I just listened to the Caroline Myss podcast. It was fabulous!!! I’ve been a fan of hers since before “Why People Don’t Heal” was published. After all these years she still teaches me something new every time I hear her speak. Thanks for doing these podcasts. They’re a terrific resource. Namaste’

Breakthrough “therapy” adresses just what Caroline has described. . .no blaming others but accepting and letting go totally of all the ego blaiming of others for our problems. http://www.bodytalksystem.com It also sounds very much like “a lesson in miracles. . ” dissolve ego with forgiveness. wonderful:)

A beautiful word for Endurance is Hypomene, pronounced ‘who-poe-mon-ney’. It is a Greek word that means, Stand your Ground or Patient Endurance. Caroline not only stands her ground, she is a mighty Oak; a sacred symbol of strength and endurance and a gateway between worlds. Sometimes she takes me to the edge of my own endurance; and I go nuts but I understand that oak nuts (acorns) are one of the most important wildlife foods on earth.

Eternal integrity are two words that coursed through me when I heard them. Prayer, like my godmother told me, is the way…Thanks Carolyn for reminding me, its simple, devout, and far reaching…

I enjoyed Energy Anatomy a lot; it was very thought-provoking for me at the time. However, I’ve got to say that Ms. Myss is not completely accurate in regards to what therapists/counselors do in working with their clients. I’m in a Master’s counseling program and am studying various theories of therapy and not all of them are as she says, which is: going back in one’s past to see who wounded you and then thinking once that is taken care of, healing will happen. Freudian therapists may do that (aka psychoanalytic therapists), but they are not the majority anymore. For example, Cognitive Behavioral Therapists do not focus on one’s past; they focus on the present behavior of the client and what is working and what is not working in their lives. The past is dealt with as it comes up but it is not the primary focus. There are many therapy modalities out there and they’re quite different from one another. Moreover, there are variations within the same therapy modality; one therapist may work somewhat differently from another. It sounded to me as though Ms. Myss was representing that all therapy works the same way; this is just not the case. I’ve got to stand up for my future profession here. :-)

Caroline speaks with a straight tongue. Some notes. She reminds us that we cling to our ego due to our insecurities. This day will never come again. How will I use this day?

We get a feel for people who are good and those who are untrustworthy. People’s goodnes goes right into us. Ken Wilber teaches us that no one knows what happens after we die.

I am in the interior castle and awaiting the presence of God. Healing could come from this.

Shatter the belief that bad things should not happen to me. Be humble. Doing good things does not protect us from bad things. Sorry.

Blame, self pity, and therapy do not help. Our thirst for vengence causes our suffering. Help me to see my life as sacred. Let me not just serve myself. Wonderful non stop insight train. Yes it is.

I usually enjoy your interviews – many are wonderful – but I couldn’t get beyond the first ten minutes of this one. I feel that Myss places an inordinate emphasis on blaming an individual for their own health problems.

To be told an illness is caused by a desire to manipulate, or that people ‘don’t want to heal’ is both hurtful and simplistic. There may be emotional or psychological issues underpinning an illness – but these are better explored in a non-judgemental, compassionate way, than in Caroline Myss’ very judgemental language.

And what about biological, environmental, or genetic causes of illness? Are babies born with HIV across Africa choosing their illness as a way of manipulating, or seeking power? If they die from their condition, is it because they clung to their suffering and didn’t want to heal?

It’s good to have a wide variety of views about illness and health, but we need to think logically about opinions espoused by people such as Caroline Myss.
