Healing Words

In HEALING WORDS, Dr. Larry Dossey offers a compelling argument to support the efficacy of prayer in healing. Making an important distinction between cultivating prayerfulness and praying for specific outcomes, Dr. Dossey shows how some people, on receiving a serious diagnosis, have been shown to spontaneously recover when their faith deepens and they pursue what their heart desires, be it work or leisure. He considers the importance of the doctor`s belief in healing, as well as the patient`s, and he looks at distance healing and its effects on plants and animals as well as humans. Designed to convince skeptical scientists, this is a fascinating book for anyone looking at the connection between mind, body, and spirituality. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
