Joan Borysenko (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1994

EXPLORE THE VERY HEART OF HEALING!

The world's foremost producer of personal developmental and motivational audio programs now gives you the tools to unlock the physical, emotional and spiritual healing within your mind.

The subject of #1 bestsellers by such authors as Bill Moyers and Deepak Chopra, the "mind/body connection" is among the most exciting areas in the field of health and healing. Now, Harvard-trained medical scientist, licensed psychologist and bestselling author Joan Borysenko reveals that healing is really the simplest of matters -- and can be accomplished with her practical, pragmatic approach.

According to Borysenko, the process of healing is one of self-realization -- a peeling away of the fears and negativity that obscure the light of our own true nature and our innate essence of compassion, creativity, wisdom and love. In this dynamic program, she leads you to discover that power, and:

* develop a spiritual framework that can transform your life and relationships
* gain greater inner peace through insight into the meaning of your experience
* understand the connections between mind and body
* heal your life with the powers of love and prayer
* teaches you a three part meditation on gratitude and lovingkindness

With The Power of the Mind to Heal, you will overcome your fear, and experience the inner peace of your own true nature -- in everything you do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you, God, for my Mind!, May 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Power of the Mind to Heal (Paperback)

As Joan Borysenko has said, "Thank you, God, for my mind, for it is through it that I know you!" Indeed, she is a powerful teacher of Truth, possessing what is a rare quality of balance of both heart and mind. Thinking with feeling! Joan Borysenko is right on in this book, because I used some of her techniques to heal myself! If you doubt me, how otherwise could I go in 6 months from being ready for heart surgery to being given a clean bill of health? How did I go from congestive heart disease to no sign of heart disease? Simple: I followed my doctors to a point, but I then went the extra mile with God, by looking to Spirit for healing, through prayer, meditation, visualization and affirmation. THE MIND DOES HAVE THE POWER TO HEAL! Thank you, Joan, for a wonderful book (which I loaned away and am re-buying today through Amazon) and a BIG "Thank you, God!" for this miracle in my life! The mind of God is perfect, the essence of God is perfect, and as an expression of God, I too experience perfection! How about a big "AMEN!" everybody! :)

the dvd offered some insightful/ practical information but it was a bit outdated for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars metaphysical mumbo-jumbo, December 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Power of the Mind to Heal (Audio Cassette)

I bought the Nightingale Connant edition of this title, thinking that I would get some scientific information about mind-body healing. Instead, it was full of New Age metaphysics about past lives, reincarnation, spirit guides, angels, out of body experiences, and the like. If I had known this in advance, I would not have spent the money.
