Here are some resources I have listed in my book, Overcoming A Mysterious Condition. These are the main ones I have come to know in my life and healing. There are many others which are most likely helpful. I may add to this list from time to time as I remember or discover other places that help in the mind body healing connection.
CD’s
A couple of the CD’s I mentioned as book resources include my companion CD of guided meditations relating to specific sections of the book. Another one is the Songs For The Inner Child and The Fear Poem, both of which are mentioned in Overcoming A Mysterious Condition.
