When wellness fads, lifestyle changes, and conventional medicine have all failed to deliver healing, how can we make ourselves miracle-prone? Find out in this resource-rich guide, a discerning look at healing practices from around the world alongside the latest research on how we heal, from the New York Times bestselling author of Mind Over Medicine.

Full Description
“Sacred Medicine is a book of inclusion. It does not prescribe nor preach nor proselytize: it illustrates, informs, and illuminates.” —From the foreword by Dr. Gabor Maté, author of When the Body Says No and In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts.
 
In 2007, Lissa Rankin left a promising career in medicine to tend to her own health and well-being. Her search to discover why people really get sick and what truly optimizes health outcomes launched a bestselling book, two television specials, and a revolution in the way we look at mind-body medicine. But so many questions remained for this doctor and skeptic. How is it that some people do everything right and stay sick, while others seem to do nothing extraordinary yet fully recover? How does faith healing work—or does it? What’s behind the phenomenon of spontaneous remission—and is this something we can influence? Can we make ourselves miracle-prone?
 
Certain that, if she looked hard enough, she would find the answers, Dr. Rankin embarked on a decade-long journey to explore these questions and more. The result is Sacred Medicine, both a seeker’s travelogue and a discerning guide to the sometimes-perilous paths available to patients when wellness fads, lifestyle changes, and doctors have failed them.
 
In Sacred Medicine, you’ll follow Dr. Rankin around the world to meet healers gifted and flawed, go on pilgrimage to sacred sites, investigate the science of healing, and learn how to stay safe when seeking a healer. You’ll receive the wisdom offered by Indigenous cultures for whom healing begins with our sacred connection to Mother Earth, and dive deep into the cutting-edge trauma research that is igniting a medical revolution. Rich with practices and protocols that Dr. Rankin has found particularly effective, Sacred Medicine delivers a thoughtful, grounded exploration of questions around how we heal—and a path of hope for those in need.

Well written and insightful healing

I find it inspiring as I do with much from sounds true syncrinistic and giving of amazing insight and practices.

As a therapist and Omm meditator I do find in my life and as read the question arising within, why has previously labelled alternative therapy got so redicukousky expensive, that almost corporate..

1000 a week the healing center in Brazil.

Online has amazed me in its effectiveness, as many people have had to. podcasts etc all onli e, yet long the real, and this in a few areas now only for the rich, and however much practice and I do we need as this book says a supportive place to do so.. Enjoying her way balancing all this
