Industry Reviews
Myss is a medical intuitive, a person who "sees" illnesses in the body by intuitive means. Here she writes about healing, the various attempts people make to do it, and why they get "stuck." A global thinker, Myss looks at the entire civilization and at "astrological ages" when discussing healing. She also explains the influence of chakras and astrological ages on healing. At the heart of the book is Myss's challenge to five myths that stand in the way of healing: My life is defined by my wound (perhaps the most original concept here); being healthy means being alone; feeling pain means being destroyed; all illness is the result of negativity; and true change is impossible. Myss believes that giving up these myths leads one closer to healing. Many will think her concepts too far out to be of use; others will see her as visionary. The latter will be looking for this book wherever New Age titles circulate well. Barbara O'Hara, Free Lib. of Philadelphia

There is no franker, more direct writer on alternative healing than Myss. Many other contemporary writers imply that healing is an option open to all and assiduously avoid anthing that seems like victim-blaming. Myss does neither. She directly confronts the question of whether all can heal, answering with a yes qualified by genuine modesty in the face of the universe's mysteries. She doesn't shrink from suggesting that some of those in pain and distress actually make their own situations more difficult. . . . Hardheaded and hard-hitting, Myss' new book will delight some, infuriate others, and delight and infuriate still others.
