Winston Meikle Publishes the Power of Love A New Nursing Theory Redefining Care Through Science and Consciousness
United States, 22nd Oct 2025 – A new nursing theory that blends rigorous science with compassionate practice has been released by author and theorist Winston Meikle. In his book, The Power of Love – A New Nursing Theory, Meikle introduces a model that positions love and conscious intention as quantifiable components of healthcare delivery.
The framework draws on peer-reviewed research across multiple scientific fields. Neuroplasticity, quantum coherence, and psychoneuroimmunology form the foundation of the model, each demonstrating that mental states and emotional quality are not abstract concepts but active drivers of biological processes. By aligning these insights with nursing practice, Meikle offers a structure that expands the scope of clinical care.
“Nursing has always combined science with empathy,” said Meikle. “The difference now is that we can demonstrate, with evidence, how love and intention produce measurable outcomes. This theory provides the model to integrate those insights into professional practice.”
The book outlines nine principles central to the theory. These include:
- Conscious Presence: Training attention to stabilize the mind-body interface.
- Heart-Brain Synchronization: Applying research showing that emotional coherence improves resilience and health.
- Collaborative Healing: Encouraging nurses to become partners in creating health, not only providers of treatment.
These principles are supported with references to studies in mindfulness, placebo response, and emotional regulation. Findings from organizations such as the HeartMath Institute illustrate that intentional emotional states improve cardiovascular and immune function.
Cultural respect is embedded in the framework. Meikle situates his theory within a global context by acknowledging practices such as Native American healing traditions, Hawaiian Mana, and Eastern contemplative systems. By doing so, he underscores that cultures worldwide have long recognized love and consciousness as integral to healing. His model brings these perspectives into dialogue with modern science to create an inclusive, evidence-informed approach.
Practical applications are highlighted throughout the text. Guided imagery, affirmation, and mindful care are presented not as alternative methods but as interventions validated by current research. Each is explained through a physiological lens, offering nurses tools that are both accessible and clinically relevant.
“The healthcare system is positioned for a paradigm shift,” Meikle noted. “We no longer have to choose between compassion and science. We have data showing that love, empathy, and focused care produce tangible results. It is time for nursing to embrace a model that unites these dimensions.”
The Power of Love – A New Nursing Theory is available now through major booksellers and at www.newnursingtheory.com.
