Book Synopsis
This is the long-awaited new edition of the critically-acclaimed, first book that describes the language link between mind and body. The author teaches "Verbal Hygiene" to avoid dis-easing language that sabotages wellness. Readers learn to decode physical sensations and discover their underlying Core Beliefs and Seedthoughts.
This re-designed and expanded edition contains 100 extra pages of updated information plus an extensive resource list, index and 53 self-help experiences. Levine writes from her own experience having brain surgery to remove a tumor and includes information from experts in psychology, religion and medicine plus a chapter by Bernie Siegel on dreams and drawings.
