Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
A leading researcher of consciousness-based healing provides an invaluable resource of scientific data and self-healing practices.
Spontaneous remission, the placebo effect, and energy healing--these phenomena have baffled the medical community for decades. What do all these marvels tell us? That our body is much more than a machine to be fixed by drugs and surgery. "We've been disempowered to think that we have no control over our own healing," says Dr. Shamini Jain, "and yet science suggests that it's the complete opposite. We have more healing power than we could ever imagine."
With Healing Ourselves, Dr. Jain presents a new vision of health care that is both evidence-based and personally empowering, featuring:
- Biofield science--exploring evidence for the missing link between consciousness and healing
- Why most people (even doctors) don't know about the astonishing findings that support energy-based healing practices
- The future of medicine--how the next scientific evolution will unfold
- Beginning your own health revolution--guidance for harnessing the placebo effect, holistic self-care, evidence-based spiritual practices, and much more
"We don't have to be perfect meditators or yogis to foster our own healing," teaches Dr. Jain. Written with engaging prose and lucid explanations of scientific principles, Healing Ourselves illuminates a path of healing that is joyful, accessible, and opens the door to a lifetime of discovery.
Synopsis
A leading mind-body researcher provides an invaluable resource of solid scientific evidence for consciousness-based healing--along with practices anyone can use.
Spontaneous remission, the placebo effect, and energy healing--these phenomena have baffled the medical community for decades. What do all these marvels tell us? "Our current models of medicine fall short of understanding the depths of our human healing potential," says Dr. Shamini Jain. "We are on the cusp of finally becoming awake to our human healing potential. A growing number of scientists are exploring a new path--a true expansion of science joined with understandings from ancient concepts of spirituality."
With Healing Ourselves, Dr. Jain presents a new vision of health and healing. Here she rejects the "either-or" thinking that has placed conventional medicine at odds with so-called alternative methods--offering an integrated path based on sound scientific evidence and personal empowerment. Join her to explore:
- Biofield science--peer-reviewed research on the inseparable relationship between consciousness and healing
- The placebo and beyond--what placebo research tells us about the power of consciousness to heal ourselves, whether we choose drugs, surgery, or holistic medicine
- Evidence--what strong, published research actually says about the healing power of holistic practices such as yoga, tai chi, meditation, and energy healing
- The Healing Keys--in-depth instruction with evidence-based recommendations and ancient spiritual practices that you can integrate into your life for healing yourself
Today more than ever, we realize that we must change the way we think about health care--and our ability to heal ourselves. "The good news is there is a way forward," teaches Dr. Jain. "The flame that lights the path burns brighter than the darkness of ignorance and suffering we have found ourselves in." With Healing Ourselves, this inspiring teacher shares a holistic model of health that we have known in our hearts, all along, to be true.
