This follow-up to Love, Medicine and Miracles teaches patients how to use the knowledge that love heals and further explore the mind-body connection. Dr Siegel challenges all readers - whether they are ill or well - to recognize how the mind influences the body and use this knowledge to their advantage. He shows how to be receptive to the messages that the mind gives the body and teaches how to talk to the inner self and give healing messages through specific techniques. The help that medicine can offer is not to be ignored or denied, but this book demonstrates how patients can play a critical role in their state of mind, state of health and state of being.
