Understanding the Human Mind The Power of Healing Thought (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781838406608)

The mind-body connection has been in focus for thousands of years.

Ancient philosophers and modern day scientists have been relentlessly pursuing the nature of this relationship, and it seems like we've finally reached the climax of this millenial journey.

Do negative thoughts trigger disruptive changes in our bodies?

Can you heal your body with your mind?

Can the answer to your health problems be as simple as... meditation?

These are the questions that science is trying to answer, and the pile of evidence suggesting that the mind controls the body is growing every day.

However, contemporary healthcare practices are still a step behind this progress.

Conventional medicine treats the mind and body as two separate entities, focusing on the physical causes of diseases, while ignoring the psychological ones.

Nevertheless, more and more physicians support and promote a holistic approach to medical treatment, one that considers the whole person: body, emotions, mind, and spirit.

As a result, a shocking amount of testimonies are emerging from patients who have managed to win the battle against chronic conditions, such as cancer, by using various psychoneurological methods.

New discoveries connected to the mind-body relationship have opened a world of possibilities and new disciplines, dedicated to researching these phenomenons.

It seems we have finally unlocked the secrets of the human mind... and here's what we've observed.

In Understanding the Human Mind, you will discover:

● Is there a difference between the human mind and the brain? - how the answer to this question can revolutionize the way we approach medicine forever

● The exciting scientific discoveries of psychoneuroimmunology, a discipline that established a connection between the human mind and the immune system

● Why stress truly is the "silent killer", and how to fight it by using simple techniques that trigger the relaxation response

● How to heal your body with laughter, and the neuroplastic properties of the brain that make this incredible feat possible

● Why yoga and meditation play a huge role in your wellbeing, and the scientific evidence that proves their effect on your physical health

● How negative thoughts affect your body through the so-called nocebo effect - and how to stop them before they set off on their destructive journey

● The scientific truth behind spontaneous remissions and other medical "miracles" - find out if there is such a thing as a self-healing brain

And much more.

The goal is not to prove the connection between the mind and body - science has already done that.
