Recent clinical studies show that exercise rather than rest may be the best therapy for someone undergoing cancer treatments. The Healing Power of Movement addresses this significant shift in care recommendations and clearly illustrates fifty specific exercises-from simply sitting up or moving in bed to walking or lifting light weights-for different stages of cancer treatments, and for many different types of cancers. Written in consultation with a leading oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Center in Manhattan and based on practical advice gleaned from the front lines of the author's physical-therapy practice, The Healing Power of Movement will be recommended and empowering reading for all cancer patients, whether they are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, or are recovering from surgery.

The creative process brings readers in touch with these five sacred powers by freeing the body to experience the power of being, expressing the heart to experience the power of loving, emptying the mind to experience the power of seeing, and embodying the spirit to experience the power of healing.

When you hurt, you want answers. What caused the pain, and what can you do to recover? For people struggling with persistent or recurrent pain, however, those answers are difficult or impossible to obtain. Even so, it is possible to live a life with less pain—to heal and be well. In Healing Power of You, Dr. Keith Poorbaugh shares insights from his personal and clinical experience to help explain the cause of musculoskeletal pain. He then offers a rationale based upon recent scientific evidence demonstrating the danger of choosing a medical fix rather than the path toward wellness and healing. Every well human moves to heal, and you can rediscover the true nature of tissue healing to foster natural pain relief from musculoskeletal conditions. Take the opportunity to explore current knowledge on the mystery of healing from pain. Science is always changing, but one thing remains true and constant: the musculoskeletal system is designed to heal. Designed for those suffering from chronic pain, this guide presents a solution-based approach to pain relief that encourages healing and lifestyle changes for improved wellness.

The true nature of our minds is enlightened and peaceful, as the depth of the ocean is calm and clear. But when we mentally grasp and emotionally cling to our wants and worries with all our energy, we lose our own enlightened freedom and healing power, only to gain stress and exhaustion, suffering and overexcitement, like the turbulent waves rolling on the surface of the ocean. Our minds possess the power to heal pain and stress, and to blossom into peace and joy, by loosening the clinging attitudes that Buddhists call "grasping at self." If we apply the mind's healing power, we can heal not only our mental and emotional afflictions, but physical problems also. This book is an invitation to awaken the healing power of mind through inspiring images and sounds, mindful movements, positive perceptions, soothing feelings, trusting confidence, and the realization of openness. The healing principle on which these exercises are based is the universal nature and omnipresent power envisioned in Mahayana Buddhism. Yet for healing, we don't have to be believers in any particular faith. We can heal body and mind simply by being what we truly are, and by allowing our own natural healing qualities to manifest: a peaceful and open mind, a loving and positive attitude, and warm, joyful energy in a state of balance and harmony.
