Publisher's Synopsis
One of the greatest achievements of modern science has been the discovery that the mind and body are not separate and independent things, but a single entity seen from different angles. Descartes erred in separating body and mind. And western medicine, which followed in their footsteps, also made a mistake in neglecting the importance of patients' mental state when assessing their state of health,
When we cling to desires and worries with all our energy, we only create nervous tension and exhaustion. By adopting the attitude buddhists call "letting go of self," we can open to our true, peaceful, enlightened nature. This book is an invitation to discover our inner wisdom, the source of healing that we all possess. We can open the door to that wisdom and discover the light, warmth, and gentle breeze of well-being. The source of this energy belongs to us, we can touch and share it at any time; it is a universal heritage capable of giving us pleasure even in this world of suffering and incessant change.
The ability to recover from such a serious illness through meditation depends on a person's degree of confidence and spiritual experience.there are very few spiritual masters among us, but we can all benefit from meditation and a positive attitude. From where we are now, we can lead happier, healthier lives.
