New York Times" bestselling author Caroline Myss draws from her years as a medical intuitive to show that healing is not only physical; it is also a mystical phenomenon that transcends reason. Inspired by ordinary people who overcame a wide array of physical & psychological ailments
- from rheumatoid arthritis to cancer
- Caroline dove into the works of the great mystics to gain a deeper understanding of healing's spiritual underpinnings. Based on these studies she demonstrates how conventional & holistic medicine often fall short in times of need. Both systems rely upon a logical approach to curing illness when there is nothing reasonable about the emotional psychological or spiritual influences behind any ailment. Integral to this mystical healing approach is the engagement of the soul which we experience through exploring our seven shadow passions building an empowered inner self around our seven inherent graces & learning how to work with the mystical laws that govern it. This knowledge holds the key to understanding what it means to defy gravity & break through the boundaries of ordinary thought to live fearlessly."
