The Healing Power of the Mind

Former Mayo clinic physician Rolf Alexander wrote this book after years of research into miracle cures, the power of suggestion, prayer, visualization and positive thinking--all of which can often achieve results that western clinical medicine can not. Alexander discusses the extraordinary powers of hypnosis and suggestion, such as how patients have a harder time recovering when trapped in self-defeating mindsets, or around people who unconsciously use suggestion and negative reinforcement to keep them sick. This is a very basic, very practical little guide to the world of self-healing, summing up Alexander's wealth of personal experience researching eastern spiritual traditions such as Hinduism and Buddhism. His findings have the ring of truth and are backed up with enough experiential evidence that only the most close-minded will be able to dismiss them. His use of The Absolute in place of God could also make this the right place to start for those who have a problem with religion but are seeking to improve their health and lives through better systems of thinking and self perception.
