Spirit Body Healing: Using Your Mind's Eye to Unlock the Medicine Within

"Dr. Mike Samuels provides us with new tools and ways of thinking about our capacity to heal. He has been a wonderful teacher for me and can be for you. . . . His work is inspiring."
—Bernie Siegel, MD

A forefather in the field of mind-body medicine and one of the world's leading experts on healing through creative imagery explore the power of the spirit-body-mind connection. Filled with inspiring and beautifully written stories of people who have recovered from such life-threatening illnesses as cancer, heart disease, and severe depression, Spirit Body Healing is the first book on spiritual healing to emerge from a research study in a major university healthcare center. By showing readers how to deepen the spiritual dimension in their daily lives, the authors teach us how to help heal physical illness. The authors present a series of exercises, activities, and guided imagery visualizations that allow readers to use their mind's eye to unlock the medicine within.

MICHAEL SAMUELS, M.D., has used guided imagery with cancer patients for over twenty-five years. The author of sixteen previous books, Dr. Samuels has often appeared on television and radio, including the Today show.

MARY ROCKWOOD LANE, R.N., Ph.D., one of the world’s experts on healing and art, is the cofounder and codirector of the Arts in Medicine Program at the University of Florida, where the Spirit Body Healing study was conducted.
