art of healing, The
Book Description
When surgeon Bernie Siegel encountered Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's unconventional healing methods in 1979, he discovered something profound that would transform his medical practice. Despite skepticism from colleagues, Siegel began incorporating drawing and other alternative approaches into his work with cancer patients, witnessing remarkable recoveries that defied conventional expectations.
This book reveals how the body's natural healing capacity can be awakened through practices that engage the subconscious mind. Siegel demonstrates that while traditional treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation remain essential, the healing process extends far beyond medical intervention. Through his "carefrontation" protocol with Exceptional Cancer Patients, he learned that drawing creates powerful symbols from our inner wisdom, offering guidance on everything from understanding illness to making treatment choices and communicating with family members.
Readers will discover practical methods for accessing their subconscious guidance through dreams, intuition, and artistic expression. Siegel shares healing strategies that include visualization techniques, the therapeutic power of laughter, and meaningful connections with animals. These patient-tested approaches offer hope and empowerment for anyone facing health challenges, as well as their caregivers and healthcare professionals.
The Art of Healing bridges the gap between medical science and the deeper dimensions of wellness, showing how we can become active participants in our own healing journey.
