Rent Minding the Body, Mending the Mind

Synopsis

In MINDING THE BODY, MENDING THE MIND, her first book, Joan Borysenko, parallels the experience of attending the Harvard mind-body clinic which she founded. She begins with an introduction into the science of healing. Subsequent chapters look at eliciting relaxation response through meditation, breathing and stretching exercises; learning to observe the mind and develop a practice of mindfulness; recognizing and overcoming mind traps such as negative personal and social beliefs, rationalizing, disillusionment and despair. Examples of healing perceptions and negative emotions through humor, affirmation, hypnosis, dream work, and creativity round out this excellent introduction to mind-body healing.
