Praise for The Complete Handbook of Quantum Healing

A thoughtful, comprehensive synthesis of a multifaceted approach to healing. Consider this a practical and necessary extension of the work of Rosalyn Bruyere, Barbara Brennan, and Caroline Myss.

Belleruth Naparstek, LISW, creator of the Health Journeys guided imagery series and author of Invisible Heroes: Survivors of Trauma and How They Heal and Your Sixth Sense

Dr. Minich's book is one of the most important books you'll ever read. More than just a wellness book, The Complete Handbook of Quantum Healing describes how to apply the ancient wisdom of the energy centers called Chakras to everyday life in ways that can radically improve your health immediately. From the very start, she shows you how to achieve a whole new level of transformation physically, emotionally, and spiritually. You will marvel at how the small shifts and incremental changes she offers produce authentic health and healing. Dr. Minich is simply brilliant.

Dr. Sheila Dean, author of Nutrition & Endurance: Where Do I Begin

[You will find] gems of information on every page for understanding your body and how to be an ally to its healing process.

Steve Sisgold, author of the bestselling book What's Your Body Telling You?

A much-needed guide for those wanting to take advantage of the best of what many different healing modalities have to offer. It is divided by ailments, which makes it incredibly practical and easy to use. It will save you having to read countless books since all the info is distilled and organized for you. But most of all, it will give you sound advice to take responsibility for your own health, and do it successfully. I recommend this book with enthusiasm and without reservation.

Alejandro Junger, MD, author of the bestselling book Clean

If you want to take back the power to control your own health, then you'll want Quantum Healing on your nightstand. With wisdom and intelligence, Deanna Minich shines the light on how we all have the ability to use our mind and spirit to heal our bodies.

Christine Arylo, cofounder of Inner Mean Girl Reform School

Deanna Minich has done it again! She has managed to write yet another book that is not only an easy step-by-step guide to healing but spiritually practical, too. We all have health issues from time to time, and her approach is to look more deeply at the issue so that you go to the source rather than just treat the symptom. Deanna is a true wellspring of knowledge, and this book is truly a must have. Each of her books leaves me feeling like I have gone to a beautiful retreat to refresh my soul.

Anni Daulter, MSW, author of Organically Raised: Conscious Cooking for Babies & Toddlers

This book is a wonderful integration of Eastern and Western healing disciplines. It is beautifully organized with tables, questionnaires, and diagrams to facilitate use by healers or those who need healing.

Scott Rigden, MD, author of The Ultimate Metabolism Diet

Whether your need for healing relates to a physical condition such as cancer or an emotional one such as worrying, this handbook will give you an incredible seven-part approach to regaining the balance and health you want in your life. The explanations for everything have been made very accessible, easy to understand, and clear to implement. The Complete Handbook of Quantum Healing needs to be in every home and healing office for quick and easy access. It truly is an amazing body of work and we are fortunate to have it.

For Ian

Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.

JOSEPH CAMPBELL

Each of us is part of the immense, intricate web of existence. We are but a mere strand, and at the same time, we are the web. When you write a book, you weave together information that becomes part of a larger pattern. During the time I spent writing this book, I have been overcome with the realization of the profundity of my past and present interactions, and within my heart, I bow in humble gratitude to those who have contributed to the greater whole of who I have become; the essence I carry has bee uncovered, unleashed, and cultivated by a multitude of individuals. I could never capture everyone in a few short paragraphs, but I'll make an attempt to acknowledge the individuals who have rippled my web or helped me to be the synthesizer of intuitive and scientific knowledge.

I dedicate this book to my brother, Ian, and to him I extend a bouquet of gratitude from the inner reaches of my heart. Ian was gifted in connecting with his intuition, his soul, and his deepest side, and because of him, I learned about authenticity and exploration. Now that he is in spirit form, I feel him gently guiding and helping me find the answers I seek.

Healing is definitely in my blood, and I acknowledge and respect its origins. These origins probably go way back, but I am most familiar with the compassionate healing and grace extended through the reach of my grandmother, Elizabeth, who taught me integrity and standing one's ground. My parents, John and Sharon, have been two beautiful mentors to me and have influenced my life path greatly. I am blessed to have had their fire and air elements to bring my earthy self to life. I thank my sister, Brenda, for being the patient listener she is; she has become a force of great support for everyone in my family.

Aside from family, I thank the ripples of friends that I have met through the yearsLaurie, Shonai, Ketan, Scott R., Ann, Annette, Andy, Peter, Tibor, Wieger (Spider), Soumya, Barbara, Brian, Nicole, Kenny, Barb S., Donna, Scott W., Epiphanio, Lyra, Kristi, Mink, Bob, Joe, Jeff B., and Jack, to name just a few. Thank you for sharing your hearts with me and letting me share my dreams with you.

I thank all the (spiritual) teachers I have met, studied with, or been influenced by: Paramahansa Yogananda, Patrice Connelly, Caroline Myss, Cyndi Dale, the teachers of the Pathways organization in Minneapolis, Louise Hay, Char Sundust, and Robin Carter. Thank you all for opening me to your techniques and wisdom, which have been woven in the collective of my spirit, heart, and body.

Thank you to the angels of the literary worldmy agent, Krista Goering, who shines with brilliance and insight, and my editor, Caroline Pincus, who creates beauty and clarity within the expanse of text.
