Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself

Product Information

Rankin has deepened her exploration of the world’s healing tradition and her understanding of the healing power we hold within ourselves—if only we can tap into it.

You’ll learn how to listen to your body’s “whispers” before they turn to life-threatening “screams” that can be prevented with proper self-care, and you’ll learn how to trust your inner guidance when making decisions about your health and your life.

pero más que eso, nos presenta al final, una serie de reflexiones, anécdotas y propuestas de cómo mejorar nuestra salud con ese cambio de hábitos y actitudes. Being in control of my own health is one of my most important needs, since I haven't seen a doctor in almost 2 decades! Mind Over Medicine explains how what's going on in your mind translates into sickness or health, and what to do to heal yourself.

This might sound like woo woo metaphysical weirdness, but Rankin proves it repeatedly that it's not, just like the title says. Fueled by a passion to determine what really makes people healthy and what really predisposes them to illness, she immersed herself in medical literature to study how doctors might better care for patients. Ever since I began my spiritual journey, I have been instinctively aware of the links between the mind and the body and my reading has hinted at this link. Being truly healthy and well requires more than regular exercise, adequate sleep, and good nutrition. If you have read other books on this topic it is not new information, but it is offered in a personable, precise, easily digestible, and inspiring format.This was a really interesting book, which brought up a number of concepts and ideas regarding the body, healing, and stress that I hadn't thought about on a deep level before but that really rung true for me. I chose to read this book because I listened to Lissa speak at the I Can Do It Conference, and was awestruck at the stories of spontaneous remission that she shared with the audience. It's a handy little field guide, especially because of the wealth of specific resources Rankin offers throughout. Após este período, o valor da mensalidade será cobrado automaticamente, por meio do método de pagamento cadastrado. Rankin shows study after study about how optimistic people have been chances of surviving disease, how if you believe you'll get healthier (or if you believe the opposite), you're more likely to actually get healthier (or again, sicker if that's what you believe), the characteristics of people who had spontaneous cancer remissions, how stress affects the body, why Western docs are so screwed up (and how she was one of them for a long while before she just threw up her hands and got out of the game)--there's a ton of great stuff.
