There is a great deal of evidence available today that supports the fact that the mind is a very powerful muscle. It has been talked about and experienced by hundreds of people that when you put your mind to it you are able to accomplish incredible things, this includes healing. Dr. Joan Borysenko has written a compelling book entitled "The Power of the Mind to Heal," in which she states that one of the simplest matters we have to handle is healing.
Dr. Joan Borysenko states that we heal by becoming our true whole selves. That really the process of healing is nothing more than a process of self discovery and self realization. While it seems so simply stated, it can be a very difficult path for many people. In order to discover who you really are it will require you to peel away the fears that you have holding you back and clearing out the negative thoughts and concepts that are holding you back from being who you really are meant to be. It is these obstacles that prevent you from experiencing your inner love, compassion, wisdom and creativity.
Most people are conditioned from birth to believe certain things about themselves. These conditioned thoughts are implanted by parents, family members and friends. They are then often reinforced by society. They become so strong that it feels nearly impossible to shake them. They are so strong because you believe these preconceived notions about yourself. Think back to when you were younger, were you told that you could be anything you wanted to be... or that you were never going to amount to anything?
According to The Power of the Mind to Heal and Dr. Joan Borysenko life is constantly challenging you to transcend those fears, those negative concepts about yourself so that you can find your essence. Believe it or not having a failed relationship or shattered faith or even a death is nothing more than an invite for you to find your inner "wellspring of strength and understanding." You will discover that as you grow and transcend you cause things around you to grow... that healing is really more a duty to the world around you a service to making this world a better place to live.
Dr. Joan Borysenko uses a combination of modern psychology and incredible spiritual traditions from around the world to guide you on this journey of self discovery. Through guided meditations and thought provoking exercises you will begin your journey of emotional healing making it a daily spiritual practice. With the Power of the Mind to Heal you will be able to achieve greater inner peace because you will be able to stand back and look at your experiences and see how they have impacted your life, and why they impacted your life in the manner that they did.
