As trained physicians, focusing solely on evidence-based medicine, we often overlook personal aspects of healing—like intuition, emotional experiences, and the powerful flow of life through our bodies—which can make us ill or aid in healing. In medical school, no one taught me to pay attention to the unique language of my body or those of my patients. This includes understanding how sound, color, touch, environment, and spiritual connections, along with thoughts, beliefs, and emotions, impact physical health.

Fortunately, Ellen Meredith continues where evidence-based medicine leaves off, guiding us through objective aspects of healing with a clever combination of many therapeutic methods that should be part of medical education but often are not. For scientists and skeptics, this book may seem exaggerated. However, for those open to exploring the art and mystery of healing, especially when evidence-based medicine has failed, this book is exactly what the doctor ordered.
