The Healing Power of Mind: Simple Meditation Exercises for Health, Well-Being, and Enlightenment (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781645475064)

The Healing Power of Mind is an invitation to awaken the healing power of our minds through inspiring images and sounds, mindful movements, positive perceptions, soothing feelings, trusting confidence, and the realization of openness. The healing principle on which these exercises are based is the universal nature and omnipresent power envisioned in Mahayana Buddhism, yet open to those coming from any tradition. We can heal body and mind simply by allowing our own natural healing qualities to manifest: a peaceful and open mind, a loving and positive attitude, and warm, joyful energy in a state of balance and harmony.

Reissued for its 30th anniversary, Tulku Thondup's classic text invites readers to discover how our minds possess the power to heal pain and stress and to blossom into peace and joy by loosening the clinging attitudes that Buddhists call "grasping at self." When we mentally grasp and emotionally cling to our wants and worries with all our energy, we lose our enlightened freedom and strength, only to gain stress and exhaustion, suffering and overexcitement, like the turbulent waves rolling on the surface of the ocean. But if we apply the mind's healing power, we can heal not only our mental and emotional afflictions but physical problems as well. The Healing Power of Mind demonstrates that the true nature of our minds is enlightened and peaceful, as the depth of the ocean is calm and clear.
