As a medical intern thirty years ago, Gabriel Weiss observed that meditation healed symptoms of stress and was preferable to tranquillisers, which often caused adverse side effects. Since then, meditation has become an important part of Dr. Weiss's practice. Pain, heart disease, cancer and depression are just a few of the common conditions that meditation can help. The HEALING POWER OF MEDITATION combines medical studies, neuroscientific research, clinical case histories, spiritual wisdom, jazz lyrics, poems, paintings and Zen philosophy, weaving together a set of principles and meditative practices that you can easily integrate into your daily life. Each section incorporates simple exercises to help you take the ideas and practices discussed to a deeper level. Written for people with little time for formal daily meditation exercise, The HEALING POWER OF MEDITATION teaches that, with practice, you can learn to unlock and benefit from meditation's healing power.
