Illnesses have meaning in the same way that dreams have meaning. They are messages from our psyche -- our inner self -- which can be interpreted and understood. Bob Trowbridge, a former Presbyterian minister and a well-known lecturer and counselor, examines how illness represents only a symbol of our real problem: the imbalance in our thinking, attitudes, and feelings. This helpful book explains how illness begins, how we use illness, how we can understand it, how we can heal it, and, as a consequence, heal our spiritual selves.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Our illnesses, from colds and allergies to life-threatening diseases, are meaningful, and they occur within the context of a life that is meaningful. That is the premise of this book. Like symbols in our dreams, our illnesses are messages from the psyche -- the inner self. In this book you will learn how to understand the meaning of illness and how to take positive steps toward eradicating its root cause. You will learn to read early warning signs that can help prevent illnesses and learn to recognize when certain actions or life changes are required to prevent the eruption or continuation of disease. Most importantly, this book offers aids to your spiritual growth -- finding and staying on your personal spiritual path, confronting and overcoming the obstacles you find, and eliminating the different forms that fear takes. In working with these spiritual aids, you also can aid in physical healing.

The Hidden Meaning of Illness,
By Selena Bina "Brooke Moviestarr" (Tempe, AZ) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Hidden Meaning of Illness: Disease As a Symbol and Metaphor (Paperback)
The book had arrived on time. It looked as if it were brand new, and not used. I was very pleased with my purchase in every way possible.
