Once you understand how the brain and mind literally “talk” to the rest of the body, you next need to grasp how transformation works in just about any system and endeavor. While this convenient, short book conveniently dips into the world of philosophy, it does so in a practical way that the listener can understand and apply when it comes to mind/body healing. This is fourth book in this series.

The Innovations in Mind/Body Therapies series is a collection of 10 short books that review latest thinking and research findings in integrative medicine, which is contrary to the bottom-up dogma that has been part of main-stream medicine for over a century.

The focus of this book is on what and how the body - down to the subcellular level - reacts to its environment and how the mind can be intentionally used to affect the health through self-talk, imagery, meditation, and hypnotherapy. The ideas discussed are based upon thousands of research studies conducted by major US and international medical schools and research facilities.

The series includes the following books:

• The Mind/Body Connection
• The New Biology
• The Neurology of Mind/Body Health
• Transformation Revisited
• The Immune System Primer
• Using Imagery to Heal
• A Quick Pain Management Primer
• Healing the Body Basics
• The Mind, Surgery, and Recovery
• Calming Your Gut

This series is by Tim Brunson, who holds both Doctor of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Hypnotherapy degrees, has practiced hypnotherapy for 29 years with clients and patients referred to him by medical and mental health practitioners, has trained clinicians internationally, and has almost 3,000 hours of training much of which was medical and mental health related. Many of his courses are already available through Amazon in either short or longer version books.

The basis of this series is much more than clinical experience and training. Dr. Brunson has used these concepts for his personal health and to vastly improve is own healthcare experiences. This includes surgery and recovery to include addressing multiple skin cancer tumors and outpatient surgeries during which he was fully aware and underwent the procedures without sedation.
