Two books translated into over 25 languages explain how emotions bridge the mind and body and are the basis for every aspect of our health. Two musical meditation CDs enhance our natural bliss and ability to heal ourselves and several lectures and interviews further explain mind body medicine.

Healing the Hurting, Shining the Light – Chakras and Modern Neuroscience

The fact that the word “trauma” has been used to describe both physical and mental damage has been a key part of my theory of how the molecules of emotion integrate what we feel at every level of what I’ve called our bodymind. As a practical manner, people have a hard time discriminating between physical and mental pain. So often we are “stuck” in an unpleasant emotional event – a trauma – from the past that is stored at every level of our nervous system and even on the cellular level  i.e. cells that are constantly becoming and renewing the nervous system. My laboratory research has suggested that all of the senses, sight, sound, smell, taste and touch are filtered, and memories stored, through the molecules of emotions, mostly the neuropeptides and their receptors, at every level of the body & mind. Buy it now.

‘A Journey Into How Mind, Body, and Spirit are Inseparable; We are Hardwired for Bliss’

Her scientific work in the 1980′s while a Section Chief at the National Institutes of Health, led to her theory of how the “bodymind” functions as a single psychosomatic network of information molecules which control our health and physiology. She and close colleague Dr. Michael Ruff were among the earliest contributors to “psychoneuroimmunology.”

Her original contemporary theories of the unconscious mind and its influence on psychosomatic illness, happiness, and wellness, led to her 2008 award of the Theophrastus Paracelsus Prize for Holistic Medicine at a recent ceremony in St. Gallen Switzerland.

The movie What the Bleep Do We Know!? features Candace Pert expounding on  how the molecules of emotion color our perception and hence our creation of reality, ideas more thoroughly developed in her first book Molecules of Emotion: the Science Behind Mindbody Medicine (Simon and Schuster, 1998). Her new book Everything You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d (Hayhouse, 2007) is a journey into how mind, body, and spirit are inseparable; we are hard-wired for bliss, which is both physical and divine. Candace has recorded the popular CD Psychosomatic Wellness with guided imagery, affirmations and music designed to efficiently reduce stress, promote relaxation and resolve interrupted healing. She was featured in the Bill Moyer’s PBS series Healing and the Mind, and is a former Research Professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, DC. Dr. Pert is currently Chief Scientific Officer of RAPID Laboratories in Rockville, Maryland which is developing a drug treatment and vaccine against HIV, the virus which causes AIDS.
