A practical guide to using the powers of the mind and the imagination to form rituals that can help the body restore and maintain health

Winner of the American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Award

As the success of Bill Moyers’s bestselling Healing and the Mind shows, the mind-body connection is widely and enthusiastically accepted. Rituals of Healing uses the mind-body connection to develop remarkable techniques for healing—which it presents with the inspiring stories of patients who have used them successfully.

Designed to complement and enhance a physician’s care and established medical treatment, the rituals in this book can be customized for maximum benefit for any individual. Filled with specific exercises, visualization scripts, and insightful case histories, Rituals of Healing provides caring, attentive guidance through each step of the healing journey.
