| Take Your Life to the Next Level with Caroline Myss!
Purchase New York Times best-selling author, renowned teacher, and medical intuitive Caroline Myss specializes in assisting people in understanding the emotional, psychological, and physical reasons why their bodies have developed an illness. In Entering the Castle, Caroline offered a contemporary view of the classical mystical experience, encouraging the reader to discover his or her ‘inner castle’ —a metaphor for the soul inspired by the magnificent teachings of the 16th century mystical theologian Saint Teresa of Ávila. In Defy Gravity: Healing Beyond the Bounds of Reason Caroline challenges the conventional approach to healing, which maintains that we can always find reasons for why things happen as they do. We can’t. And now it’s time to explore a model for healing that leads us into deeper and more effective truths. “After working in the field of health and healing for more than two decades, I have come to believe that we as a society have not fully animated the body-mind-spirit trinity that is the foundation of [the holistic model of] health, for a simple reason: we are still enamored of the more familiar power of the mind and intimidated by the less familiar, the mystical and transformational regions of the soul. And, so, although we may use the language of the spirit, we frequently retreat into the methods of the mind, which primarily indulge our need to find reasons why events happen as they do in our lives. The underlying premise is that if we can excavate these reasons, then our lives will return to normal. We will recover our health, just as vibrant as it was before the illness struck. But that rarely happens, because this system of reasoning our way through illness and crisis is undermined by a fundamental flaw: We cannot reason our way back to health. Our intellect is an inadequate vehicle to carry us through the arduous journey of healing. Healing requires far more of us than just the participation of our intellectual and even our emotional resources. Healing is, by definition, taking a process of disintegration of life and transforming it into a process of return to life. The mind cannot accomplish such a task. Only the soul has the power to bring the body back to life. If it weren’t for the fact that I have now witnessed this phenomenon several times, I would not venture into the territory of healing with enough confidence to share my findings with others. But I have been a witness to healings, and some might even say I have facilitated these healings because of what I now teach, namely, mystical wisdom blended with all that I have learned about human consciousness and this journey
Integral to this mystical healing approach is the engagement of the soul, which we experience through abandoning the fruitless quest for reason and logic and working in harmony with the mystical laws that govern our lives. This knowledge holds the key to understanding what it means to defy gravity and break through the boundaries of ordinary thought. In doing so, you come to understand how to bring closure to personal suffering and find the courage to build a new life. This inspiring book teaches you what it means to defy gravity and break through the boundaries of ordinary thought. You can heal any illness. You can channel grace. |

Drawing from her years as a medical intuitive and teacher, Caroline shares real-life stories of people who were considered “terminal cases” and, through nothing short of a miracle, survived their illnesses. Inspired by these ordinary people who overcame a wide array of physical and psychological ailments —from cancer to advanced diabetes—Caroline utilizes the wisdom of the great mystics, whose writings provide a deeper understanding of the spiritual underpinnings of healing. Based on these studies, she introduces a model of healing that draws on an understanding of the relationship between our seven shadow passions and our seven inner graces.
