Deep Healing: The Essence of Mind/Body Medicine

by Emmett E. Miller

Emmett Miller, M.D., practicing as a traditional family doctor for 20 years, discovered that when a part of your body is sick, the whole body system is out of balance. He saw that how his patients thought about and saw life, affected and seemed to create whatever their current state of health was. He has stated that it is not enough to heal the particular illness without understanding the emotional and psychological basis for the ailment or problem. We must heal the entire person...not just a specific part. Dr. Miller has had great success with guided imagery to promote physical health and emotional well-being. He has even been successful using guided imagery to do minor surgery without any anesthetic, again proving the mind/body connection, and the control of our bodies by our thoughts. Through the presentation of stories, reflections, and case studies, Dr. Miller presents his wonderful, deep healing theories that will instill a new sense of hope and optimism into all who read this book.

This is a great textbook on handling stress and healing in general. I found it difficult to read at times, but the ideas are valuable in general and while I do not agree with everything, I found it a very good read.

I got a reference to this book in Bhava ram's book (another gem).

This book covers a lot of different aspects, which affect our health. Include a lot of case studies with stories. How our subconscious mind may be affecting our health. How to practice deep relaxation to achieve better health.

How to take of different aspects which are affecting our health, which involves self-affirmation and imagery guided deep relaxation.

I will be rereading this book to get more out of it. Will update the review.
