Product Description:
Today we are experiencing extraordinary technological advances in the diagnosis and treatment of illness while at the same time learning to take more responsibility for our own health and well-being. In this book, Saki Santorelli, director of the nationally acclaimed Stress Reduction Clinic, explores the ancient roots of medicine, and shows us how to introduce mindfulness into the crucible of the healing relationship. His approach revolutionizes the dynamics between the patient and the practitioner. In describing the classes at the clinic and the transformation that takes place in this alchemical process, he offers insights and effective methods for cultivating mindfulness in our everyday lives. As he reveals the inner landscape of his own life as a health care professional and we join him and those with whom he works on this journey of human suffering and courage, we become aware of and honor what is darkest and brightest within each one of us.

Lovely book. Gentle philosophical, emotionally satisfying and poetic. The book arrived in good condition and is one I will read over and over. Highly recommended for anyone in the therapeutic arts/crafts or interested in mindfulness practice.

It also provides a lot of self help lessons for anyone who would like to try out the concepts ... Read More
Rating: - Profound little book
I've read this little book several times, getting more and more from it with each rereading. I've also purchased several copies for friends. I've had the pleasure of attending a 7 day workshop with the author, and he is as sincere and charismatic as he is in this book. What a gift!!
Rating: - Healing in a deeper way
I've read many books on healing. This book addresses healing in a deeply spiritual manner that is very easy to read, understand and implement.
