I picked up this book recently at the bookstore. I must say that this is the best book written on using visualizations to heal yourself and can be used to heal others. The text is well written with drawings to make everything clear. The author gives exercises one can use to rid oneself of disease and maintain health. There are testimonials and documented cases of using visualization to cure illness and maintain health. I highly recommend this book.

I am so glad to have found this book. I have used it many times for myself and others. Simple to read, easy to understand and yet comprehensive. Many of the imagery exercises are indexed much like a cookbook, so it is easy to look up what you need quickly. The book is also a great guide for those who want to create original exercises.
I have read many books on imagery and find this one to be superior.

What I liked about this book is the very specific healing imagery given for many many different physical and mental ailments. The author also says that nothing is srt in stone, and if something comes from inside you to do, go with it. Reading so many ready made images gives the reader ideas and/or spcific exercises. I am so glad to have this book!

I was diagnosed with cancer in the late '80s and had the carcinoma in situ removed by lazer surgery, yet I still had pre-cancer cells to contend with and I chose to go the holistic way to continue aiding my body to heal. Years later I look back with such a sense of rightness. This book taught me how to visualize the battle that was taking place in my body and was an awesome way to take an active and proactive part in discovering myself. I highly recommend this book no matter what you are dealing with (physical, emotional, mental, etc.) Enjoy this journey of discovery you will be embarking on.

This book is wonderfully helpful for all those who believe in the power of the mind and positive thoughts creating positive results. It is a must for holistic practitioners and would be a helpful tool to all practitioners, medical as well as holistic.

Healing Visualizations has been on my psychotherapy office and home bookshelves for many years. It is understandable that this book, filled with mental imagery exercises for a variety of physical and emotional conditions and symptoms, has been published in numerous languages and countries as it speaks to the commonalities of the human health of all of us. For those interested in using their mind to heal themselves, this book is a practical guide that can't be beat.

Excellent book for healing. I have used the imagery in this book to heal myself and others for illness' from colds to stomache problems and heart issues. It is practical and offers an understanding about how relationships between one's illness and life issues can be used to help to heal oneself. Uplifting and practical!

My Aunt Em had a stroke recently, and I sent this book to her. She said it is helping her.

G. Epstein reveals a very interesting approach of alternative solutions for psychological or physical pains. The results for psychological pains are spectacular. I have never tried, yet, this method for physical pains. Great book.

I recently bought three books of this author and loved them all, to say the least. In Healing Visualizations, Dr. Epstein's oldest book still in print, I very much liked the concise and easy to understand introduction to visualisation. His explanation of the relationship between emotions, images and sensations was a true revelation to me: "An image is the mental form of a feeling. But there is also a physical form - sensation." You can't put it plainer and this realisation alone to me is worth the purchase. Also, the advice at the end of the book on how to develop my own imagery proved very valuable.
I found the image exercises clearly worded, easy to perform and convincing. Of course, I tried out only a few. So far I have experienced no physical healing but things look much "brighter and clearer". And thanks, Dr Epstein, for all the encouragement along the way!
