Pages : 310

Book Description
‘This book will teach you that healing by thought alone is not only possible, but it is a reality.’ - Dr Joe Dispenza, New York Times bestselling author of Becoming Supernatural There is no longer any doubt that the way we think affects our bodies: countless scientific studies have shown this to be true. For former pharmaceutical scientist Dr David Hamilton, the testing of new drugs highlighted how profoundly the mind and body are connected. Time and time again, the control group of patients in drug trials improved at similar rates to those who actually received the medicines. Astounded, Dr Hamilton decided to change the direction of his work to explore the relationship between the mind and the body. This bestselling acclaimed book was first published 10 years ago. In it, Dr Hamilton explores the effect of visualization, belief and positive thinking on the body, and shows how using our imagination and mental processes can stimulate our own defences and healing systems to combat disease, pain and illness. In this new edition, Dr Hamilton has added four new chapters to discuss the latest cutting-edge information and extraordinary new techniques. These include using imagery to stimulate the immune system - a method that can benefit cancer patients undergoing conventional treatment - effectively using the mind to speed up rehabilitation from stroke, and powerful visualization strategies to help facilitate recovery from injury and illness.

Imagery in Healing

Author: Jeanne Achterberg
Publisher: Shambhala Publications
ISBN: 0834826291
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 360

Book Description
This influential book shows how the systematic use of mental imagery can have a positive influence on the course of disease and can help patients to cope with pain. In Imagery in Healing, Jeanne Achterberg brings together modern scientific research and the practices of the earliest healers to support her claim that imagery is the world's oldest and most powerful healing resource. The book has become a classic in the field of alternative medicine and continues to be read by new generations of health care professionals and lay people. In Imagery in Healing, Achterberg explores in detail the role of the imagination in the healing process. She begins with an exploration of the tradition of shamanism, "the medicine of the imagination," surveying this time-honored way of touching the nexus of the mind, body, and soul. She then traces the history of the use of imagery within Western medicine, including a look at contemporary examples of how health care professionals have drawn on the power of the imagination through such methods as hypnosis, biofeedback, and the placebo effect. Ultimately, Achterberg looks to the science of immunology to uncover the most effective ground for visualization, and she presents data demonstrating how imagery can have a direct and profound impact on the workings of the immune system. Drawing on art, science, history, anthropology, and medicine, Imagery in Healing offers a highly readable overview of the profound and complex relationship between the imagination and the body.

Ethereal Meditation focuses on spiritual transformation. It is a form of conscious meditation that combines powerful visualizations and affirmations to help harness the flow of personal and environmental energy in our lives. By taking control of the energy that we personally create, as well as the energy around us that is created by others, we are able to open doors to life-changing focus, self-awareness, enlightenment, and healing within the mind, body, and spirit. Working with the Omega Pyramid, readers will learn to harness the true power within them to clear the "spiritual clutter" and connect with the Ethereal Realm to achieve spiritual clarity. This requires letting go of old patterns that keep us from rising to our true potential and achieving the joyful life we all seek and deserve. Ethereal Meditation teaches readers to take control of any doubt, fear, or other negative energies and thought patterns that may be holding them back, and transform it into the faith and confidence needed to transform and achieve spiritual enlightenment and true self-awareness.
