Synopsis

Contemporary science holds that the brain rules the body and generates all our feelings and perceptions. Michael Jawer and Dr. Marc Micozzi disagree. They contend that it is our feelings that underlie our conscious selves and determine what we think and how we conduct our lives. The less consciousness we have of our emotional being, the more physical disturbances we are likely to have, from ailments such as migraines, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and post-traumatic stress to anomalous perceptions such as apparitions and involuntary out-of-body experiences. Using the latest scientific research on immunity, sensation, stress, cognition and emotional expression, the authors demonstrate that the way we process our feelings provides a key as to who is most likely to experience these phenomena and why. They explain that emotion is a portal into the world of extraordinary perception and they provide the studies that validate the science behind telepathic dreams, poltergeists and ESP. THE SPIRITUAL ANATOMY OF EMOTION challenges the prevailing belief that the brain must necessarily rule the body. Far from being by-products of neurochemistry, the authors show that emotions are the key vehicle by which we can understand ourselves and our interactions with the world around us as well as our most intriguing and perennially baffling experiences. · Contends that emotion is the greatest influence on personality development · Offers a new perspective on immunity, stress, and psychosomatic conditions · Explains how emotion is key to understanding out-of-body experience, apparitions, and other anomalous perceptions

Review:

"Michael Jawer and Dr. Micozzi challenge readers and scientifically confirm what in our hearts we have always known...who we are and what we do is determined by much more than what lies in our brains."--Robin S. Phillips, ForeWord Reviews, Sept/Oct 2009

"The authors have previously documented an apparent overlap between anomalous perceptions and various physical sensitivities. . .explains what the overlap might mean, i.e., how it sheds light on the development of the self and the foundational role of sentience in shaping our cognitions, memories, and dreams."--ASD International Association for the Study of Dreams, Sept 2009

"This book is particularly valuable for anyone who is especially sensitive to the environment (light, noise, smell, chemicals), since it puts those experiences in a new context and helps us understand the benefits and side effects of being unusually sensitive."--Elaine Zablocki, Townsend Letter, The Examiner of Alternative Medicine, Oct 2009

"The paranormal is looked at in a completely fresh and new way, as a natural component to more creative, sensitive ways of relating. . . . This book is a must for any counselor, therapist, or medical professional. For the rest of us, well, there are many surprises here."--P.M.H. Atwater, L.H.D, author of The Big Book of Near-Death Experiences and The New Children and Nea

"Neurochemistry and new age thought blend in a fine research-based examination perfect for new age and science libraries alike."--The Midwest Book Review, Oct 2009

"The Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion makes remarkably good sense. Both the scientist and the student will learn immensely from it. If you really want to know how highly I think of the book, I read it twice."--The Amazing Kreskin, Dec 2009

"The Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion begins by looking at our assumptions and misassumptions about emotions. In particular, I was intrigued by the dialogue about sensitivities. . . . very interesting and well worth more examination."--Tami Brady, TCM Reviews, July 2010

"It is very readable, very informative--and highly recommended." --Robert A. Charman, Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, October 2010

." . . well written and is almost as encyclopedia of research on anomalous experiences, plus even more interesting science about trauma, emotions, electromagnetic energy, and the body/mind. You will learn a lot and enjoy it." --The Highly Sensitive Person, December 2010

"Jawer and Micozzi articulate one of the most profound understandings of consciousness since Descartes. The book brings Antonio Damasio's 'feeling brain' into full embodiment. It is a monumental contribution to understanding ourselves as human beings." --Allan Combs, Ph.D., author of The Radiance of Being
