Joan Borysenko, one of the pioneers of the new medical synthesis called psychoneuroimmunology, narrates her best-selling book of the same name, in which she teaches you how to elicit your mind's powerful relaxation response in order to boost your immune system, overcome chronic pain, and alleviate the symptoms of stress-related illness.
Minding the Body, Mending the Mind will show you how to take an active role in your own healing . . . and transform your life!
Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., co-founder and former director of the Mind/Body Clinic at Boston's Deaconess Hospital, is an innovator of psychoneuro-immunology. It draws upon the mind's ability to use deep relaxation to promote physical healing, eliminate stress or stress-related illnesses, and surmount pain. Her narration represents sincere and heartfelt experiences passed on in a genuine manner. The listener is so captured by her openness and insightfulness that it's easy to forget about her impressive credentials and think of her as a spiritual counselor. She doesn't preach but gently guides us through the typical pitfalls of life to allow us to become more fulfilled and content. B.J.P. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
