In an era of plentiful, often radical diet books and scary health newsflashes, the natural, holistic approach of Dr. Andrew Weil provides an oasis of balance and common sense for readers interested in improving their health -- without the aid of bells and whistles.

The keys to healing through guided imagery, taught by two medical pioneers and bestselling authors.

The verdict is in: guided imagery works. Study after study over the past three decades has found that the power of the mind can influence almost every major system of the body-from breathing and heart rate to digestion and immune response. At the forefront of this pioneering approach is Dr. Martin Rossman, widely considered the #1 expert in the therapeutic use of guided imagery. On Self-Healing with Guided Imagery, Dr. Rossman joins trusted physician and bestselling author Dr. Andrew Weil for the first time on audio to offer a concentrated course that will help listeners experience immediately the benefits of this effective and easy-to-learn practice.

On part one, Drs. Weil and Rossman share insights on the mind-body connection and how guided imagery can relieve chronic pain, ease stress and anxiety, even help in the treatment of cancer and other common health problems. Part two presents three complete exercises led by Dr. Rossman to teach listeners the basics of guided imagery, from principles of relaxation to discovering your "inner healer" to using imagery to relieve pain and stimulate healing. From two of America's favorite doctors, Self-Healing with Guided Imagery is the perfect introduction to this "critical component to all healing."
