Healing Power / Philip Shapiro (ePub)

If you are still in pain when you finish with your doctor, this workbook is for you. Healing Power is designed to help healthcare professionals and consumers skillfully manage the pain the medical model cannot fix.

Here you will find fifteen methods and one hundred qualities you can use to contain, reduce, or eliminate your suffering and skillfully guide you through what is left. These methods and qualities are a composite of the wisdom of the ages from the sages. If we follow their advice, we can expand our healing power, become ever-increasingly skillful pain managers, and evolve.

If you have finally had enough suffering, if you have a passionate desire to change, if you are ready to do some work, this model answers the call.

Read on and you will find a gold mine of spiritual principles, methods, qualities, and pearls of wisdom that will help you become increasingly better at managing your pain. You will learn how to:

• Turn the tables on your pain and make it work for rather than against you.


• Use your pain as a teacher and stimulant for the growth of healing qualities such as love, compassion, patience, kindness, humor, forgiveness, courage, strength, and perseverance, qualities that will help you in every domain of your life, both personal and professional.


• Feel better.


• Become a better person.


• Experience higher states of consciousness: the peace that surpasses understanding, pure unconditional love, intuitive wisdom, unfathomable stillness, and ecstatic joy. People call this bliss, nirvana, God, Christ Consciousness, the Atman, or soul. It doesn't matter what you call it; the experience is gorgeous.
