About Leonard Laskow

There is only one appearing as many revealing itself as Love.
​- Leonard Laskow
​

Leonard Laskow is a Stanford trained physician, who has studied the healing power of love for the past 40 years. He coined the term Holoenergetic Healing, by which he means healing with the energy of the “whole.” Dr. Laskow found that it takes energy to maintain the appearance of separation and that as we bring ourselves into wholeness, the energy of separation is liberated. This energy can then be consciously directed to facilitate our body’s healing response.
Today Dr. Laskow is a consultant in Behavioral and Energy Medicine.

Author and ​Researcher

The principles of Holoenergetic® Healing are presented in Dr. Laskow’s breakthrough book, Healing with Love. Highly recommended by Deepak Chopra, Larry Dossey, and Dolores Krieger, this book uses ancient and cutting-edge healing techniques, self awareness, energy work, and practical exercises to help one directly experience love as a healing force. In it Dr. Laskow describes his laboratory research, which documents the effectiveness of heart-focused Holoenergetic techniques in significantly inhibiting the growth of tumor cells in tissue culture and bacterial growth in test tubes. In subsequent research, Dr. Laskow has shown that the molecular configuration and properties of water and the physical structure of DNA can be changed by conscious intention, imagery and love. (The book was originally published by Harper Collins and was translated and published  in nine languages.)
In 2016 Dr. Laskow published his second book For Giving Love.
