The 12 Stages of Healing A Network Approach to Wholeness

An Extraordinary New Approach to Healing the Mind and Body Have you, or someone you love, experienced . . . * A recurring sickness, healing crisis, or life-threatening illness? * A feeling of emptiness and longing for no apparent reason? * A major trauma, emotional hardship, or life-changing event? * A feeling of being stuck in a pattern of self-destructive behavior? The Twelve Stages of Healing offers fascinating insights into the complex relationship between mind, emotions, and body, and shows how to promote greater health in our bodies, and harmony in our relationships. After observing thousands of people in both private practice and public seminars, Dr. Epstein discovered twelve basic rhythms, or stages of consciousness, shared by all humanity. Each stage of healing has a distinct "rite of passage" that helps us to reunite with aspects of ourselves that are traumatized, alienated, forgotten, abused, shamed, or unforgiven. Each stage also has a characteristic pattern of breath, movement, and touch that can help us to reconnect with the natural, internal rhythms of our body, and experience a greater sense of joy and well-being.
