This book is the definitive guide for using your mind to heal your body. In it, Dr. Epstein , a leading pioneer in the field of mind-body medicine posits that we have the possibility ..."TO ATTAIN NOT ONLY A STATE OF HEALING, BUT EVENTUALLY TO BRING OURSELVES TO A STATE OF INCREDIBLE LONGEVITY. WE MIGHT EVEN REACH THE POINT OF DEFEATING DEATH ITSELF.”
In Healing into Immortality, Dr. Epstein outlines a proven program of self-healing based on over forty-five years of clinical practice and a lifetime of investigation into the role of the mind as the source of illness and health. He explains how physical symptoms are only the outward manifestation of illness whose source lies in a mind and spirit out of synch with the body. The seed source of illness lies in three persistent common mindsets: doubt – finding ourselves caught between two opposing voices and paralyzed to act; expectations – future goals and achievements we set for ourselves and others; and denial – avoiding acknowledging a reality or truth. He then shows how the reintegration of mind, body and spirit through the power of our will; our memory, which contains our mindfulness of our moral relationships; and our imagination in the form of mental imagery can prevent illness and heal virtually every kind of disease.
Utilizing the healing stories of the Bible, the 10 Commandments, and other western spiritual practices, Dr. Epstein has revived a tradition of healing more than five thousand years old. Complete with case histories, mental imagery (visualizations/guided imagery)
