Minding the Body, Mending the Mind

Book Review

This is not a new book, in fact, it is Dr. Borysenko's first book. I have read a number of her books as well as other books on spirituality and the relationship between the mind and the body but I always come back to this one. My copy is dog-earred from use. From teaching how to do breath properly to learning how to calm your mind through meditation as well as other techniques, Joan Borysenko teaches you how to heal yourself physically, mentally and spiritually. A former Harvard medical scientist and psychologist, Borysenko has the credentials to back her up. Her lifelong interest in holistic healing and spirituality and her use of personal stories, all told in a warm and friendly style, aid in the reader's understanding. I really love this book and heartily recommend it.
