How
can I get better life?
After I heal something, why am I not satisfied?
What is the point of spiritual practice?
Why do some people cruise effortlessly through their days
while others struggle?
A
groundswell in new ways to approach therapy, psychology,
spirituality, shamanism and mental health is happening
worldwide. Until now, most of the new breakthroughs have
been done in isolation. In this book, we share our work
with each other for the first time - and give you a glimpse
of the excitement and camaraderie of working in a field
that changes daily, with new discoveries, syntheses, and
controversy. This book gives laymen and professionals an
experience of what cutting-edge research in the fundamental
questions of mankind feels like.
This volume, the first of a series, presents what we
consider the best of this new generation of techniques for
acquiring peak states, along with a unifying model that
ties biology, psychology, therapy, and spirituality into a
single whole.

Peak States of Consciousness: Theory and Applications, Volume 2: Acquiring Extraordinary Spiritual and Shamanic States
by Dr. Grant McFetridge with Wes Gietz
(from
the back cover)
Breakthroughs in Understanding the Biology of
Consciousness
This textbook
covers fundamental discoveries about the biological basis
for spiritual and shamanic states, transpersonal
experiences, and consciousness itself. Derived from
explorations into the very earliest prenatal development,
this book describes how consciousness is based on biology
inside the cell:
~ Developmental
Events: Spiritual and
shamanic states are a legacy of our earliest prenatal
growth stages.
~ The Primary
Cell: Consciousness
extends from just one cell of the body.
~ Triune
Brains: The cell
organelles are the basis of the ‘subconscious’
triune brains.
~ Transpersonal
Biology: Spiritual,
shamanic, and psychic phenomena are based on access or
perception of biological structures inside the cell.
~ Inherent
Dangers: Triggering
certain prenatal traumas may cause serious or
life-threatening problems.
With this theoretical foundation, we can now understand
what traditional spiritual and shamanic practices do at a
biological level, as well as understand what makes
different healing therapies effective. More important are
the very practical applications – entirely new
techniques for spiritual growth and healing become
possible, through a synthesis of traditional concepts with
modern microbiology.
This textbook on the theory of peak states and the biology
of consciousness is used in our therapist training classes.
Although it is written for professionals, we’ve made
it available for laypeople that are interested in the
cutting edge of consciousness research and its applications
to psychology and medicine.

The Basic Whole-Hearted Healing™
Manual, 3rd Edition
by Grant McFetridge Ph.D. and Mary Pellicer, M.D.
This
is our training manual for the 4 day class we teach on
basic Whole-Hearted Healing, which is a regression healing
process that can be done from normal consciousness without
any special work or processing. This book is an updated and
expanded version of the material on the PeakStates.com
website. It is intended for people who are actively healing
others and wish to have more information, in one place,
about the material on our website.
(from
the back cover)
This book
contains the detailed, nuts-and-bolts content needed for
laypeople and professionals to fully master the
Whole-Hearted Healing regression therapy. This technique
for trauma healing is the main research tool of the
Institute for the Study of Peak States in our study of
unusual states of consciousness.
Whole-Hearted Healing is a simple, fast way to heal
emotional and some physical problems. It exploits the
insight that most of our present problems are due to long
forgotten past trauma. We show how to recall these
incidents and heal them so they are pain free, without
using any special abilities, help, or settings.
This book addresses conventional trauma as well as a large
variety of experiences that are outside of the cultural
norm - such as spiritual emergencies, unusual states of
consciousness, and other important problems that are
generally ignored by other therapies.
For professionals in the field of trauma healing, this
technique is particularly valuable and can be used in
conjunction with other 'power' and 'meridian' therapies.
The technique also gives easy access to pre- and perinatal
trauma.
We include two other important processes - Distant
Personality Release which is extremely useful for couples
therapy and interpersonal problems; and the Inner Peace
Process which puts people into a particular peak state of
consciousness where all past trauma stops feeling
emotionally painful.
This manual complements Peak States of Consciousness:
Theory and Applications, Volumes 1 to 3.

In language that is simple to understand, Jacquelyn and Ron Aldana reveal the secrets, shortcuts, tips, and techniques that enabled them to transform sickness into health, sorrow into joy, and worry into well-being. Many refer to this handy book as a Condensed Wisdom Resource Guide because it provides a quick synopsis of universal laws and principles that enable you to play the Game of Life and win more often.

Videos
Cost: $30US plus shipping ($6US to USA or Canada)
Note:
We no longer recommend that you purchase this DVD, if you
want to acquire the Inner Peace State. Instead, we
recommend that you visit a certified PeakState
therapist.
This DVD was filmed as a visual aid for the Inner Peace
Process described in Peak States
of Consciousness, Volume 1, first
edition. Since 2004, We've drastically improved improved
this peak state process. If you are interested in acquiring
the Inner Peace state, you should contact an ISPS
Certified
PeakState therapist and set up
an appointment. These therapists adhere to a 'pay for
results' policy - they only charge if you acquire the
state.
Description:
This is a two
hour DVD of a workshop on the Inner Peace Process. The
first 35 minutes is about this particular state of
consciousness, the Inner Peace state, and the rest is
filming of workshop participants actually doing the
process. This video is designed for you to follow along
with the people in the workshop doing the process. This
state gives one the feeling of inner peace, even during
difficult experiences and emotions. In addition, past
emotional pain from trauma can no longer be felt, because
the person is now firmly in the present moment. The Inner
Peace Process steps are also in Peak States
of Consciousness, Volume 1 - the
video gives a visual, rather than written version.
This process is designed to give you this state relatively
permanently, and so repetition of the process is not
required, unlike most other processes available. However,
this simplified process only works on about 50% of the
general population, so there is no guarantee that it will
work for you. This means that statistically, if you do it
with 4 friends, it will probably work on two of you. There
is no guarantee, however.
How to order: Mail a money order or check that can be
cashed in Canada (i.e. Postal Money Order, Western Union,
American Express - please verify with your provider).
Expect a delay of about 4 weeks. Please phone ahead of time
to let us know that you are ordering, at 250-413-3211. Only

We have audio CD's of lectures we've given at conferences:
• An hour and a half audio tape from the 2000 Las
Vegas Energy Psychology Conference - It covered a
description of peak states, the underlying dynamics of the

demonstration of the WHH technique.
• An hour and a half audio tape from the 1999 Las
