"The cure of a part should not be attempted without treatment of the whole. No attempt should be made to cure the body without the soul and if the head and the body are to be well, you must begin by curing the mind... this is the great error of our day in the treatment of the human body that physicians separate soul and body".
So said Plato in circa 400 BC.
This Workbook was developed from Dr Page's internationally renowned and respected "Spirit in Practice" course for orthodox and complementary practitioners. The aims of this course are:
* To enhance understanding of the Mind/Body relationship
* To enable people to reduce stress levels
* To raise awareness of subtle energies and their effects
* To encourage people to awaken their Inner Healer
Readers are offered a rich variety of exercises, meditations and guided visualisations, designed to raise their awareness of the connection between our thoughts, emotions and personality traits, and our health and well-being on all levels.
