Editorial Review:

When Dr. Herbert Benson introduced this simple, effective, mind/body approach to relieve stress in The Relaxation Response twenty-five years ago, the book became an instant national bestseller. Since that time, millions of people have learned the secret of the relaxation response--without high-priced lectures, drugs, or prescription medicine. The tremendous success of this approach has turned The Relaxation Response into the classic reference recommended by most health care professionals and authorities to treat the harmful effects of stress.

This revitalizing, therapeutic approach, discovered by Dr. Benson and his colleagues in the laboratories of Harvard Medical School and its teaching hospitals, is now routinely recommended to treat patients suffering from heart conditions, high blood pressure, chronic pain, insomnia, and many other physical ailments. Requiring only minutes to learn, and just ten to twenty minutes of practice twice a day, the Relaxation Response has proven to be one of the most effective ways to relieve the tensions of modern-day living for a richer, healthier, more productive life.

Editorial Review:

Now in paperback, the guide to living a meaningful life from the world stress expert

"[The] journey toward health and sanity is nothing less than an invitation to wake up to the fullness of our lives as if they actually mattered . . ." --Jon Kabat-Zinn, from the Introduction

Ten years ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn changed the way we thought about awareness in everyday life with his now-classic introduction to mindfulness, Wherever You Go, There You Are. Now, with Coming to Our Senses, he provides the definitive book for our time on the connection between mindfulness and our physical and spiritual wellbeing. With scientific rigor, poetic deftness, and compelling personal stories, Jon Kabat-Zinn examines the mysteries and marvels of our minds and bodies, describing simple, intuitive ways in which we can come to a deeper understanding, through our senses, of our beauty, our genius, and our life path in a complicated, fear-driven, and rapidly changing world.

In each of the book’s eight parts, Jon Kabat-Zinn explores another facet of the great adventure of healing ourselves -- and our world -- through mindful awareness, with a focus on the "sensescapes" of our lives and how a more intentional awareness of the senses, including the human mind itself, allows us to live more fully and more authentically. By "coming to our senses" -- both literally and metaphorically by opening to our innate connectedness with the world around us and within us -- we can become more compassionate, more embodied, more aware human beings, and in the process, contribute to the healing of the body politic as well as our own lives in ways both little and big.

Great Read 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is a very good book. When reading it, just keep in mind there are no absolutes. The information is good and should be used as a guideline, there is more than one way to do the reconnection work.

Interesting 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I do feel the healing energy of the book. It's interesting that just by reading it, it seems to transmit energy (I've noticed physical changes I've been trying to manifest) but I only wish, this book and the story of how Dr. Pearl started doing healings was a lot more... shall we say... entertaining and engrossing. Instead, this reads like an autobiography that starts from even before he was born in the hospital to his evolution from skeptic to healer. Nothing too exciting--for me anyway.

As for activating your DNA, you may like to try a how to book like Go Up and Seek God: 12-Strand DNA Technique for Healing and Enlightenment and ThetaHealing.

Editorial Review:

Why are prominent doctors and medical researchers all over the world interested in the extraordinary healings reported by patients of Dr. Eric Pearl? This book takes you on Eric Pearl's journey from the discovery of his ability to heal, to his well-deserved reputation as the instrument through which "reconnective healing" is being introduced to the world. But most important, The Reconnection reveals methods you can use to personally master new healing energies.

The Logorrhea Diet 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Yikes! What is about Dr. Ornish that makes reviewers run on so? I've never read such long vehement, screeds, pro and con. We bought this book to help us lower a slightly elevated "bad" cholesterol and tryglyceride problem in the family, and it has done that. IMHO, recipes contain a little too soy for post-menopausal women, but an informed reader need not work in a vacuum. Use common sense and modify the diet as needed. Add cold water fish, for example. Expect a good outcome even if you adopt only 80% of Ornish's menu.

Editorial Review:

"Whether or not you think you'll ever be concerned about your heart, this is likely to be the most useful book about health you'll read this year, maybe ever."
ESQUIRE
In this breakthrough book, Dr. Dean Ornish presents dramatic evidence that heart disease can be halted or even reversed simply by changing your life-style. Step-by-step he will guide you through the extraordinary Opening Your Heart program that takes you beyond the purely physical side of health care to include the psychological, emotional, and spiritual aspects so vital to healing. This book represents the best modern medicine has to offer. It can inspire you to open your heart to a longer, better, happier life.

Good starting point but the techniques are not useful 2 out of 5 stars.
4 of 12 people found this review helpful.

You start this book thinking that this is the reason why I'm suffering but the techniques he created don't seem to work at all. They look artificial and you get an instinctive feeling that they're not gonna work, and for me they really don't seem to have an effect. I'd suggest you go to a Rosen Method practioner. This method has scientific evidence of how it works and seems to cure everyone's stuck feelings who has tried it.

Editorial Review:

Researchers have shown that survivors of accidents, disaster, and childhood trauma often endure life-long symptoms ranging from anxiety and depression to unexplained physical pain, fatigue, illness, and harmful "acting out" behaviors reflecting these painful events. Today, millions in both the bodywork and the psychotherapeutic fields are turning to Peter A. Levine’s breakthrough Somatic Experiencing™ methods to effectively overcome these challenges. In Healing Trauma, Dr. Levine gives readers the personal how-to-guide for using the theory he first introduced in his highly acclaimed work, Waking the Tiger.

Dated Material 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I thought that I would like this book given the reviews that I read, but after getting it I relaized that the information seemed very dated. The copyright of book is 1992. Some of the information on specific health issues has changed or doesn't take into account some current science on the issues. There is more that is understood about digestive health almost 10 years later and far more interesting reads. I returned it to Amazon.

I have life to look forward to again 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

If a person WANTS to get well - at all costs except another Doctor's visit, this book is invaluable. I was looking forward to the next 40 years in misery fighting chronic pain. This book was a great help in discovering what I needed to do to stop the cycle. I'm still sticking with green juice until I know for sure everything I can or cannot tolerate, but there is definitely a light at the end of my tunnel! I've been seriously jucing since January 6th and I have been able to get off all meds. Green juice actually nips my migraines in the bud and have not had one develop since January 6th.
