Spirit Heals

"Spirit Heals" is a wide-ranging manifesto on how women heal and how they can incorporate aspects of spirit, emotion, mind, and body in their healing journey. Author Meredith Young-Sowers explores a wide range of resources, external and internal: doctors, nutrition, chemo, radiation, massage, acupuncture, surgery, energy work, meditation, visualization. She explains how focused participation to rekindle kindness and passion can occur simultaneously with any other treatment to enhance healing. She introduces the concepts of "spiritual DNA" and "spiritual genes" that let readers see they are not "destined" to be sick and can be proactive in achieving health. Particular sections include "Ask Yourself," which helps readers reform their thoughts; "Attitude Shifts," which contains affirmations and reminders of the healing thoughts and actions; and "Activities," which guides readers step by step through changes. Based in part on her extensive workshop teachings, "Spirit Heals" is an informed, loving reminder that good health is something every woman should -- and can -- have.
