Synopsis

The New York Times bestseller, revised and updated

This beloved guide, revised and updated with up-to-the minute scientific and spiritual insight, teaches readers how to listen to their bodies and assess all areas of their lives--relational, psychological, creative, environmental, professional--to understand what they need for health.
 
When Mind Over Medicine was first published, it broke new ground in the fertile region where science and spirituality intersect. Through the process of restoring her own health, Dr. Lissa Rankin discovered that the conventional health care she had been taught to practice was missing something crucial: a recognition of the body's innate ability to self-repair and an appreciation for how we can control these self-healing mechanisms with the power of our own consciousness.
To better understand this phenomenon, she explored peer-reviewed medical literature and found evidence that the medical establishment had been proving that the body can heal itself for over 50 years. She shared her findings and laid out a practical plan for readers to heal themselves in this profoundly wise audiobook--a New York Times bestseller and now a classic guide for people who are on a healing journey from illness, injury, or trauma.

In the years since then, Dr. Rankin has deepened her exploration of the world's healing tradition and her understanding of the healing power we hold within ourselves--if only we can tap into it. This revised edition of Mind Over Medicine reflects her latest research, evolving wisdom, and work with clients and students in her healing community, as well as with doctors and other healers in her Whole Health Medicine Institute.

Inside, readers will discover:

   • A thorough update of Dr. Rankin's signature Six Steps to Healing Yourself 

   • New insight into how unresolved trauma can stand in the way of healing from chronic and life-threatening illnesses-and powerful tools we can use to heal it 

   • How to tune in to our Inner Pilot Light for intuitive guidance in our healing 

And much more

"The healing that is possible may be right here," Dr. Rankin writes, "closer than close, underneath all your efforting and striving, available if you are ready to humble yourself before this possibility and receive what awaits you."

Goodreads review by Toni on May 21, 2013

I devoured this book and it is now on my Required Reading list. Lissa Rankin has done an extensive amount of research that shows, without a doubt, what we think, believe, and feel can either heal or harm our bodies. This isn't the usual woo-woo "think positive and visualize what you want" and everyt......more

Goodreads review by Gina on May 26, 2013

Okay, so I'm lying. I didn't finish this book. The concept is fantastic and incredibly intriguing. And many of the early examples of the mind triumphing over serious disease are mind-boggling. I just felt like the same concepts were written about over and over again and that many chapters could have b......more

Goodreads review by Suzanne on July 23, 2013

3.5 Since I believe completely in the mind-body connection, Dr. Rankin was pretty much preaching to the converted here, but it is interesting to get the details about how stress and its opposite, “the relaxation response,” cause specific physiological changes in the body that can cause /contribute t......more

Goodreads review by Erin on July 15, 2013

FANTASTIC. I cannot recommend this book highly enough! My coach recommended this to me, and as I've had a chronic condition aggravated by stress (Lissa Rankin would probably say using the term "chronic condition" is not helpful to healing) for 16 years, I'm always trying to figure out how to heal my......more

Goodreads review by Cloris on June 19, 2013

In Mind Over Medicine, Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself by Dr. Lissa Rankin, taking care of ourselves takes on a whole new meaning. I chose to read this book because I listened to Lissa speak at the I Can Do It Conference, and was awestruck at the stories of spontaneous remission that she......more
