Mind Over Medicine by Lissa Rankin – Cracking the Nocebo Code

mind over medicine

Did you know that people who respond well to a placebo are often REMOVED from clinical trials?

The Nocebo Effect is something I had heard of, but wasn't 100% sure that I understood the definition well - until I read Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself, that is.

The theory behind the Nocebo Effect is that we can think ourselves sick, basically - and perhaps even sicker when we are surrounded by others who think of us that way also.

So the formula (according to Lissa) would be Negative Beliefs + Harsh Care = Sickness.

The power of personal belief is a tool that can be applied for everybody's health and well being.  We just need to be taught how to use it.

How Family Pathology Begins: Peace from Broken Pieces

family pathology

If your family patterns have been difficult or you don't feel in touch with your broken pieces, then I highly recommend this book - it's not an easy read, but a deep one. Iyanla Vanzant is an internationally recognized author, healer and teacher. In this book she tells the story of the broken pieces of her life, and how she finds a way to put all the pieces in order through the lens of healing herself.
