Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Do we really know what's good for us? "Yes!" the author of this book would yell, and in about as profound and important a way as could possibly be imagined. This is one of a series of books and programs that Marcia Emery has written on the subject of intuitive healing. Her basic premise is that each of us has an inner guide--an "inner physician"--whom we need to learn to access and listen to. Why? Because, says Emery, this inner guide (essentially, our own intuitive mind) can help us maintain health, predict and avert health problems, suggest remedies in times of illness, and steer us towards a healthier way of functioning that will offer long-term prevention.

Emery describes intuition as "that unerring and inexplicable knowing beyond logic and volition. It lies at the roots of spontaneity, humor, creativity, inspiration, and even genius. And it is an especially powerful ally in the healing process." It is how scientists make groundbreaking discoveries, and how native peoples discover healing plants in the wild.

Emery's book is a practical how-to manual that each of us can deploy "to access the wisdom of your mind for greater healing and well-being." She offers tips, techniques, and exercises, such as meditation, affirmations, dreamwork, relaxation, body scans, and word association, together with heartening anecdotes and case studies. The benefits claimed for this approach--from testing medical diagnoses to averting illness--are profound indeed, and this book makes for a user-friendly, thought-provoking guide. --Dan Fielder

From Publishers Weekly

This author's previous work (Dr. Marcia Emery's Intuition Workbook) has focused largely on introducing the use of intuition in career and business matters. Now psychologist Emery turns her attention to personal health, again employing her eight-step "Mindshift Method" of defining the problem or question, releasing mental blockages, releasing physical tension, eliciting symbolic imagery, interpreting these symbols for the particular individual, resting, revisiting the imagery and its possible meanings and, finally, applying the information received for healing. Emery claims that everyone has an "inner physician," communicating through dreams, "lightning flash[es] of knowing" and subtle perceptions of all five senses, offering messages to warn about, diagnose and suggest remedies for all kinds of ailments. Based on the premise that "every symptom is a cry for help, signaling something amiss on the mental, emotional, and/or spiritual level," Emery stresses the importance of finding the hidden lesson, seeing the big picture and accepting that "not everything and everyone can or should be healed" in the wished-for manner. Emery provides readers with numerous exercises to practice in this instructive guide to engaging the mind in order to heal the body.

    It was certainly a pleasant surprise to learn how amazing we really are. We are more than we know. To be able to tap into another side of us and look at a bigger picture is amazing. We have perhaps grown up believing that we let others heal us or we aren't capable of knowing enough to be in charge of our health....whether that is physical, spiritual, or emotional. In this great book, we learn that we can connect to all of them. I find it a powerful experience to know this is available to us, not just from reading the book, but it has been there all along. It seems like this is the age of "awareness". Miss Emery has shared a wonderful talent she has with us all. I am so glad I purchased this book.

    I found this book easy to understand and follow. It also teaches you how to reach the depths of yourself to be an intuitive healer. Takes you from the foundation of the training to your inner physician. Very helpful and informative.

    Although I have read on the "inner doctor" that we all have this book put together very useful exercises to help develop our inner physician. I highly recommend this book. Easy to understand.

    This book is everything that I'd hoped for and more. It is very empowering and I would recommend it to any person with a willingness to heal!
  • Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2012
    This is a pretty decent little book, especially for those new to tapping into their non-logical/rational side, or those who don't think especially visually. Dr.Emery has laid the ground work for a better understanding for a less accepted form of healing (which, in my experience, has been very effective on health concerns traditional doctors couldn't help- but only coupled with other natural, holistic healing methods). I'd also like to point out that this book could definitely help overly logical or rational professionals tap into their gut instinct and creativity regardless of field.

    I suppose the best way do this is blatantly from my perspective. I am a very visual thinker, and good with my gut instinct, but had been having trouble with open dialogue between my body and myself. I walked into a library, piked a book off a shelf, and took it home. When I opened it, this is what I had in my hands:

    -excellent, comprehensive (though not technical) explanations and groundwork for those new to this form of non-traditional healing
    -way too many personal stories and examples for my taste
    -way too much explanation for understanding visual things
    -certain aspects that seemed like an over complication (too much process for me when it wasn't really that complicated, more on that in a bit)
    -lots of exercises that were explained very well so that I could understand exactly what I was doing (or supposed to be doing), even though I was reading a book with no direct interaction with the writer

    Now, that's entirely biased to my preferences and needs. The fact is, she provides many of the personal examples to better help the reader comprehend what she's talking about. When I had trouble picturing or imagining what she was saying, these were very helpful. I'm not convinced we needed three examples for each point, but that did provide a broader view of the thing. Also, I don't like reading personal examples and usually skip them in books. I have trouble seeing what that person's experience has to do with me. There are people who LOVE hearing how things worked out perfectly for someone else, and are very inspired by that. If you're one of those people, you will probably love her examples, as they are taken from people she knows directly through her student body and profession.

    Also, she provides methods and detailed explanations to the methods that to me seem needless. Again, that's biased. When I see an image, I know what it wants me to think of, I don't have to go through a questioning process. She gives a process of asking questions, searching through key terms, etc. to better understand images. This may be vital to some readers.

    I do think the exercises provided deserve 5 stars. They are written in a way that anyone open to doing them can. They are also varied- if one doesn't click for you, another probably will. If you're open and approach the exercises peacefully, I see no reason any reader can't take something away from the book.

    I do also agree that many of her ideas and information are essentially re-hashed from wonked-out, less than genuine new age people. It may, however, be the other way around. She speaks with a confidence and conviction I can't believe would come from one of the new age posers.

    Essentially, information, 4.5 stars. references, 5 stars (I checked into her claims of doctors who have been inspired by her work and use this method-they are genuine), examples/experiences 4 stars, exercises 5. I give the book an overall 4.5 stars. It's worth mentioning that there seemed to be a lot of non-essential talking, and a lot of blank lines for the reader to write in. I think if you took those out, the book would be a third of it's length.

    The rest of this review is an expansion of my personal experience with the exercises found in the book.

    I have been working with an interesting problem for more than a decade- the opposite sicknesses of Hashimoto's disease and Graves' disease at the same time. These are both thyroid conditions that in their own regard can be managed and lived with. When you have both at the same time, however, they are basically untreatable. They're also entirely disabling, at least in severe cases like mine.

    By the time I had picked up this book, all the doctor's treatments had failed, and, having been faced with only one 'approved' medical treatment left that would leave me bed-ridden at the ripe old age of 18, I had turned to more natural treatments, and was managing my illnesses without drugs at all, using supplements, energy work, and very strong will power. The issues were starting to fluctuate again, and I couldn't figure out why or find a hint on what to do about it.

    After trying a few of the exercises, I did find a way to communicate with the organ itself (go ahead, think I'm crazy, but wait 'til you see how this turns out). As she said would happen, I got an image in my head for an answer (this is not surprising either way as I usually think and communicate in pictures). The picture was that of a head of cut iceberg lettuce. I understood this immediately, as my opinions on pointless veggies is pretty strong. I understood that I was missing a nutrient somewhere, and probably in the vegetable category. I took a look at the nutritional changes in my diet over the past two years, and though I haven't figured out the specific nutrient, the problem has been corrected.

    The other successful story I've had with this is a little more interesting. I also have extensive scar tissue inside my body, due to abuse when I was very small. The doctors had, at this point, given up on any healing whatsoever, and given up on the idea that I could ever have a child. I always knew they were wrong, but it's kinda nice to be able to prove it now.
    I'd heard of using imagery to heal before, but was not in the least bit convinced that imagining 'little elves or whatever' (paraphrased the book's words, I thought they were cute) inside my body healing me would do much. Little elves? Are you serious?
    In this particular case, I had been using some non-traditional healing methods to stop the spreading of the scar tissue, and they'd been working. Now I wanted it to recede, without surgery. I could take the path of herbs, as I'm very comfortable with these and collect my own, but the herbs I would have to use are dangerous (understatement of the century), and I wasn't sure I wanted to take the risk, especially without a "professional" overseeing the whole thing (not awesome enough will power to call 911 passed out cold on the floor).
    So I figured, what the heck? Deadly plants versus surgery that is guaranteed to make the issue worse in the long run versus little imaginary elves. Well, nothing else is working.

    In short, I started imagining little elves helping me out. And the scar tissue has receded by just over 20% over about three and a half months of elf-work. (lol)

    What I'm trying to say is that the exercises are very good, but I wouldn't recommend them as a cure-all for someone looking for serious, concrete medical help or advancement. I do believe that a person essentially thinks their body, and these methods have merit, but I would couple them with other forms of more direct healing as well (maybe herbs, maybe energy work, maybe traditional medicine, what ever works for YOUR body, or even a combination).
