The Healing Power of Mind: Simple Meditation Exercises for Health, Well-Being,

Description: It sounds like science fiction, but more and more people are tapping into the healing power of the mind. Bill Moyers brought this topic to light in a big way with his best-selling Healing and the Mind, but that was just an overview. For step-by-step instructions, you can turn to Tulku Thondup's The Healing Power of the Mind. Thondup, Tibetan Buddhist monk since the age of five and Harvard scholar, says that in the Tibetan tradition the mind is the key to health and that "mental grasping" is often the cause of our physical undoing. A cosmic counsellor of sorts, Thondup guides us first through simple exercises in relaxation and accepting present circumstances. His healing method centres on visualisation, beginning with emotions and moving on to the body. With breathing and sound as part of the package, the meditator creates a sense of well-being and compassion that is ideally carried over mindfully into everyday activities. The accelerated pupil can move on to more complex Buddhist imagery, but no matter how far you go, trusting the healing power of the mind is the first step. --Brian Bruya " Thondup's book is a rich survey of the healing resources inherent in Nyingma Buddhism. . . . Thondup's book is a rare and invaluable guide to an ancient Tibetan treasure." "Publishers Weekly" " Tulku Thondup seems to have done for Tibetan Buddhism what Shunryu Suzuki Roshi did for Zen.

A skillful distillation of Buddhist teachings on healing it is written with great charm, clarity, and simplicity in a way that people from any culture or background can benefit from. In a time of real and urgent need let's hope that people everywhere will take it to heart and connect with the limitless power of healing within."
