Excerpt from Health and the Inner Life: An Analytical and Historical Study of Spiritual Healing Theories, With an Account of the Life and Teachings of P. P. Quimby
A simple illustration will show the difference be tween the man who is at home in his mental world and the one who is without inner resources. Let it be a typical case of the approach of sudden illness, or simply the presence of a slightly painful sensa tion with which the mind unwittingly associates the name of a dreaded disease, with all its terrors. The man who has no staying power, no knowledge of his inner self, is swept forward by the consciousness of sensation, a description of which he communi cates to a physician, who in turn is compelled to judge the case from the outside. By skilful ques tioning, many doctors are indeed able to work their way, as it were, well into the interior of a patient's life. Yet all this is relatively external. Even in cases of so-called mental disease the physician very naturally judges the mental states by their physio logical conditions. Important as this judgment may be, there is still another story to be told.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating relationship between our inner mental lives and our physical well-being, exploring the idea that the mind holds significant power over the body. The author challenges traditional materialistic views, arguing that consciousness is not merely a product of matter but a fundamental aspect of human experience. Drawing upon historical examples of healing practices and beliefs from various cultures and time periods, the author demonstrates how the concept of mind-body connection is not new but has roots in ancient and indigenous traditions. The book goes on to explore the work of Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, a 19th-century pioneer in the field of mental healing, who developed a unique approach to understanding and treating illness through the power of the mind. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the potential of the human mind to influence health and well-being, inviting readers to consider the profound impact of their thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes on their physical bodies. By understanding the intricate connections between our inner and outer worlds, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery and unlock the potential for healing and transformation.
