Full description for Deep Medicine

  • The importance of the mind-body connection has been well established and is accepted by many mainstream physicians. Approximately 25 percent of people who seek alternative medicine treatment do so because it was recommended by a medical professional. Written by respected surgeon and holistic health pioneer William Stewart, "Deep Medicine" shows readers how to tap into the mind's power to heal the body by building two essential skills: self-inquiry and finding quiet within. Self-inquiry is the process of coming to know oneself. The self-inquiry techniques that are presented enable readers to examine various aspects of their lives. By finding answers, readers can concretely identify their deepest purposes in life and align their actions with their true feelings about their place in the world. Quieting the inner world is necessary to reach a deep, contemplative state and access the deep wisdom we all have within. A variety of different methods will be offered to achieve this, including breathing techniques and guidance from Buddhist, Jewish, American Indian, and other spiritual traditions.
