Valerie Varan - Living In a Quantum Reality: Using Quantum Physics and Psychology to Embrace Your Higher Consciousness

This is a welcome addition to the growing literature of quantum psychology. I found it interesting and useful and you will too. The author has a lively readable style to boot.

Amit Goswami, quantum physicist and author of Quantum Creativity and Quantum Economics

I was recently working on an article about why Energy Psychology is referred to as such and the integral connection between energy, consciousness, and universal consciousness, when along came Valerie Varan's book Living in a Quantum Reality. Synchronicity? Absolutely! This is a remarkable book that offers an in-depth excursion into Valerie's consulting room, and helps us to get in touch with our energy, consciousness, higher self and more. The book explores varieties of our energy from slower to higher vibration, a profoundly important understanding of who we really are. Read this, and read it again and again. Absorb the wisdom and the practical exercises and suggestions for reaching higher levels of vibration and consciousness. This is a book needed for our time.

Fred P. Gallo, PhD, DCEP, author of Energy Psychology, and president of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology

Modern science is beginning to learn that the subtle energy field of the body, also known as the aura, affects our health and well-being in many ways. It carries the patterns of growth and repair that govern the physical body, and it connects us to the higher spiritual planes involving past lives and the deeper reasons we are here in this lifetime. By working with these deep connections it is possible to achieve healing in ways that are impossible using conventional psychology. Valerie Varan, in her pioneering book Living in a Quantum Reality, has taken the important step of showing how these energies can be used in the therapeutic process, and has made a valuable contribution to energy psychology.

Dr. Claude Swanson, author of Life Force, the Scientific Basis

Living in a Quantum Reality brings 21st Century science to the emotional and spiritual challenges of living in the 21st Century. Starting with an ambitious, if speculative, synthesis of consciousness studies and quantum physics, the book provides wise guidance for all of us grappling with a world that is in terrifying chaos while teeming with unprecedented opportunities.

David Feinstein, PhD, author of The Promise of Energy Psychology and co-author of The Energies of Love: Using Energy Medicine to Keep Your Relationship Thriving

On one level this book offers intriguing information on the intersection between quantum physics and psychology. On another level it challenges therapists and healers to consider the totality, both seen and unseen, of the person in front of them and of the space in between.

Julie Uhernik RN, LPC, NCC, author of Using Neuroscience in Trauma Therapy

As I am reading Valerie's book, I am struck with the exciting possibilities of what it would be like to vibrate with higher energies on a more regular basis. Finally, I can see that dissolving my human boundaries doesn't have to feel scary because I might be losing myself, but rather that I would be GAINING the Universe and the thrilling possibility of what that might mean. It has helped me realize how my fears are holding me back to becoming what I am meant to be. The more I read, the more excited I become and the higher I vibrate!! I can honestly say that for the first time I am understanding what it feels like to let go and feel the subtle connectedness to all that is!!

Judy Ford, LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor

I have, as a clinical social worker doing independent practice twenty-three years, used energy psychology for seventeen years as a mainstay of my work with clients. However, I have always wanted a more in-depth understanding of the way energy actually operates in the body/mind. What Valerie shares about energy makes this possible. I have been astonished at her curiosity into and the scope of her knowledge of energy, and how we can take more advantage of it in the process of growth and healing.

With gratitude to all of my teachers, no matter in what plane they reside; to quantum pioneers in every discipline; to my dear clients; and to my husband, family, and friends, who have long supported my soul work. Special thanks to Allison and each of the staff at Turning Stone Press, to Heather Crank for her patience and persistence in illustrating the Consciousness Map, and to Caroline Pincus, my developmental editor, for without her vision, this book would surely have never materialized.

This book is not intended to dismiss, describe, prescribe, diagnose, cure, or treat any form of mental or physical medical condition or illness. Nor is it intended to serve as psychotherapy, as medical advice, or as a substitute for care under a licensed mental health provider or physician. This book is strictly a guide to the growth of the spiritual soul within each of us. Client case examples are a composite of many clients and are not intended to represent one single client. Any example appearing to do so is with permission or is accidental... or, rather, synchronous.

On a recent trip to Florida, I felt a pull to sit by a particular young woman, so I did. You seem bubbly... like me! I smiled, though I don't usually say things like that since on plane rides I tend to sit quietly by the window and read. She responded enthusiastically, and began to tell me about her job in the healthcare field and the masters' program in healthcare administration in which she was enrolled. That sparked my attention, given that I too am in the field. Law of Attraction? Hmmm. As she continued to speak, I would feel inspired to tell her about something of my work, so I would.

Our conversation seemed to naturally flow in the direction of quantum topics, such as energy, coherent fields, the power of love to heal, and so forth. It seemed that any of this information that I would reveal, she would not only gobble up but also instantly generalize to her life, both personal and professional. Then we would talk some more. I would feel intuited to share something else about these topics, she would gobble that up, too, and, again, would completely get it and share insights with me that were downloading for her.

It was shortly after I had described to her the concept of archetypal and blueprint fields of energy and consciousness, upon which the material body or form is knitted that her entire body jerked. She looked stunned, then responded to my inquisitive gaze by saying that she had just felt something like a bolt of lightning come in through the top of her head and run down through her left shoulder.

We laughed as I replied, Well, I guess you had so many downloads of consciousness as we were talking that your entire body had to be physically adjusted! It is that instantly that we can take quantum leaps in consciousness.
