Do we really know what's good for us? "Yes!" the author of this book would yell, and in about as profound and important a way as could possibly be imagined. This is one of a series of books and programs that Marcia Emery has written on the subject of intuitive healing. Her basic premise is that each of us has an inner guide--an "inner physician"--whom we need to learn to access and listen to. Why? Because, says Emery, this inner guide (essentially, our own intuitive mind) can help us maintain health, predict and avert health problems, suggest remedies in times of illness, and steer us towards a healthier way of functioning that will offer long-term prevention.
Emery describes intuition as "that unerring and inexplicable knowing beyond logic and volition. It lies at the roots of spontaneity, humor, creativity, inspiration, and even genius. And it is an especially powerful ally in the healing process." It is how scientists make groundbreaking discoveries, and how native peoples discover healing plants in the wild.
Emery's book is a practical how-to manual that each of us can deploy "to access the wisdom of your mind for greater healing and well-being." She offers tips, techniques, and exercises, such as meditation, affirmations, dreamwork, relaxation, body scans, and word association, together with heartening anecdotes and case studies. The benefits claimed for this approach--from testing medical diagnoses to averting illness--are profound indeed, and this book makes for a user-friendly, thought-provoking guide. --Dan Fielder

From Publishers Weekly
This author's previous work (Dr. Marcia Emery's Intuition Workbook) has focused largely on introducing the use of intuition in career and business matters. Now psychologist Emery turns her attention to personal health, again employing her eight-step "Mindshift Method" of defining the problem or question, releasing mental blockages, releasing physical tension, eliciting symbolic imagery, interpreting these symbols for the particular individual, resting, revisiting the imagery and its possible meanings and, finally, applying the information received for healing. Emery claims that everyone has an "inner physician," communicating through dreams, "lightning flash[es] of knowing" and subtle perceptions of all five senses, offering messages to warn about, diagnose and suggest remedies for all kinds of ailments. Based on the premise that "every symptom is a cry for help, signaling something amiss on the mental, emotional, and/or spiritual level," Emery stresses the importance of finding the hidden lesson, seeing the big picture and accepting that "not everything and everyone can or should be healed" in the wished-for manner. Emery provides readers with numerous exercises to practice in this instructive guide to engaging the mind in order to heal the body.
