by Lissa Rankin (Author)
New York Times bestseller and beloved guide, revised and updated
with up-to-the minute scientific and spiritual insight, teaches readers

lives--relational, psychological, creative, environmental,
professional--to understand what they need for health.
"What a
pleasure it is to see the next generation of physicians waking up to
what I call real medicine--the kind that acknowledges our true power to
heal and be well."
- Christiane Northrup, M.D., OB/GYN physician and
author of the New York Times bestsellers: Women's Bodies, Women's
Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause
When Mind Over Medicine was
first published, it broke new ground in the fertile region where
science and spirituality intersect. Through the process of restoring her
own health, Dr. Lissa Rankin discovered that the conventional health
care she had been taught to practice was missing something crucial: a
recognition of the body's innate ability to self-repair and an
appreciation for how we can control these self-healing mechanisms with
the power of our own consciousness.
To better understand this
phenomenon, she explored peer-reviewed medical literature and found
evidence that the medical establishment had been proving that the body
can heal itself for over 50 years. She shared her findings and laid out a
practical plan for readers to heal themselves in this profoundly wise
book--a New York Times bestseller and now a classic guide for people who
are on a healing journey from illness, injury, or trauma.
In
the years since then, Dr. Rankin has deepened her exploration of the
world's healing tradition and her understanding of the healing power we
hold within ourselves--if only we can tap into it. This revised edition
of Mind Over Medicine reflects her latest research, evolving wisdom, and
work with clients and students in her healing community, as well as
with doctors and other healers in her Whole Health Medicine Institute.
Inside, readers will discover:
• A thorough update of Dr. Rankin's signature Six Steps to Healing Yourself
• New
insight into how unresolved trauma can stand in the way of healing from
chronic and life-threatening illnesses-and powerful tools we can use to
heal it
• How to tune in to our Inner Pilot Light for intuitive guidance in our healing
And much more
"The healing that is possible may be right here," Dr. Rankin writes,
"closer than close, underneath all your efforting and striving,
available if you are ready to humble yourself before this possibility
and receive what awaits you."
