Inhaltsangabe

"Spirit in Health" explores ancient healing techniques as they migrate into our modern culture. Healers in ancient societies invoked spiritual force, asking spirits for help in the hunt, for wisdom, for healing in its many forms and for knowledge of plant and animal powers. Healers and shamans were also psychotherapists, using spirit-powers to treat physical and mental complaints. The Spirit is once again finding healing roles in our modern world. The placebo effect is ancient. So is visualization as a weapon against cancers. And many physical ills, heart attack and cancers among them, may involve psychological causes. Now, at a time when modern technology should guarantee an escape from all things primitive, some ancient ways are returning, offering alternative destinies. Ultimately, "Spirit in Health" finds us reaching with Animists' tools to heal the sick, and the biosphere of our planet as well.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Robert Fripp (1943-) was born in Portsmouth, U.K. Months later his mother was killed. Through the rest of the war he spent time in his grandparents' air raid shelter while his nanny, Kate Bryan, sang Welsh hymns to muffle the din of bombs and ack-ack. In 1952 he won a choral scholarship to Salisbury Cathedral School, and his family paid for his further education largely through earned scholarships. In 1965 he married an American, Carol Burtin. They live in Toronto. Fripp produced current affairs at CBC-TV, including a decade as the series producer of CBC's current affairs flagship, 'the fifth estate'. Medieval influences touch his writing; natural sciences, too, which he studied at the University of Bristol. Robert Fripp is the only writer in four centuries to have written a full length tragedy, Dark Sovereign, in English as it was available to Shakespeare and his contemporaries.
