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! :)

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.
