A bold account of the development of human consciousness and spirituality over the ages and an examination of the dynamic global transformation of attitudes about healing. For more than fifteen years, Caroline Myss has studied why some people heal, while others do not. In her previous book, Anatomy of the Spirit, Dr. Myss illuminated the hidden interactions of belief and body, soul and cell to show how, as she inimitably puts it, "your biography becomes your biology." In Why People Don't Heal and How They Can, she builds on her earlier teachings of the seven different energy centers of the body to provide a vital self-healing program for physical and spiritual disorders. With her characteristic no-nonsense style and high-voltage storytelling, she exposes and explodes the five myths about healing, explains the cultural and individual contexts in which people become physically and spiritually ill and invested in "woundology," and teaches new methods of working with the challenges that the seven energy centers embody. To help you get and stay on the path to wellness, Dr. Myss provides rituals and prayers for gaining a symbolic perspective on your life issues; for bolstering your personal power; and for connecting with a universal divine energy. Dr. Myss's breakthrough views on energy medicine and her active approach to healing life issues and physical illness will help you overcome the mental blocks that keep you from becoming well.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1988, I went to the Findhorn Community in Scotland to teach a healing workshop. During lunch, I met Mary, a member of the community, who was there to attend an incest support group. She said she would never miss her incest support group meeting on June eighth. #2 When we define ourselves by our wounds, we burden and lose our physical and spiritual energy. We open ourselves to the risk of illness. #3 I began to see that the language of woundology was spoken outside Findhorn. People were confusing the therapeutic value of self-expression with permission to manipulate others with their wounds. #4 I began my work as a medical intuitive in 1983 when I became able to sense illness in others. The countless manuscripts I received about personal healing stories revealed the depth of fear people feel when facing a terminal illness, but many of the stories also revealed the power of the human spirit to catalyze a healing process.

Covers the "fundamentals of human energy anatomy, the links between personal power and illness, wound symbols, the four steps to healing, and much more."

New York Times best-selling author Caroline Myss draws from her years as a medical intuitive to show that healing is not only physical; it is also a mystical phenomenon that transcends reason. Inspired by ordinary people who overcame a wide array of physical and psychological ailments - from rheumatoid arthritis to cancer - Caroline dove into the works of the great mystics to gain a deeper understanding of healing's spiritual underpinnings. Based on these studies, she demonstrates how conventional and holistic medicine often fall short in times of need. Both systems rely upon a logical approach to curing illness when there is nothing reasonable about the emotional, psychological, or spiritual influences behind any ailment. Integral to this mystical healing approach is the engagement of the soul, which we experience through exploring our seven shadow passions, building an empowered inner self around our seven inherent graces, and learning how to work with the mystical laws that govern it. This knowledge holds the key to understanding what it means to defy gravity and break through the boundaries of ordinary thought. You can heal any illness. You can channel grace. And you can learn to live fearlessly.
