Deep Healing: The Essence of Mind Body Medicine [Paperback]

Emmett Miller (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1997

Coming at the height of America's continuing health-care crisis, "Deep Healing" brings new hope to every reader. It awakens even the most skeptical among us to the miraculous inborn, self-healing capacities of our mind-body. Dr Miller's message empowers and inspires us. He reveals secrets of self-healing that have now been well established by medical science the world over, yet which are rarely made public. Even more gratifying, he presents information and skills that can put the magic of healing back into the hands of patients, caring physicians and other health professionals. He does this by describing eye-opening research, fascinating healing stories, advanced new skills in affirmative mental imagery, the transformation of disease-orientated perceptions, the writing of positive life scripts, and much more.

About the Author

Although best known for his seminal work as a co-creator of the field of holistic health and Mind-Body Medicine, Dr Miller is also a musician, physician and scientist, has earned degrees in Medicine (Albert Einstein College of Medicine) and Mathematics (Trinity College), and has been elected to Sigma Pi Sigma, National Physics Honor Society. His chief discoveries were that thoughts, emotions and mental images have profound effects on health and performance. Computer literate since the 1960s, he realised that the human biocomputer, the mind, thinks and feels the way it was programmed, and that the use of self-induced altered states (similar to meditation and hypnosis) could be used to gain access to the 'source code'. Applying his clinical skills, wisdom and logic, he invented the first meditation tapes, called Software for the Mind. They introduced the world to deep relaxation and guided imagery, and have remained the choice of conventional as well as complementary and alternative health professionals for more than 35 years. Often described as a 'contemporary shaman', he is a trainer, coach, speaker and tireless worker in the service of planetary transformation through his Leadership Institute for Global Healing and Transformation (LIGHT). His book, Deep Healing; The Essence of Mind-Body Medicine, presents the results of his careful, patient-centered research into the process of healing and transformation, as it applies to health, happiness and peak performance. He maintains a practice in Los Altos, limited to Mind-Body Medicine and Peak Performance Coaching for individuals, leaders, and organizations. His current mission and vision include the development of a web-based global healing centre dedicated to catalyzing positive change and wisdom through the electronic distribution of digitized audio and visual media.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book to be experienced,not merely read, October 21, 1997

This review is from: Deep Healing: The Essence of Mind Body Medicine (Paperback)

This book will be an eye opener for those who put all their faith in drugs and underestimate the power of the mind and heart to heal. Dr. Miller discusses effective techniques (relaxation, guided imagery, etc.) for tapping our inner resources to bring about psychological as well as physical changes that support healing. He also explains clearly in layman's terms, the rationale behind his methods. The stories that led to the development of mind-body medicine are told with warmth and humor. This is the kind of book to read over and over again--with each reading, new insights come to mind. It has changed my approach to health and to life by giving me a sense of empowerment, by teaching me to use my mind in new and positive ways. It will probably do the same for anyone who reads it.

I purchased this book after I received the CD on recovering after surgery from a friend. The CD helped me recover from Open Heart Surgery so quickly I wanted to understand the principles beneath the wonderful CD. This book explains how deep healing actually works. It explains how the mind, body, spirit and emotional connections can help us heal ourselves. It is filled with case studies and meditation techniques that a lay person can understand and use. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.
