Our book, this time, is by a meditation master and former NASA engineer, who presents a mental technique for alleviating all forms of physical and emotional pain. We describe and explore his method, its origins, and confront the question of how it could possibly work, if, as its author insists, it's a mental technique that involves neither imagination nor visualisation.
The book providing the basis for our discussion is: Robert Harry Hover (2004). Internal Moving Healing Manual of Instruction: Stopping Your Pain & Other Unpleasant Things.

A collection of fictional writings that break the traditional rules of storytelling leads us into a consideration of how writing might be used for magical purposes.
We consider in detail some intriguing and sometimes startling true cases, exploring a text that offers frank and practical guidance to psychotherapists on how they should respond when paranormal forms of communication occur within therapy.
The seeds of chaos magic, uncovered in the unlikely context of a 1975 children’s book on chance and probability. We take a nostalgic romp through some of the fascinations and shortcomings of a scientistic take on magic, which seems to have formed a significant current in the 70s zeitgeist.
An obscure and possibly much underrated poltergeist case, from 1938, is our springboard into issues concerning how a psychoanalytical approach to paranormal investigation radically recontextualises the notion of “faked” versus “genuine” psychical phenomena.
