Summary

The true nature of our minds is enlightened and peaceful, as the depth of the ocean is calm and clear. But when we mentally grasp and emotionally cling to our wants and worries with all our energy, we lose our own enlightened freedom and healing power, only to gain stress and exhaustion, suffering and overexcitement, like the turbulent waves rolling on the surface of the ocean. Our minds possess the power to heal pain and stress, and to blossom into peace and joy, by loosening the clinging attitudes that Buddhists call "grasping at self." If we apply the mind's healing power, we can heal not only our mental and emotional afflictions, but physical problems also. This book is an invitation to awaken the healing power of mind through inspiring images and sounds, mindful movements, positive perceptions, soothing feelings, trusting confidence, and the realization of openness. The healing principle on which these exercises are based is the universal nature and omnipresent power envisioned in Mahayana Buddhism. Yet for healing, we don't have to be believers in any particular faith. We can heal body and mind simply by being what we truly are, and by allowing our own natural healing qualities to manifest: a peaceful and open mind, a loving and positive attitude, and warm, joyful energy in a state of balance and harmony.

WOW

What a fabulous listen. often pausing to make notes , I couldn't stop listening. some chapters I listened to twice. I've found myself putting moments into practice already. it's one of those books you could listen to time and time again when you need to.

it was okay

it was okay.
as a registered nurse I feel like maybe don't take medical advice from this book, otherwise it's great for building mental strength and resilience.
in a sentence: infuse everything with loving healing light, feed it to yourself and give it to the world, do this as much as you can - that's the main take home message I think x
