Dr. Edward Taub's Seven Steps to Self Healing
An interactive programme that encourages readers to take control of their own health destiny - first, by providing the tools for self-analysis; then by presenting a personal action plan for life. Questionnaires, exercises and explanations in Part One show individuals how to evaluate the wellness of their mind, body and spirit, and how to interpret from this the degree of balance in their energy systems. Part Two provides an action plan designed as a pyramid covering diet, exercise and yoga, relaxation and meditation, de-addiction, self-estemm, forgiveness and love. With a chaper for each topic, the author sets out the Einstein Energy Diet - a moderate eating plan that gives rather than depletes enery; and exercise programmes that energize the body, mind and spirit. In the final three chapters on self-esteem, forgiveness and love, Dr Taub suggests tasks, exercises and visualizations to help readers explore and understand their anxieties and fears, and so come to recognize their own strength. The cassettes contain eight directed meditations.
