Product Description
New York Times best-selling author Caroline Myss draws from her years as a medical intuitive to show that healing is not only physical; it is also a mystical phenomenon that transcends reason.
Inspired by ordinary people who overcame a wide array of physical and psychological ailments—from rheumatoid arthritis to cancer—Caroline dove into the works of the great mystics to gain a deeper understanding of healing’s spiritual underpinnings. Based on these studies, she demonstrates how conventional and holistic medicine often fall short in times of need. Both systems rely upon a logical approach to curing illness when there is nothing reasonable about the emotional, psychological, or spiritual influences behind any ailment.
Integral to this mystical healing approach is the engagement of the soul, which we experience through exploring our seven shadow passions, building an empowered inner self around our seven inherent graces, and learning how to work with the mystical laws that govern it. This knowledge holds the key to understanding what it means to defy gravity and break through the boundaries of ordinary thought. You can heal any illness. You can channel grace. And you can learn to live fearlessly.

Caroline Remains a MYSS-tical Force of Grace
Folks looking to connect with their soul who need a qualified guide to lead them need look no further than DEFY GRAVITY, Caroline Myss' new book. This is the most focused tome I've ever read on personal and spiritual transformation, surpassed only by Myss' previous works-ENTERING THE CASTLE, ANATOMY OF THE SPIRIT and SACRED CONTRACTS. Myss is my all-time favorite teacher--one workshop with her gives you all the lessons you need to make radical shifts toward becoming more conscious. I've read all her books and have practically every word she's ever recorded in my private collection and I was fortuante enough to be part of her CASTLE program at CMED, so I speak from the stance of complete awareness when I say that this is Myss' most clear and succinct prose yet. Every page is an invocation to connect to the soul, every sentence she writes will land in your heart. The clarity in her words is simply astounding. I saw her present this material at Kripalu last spring and Myss is certainly on a mission to help people connnect to the Divine and she's pulled out all the stops! We are all very fortunate to have her in our midst--she is indeed a true mystic and one of the few genuine teachers who recognizes her greatness, but is also humble enough to to recognize that she is, indeed, just as human as the rest of us. DEFY GRAVITY is one of the best books of 2009 and, quite honestly, one of the best books ever!
Myss Delivers Once Again!
Another outstanding work by Caroline Myss! If you are a "mystic out of a monastery" with the desire to serve God in both visible and invisible ways, then this is the book for you, added to the shelf with her other great works: Sacred Contracts, Invisible Acts of Power, and Entering the Castle. A must read for any spiritual sojourner intent on transforming our Earth with grace and divine power. Caroline, with her practical, "no nonsense" approach to spiritual service, takes typically esoteric stuff and grounds it for the ordinary person to apply to their day-to-day life.
A Radical Path to Healing through Practical Mysticism
Caroline Myss has an established track record of identifying "what works and what doesn't" when it comes to the mystery of healing. She now challenges the cherished belief that healing can be produced by the mind alone. And while the technologies of visualization and affirmation play a respectable role in healing, these mind-based methods have failed to restore health to many dedicated adherents.
In DEFY GRAVITY, Caroline envisions healing as ultimately a mystical experience ... transgressing the bounds of reason and its rudimentary techniques, venturing into the intriguing realm of the seven dark passions and the seven graces.
Indulging in the "dark passions" of pride, avarice, luxury, wrath, gluttony, envy, and sloth sabotages opportunities to heal. Profound healing, however, is advanced by engaging the transformational power of the seven graces: reverence, piety, understanding, fortitude, counsel, knowledge, and wisdom.
The truth that every thought and action is motivated by either a dark passion or a grace reveals that we're constantly making choices, either consciously or unconsciously. But real healing is powered by conscious choice, whether it's healing of the body, mind, or soul.
An illuminating interpretation of mystical laws and recommended wisdom practices for building a healthy life complete this extraordinary book from a brilliant and innovative spiritual teacher.
