Spiritual Healing
There is an amazing amount of wisdom in Spiritual Healing that will seep into your brain and change your thought process. It is a fun, easy to read book that examines various unconventional types of healing including acupuncture, meditation, massage therapy, bioenergetics, magnets, crystals and shamanism. It also covers various methods of making the mind work to heal an individual through the mind/body/spirit connection, leading to healthier interpersonal relationships and peace at work.This book shows you how to change your thinking and in the process change your life.
Here are some reviews from the original version (only thing that changed was it no longer has Idiot in the title):
This is a great primer about spiritual healing and healing modalities.
"Don't let the title of this book put you off. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Spiritual Healing by Dr. Susan Gregg has the simplistic layout of the "Idiot's Guide" book so it's easy to navigate. Dr. Gregg was a student of Don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide To Personal Freedom, and his Mother, Sister Sarita, "
"The very first page sets the tone and intent of the book: a cheerful orange reference card that spans the entire page. On it are suggestions for creating a daily routine, making a list of nurturing things, and a list of affirmations called Talking to Yourself in the Mirror, which Dr. Gregg encourages you to add to with your own positive statements."
"Having dealt with depression for six years, I found this book to be a very useful eye-opener; I don't think anything I've read has helped me heal as much as Dr. Gregg's. It will enable you to find and deal with the root causes of many of the issues that worry or upset you and to raise your self-esteem. There were a couple ideas in the book I didn't entirely agree with, but then it's also a question of interpretation. Highly recommend."
In a nut shell:
Part 1, “Your Journey Toward Wholeness,” gives you an overview of spiritual healing, it outlines some of its benefits, and helps you decide if it’s something you really want to do.
In Part 2, “So, What’s Available?” we explore many of the alternative healing methods available. There are methods for healing your body, your mind, and your spirit. We are composed of three parts: our minds, our body, and our spirits. In the next three sections we explore each part of this miraculous trinity.
Part 3, “Making Your Mind Your Own,” shows you how to retrain your mind so it is your servant instead of your master.
Part 4, “When Your Body Yells, Listen,” explores the needs of your body, including how to free yourself from addictions.
Part 5, “The Spirit That Moves You,” we explore ways to connect with your spirit.
Part 6, “Putting it All Together,” will help you create a formula that works for you, that will allow you to heal your life. You will be shown how improve the quality of your relationships and how to be happy no matter what’s happening in your life.
Part 7, “A Vision for the Future,” talks about the world as a whole and the role we can play in helping the world be a better place.

Susan Gregg's book on Spiritual Healing provided me with some very useful, and practical means of growth. I know that it is no accident that her books have come across my path, because I can see how God has used them to enhance my spiritual journey. I look forward to reading all of her work, and believe that the insights she shares are of benefit to anyone wanting to further their spiritual enlightenment. At least, that's what has happened for me.
