Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mind/body healing stories are a different kind of healing story. Most healing stories for children are written to help them through hard times and to gain concepts that help them cope with their lives through empathy with story characters. Mind/Body healing stories provide concepts and skills to teach children to directly interact with their own immune systems in a way that accelerates or improves healing outcomes, also using empathy for story characters. Healing and curing are different. You may cure a bacterial caused disease using antibiotics, but a broken bone must be healed. Healing is an ongoing process that may last a lifetime and bring healing far beyond the scope of the original intent. Curing is an action caused by outside resources, such as a doctor prescribing antibiotics. Healing relies on your own innate resources as well as outside resources. Your mind/body provides guidance for action that may be used over and over again for many kinds of healing throughout a lifetime. Mind/body healing stories provide a way for children to be actively involved in their own medical treatment or other healing activity. The more a person feels involved the more empowered they feel and the better the outcome. Feeling involved relieves some of the fear, and stress, that is natural when a person interacts with medical, or other healing, professionals. Stress inhibits natural healing function, empowerment increase it. Stories and rhyme are appropriate for children as young as 9-months-old. Each time a child listens to these stories fantasy and rhyme help her discover her own innate healing tools that will be useful through her entire life. These techniques can help in healing any disease or injury regardless of origin or type. These stories are helpful for healing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual challenges. In the late 1950's a small boy lay in a New England hospital bed while his family and medical team waited for him to die. An orange size tumor squeezed against his brain crowding his tiny skull. The tumor was inoperable. Conventional medicine offered no help at the time. Left alone late at night he played a game. He imagined white space ships flying in his head. They circled the tumor blasting away at it with beams of white light. As the tumor disappeared in his game it disappeared in his skull. The use of mind/body healing has grown since then to be utilized, in some form, in the treatment of virtually every known aliment. The NIH has established a branch dedicated to research in the field of mind/body medicine. While mind/body healing are relatively new in this country it has been used by other cultures for thousands of years. The Taoist Priests of China have compiled over 1200 volumes on the use of mind body healing in the last 2000 years

Download or read book How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body written by David R. Hamilton, PHD and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘This book will teach you that healing by thought alone is not only possible, but it is a reality.’ - Dr Joe Dispenza, New York Times bestselling author of Becoming Supernatural There is no longer any doubt that the way we think affects our bodies: countless scientific studies have shown this to be true. For former pharmaceutical scientist Dr David Hamilton, the testing of new drugs highlighted how profoundly the mind and body are connected. Time and time again, the control group of patients in drug trials improved at similar rates to those who actually received the medicines. Astounded, Dr Hamilton decided to change the direction of his work to explore the relationship between the mind and the body. This bestselling acclaimed book was first published 10 years ago. In it, Dr Hamilton explores the effect of visualization, belief and positive thinking on the body, and shows how using our imagination and mental processes can stimulate our own defences and healing systems to combat disease, pain and illness. In this new edition, Dr Hamilton has added four new chapters to discuss the latest cutting-edge information and extraordinary new techniques. These include using imagery to stimulate the immune system - a method that can benefit cancer patients undergoing conventional treatment - effectively using the mind to speed up rehabilitation from stroke, and powerful visualization strategies to help facilitate recovery from injury and illness.

Download or read book Healing the Mind through the Power of Story written by Lewis Mehl-Madrona and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-06-18 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychiatry that recognizes the essential role of community in creating a new story of mental health • Provides a critique of conventional psychiatry and a look at what mental health care could be • Includes stories used in the author’s healing practice that draw from traditional cultures around the world Conventional psychiatry is not working. The pharmaceutical industry promises it has cures for everything that ails us, yet a recent study on antidepressants showed there is no difference of success in prescribed pharmaceuticals from placebos when all FDA-reported trials are considered instead of just the trials published in journals. Up to 80 percent of patients with bipolar depression remain symptomatic despite conventional treatment, and 10 to 20 percent of these patients commit suicide. In Healing the Mind through the Power of Story, Dr. Mehl-Madrona shows what mental health care could be. He explains that within a narrative psychiatry model of mental illness, people are not defective, requiring drugs to “fix” them. What needs “fixing” is the ineffective stories they have internalized and succumbed to about how they should live in the world. Drawing on traditional stories from cultures around the world, Dr. Mehl-Madrona helps his patients re-story their lives. He shows how this innovative approach is actually more compatible with what we are learning about the biology of the brain and genetics than the conventional model of psychiatry. Drawing on wisdom both ancient and new, he demonstrates the power and success of narrative psychiatry to bring forth change and lasting transformation.
