"Through the
principles made clear in this illuminating breakthrough book, Dr.
Miller has guided me on an astounding journey of profound physical,
mental, emotional, and spiritual healing." ~Joan Baez, Folksinger, Activist
Overview and Contents:
Twenty-five years after creating a new approach to human
health—Mind-Body Medicine—Dr. Miller presents the definitive work in the
field. Coming at a crucial point in America's healthcare crisis, this
book can bring new hope and a sigh of relief to every reader. It
awakens even the most skeptical among us to the miraculous, inborn
self-healing capacities of our own minds and bodies, and offers
step-by-step instructions to put those innate abilities to work.
Dr. Miller's message empowers and inspires us. He reveals secrets of
self-healing, now well established by medical science, yet seldom made
public. Even more gratifying, he presents information and skills that
can put the magic of healing directly back into the hands of patients
and caring health professionals. He does this by describing eye-opening
research, fascinating case histories, and a broad perspective extending
from the personal to the societal.
Deep Healing is a bold new step forward in the theory, philosophy and
practice of the healing arts and sciences. Dr. Miller makes the case
that we must take a whole new look at the importance of the traditional
doctor-patient relationship, as recalled by the Hippocratic Oath, if we
wish to restore quality health care. Equally vital is a healthy
relationship with Self.
Step-By-Step Self-Healing:
To support his vision for the new millennium, Dr. Miller presents
amazing new skills in mental imagery, the transformation of
disease-oriented perceptions, and the writing of positive life scripts.
These are presented in the Deep Healing Experiential Workout at the end
of each chapter, an easy, logical, self-directed program that you can
begin putting into practice today to change your mind and change your
life. Dr. Miller's humor, compassion and clinical experience with the
healing of mind, body, emotion and spirit shine through in revealing
personal vignettes, thought-provoking fables and profound quotes from
wise teachers of all times. Fascinating and illuminating, yet at the
same time remarkably user-friendly and entertaining, Deep Healing is for
everyone, lay person and health professional alike, who is interested
in healing themselves and others.

"I purchased this book after I received the CD
on recovering after surgery from a friend. The CD helped me recover from
Open Heart Surgery so quickly I wanted to understand the principles
beneath the wonderful CD. This book explains how deep healing actually
works. It explains how the mind, body, spirit and emotional connections
can help us heal ourselves. It is filled with case studies and
meditation techniques that a lay person can understand and use. I hope
you enjoy the book as much as I did."
