From Library Journal
Psychoanalyst Epstein became intrigued with the curative powers of mental imagery through the influence of Mme. Colette Aboukler-Muscat while in Jerusalem in 1974. Having mastered the techniques of "waking dream therapy," which postulates the unity of mind and body, he espouses visual imagery, "the thinking used for making contact with our inner subjective reality" for curing both physical and emotional problems. Much of this book contains specific instructions for evoking the appropriate imagery to cure afflictions ranging from acne to warts, and including cancer, hemorrhoids, and scoliosis. A separate chapter focuses on imagery for promoting good health. The book includes pointers for developing successful imaging techniques and will appeal to those readers interested in alternative medical practices.

Customer Reviews

the best book on using visualizations for health
I picked up this book recently at the bookstore. I must say that this is the best book written on using visualizations to heal yourself and can be used to heal others. The text is well written with drawings to make everything clear. The author gives exercises one can use to rid oneself of disease and maintain health. There are testimonials and documented cases of using visualization to cure illness and maintain health. I highly recommend this book.

Wonderful resource
I am so glad to have found this book. I have used it many times for myself and others. Simple to read, easy to understand and yet comprehensive. Many of the imagery exercises are indexed much like a cookbook, so it is easy to look up what you need quickly. The book is also a great guide for those who want to create original exercises.
I have read many books on imagery and find this one to be superior.

Very good healing book
What I liked about this book is the very specific healing imagery given for many many different physical and mental ailments. The author also says that nothing is srt in stone, and if something comes from inside you to do, go with it. Reading so many ready made images gives the reader ideas and/or spcific exercises. I am so glad to have this book!
