Overview

Harvard-trained medical scientist, licensed psychologist and bestselling author Joan Borysenko reveals that healing is really the simplest of matters -- and can be accomplished with her practical, pragmatic approach. We heal by becoming truly ourselves, by discovering our wholeness.

The process of healing is one of self-realization -- a peeling away of the fears and negativity that obscure the light of our own true nature and our innate essence of compassion, creativity, wisdom, and love. As negativity is transformed, the physical body often heals as well.

Dr. Borysenko tells how you can:

* Develop a spiritual framework that can transform lives and relationships
* Gain greater inner peace through insight into the meaning of your experience
* Understand the connections between mind and body
* Heal your life with the powers of love and prayer

Listen to this program and you will be delighted, inspired, instructed and uplifted. Work with this program and you can help heal obstructing emotional patterns. Commit to a practice of mindfulness, meditation and prayer and you can heal not only your own soul, but become a healing influence on others.
