The Healing Power of Illness

This classic book, long out of print in English, challenges accepted ideas of illness by exploring the holistic roots of disease.

What if instead of thinking of illness as something be fought, you considered your symptoms as providing insight on your spiritual wellbeing? When you see your symptoms as bodily expressions of psychological or spiritual conflicts, you can use them as guides to inner work. You can respond to troubles with infection, allergies, respiration, digestion, skin, nervous system, heart and circulation, sexuality and pregnancy, even accidents, with practical actions that heal the heart and mind.
