Egidio, Gene Whose Hands Are These?: A Gifted Healer's Miraculous True Story
Warner Books Inc 1997 0446520454 / 9780446520454 First Edition Hard Cover Near-Fine Near-Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
A photo of this book is available. Near-fine condition. Remainder mark on bottom. NO price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $22.00. Stated First Printing. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 241 pages. Tight spine, bright pages. Dustcover is clean and bright (NO tears). Synopsis The extraordinary journey of Gene Egidio, a man with the ability to heal the sick just by touching them. Publishers Weekly As a child, Egidio allegedly saw auras around people, could sense when they were sick and what was wrong with them, sometimes foresaw the future and once healed a neighbor's thumb that had been nearly sliced through simply by holding it. For this, he was taken to priests and doctors, and finally institutionalized for a year and forced to endure repeated electric shock treatments. These measures did not eliminate Egidio's powers, but taught him to hide them and to keep up a facade of, as he puts it, "Mr. Normal." He grew up, served in the navy, married, raised a family and worked as an electrician. After 25 years, when he suddenly lost his wife, his money and his business, he felt "the universe gave me a wake-up call that was impossible to ignore," and returned to healing, this time as his life's work. Egidio now runs a clinic, and likens the healing he does to "jump-starting a car," allowing energy "from the universe" to pass from him to others. But while his hands may be gifted at healing, they wield a pen awkwardly. Egidio's memoir contains some distracting scenes (e.g., a discussion about UFOs with a Russian reporter), fails to make full use of its recurring theme of electricity as a potentially unifying metaphorand, most crucially, rests on simplistic metaphysics ("The body is merely a servant of the mind"). Still, healing is a charismatic power, and Egidio could reach a wide readership with this book. Author tour. (Aug.) Biography Gene Egidio is a renowned healer, who has traveled the world to treat cancer, AIDS, trauma, tumors, and even plants and animals. He maintains two healing centers, in Encinitas and Santa Monica, California.

Gendlin, Eugene Focusing
Bantam Books 1982 0553257935 / 9780553257939 Mass Market Paperback Very Good + 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
Very-good+, clean copy of this 1982 psychology paperback. Covers are bright and clean (NO tears). 174 pages. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. Pages show light tanning. NO writing or tears inside book. Synopsis A breakthrough method of unlocking the wisdom within your body to solve specific problems and achieve dramatic personal growth and change This original, innovative program of self-therapy enables you to tap into your deepest level of wisdom, the gut-level knowledge that already exists within your body. By accessing this subliminal body-mind awareness (or felt sense) that lies beyond thoughts and feelings, you can get to the root of the conflicts within you, gain a fuller comprehension of your unresolved problems, and solve them. What is focusing? It is a technique of self-therapy that teaches you to identify and change the way your personal problems concretely exist in your body. Unlike methods that stress getting in touch with your feelings, there is a built-in test: each focusing step, when done correctly, is marked by a physical relief, a profound release of tension. Focusing guides you to the deepest level of awareness within your body. It is on this level, unfamiliar to most people, that unresolved problems actually exist, and only on this level can they change. Both a practical guide and a powerful philosophy of personal growth, this effective, proven procedure has wide-ranging applications, including healing, education, business, creative pursuits, and problem solving.
