MIND-BODY MEDICINE
This book shows us all how to master this powerful energetic healing practice. While it is not a miracle cure, therapeutic touch has proven to be safe and helpful in the treatment of a variety of conditions including PMS, headaches, burns, cancer, and AIDS. The miracle, if there is one, is that we all can participate in the healing process and help our friends, partners and families feel better.
Ancient medical science told us our minds and bodies are one. Now modern science and new research are helping us to understand those connections. The author visits with physicians, scientists, therapists, and patients -- people who are taking a new look at the meaning of sickness and health. In a series of fascinating interviews with world experts and lay people alike the book explores the new mind/body medicine, and how it is being practiced in the treatment of stress, chronic disease, and neonatal care in several American hospitals; examines the chemical bases of emotions, and their potential for making us sick (and making us well); explores the fusion of traditional Chinese medicine with modern western practices in contemporary China; and takes an up-close, personal look at alternative healing therapies.
We all know the brain as the source of ideas, dreams, theorems, and works of art. But what do we know about its role as life-giver, life-saver? In this book, a celebrated neurologist and a physician specializing in preventive medicine take us on an intriguing, insightful exploration of the myriad healing tasks of the brain, from the regulation of body temperature-a fever can be good for you-to the positive effects of tears and crying. The authors show us the brain constantly interacting with our body, changing our body's responses to what we breathe, eat, and experience, and manifesting an orderly control. Combining the cutting edge of neurological research with holistic health concern, this book is smart, creative and above all, wonderfully healthy reading.
Every once in a while a non-fiction book comes along that is a work of art -- a tale so stunningly told, an idea so originally developed that it grips its readers and spreads like good news. This is such a book. Eight years ago, the author, then editor of New Age Journal, discovered that he had thyroid cancer. For the next seven years -- from the white corridors of the most high-tech hospitals to quiet retreats to Tibetan monasteries to the sweat lodges of Native American medicine men -- he pursued the life-giving lessons his life-threatening illness offered. On his way he did extensive interviews with 40 others who, like himself, used their illnesses to explore deeply their inner lives. Eventually, through the idiosyncrasies of individual stories, a pattern emerged -- the healing path-signposts and stations that others can follow. This book is for anyone who it ill, has a loved one who is ill, treats the ill, or simply wishes to live a healing life. It builds extraordinary new bridges between medicine, psychology, immunology, and spirituality.
A ground-breaking contribution to medicine and healing based on Hildegard's divinely inspired visions. These visions include information on how to heal and which plants and herbs to use in healing. Included are ways to heal nervous disorders, indigestion, heart problems, and cancer, along with suggestions for diet and fasting.
Recovery is the road back to the childhood we never had -- a chance to heal the child within. A lifelong process, recovery can be frightening. But, it also can be the most successful way to learn self-care and recapture the innocence and sheer delight in living that all children are born with the capacity to enjoy. The author has written an inspiring collection of healing messages that offer comfort and encouragement, serenity and hope, to anyone who has survived a painful childhood. Each message is illuminated by a vibrant, evocative painting by renowned artist Laurie Zagon, an expert in color therapy. Paired with the author‰s profound insights, these painting provide a moment for daily reflection, allowing the deeper truth of the words on the page to take root in the reader's consciousness.
The author offers a view of medicine that doesn't contradict tradition, but asks for consideration of the many factors involved in health. Using a matter of fact tone that is simple and unadorned, she tells about healing, her family, health, and personal beliefs in a collection of real-life parables that have healing power.
This follow-up to Love, Medicine & Miracles teaches patients how to use the knowledge that love heals and further explore the mind-body connection. It challenges the reader to recognize how the mind influences the body and to use this knowledge advantageously. The help that medicine can offer is not to be ignored or denied, but his book demonstrates how patients can play a critical role in their state of mind, states of health and state of being.
This book shines with the mystery, wonder, and hope of "miraculous" recoveries from cancer and other serious illnesses. The author brings together the most recent research on this topic from Western medicine and the Ayuervedic medical tradition.
The author goes beyond physical healing to show how we can change our reality by changing our mind. Dramatic case histories show how to fulfill desires, decrease stress, slow aging, and increase creativity and health. Vibrational Medicine -- New Choices for Healing Ourselves The most definitive book published on the subject of energetic medicine. An extensive exploration into the world of vibrational-healing modalities, including homeopathic remedies, flower essences, crystal healing, therapeutic touch, acupuncture, radionics, electrotherapy, herbal medicine, psychic healing, and therapeutic radiology.
We live at a time when people crave information about the human body. Many of us would like to heal ourselves of illness or prevent disease using methods that have fewer toxic side effects than many of today's modern pharmaceuticals. This fascinating book compares and contrasts conventional Western medicine with the points of view from other cultures: Chinese, Greek, homeopathic, and natureopathic. In this book readers will discover how each major organ and biological system of the body is viewed and diagnosed by these diverse schools of healing. Both lay readers and healthcare professionals will gain a much more sophisticated understanding of the body/mind through these practical healing options. |
