller list. Spontaneous Healing has been there since its publication and meteoric rise back in 1995. And his most recent book, 8 Weeks to Optimum Health, had no trouble doing the same when it was released in 1997.[/I]

    In addition, Dr. Weil maintains one of the top ten websites on the Internet,"Ask Dr. Weil." During the first week of January ...

    An interview with intuitive healer, Caroline Myss

    for Common Ground Winter 1997

    by Virginia Lee

    Caroline Myss has been many things in her life: a publisher, an historian, a theologian, a writer, a healer. Of all her careers, the most unusual has been that of a medical intuitive.

    In 1982, Caroline was consumed by her career at Stillpoint as a publisher of avant-garde books. Ironically, Caroline had an aversion to anything New Age in her personal life. She drank gallons of coffee, and hated wind chimes and crystals. Yet she began to experience medical clairvoyance: Just by hearing a person's name and their age, she would receive images in her mind's eye diagnosing their illness.

    When Caroline met Dr. Norm Shealy, a unique     ...

    An Interview with Dr. Bernie Siegel

    for Common Ground Winter 1996

    by Virginia Lee

    This interview is a miracle in itself. When I received the assignment to interview Dr. Bernie Siegel, an accomplished East Coast surgeon and author of the bestseller Love, Medicine and Miracles, (and later Peace, Love and Healing and How to Live Between Office Visits), I thought it would go smoothly as usual, like the countless interviews I've done since 1978 when I began my career in new age journalism.

    But after my initial interview with Dr. Siegel in mid-October 1995, my worst nightmare came true. After 90 minutes of brilliant conversation full of insight, quotes and anecdotes, I discovered that not a single word of it was recorded on tape.

    Healing the Wounded Heart

    Dr. Dean Ornish recommends a prescription of love

    for Common Ground Summer 1998

    by Virginia Lee

    Dr. Dean Ornish first became well-known for his radical treatment of heart disease through a conscientious program of diet and exercise, which was outlined in his 1990 bestseller, Reversing Heart Disease. Undeniably, Ornish's work has augmented a growing trend toward low-fat, vegetarian eating trends in American culture. Now that Americans are making healthier food choices, and can find an abundance of natural food products in grocery stores from coast to coast, Ornish takes his awareness of treating heart disease to a deeper, more personal level.

    Motivated by circumstances in his own life, Ornish     ...

    Gerry Jampolsky & Diane Cirincione explain how the miraculous power of love can change your life

    for Common Ground Fall 1993

    by Virginia Lee

    Inspired by divine guidance, Gerry Jampolsky let go of a lucrative psychiatric practice in 1975 and started The Center for Attitudinal Healing in Tiburon as a place where children with life-threatening illness could find some emotional and spiritual support. Funded on slightly more than a shoestring, the Center ran on little more than faith for the first several years. Gerry Jampolsky’s newly discovered path of love, however, soon brought him together with Diane Cirincione, his wife and partner ever since.

    Dr. Gerry Jampolsky became internationally     ...

    Superhuman or Super Obese?

    Obesity in America is the number one health threat. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have already warned the public about the looming threat; it sends over 400,000 Americans to an early grave each year, the numbers are increasing consistently and it is responsible for most health conditions today.

    Wikipedia: Superhuman can mean an improved human, for example, by genetic modification, cybernetic implants, or as what humans might evolve into, in the distant future.

    Abraham Maslow, the founder of humanistic psychology, summed up the concept of Self-Actualization as: “A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be. ...
