When Conscious Healing: Book One on the Regenetics Method first appeared in 2005, my expectations (to the extent I had any) for this unprecedented blending of new science and "new age" spirituality were modest at best. I knew of no book quite like Conscious Healing then, and the same still applies today, so I literally had nothing to go on. And of course, self-publishing, while it can be rewarding, is a step into the unknown, with no support net to catch you if you fall.

So I was greatly surprised when Conscious Healing began putting up very respectable sales numbers indeed, consistently appearing on various bestseller lists at online venues such as Amazon.com, which it continues to do to this day.

I also was tremendously gratified by the enthusiastic editorial reviews Conscious Healing received, to say nothing of reader reviews that often spoke of a book that, by itself, was an "activation of consciousness," profoundly reminding readers of truths about human potential and conscious evolution they already knew but had forgotten, in whole or in part.

Nothing was so inspiring and humbling, however, as seeing so many readers go on to experience personal transformation through the Regenetics Method. While I affirmed from the beginning that Conscious Healing is a valuable book for its informational content alone, it hardly can be overemphasized that the life-changing effects of Regenetics cannot be described fully in words or grasped on a purely intellectual level.

Having been involved in an editorial capacity with the Spanish translation of Conscious Healing, during which I noted some areas of the text I felt could use clarification and/or expansion, I already was considering creating a second English edition--when I was contacted by a European company wanting to release Conscious Healing in German. When our negotiations ended in a publishing contract, I took this as a sign, and immediately set about to update the entire book.

That is the text you have now. To those already familiar with the first edition of Conscious Healing, I propose that if you liked that version, you will love this one. I wish both my loyal and first-time readers to know that a lot of renewed energy has gone into describing and substantiating the Regenetics Method, as well as the evolutionary context that has fostered it, as clearly and accurately as possible.

I have added nearly twenty percent more text to the second edition, much of which incorporates leading-edge scientific and philosophical content. Realizing that readers might benefit from a more detailed explanation of the sequence of Regenetics activations, I also have included a description of the fourth and final phase of the Method, Transcension Bioenergy Crystallization, as well as a brand-new chart showing, at a glance, the progression of the Regenetics Method Timeline.

Readers interested in 2012, the Mayan calendar, ascension and related topics have not been overlooked. In particular, Chapter Nine, "The Shift in Human Consciousness," has been positively packed with new evidence supporting this book's thesis that humanity--individually as well as collectively--is poised on the brink of a thoroughgoing metamorphosis into a far more enlightened way of being.

Needless to say, in my process of revision I have expanded the book's already considerable references, which show up both in the main text and the Bibliography. This has had a measurable impact on the Index, which has grown proportionally. I also saw the need to add several new terms to the Glossary, and to refine the definitions of some preexisting terms to reflect my own evolving understanding of this uniquely empowering form of energy healing.

Finally, all three of the book's Appendices have been updated. Because they are both informative and inspiring, in Appendix A I share nearly twice as many Testimonials from clients. In Appendix B I have added a number of Frequently Asked Questions and clarifications. And as for Appendix C, it is my sincere intention that readers will find the sample Electromagnetic Schematic more comprehensible on all levels.

In November of 2007, I wrote as editor in the introduction to a special issue of my popular free ezine DNA Monthly,

Repeatedly, I've felt my finger to be on the pulse of a global zeitgeist of transformation operating in and through the genetic level of consciousness […] A consistent theme of feedback has been that a more expanded view of science and healing is not only welcome at this time; it is critically needed as we evolve out of a monolithic version of reality into the higher-paradigm understanding that there is no such thing as science--there are ultimately only sciences, any of which can have their strengths and weaknesses based on the strengths and weaknesses of those of who, consciously or not, create them. Now more than ever, it is incumbent upon us as a species to create our science(s) of reality consciously.

In making this expanded and updated second edition of Conscious Healing available even as my novels on the power of the imagination gain greater recognition, I realize the extent to which my life's work has been to articulate both a science and an art of reality as consciously as possible. May Conscious Healing be a catalyst for you, as it has been for so many, in your inner and outer transformation.
