Lissa Rankin

"Sacred Medicine is a book of inclusion. It does not prescribe nor preach nor proselytize: it illustrates, informs, and illuminates." --From the foreword by Dr. Gabor Mat , author of When the Body Says No and In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts In 2007, Lissa Rankin left a promising career in medicine to tend to her own health and well-being. Her search to discover why people really get sick and what truly optimizes health outcomes launched a bestselling book, two television specials, and a revolution in the way we look at mind-body medicine. But so many questions remained for this doctor and skeptic. How is it that some people do everything right and stay sick, while others seem to do nothing extraordinary yet fully recover? How does faith healing work--or does it? What's behind the phenomenon of spontaneous remission--and is this something we can influence? Can we make ourselves miracle-prone? Certain that, if she looked hard enough, she would find the answers, Dr. Rankin embarked on a decade-long journey to explore these questions and more. The result is Sacred Medicine, both a seeker's travelogue and a discerning guide to the sometimes-perilous paths available to patients when wellness fads, lifestyle changes, and doctors have failed them. In Sacred Medicine, you'll follow Dr. Rankin around the world to meet healers gifted and flawed, go on pilgrimage to sacred sites, investigate the science of healing, and learn how to stay safe when seeking a healer. You'll receive the wisdom offered by Indigenous cultures for whom healing begins with our sacred connection to Mother Earth, and dive deep into the cutting-edge trauma research that is igniting a medical revolution. Rich with practices and protocols that Dr. Rankin has found particularly effective, Sacred Medicine delivers a thoughtful, grounded exploration of questions around how we heal--and a path of hope for those in need.

Kuidas on võimalik, et mõned inimesed teevad kõik õigesti, aga jäävad ikkagi haigeks, samas kui teised ei tee pealtnäha midagi erilist, aga tervenevad täielikult? Kuidas toimib usu abil tervendamine - või kas see üldse toimib? Mis peitub haiguse spontaanse remissiooni nähtuse taga - ja kas meil on võimalik seda kuidagi mõjutada? Kas me saame end muuta vastuvõtlikumaks imedele? Dr Lissa Rankin oli kindel, et piisavalt põhjaliku otsimisega võib sellistele küsimustele vastused leida, ning alustas kümneaastast teekonda uurimaks neid teemasid ja enamgi veel. Käesolevas põhjalikus teejuhis, mis käsitleb tervendavate imede otsimist olukorras, kus miski muu pole aidanud, järgneb lugeja dr Rankinile üle kogu maailma, et kohtuda nii andekate kui ka ebaausate ravitsejatega. Te lähete koos palverännakutele pühapaikadesse, uurite tervendamise teadust ja õpite, kuidas end ravitseja valimisel kaitsta. Sulle edastatakse põlisrahvaste kultuuride pakutud tarkust, mille alusel algab meie tervenemine meie pühast sidemest Emakese Maaga, ning sa sukeldud sügavale uuenduslike traumauuringute maailma, kus on käivitumas meditsiinirevolutsioon. "Püha Meditsiin" sisaldab rikkalikult praktikaid ja vahendeid, mida dr Rankin on pidanud eriti tõhusaks, ning pakub läbimõeldud ja selgelt kaalutletud käsitlust küsimuste kohta, mis puudutavad meie tervenemist - ja lootusekiirt abivajajatele.

Meidät on saatu uskomaan, että sairastuessamme vain lääkkeet voivat auttaa. Lääkäri Lissa Rankin ajatteli vuosikausia samoin, kunnes hänen oma terveytensä alkoi horjua. Rankin osoittaa teoksessaan, miten ajatukset, tunteet ja uskomukset voivat muuttaa kehon fysiologiaa. Hänen keräämänsä tieteellinen todistusaineisto osoittaa, että läheiset ihmissuhteet, kiitollisuus, meditaatio, seksi ja aito itseilmaisu käynnistävät kehon oman paranemisprosessin. Kirjassa esitellään Rankinin kuusivaiheinen hyvinvointimalli, joka auttaa sinua tunnistamaan, mitkä asiat eri elämänalueillasi kaipaavat kohentamista.

An oncologist's integrative path to treating and living better with or beyond cancer Dr. M. Laura Nasi presents a new way of looking at how we view and treat cancer. With current advances in medicine, we're learning more about the ways different aspects of our lives and health impact and interact with one another--why does one long-term smoker get diagnosed with stage-4 lung cancer while another remains cancer-free? Why does someone exposed to a known carcinogen get sick while someone else is apparently immune? What seemingly unrelated factors end up playing key roles in disease etiology, progression, and prognosis? In this well-researched, inspiring, and easy-to-read guide, Dr. Nasi offers an integrative, whole-person approach to cancer, and explains how it is a systemic disease manifesting a global condition locally. Conventional medicine focuses on attacking malignant cells. Integrative medicine encourages chemo and radiation when necessary, while also focusing on a patient's internal balance to help halt the disease. Nasi draws on the latest research on the PNIE (psycho-neuro-immuno-endocrine) network to help our systems recognize, repair, or eliminate the cancer cells, focusing on nutrition, stress management, exercise, adequate sleep, healthy relationships, and other body/mind/spirit modalities. Dr. Nasi encourages patients to become empowered agents of their own care.

Not many people in the medical world are talking about how being afraid can make us sick--but the truth is that fear, left untreated, becomes a serious risk factor for conditions from heart disease to diabetes to cancer. Now Lissa Rankin, M. D., explains why we need to heal ourselves from the fear that puts our health at risk and robs our lives of joy--and shows us how fear can ultimately cure us by opening our eyes to all that needs healing in our lives. Drawing on peer-reviewed studies and powerful true stories, The Fear Cure presents a breakthrough understanding of fear's effects and charts a path back to wellness and wholeness on every level. We learn: - How a fearful thought translates into physiological changes that predispose us to illness - How to tell true fear (the kind that arises from a genuine threat) from false fear (which triggers stress responses that undermine health) - How to tune in to the voice of courage inside--our "Inner Pilot Light" - How to reshape our relationship to uncertainty so that it's no longer something to dread, but a doorway to new possibilities - What our fears can teach us about who we really are At the intersection of science and spirituality, The Fear Cure identifies the Four Fearful Assumptions that lie at the root of all fears--from the sense that we're alone in the universe to the belief that we can't handle losing what we love--and shifts them into Four Courage-Cultivating Truths that pave our way to not only physical well-being, but profound awakening. Using exercises from a wide range of mind-body practices and spiritual traditions, Dr. Rankin teaches us how to map our own courage-cultivating journey, write a personalized Prescription for Courage, and step into a more authentic life.

We are all, every single one of us, heroes. We are all on what Joseph Campbell calls “a hero’s journey;” we are all on a mission to step into our true nature and fulfill the assignment our souls were sent to Earth to fulfill. Navigating the hero’s journey, Lissa Rankin, MD, argues, is one of the cornerstones of living a meaningful, authentic, healthy life. In clear, engaging prose, Lissa describes her entire spiritual journey for the first time--beginning with what she calls her “perfect storm” of events--and recounts the many transformative experiences that led to a profound awakening of her soul. Through her father’s death, her daughter’s birth, career victories and failures, and an ongoing struggle to identify as both a doctor and a healer, Lissa discovers a powerful self-awareness. As she shares her story, she encourages you to find out where you are on your own journey, offering inspiring guideposts and practices along the way. With compelling lessons on trusting intuition, surrendering to love, and learning to see adversity as an opportunity for soul growth, The Anatomy of a Calling invites you to make a powerful shift in consciousness and reach your highest destiny.
