Intentionality: The Matrix of Healing

This ground breaking new work makes a quantum leap
in the exploration of two pivotal concepts in
current healthcare: Intentionality and Healing.
Intentionality is the heart and soul of healing, but
what is it? Meticulously researched and fluently
written, Dr. Zahourek''s work goes beyond
previous writers and researchers in elucidating
these concepts through the voices and actions of
both healers and healees. Her thorough thoughtful
analysis has enabled her to describe the
evolutionary and transforming nature of
intentionality and the essence of healing. Taking
her findings one step further, she develops a
theory, Intentionality, the Matrix of Healing. This
theory describes the origins, and dimensions of
Intentionality. Talents and experiences influence
development and the expression of intentionality and
healing. Concepts of consciousness, paradox and
synchronicity are interwoven. This new theory paves
the way for application in clinical situations,
widening the breadth of education in the healing
professions and lighting the way for further
research. This book is of great value to
healing professionals engaged in any of those arenas.
