HEALING MIND:: Five Steps to Ultimate Healing, Four Rooms for Thoughts: Achieving Satisfaction through a Well Managed Mind

Healing Mind describes a way of organizing your thinking with the intention of awakening you to your complete self. Because our conscious and unconscious thinking creates our life story, the power of our thoughts affects us in profound ways-contentment and health or illness and turmoil. In these pages, you become your own therapist. Using practical tools for healing a whole variety of emotional and spiritual ills, you approach the past and future in the here and now, which then heals your experience of life. Psychological and theological concepts merge more effectively than ever before to create an incredible inner peace for the religious and non-religious alike. The result is human freedom-a confident and unique way of being that has the potential to overcome the world through profound love.

Our unrecognized and forgotten reactions to hurt are stored in our muscles as stress that limits our ability to respond to our body or emotions, causing us to settle for less than our life's full potential. The majority of individuals prevent themselves from living happy, productive lives because they never address their stored feelings. Don't be most people! Be determined to experience your hidden unresolved physical tension and modify aspects of yourself that do not serve you. Become fully alive. Stand on your own feet and give your own free response to the call of each moment. Experience your life's deep inner satisfaction through a well-managed mind. Achieve ultimate healing.
