The Intuitive Healer: Accessing Your Inner Physician [Anglais] [Broché]

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 --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.

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.

Dr. Emery presents this abridgment with sincerity and earnestness. Through anecdotes and exercises she provides a basic guide for connecting with one's inner physician, who will help prevent, diagnose, and treat "dis-ease." Emery is comfortable with her material and proceeds at an even pace. From time to time she falls into a choppy cadence but not for long. The exercises are presented briefly so that the listener who doesn't want to participate won't be bored with long pauses.

Just as a traditional physician uses a stethoscope to diagnose illness, you can use your "intuitive stethoscope," your inner physician, to detect emotional and physical imbalances that are often the cause of disease. As Dr. Marcia Emery shows throughout this book, our words, thoughts, and feelings are vibrantly alive and have an impact on our bodies. By learning to access and successfully interpret the language of your inner physician, you can be forewarned of a health emergency, validate of invalidate a diagnosis, and identity and eradicate thoughts, speech patterns, and actions that have a negative influence on your health. In fact, you can often avert or even reverse a state of illness and find resplendent vigor.

For decades noted psychologist and intuition expert Dr. Marcia Emery has been teaching men and women to cultivate their intuition using Mindshift Method, a technique for traveling from the logical mind to the intuitive realm. Once in this intuitive state, the mind becomes receptive to mental imagery and can interpret such images in highly effective ways. The intuitive mind is generally able to make the correct evaluation and decide about a course of action. It also provides bursts of creative inspiration and even glimpses into the future.

In The Intuitive Healer Dr. Emery helps you guide the power of your own intuition to matters of health and healing. She shows you how images, symbols, and messages issued forth from the intuitive mind serve as a kind of personalized medicine chest of healing salves. Through inspirational anecdotes and step-by-step exercises, Dr. Emery teaches you to call on your inner physician to prescribe that saving ounce of prevention or provide a timely remedy for what ails you. Techniques such as word association, meditation, body scans, mind mapping, relaxation, and dream analysis are just some of the practices you'll learn that allow you to talk to your trusted inner guide every day.

In addition to uncovering and taking control of health issues, you will see how your body is made up of dynamic energy systems that are affected by heredity, culture, belief systems, relationships, nutrition, and the interplay of all these factors. By understanding how your mind, spirit, and emotions have an impact on your physical body, you are better equipped to eliminate stumbling blocks to robust health.

Written with great sensitivity plus all of the expert knowledge of a leader in the field of applied intuition, The Intuitive Healer is an essential guide on the path to alternative healing and optimum well-being. --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.
