Our bodies have an amazing capacity for repair and regeneration, healing a broken ankle or grazed knee. The power to heal exists within all of us, but few people learn how to support it and harness it in our times of greatest need -- illness and disease. In this unique book, experienced alternative therapist Josef Ulrich argues that drawing on our innate spiritual creativity, authenticity and self-will can lead to active healing, where the patient is no longer a victim of their condition but a vital contributor to their recovery. With plenty of case studies, exercises, observations and check lists, this readable and practical book sets out to empower us to boost our immune system and, in partnership with conventional treatments, give us the best chance of healing.
