Depression occurs when something blocks the normal healing process following a perceived loss. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 2: Are You Depressed – the Biochemistry of Depression – Here you will learn the signs of depression and the symptoms of depression and the chemical changes that go along with them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 3: How to Overcome Learned Helplessness and Heal Your Depression – The hallmarks of depression are helplessness and hopelessness, feelings that have been learned through your contact with the world; here’s how to unlearn them and give yourself the hope that heals. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 4: Changing Depressive Behavior and Accessing the Power of Now – It is our memories of the past and our expectations of the future that give rise to depression.

As you use the tools of deep relaxation and Selective Awareness, you can take charge of and change the flow of your thoughts. Guiding those thoughts into the present moment – the all-powerful Now – you relieve the systemic stress. This creates an emotional and physiological state that permits the natural chemical processes of your body to metabolize cortisol and other chemicals of depression and stress. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving taken charge of your thoughts by guiding your awareness and coming into the present, you now begin to use the tools of Self-hypnosis to focus on what brings you serenity and to write a new script for your mind. You literally rewire your brain – reprogram it – and refocus your mind on what brings you serenity, potency, and positive expectations of the future. As a treatment for depression, this can work wonders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow it works\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDepression can be mild or severe, ranging from the depressed feeling when your team misses getting into the World Series to the weeks or months of grieving following the end of an important relationship, all the way to a depression that lasts for years and produces thoughts of suicide. Sometimes depressed feelings can come and go, or even be cyclical, alternating with very upbeat periods (bipolar depression symptoms). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the more severe forms of depression (what doctors call Major Depressive Disorder), antidepressant medications or psychotherapy are often required. Whether the depression is severe or in milder cases of depression (dysthymia), you will find the information and processes in the program to be helpful, even crucial. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecent research studies indicate that in all but the most severe depressions, antidepressants were at best only slightly better at providing relief than a placebo. Studies indicate that approaches that affect cognitive behavior (i.e., how you think about things) are quite effective at treating depression – and are superior to medication in many cases. These approaches include CBT, meditation, guided imagery, and affirmations – all of which are used in this program. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD #1 offers you a new perspective on the mechanism of depression, delivered in the form of a Heart to Heart talk. As you listen, you will gain an understanding of the depressive symptoms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ethat result from your being cut off from the nurturance of what has heart and meaning for you – what you might know of as your soul or spirit. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will learn how these symptoms are the result of a kind of “learned helplessness,” based on the over-focus on what was lost. But because the major portion of depression is learned, it can be unlearned. You will see how you can complete the grieving process that is the natural way for your mind, body, and emotions to heal the wound created by the loss. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD #2 is the active ingredient, Software for the Mind, a graduated series of guided imagery experiences (4 in all). Each is designed to build on the previous track. The guided imagery provides you with the tools to rescript your deeper mind, your nervous system, your emotions, and your body. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecommended Applications and Indications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEscape From Depression is designed to be used as depression self-help. For mild cases – dysthymia, cyclothymia, “feeling the blues,” or “in a funk” – many people will find this program, used alone, is effective. For more severe cases of depression it is valuable as an adjunct to therapy. A valuable aid in going through the stages of grief, sadness, bereavement, during major life changes, this program may be useful in grief counseling and for many cases of PTSD. It is also helpful in dealing with work stresses and periods of overwhelm. Many have found it useful in dealing with depression that follows a major illness or surgery. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImportant information and Contraindications \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen treating a potentially serious disease such as depression, it is wise to see a skilled professional. Because depression can diminish your ability to carefully manage yourself and your relationships, be certain to consult a competent health professional and carefully consider his\/her recommendations. If the depression qualifies as “Major Depressive Disorder”, antidepressant medication may be appropriate. In such cases, this program will still be of value, as medications cannot treat the true source of the illness – but be sure to inform your therapist or psychiatrist you are using it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf significant feelings of anxiety arise at any point, return to an earlier phase and practice those exercises a while longer. If feelings of anxiety or distress are strong and persistent, stop listening and contact a therapist or other qualified health professional. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD #2, because it suggests deep relaxation and is usually a closed-eye exercise, should never be used while driving or engaged in any dangerous activity that requires your full attention. (Most people can listen to CD#1 while driving without distraction – take responsibility for your choices.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContraindications and Precautions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although there are really no absolute contraindications for the use of this product, people who are severely psychotic or who do not want to at least try to follow the guidance offered will probably benefit little from listening. Listening is also not a substitute for needed medical care or psychiatric care for serious mental or emotional disturbance. In any undiagnosed potentially serious condition such as a head injury, again, there will not likely be any harm, but it would be wise to delay their use until an adequate diagnosis has been made. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although no such problems have been reported, people with seizures of any kind, or neurological or with severe neurorespiratory disease, should check with their primary care practitioner for suggestions regarding the use of this program. Likewise, if you are undergoing psychotherapy, share your use of these with your therapist, as he\/she may want to integrate this use with your treatment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd, of course, if you are driving or using equipment that requires your full attention, do not close your eyes and do not listen to any program that you find causes you to become drowsy, distracted, or incapable of functioning safely. Programs designated as “Drivetime” should be used with these precautions in mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecommended Use \u0026amp; Detailed Description of Exercises:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 1: Here and Now\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will be guided to a place within, a place of deep relaxation, where your mind is progressively cleared of distractions. Here you find deep feelings of safety as your mind and nervous system are quieted – and you are able to more clearly feel your Self. Setting yourself free from the past, releasing it with each exhalation, you practice a soft breathing meditation release. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNext you will become acutely aware of the life force within, feel it profoundly, then breathe it throughout your entire body, your entire being. You will then leave this inner place and return to a full awareness of the world around you – but only after leaving yourself with a Post-Hypnotic Suggestion to return to this inner balance whenever you wish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemember: You are training your brain, conditioning your mind to think certain thoughts and trigger certain emotions, and as with all trainings, you must practice regularly. Practice 1-3 times daily – more often is better - with Track 1 until you can follow the suggestions easily and have pretty good internal images – visual, auditory, or kinesthetic (physical or emotional sensations). This may take a few days up to a few weeks – continue with the next part when you feel ready.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen you do feel ready, instead of stopping at the end of Track 1, continue on listening to Track 2. They are designed to flow together, so the relaxation you have achieved will help you easily accept the guidance that comes next. Be sure to set aside enough time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter one or a few listenings to Track 1 followed by Track 2, you can, if you wish, dispense with listening to them together and simply alternate Track 1 with Track 2. After a while, you may listen simply to Track 2 – returning to Track 1 occasionally to stay in touch with that deep place within. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 2: Thought Karate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will practice a powerful way to use every breath to become centered. After centering yourself as in Track 1, you will align with your deepest self, the source of your life and being, through positive affirmations. With this solid base, you will learn to breathe unnecessary thoughts and distractions out of your mind (Thought Karate). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBreathing light and love throughout your body, you follow its energy as you go to an even deeper level – a beautiful place of safety and peace. A sensually rich experience of color, and breath, and sound carries you to a special place of safety and freedom within. You may design this place before you listen, or simply allow it to arise spontaneously, whichever way seems right to you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA river of light carries you to a place of health, power, freedom, wholeness, faith, and love. Here you contact your inner living wisdom and develop a powerful personal symbol that represents the essence of the life force. This symbol can now serve as a short cut to return you to an awareness of your center and your potential for freedom from depression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWork with this part (1-3 times daily) until you feel comfortable with it (about 6-10 times on the average). Then you are ready to go on. As before, the first few times you use Track 3 precede it by listening to Track 2. After that you may choose to stop listening to them together and simply alternate Track 2 with Track 3. After a while, you may listen simply to Track 3 – returning to Tracks 2 and 1 occasionally. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 3: Self-Empowerment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContact your inner essence and spirit, a place where you are deeply touched or moved, loved, connected, inspired. Here you will use your symbol to reconnect with that life force – the Love within – and experience the energy, the connection, the realness, the authenticity, the deep importance of your connection. Identifying with that connection, you infuse every cell of your body with this energy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs before, use Track 3 1-3 times daily until you feel comfortable with it, then proceed to the next step, combining Track 3 with Track 4 in sequence several times before beginning to alternate them. After a while, you may listen simply to Track 4 – returning to Tracks 3, 2, and 1 occasionally. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 4: Creating a Positive Future\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will learn to acknowledge your power over feelings and strengthen the belief that you have the ability to create whatever future you wish. Through imagery, you will create, and then empower the future you really desire, experiencing yourself healthy, creative, and joyful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoon you will discover that each track has a different effect on you and how you feel. Your inner feeling is right, and you can trust yourself – ask yourself, “Which track seems like it would be best to listen to today?”, accept the answer that feels right to you, and listen to that track. Continue to use one or the other of these tracks regularly, at least 3 times a day until the symptoms of depression have faded away. Following this it is wise to continue to listen at least once a day until at least a month of freedom from depression symptoms and the signs of depression have passed. After that you may listen occasionally, or continue to use it on a regular basis. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImportant Instructions for using this Program\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther Programs for further Study and Growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere you will hear some additional suggestions that will help you to make the most effective use of Escape from Depression.

Depression occurs when something blocks the normal healing process following a perceived loss. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 2: Are You Depressed – the Biochemistry of Depression – Here you will learn the signs of depression and the symptoms of depression and the chemical changes that go along with them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 3: How to Overcome Learned Helplessness and Heal Your Depression – The hallmarks of depression are helplessness and hopelessness, feelings that have been learned through your contact with the world; here’s how to unlearn them and give yourself the hope that heals. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 4: Changing Depressive Behavior and Accessing the Power of Now – It is our memories of the past and our expectations of the future that give rise to depression.

As you use the tools of deep relaxation and Selective Awareness, you can take charge of and change the flow of your thoughts. Guiding those thoughts into the present moment – the all-powerful Now – you relieve the systemic stress. This creates an emotional and physiological state that permits the natural chemical processes of your body to metabolize cortisol and other chemicals of depression and stress. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving taken charge of your thoughts by guiding your awareness and coming into the present, you now begin to use the tools of Self-hypnosis to focus on what brings you serenity and to write a new script for your mind. You literally rewire your brain – reprogram it – and refocus your mind on what brings you serenity, potency, and positive expectations of the future. As a treatment for depression, this can work wonders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow it works\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDepression can be mild or severe, ranging from the depressed feeling when your team misses getting into the World Series to the weeks or months of grieving following the end of an important relationship, all the way to a depression that lasts for years and produces thoughts of suicide. Sometimes depressed feelings can come and go, or even be cyclical, alternating with very upbeat periods (bipolar depression symptoms). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the more severe forms of depression (what doctors call Major Depressive Disorder), antidepressant medications or psychotherapy are often required. Whether the depression is severe or in milder cases of depression (dysthymia), you will find the information and processes in the program to be helpful, even crucial. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecent research studies indicate that in all but the most severe depressions, antidepressants were at best only slightly better at providing relief than a placebo. Studies indicate that approaches that affect cognitive behavior (i.e., how you think about things) are quite effective at treating depression – and are superior to medication in many cases. These approaches include CBT, meditation, guided imagery, and affirmations – all of which are used in this program. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD #1 offers you a new perspective on the mechanism of depression, delivered in the form of a Heart to Heart talk. As you listen, you will gain an understanding of the depressive symptoms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ethat result from your being cut off from the nurturance of what has heart and meaning for you – what you might know of as your soul or spirit. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will learn how these symptoms are the result of a kind of “learned helplessness,” based on the over-focus on what was lost. But because the major portion of depression is learned, it can be unlearned. You will see how you can complete the grieving process that is the natural way for your mind, body, and emotions to heal the wound created by the loss. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD #2 is the active ingredient, Software for the Mind, a graduated series of guided imagery experiences (4 in all). Each is designed to build on the previous track. The guided imagery provides you with the tools to rescript your deeper mind, your nervous system, your emotions, and your body. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecommended Applications and Indications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEscape From Depression is designed to be used as depression self-help. For mild cases – dysthymia, cyclothymia, “feeling the blues,” or “in a funk” – many people will find this program, used alone, is effective. For more severe cases of depression it is valuable as an adjunct to therapy. A valuable aid in going through the stages of grief, sadness, bereavement, during major life changes, this program may be useful in grief counseling and for many cases of PTSD. It is also helpful in dealing with work stresses and periods of overwhelm. Many have found it useful in dealing with depression that follows a major illness or surgery. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImportant information and Contraindications \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen treating a potentially serious disease such as depression, it is wise to see a skilled professional. Because depression can diminish your ability to carefully manage yourself and your relationships, be certain to consult a competent health professional and carefully consider his\/her recommendations. If the depression qualifies as “Major Depressive Disorder”, antidepressant medication may be appropriate. In such cases, this program will still be of value, as medications cannot treat the true source of the illness – but be sure to inform your therapist or psychiatrist you are using it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf significant feelings of anxiety arise at any point, return to an earlier phase and practice those exercises a while longer. If feelings of anxiety or distress are strong and persistent, stop listening and contact a therapist or other qualified health professional. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD #2, because it suggests deep relaxation and is usually a closed-eye exercise, should never be used while driving or engaged in any dangerous activity that requires your full attention. (Most people can listen to CD#1 while driving without distraction – take responsibility for your choices.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContraindications and Precautions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although there are really no absolute contraindications for the use of this product, people who are severely psychotic or who do not want to at least try to follow the guidance offered will probably benefit little from listening. Listening is also not a substitute for needed medical care or psychiatric care for serious mental or emotional disturbance. In any undiagnosed potentially serious condition such as a head injury, again, there will not likely be any harm, but it would be wise to delay their use until an adequate diagnosis has been made. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although no such problems have been reported, people with seizures of any kind, or neurological or with severe neurorespiratory disease, should check with their primary care practitioner for suggestions regarding the use of this program. Likewise, if you are undergoing psychotherapy, share your use of these with your therapist, as he\/she may want to integrate this use with your treatment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd, of course, if you are driving or using equipment that requires your full attention, do not close your eyes and do not listen to any program that you find causes you to become drowsy, distracted, or incapable of functioning safely. Programs designated as “Drivetime” should be used with these precautions in mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecommended Use \u0026amp; Detailed Description of Exercises:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 1: Here and Now\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will be guided to a place within, a place of deep relaxation, where your mind is progressively cleared of distractions. Here you find deep feelings of safety as your mind and nervous system are quieted – and you are able to more clearly feel your Self. Setting yourself free from the past, releasing it with each exhalation, you practice a soft breathing meditation release. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNext you will become acutely aware of the life force within, feel it profoundly, then breathe it throughout your entire body, your entire being. You will then leave this inner place and return to a full awareness of the world around you – but only after leaving yourself with a Post-Hypnotic Suggestion to return to this inner balance whenever you wish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemember: You are training your brain, conditioning your mind to think certain thoughts and trigger certain emotions, and as with all trainings, you must practice regularly. Practice 1-3 times daily – more often is better - with Track 1 until you can follow the suggestions easily and have pretty good internal images – visual, auditory, or kinesthetic (physical or emotional sensations). This may take a few days up to a few weeks – continue with the next part when you feel ready.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen you do feel ready, instead of stopping at the end of Track 1, continue on listening to Track 2. They are designed to flow together, so the relaxation you have achieved will help you easily accept the guidance that comes next. Be sure to set aside enough time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter one or a few listenings to Track 1 followed by Track 2, you can, if you wish, dispense with listening to them together and simply alternate Track 1 with Track 2. After a while, you may listen simply to Track 2 – returning to Track 1 occasionally to stay in touch with that deep place within. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 2: Thought Karate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will practice a powerful way to use every breath to become centered. After centering yourself as in Track 1, you will align with your deepest self, the source of your life and being, through positive affirmations. With this solid base, you will learn to breathe unnecessary thoughts and distractions out of your mind (Thought Karate). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBreathing light and love throughout your body, you follow its energy as you go to an even deeper level – a beautiful place of safety and peace. A sensually rich experience of color, and breath, and sound carries you to a special place of safety and freedom within. You may design this place before you listen, or simply allow it to arise spontaneously, whichever way seems right to you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA river of light carries you to a place of health, power, freedom, wholeness, faith, and love. Here you contact your inner living wisdom and develop a powerful personal symbol that represents the essence of the life force. This symbol can now serve as a short cut to return you to an awareness of your center and your potential for freedom from depression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWork with this part (1-3 times daily) until you feel comfortable with it (about 6-10 times on the average). Then you are ready to go on. As before, the first few times you use Track 3 precede it by listening to Track 2. After that you may choose to stop listening to them together and simply alternate Track 2 with Track 3. After a while, you may listen simply to Track 3 – returning to Tracks 2 and 1 occasionally. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 3: Self-Empowerment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContact your inner essence and spirit, a place where you are deeply touched or moved, loved, connected, inspired. Here you will use your symbol to reconnect with that life force – the Love within – and experience the energy, the connection, the realness, the authenticity, the deep importance of your connection. Identifying with that connection, you infuse every cell of your body with this energy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs before, use Track 3 1-3 times daily until you feel comfortable with it, then proceed to the next step, combining Track 3 with Track 4 in sequence several times before beginning to alternate them. After a while, you may listen simply to Track 4 – returning to Tracks 3, 2, and 1 occasionally. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 4: Creating a Positive Future\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will learn to acknowledge your power over feelings and strengthen the belief that you have the ability to create whatever future you wish. Through imagery, you will create, and then empower the future you really desire, experiencing yourself healthy, creative, and joyful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoon you will discover that each track has a different effect on you and how you feel. Your inner feeling is right, and you can trust yourself – ask yourself, “Which track seems like it would be best to listen to today?”, accept the answer that feels right to you, and listen to that track. Continue to use one or the other of these tracks regularly, at least 3 times a day until the symptoms of depression have faded away. Following this it is wise to continue to listen at least once a day until at least a month of freedom from depression symptoms and the signs of depression have passed. After that you may listen occasionally, or continue to use it on a regular basis. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImportant Instructions for using this Program\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther Programs for further Study and Growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere you will hear some additional suggestions that will help you to make the most effective use of Escape from Depression.

They are very effective for use as adjuncts to any other cancer treatment you are undergoing, and are compatible with all accepted treatment modalities. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mind–tools presented here are often extremely helpful in combating the side effects that are so common with cancer treatments. Sometimes there are no specific treatments for a given a cancer. In such cases Healing from Cancer can still be used to great benefit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven after the diagnosis of cancer has been made, there is often a period of time that must elapse before specific treatment can be initiated (it may be necessary to wait weeks before surgery can be performed, etc.). Using this program during this time gives the patient emotional support in addition to whatever specific healing they can initiate during this period of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHealing From Cancer is also helpful in relieving the depression, shock, and acute PTSD that often occur immediately after cancer is diagnosed, as it supports a positive outlook and serves to remind patients that we are not powerless against cancer, and that a strong partnership between patient and healthcare system is the most effective strategy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eImportant information and Contraindications \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Miller strongly suggests that, although this program may be used in immediately upon discovery of your illness, you consult a qualified and trusted health professional as soon as possible, as inadequately treated cancer can be harmful to your health, and potentially, in some cases, fatal.\u003cbr\u003eInsert boilerplate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetailed Description of Exercises:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrack 1: The Healing Image 25:39 \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFind a quiet place where you will not be disturbed, turn off the telephone, and allow yourself to sit or lie in a comfortable position. Your goal will be to become as relaxed as possible. As you listen to this track you will find that the soothing voice and gentle music will draw your attention away from external concerns. You will learn to clear your mind of unnecessary thoughts and to systematically relax each part of your body. The relaxation you reach will probably be deeper than what you experience normally when you “relax,” and many people find they become more relaxed than ever before in their lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you are unfamiliar with using your imagination, meditating or otherwise guiding your awareness within, it may take several listenings before you begin to experience the profound levels of peace and serenity towards which you are being guided. Be patient; the more difficult you find it, the more valuable it will be for you to discover how to relax so deeply.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will be guided to what Dr. Miller calls “The Healing State,” Link to Glossary a state of a focused attention during which your imagery will be most effective. In addition, by finding mental images which our most meaningful to you, you will be most able to engage the ability of your brain and nervous system to create the inner conditions best suited to healing, comfort, and the highest level of function.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Miller will suggest that you call upon your inner healer. If you are a religious person, you may find that God, Jesus, or a saint, prophet, or other religious figure can best serve this purpose. On the other hand, you might choose a mythological figure, a cartoon character, a movie superhero, an animal, a color, or even an invisible spirit or energy as your inner healer. The more vivid the image of this healer, the more emotion it taps into within you, and the more you can let yourself believe in it, the more effective your inner healer will be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can that learn more about how mind–body medicine works by visiting Dr. Miller's Learning Center.

This negativity can often impair their ability to continue with the treatments, and even when they continue, their inner resistance may actually inhibit the ability of the treatment to work. As you listen to this track you will learn to make friends with your treatment, to welcome it into your body, and to visualize it bypassing the cells of your body and acting directly upon the cancer cells.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will imagine that, because it is bypassing the cells of your body, that this will block the side effects that might otherwise occur. Interestingly enough, people who do this actually do experience much you are side effects. Furthermore, there is good evidence that the treatments are more effective. There is a high correlation between those people who had a successful outcome of their cancer treatment–even full remission, and those who managed to keep a positive attitude all the way through their treatment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Miller highly recommends that you experience the DVDs presenting the interview with Maggie Creighton (link to promo of the cancer center video) and a number of patients who have used these techniques in their work at the Cancer Support and Education Center. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRunning Time:  57 minutes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Digital Download 978-1-61544-384-0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/279791650\u0026amp;color=ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSupplementary and related programs:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/drmiller.pinnaclecart.com\/heal-your-body\/awakening-the-healer-within-2-cds\/11\" title=\"Awakening The Healer Within CDs\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAWAKENING THE HEALER WITHIN\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Miller’s presentation, originally delivered at the Cancer Support and Education Center, presenting the basic concepts of mind-body medicine.

They are very effective for use as adjuncts to any other cancer treatment you are undergoing, and are compatible with all accepted treatment modalities. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mind–tools presented here are often extremely helpful in combating the side effects that are so common with cancer treatments. Sometimes there are no specific treatments for a given a cancer. In such cases Healing from Cancer can still be used to great benefit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven after the diagnosis of cancer has been made, there is often a period of time that must elapse before specific treatment can be initiated (it may be necessary to wait weeks before surgery can be performed, etc.).

Your goal will be to become as relaxed as possible. As you listen to this track you will find that the soothing voice and gentle music will draw your attention away from external concerns. You will learn to clear your mind of unnecessary thoughts and to systematically relax each part of your body. The relaxation you reach will probably be deeper than what you experience normally when you “relax,” and many people find they become more relaxed than ever before in their lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you are unfamiliar with using your imagination, meditating or otherwise guiding your awareness within, it may take several listenings before you begin to experience the profound levels of peace and serenity towards which you are being guided.

If you are a religious person, you may find that God, Jesus, or a saint, prophet, or other religious figure can best serve this purpose. On the other hand, you might choose a mythological figure, a cartoon character, a movie superhero, an animal, a color, or even an invisible spirit or energy as your inner healer.

This negativity can often impair their ability to continue with the treatments, and even when they continue, their inner resistance may actually inhibit the ability of the treatment to work. As you listen to this track you will learn to make friends with your treatment, to welcome it into your body, and to visualize it bypassing the cells of your body and acting directly upon the cancer cells.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will imagine that, because it is bypassing the cells of your body, that this will block the side effects that might otherwise occur. Interestingly enough, people who do this actually do experience much you are side effects. Furthermore, there is good evidence that the treatments are more effective.

Once identified, visualize the healing process by seeing your white blood cells engulfing bacteria or cancer cells. Imagine healing light streaming into an injured organ, or picture an army of tiny workmen repairing a fractured bone. Your inner healer will be your personal choice and dependent upon your personal beliefs and values.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe image you use in directing the healing process will emerge from the deeper levels of your mind, and depend on your imagination and the condition with which you are dealing. The image can be very realistic, if you wish, and a discussion with your healthcare professional may help you understand the process of your particular illness. On the other hand, the image you use can be very symbolic or even fantastical. Visualizing a vacuum cleaner sucking up devitalized tissue or cancer cells, a healing laser cleansing your system, or a sewing machine to speed up bone healing is perfectly OK, as is a swarm of angels or a religious figure. Images most meaningful to you are the ones that tend to work best.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout 20% of people can't visualize a healing image and instead use one of their other senses to optimize their healing. Hearing restorative music or a healing tone that balances your organs; feeling the magic touch of a fairy or the laying on of healing hands are all part of the healing journey. For best results while overcoming a disease pattern, Track 1 should be experienced one to three times per day (or more, if desired). It may then be used from time to time to sustain health and wellness, or for a welcome stress break when you need it. Many people play it during therapeutic massage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor mild illnesses, emotional upsets, relationship or behavioral imbalances, Track 1 of Healing Journey may be used once or twice a day as long as you are receiving the desired benefits. For moderate to severe illnesses, especially those that physically restrict you - again Track 1 of Healing Journey used three to four times daily is highly recommended.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 2 – Breathing Music: Raphael Sharpe's soothing and calming musical presentation was written for the purpose of increasing the speed and quality of the healing process. Notice that the melodies and harmonies are the same as those accompanying the imagery on Track 1. Thus, listening can help reinforce Dr. Miller's verbal suggestions, while your conscious mind relaxes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany find Track 2 ideal for use during massage, yoga, or as background music during meditation or other activities that help promote healing.

In any undiagnosed potentially serious condition such as a head injury, again, there will not likely be any harm, but it would be wise to delay their use until an adequate diagnosis has been made. Although no such problems have been reported, people with seizures of any kind, or neurological or with severe neurorespiratory disease, should check with their primary care practitioner for suggestions regarding the use of this program. Likewise, if you are undergoing psychotherapy, share your use of these with your therapist, as he\/she may want to integrate this use with your treatment. And, of course, if you are driving or using equipment that requires your full attention, do not close your eyes and do not listen to any program that you find causes you to become drowsy, distracted, or incapable of functioning safely.

It is widely applicable, a general self-healing program from simply easing a headache or muscle tension to speeding recovery from an acute illness – even a common cold or flu. It can be used to reduce acute or chronic anxiety or anger, and has proved of great value in hospital settings to promote healing after surgery, or to help patients face a serious problem such as cardiac disease.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeople who are confronting cancer have reported positive results in enhancing physical comfort, and in resisting the illness itself. It has been used extensively by cancer patients to help bring about remission, to slow down the progress of a disease, and to help endure surgery, chemo, or radiation. (Successful Surgery and Recovery, Optimizing Chemo, and Optimizing Radiation are other programs that may prove valuable in addition \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHealing Journey has also proven to be an excellent adjunct for heart patients and Type-A personalities who need to incorporate relaxed attitudes into their lives. Stress has been shown to be a major risk factor in hypertension, heart attacks, asthma, and other cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses, and the relief of stress is a major byproduct of the use of this program.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven when a person is facing a potentially terminal illness, Dr. Miller's acceptance-based imagery is quite effective where one can heal into death: the acceptance of the dying process is restful and calming and can be understood as a form of healing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDescription of Experiences and Recommended Use:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 1 – The Healing Image: 25:37\u003cbr\u003eAfter deeply relaxing, imagine going inside your body to visualize any injured or diseased parts. Once identified, visualize the healing process by seeing your white blood cells engulfing bacteria or cancer cells. Imagine healing light streaming into an injured organ, or picture an army of tiny workmen repairing a fractured bone. Your inner healer will be your personal choice and dependent upon your personal beliefs and values.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe image you use in directing the healing process will emerge from the deeper levels of your mind, and depend on your imagination and the condition with which you are dealing. The image can be very realistic, if you wish, and a discussion with your healthcare professional may help you understand the process of your particular illness. On the other hand, the image you use can be very symbolic or even fantastical. Visualizing a vacuum cleaner sucking up devitalized tissue or cancer cells, a healing laser cleansing your system, or a sewing machine to speed up bone healing is perfectly OK, as is a swarm of angels or a religious figure. Images most meaningful to you are the ones that tend to work best.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout 20% of people can't visualize a healing image and instead use one of their other senses to optimize their healing. Hearing restorative music or a healing tone that balances your organs; feeling the magic touch of a fairy or the laying on of healing hands are all part of the healing journey. For best results while overcoming a disease pattern, Track 1 should be experienced one to three times per day (or more, if desired). It may then be used from time to time to sustain health and wellness, or for a welcome stress break when you need it. Many people play it during therapeutic massage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor mild illnesses, emotional upsets, relationship or behavioral imbalances, Track 1 of Healing Journey may be used once or twice a day as long as you are receiving the desired benefits. For moderate to severe illnesses, especially those that physically restrict you - again Track 1 of Healing Journey used three to four times daily is highly recommended.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 2 – Breathing Music: Raphael Sharpe's soothing and calming musical presentation was written for the purpose of increasing the speed and quality of the healing process. Notice that the melodies and harmonies are the same as those accompanying the imagery on Track 1. Thus, listening can help reinforce Dr. Miller's verbal suggestions, while your conscious mind relaxes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany find Track 2 ideal for use during massage, yoga, or as background music during meditation or other activities that help promote healing.

Before listening, turn off the phone, close the door, and eliminate, to the best of your ability, anything that might distract you from your inner journey. turn the lights down, Sit back or lie down, relax, and open yourself to receive the beautiful images and dulcet tones Dr. Miller's voice offers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eDr. Miller guides you to relaxation of your physical body. Next, he provides techniques to eliminate distractions and mind chatter – questions, doubts, concerns, comparisons, evaluations and criticisms. These are all stress producing and toxic to deep relaxation and to the proper healing response.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eYou are next guided to a place of great calm and comfort, a very safe place–your special place. Here you will make contact with your inner healer, the wise Self deep within. Finally, Dr. Miller will restore you to full wakefulness, but you will return relaxed and energized by this experience. You will also probably find that this relaxation and energization stays with you throughout the rest of the day and night, especially if you listen frequently. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eDr. Miller suggests that you listen to this Track 1 at least once or twice a day, three times if you have time. As soon as you feel fairly competent at relaxing yourself while listening, it's time to go on to Track 2. For some people this will be after only a day or 2, whereas others may take as much as a week before they learn to let go of their stress and tension. Even after you begin to listen to tracks 2 and 3, you will probably want to come back to this track on a fairly regular basis, as it is most soothing and relaxing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 2:\u003cbr\u003eBegin listening to Track 2 after you have become familiar with entering the Healing State in Track 1. At first, or any time you are particularly anxious or stressed, you may listen to Track 1, then keep listening as Track 2 begins. Soon you will be able to become relaxed enough simply listening to Track 2 alone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eAs you listen, you will learn additional techniques to deepen your level of relaxation, to more completely clear your mind of distractions, and to focus your attention where you want it to be focused. You will then be guided to go deep within your body, and to visualize the cancer and your immune system. You will visualize the cells of your immune system drawing on your positive emotions, becoming energized and thorough at cleansing your body of unwanted invaders. Do not worry whether on not what you see looks like something out of a textbook; however you visualize the cells of your cancer cells and your immune system is just fine. The video program Immunoimagery offers some useful suggestion on creating your images.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou may see your cancer cells a flock of gnats, a bunch of thorns, outlaws wearing black hats, a group of terrorists, etc. Your immune system might be visualized as a battalion of teenagers with flyswatters, a team of doctors with tweezers to pull out the forms, good guys riding on horses wearing white hats, a group of Navy SEALs, etc. The more powerfully an image evokes your emotions, the better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePractice with the imagery on this track about 3 times a day, alternating with Track 1 from time to time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 3:\u003cbr\u003eAfter a few days of working with track 2, you should be ready to begin to introduce the idea of chemotherapy into your imagery. Although the thought of chemotherapy might have been frightening to you at first, after a week or two of listening to Tracks 1 and 2 you will have learned to relax deeply and make friends with your body. Now you are simply welcoming the notion of having help. After all, that's what chemotherapy is, it is help to weaken the cancer cells so that your immune system can clean them up entirely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust as you want to create the most emotionally evocative imagery for your immune system and for the cancer cells, you want to envision the chemotherapy as a powerful aid, one that your body can direct specifically towards your cancer cells and away from the normal cells of your body. You will visualize the cells of your body being protected as if by a force field. Imagine, therefore, that there are no side effects to the medication, or that they are minor and do not distract you from your primary goal of staying positive and supporting your healing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany people listen to this track while they are at the doctor's office or at the hospital receiving their chemotherapy, imagining that the fluid going into their arm is being sent specifically to those places where you want to eliminate the cancer cells. Of course your chemotherapy works mightily while you are receiving it into your body, but it also works for many days afterwards. So continue listening between your chemotherapy treatments – although you may want to listen only once or twice a day, interspersing your listening to tracks 1 and 2.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is no hard and fast rule that works for everyone as to exactly which tracks should be listened to and how often. Listen to yourself, there is great wisdom within. Just as you know how to tell when it's time to drink some water or eat some food, as a result of the experience of deep relaxation you have learned listening to this program, you will get clear messages from within has to which tracks to listen to and how often\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSupplementary and related programs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAWAKENING THE HEALER WITHIN\u003cbr\u003eDr. Miller’s presentation, originally delivered at the Cancer Support and Education Center, presents his basic concepts of mind-body medicine.

It can assist you in overcoming anxiety and panic attacks, as well as provide ongoing anxiety relief if you have chronic anxiety. And it can help you be able to use the imagery in this program more effectively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccepting Change And Moving On: On Loss And Letting Go\u003cbr\u003eThis program helps you through unexpected changes that you may encounter as you take on the management of fighting cancer: Relationships change, priorities change, perhaps bodily functions will change.

Before listening, turn off the phone, close the door, and eliminate, to the best of your ability, anything that might distract you from your inner journey. turn the lights down, Sit back or lie down, relax, and open yourself to receive the beautiful images and dulcet tones Dr. Miller's voice offers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eDr. Miller guides you to relaxation of your physical body. Next, he provides techniques to eliminate distractions and mind chatter – questions, doubts, concerns, comparisons, evaluations and criticisms. These are all stress producing and toxic to deep relaxation and to the proper healing response.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eYou are next guided to a place of great calm and comfort, a very safe place–your special place. Here you will make contact with your inner healer, the wise Self deep within. Finally, Dr. Miller will restore you to full wakefulness, but you will return relaxed and energized by this experience. You will also probably find that this relaxation and energization stays with you throughout the rest of the day and night, especially if you listen frequently. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eDr. Miller suggests that you listen to this Track 1 at least once or twice a day, three times if you have time. As soon as you feel fairly competent at relaxing yourself while listening, it's time to go on to Track 2. For some people this will be after only a day or 2, whereas others may take as much as a week before they learn to let go of their stress and tension. Even after you begin to listen to tracks 2 and 3, you will probably want to come back to this track on a fairly regular basis, as it is most soothing and relaxing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 2:\u003cbr\u003eBegin listening to Track 2 after you have become familiar with entering the Healing State in Track 1. At first, or any time you are particularly anxious or stressed, you may listen to Track 1, then keep listening as Track 2 begins. Soon you will be able to become relaxed enough simply listening to Track 2 alone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eAs you listen, you will learn additional techniques to deepen your level of relaxation, to more completely clear your mind of distractions, and to focus your attention where you want it to be focused. You will then be guided to go deep within your body, and to visualize the cancer and your immune system. You will visualize the cells of your immune system drawing on your positive emotions, becoming energized and thorough at cleansing your body of unwanted invaders. Do not worry whether on not what you see looks like something out of a textbook; however you visualize the cells of your cancer cells and your immune system is just fine. The video program Immunoimagery offers some useful suggestion on creating your images.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou may see your cancer cells a flock of gnats, a bunch of thorns, outlaws wearing black hats, a group of terrorists, etc. Your immune system might be visualized as a battalion of teenagers with flyswatters, a team of doctors with tweezers to pull out the forms, good guys riding on horses wearing white hats, a group of Navy SEALs, etc. The more powerfully an image evokes your emotions, the better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePractice with the imagery on this track about 3 times a day, alternating with Track 1 from time to time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 3:\u003cbr\u003eAfter a few days of working with track 2, you should be ready to begin to introduce the idea of chemotherapy into your imagery. Although the thought of chemotherapy might have been frightening to you at first, after a week or two of listening to Tracks 1 and 2 you will have learned to relax deeply and make friends with your body. Now you are simply welcoming the notion of having help. After all, that's what chemotherapy is, it is help to weaken the cancer cells so that your immune system can clean them up entirely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust as you want to create the most emotionally evocative imagery for your immune system and for the cancer cells, you want to envision the chemotherapy as a powerful aid, one that your body can direct specifically towards your cancer cells and away from the normal cells of your body. You will visualize the cells of your body being protected as if by a force field. Imagine, therefore, that there are no side effects to the medication, or that they are minor and do not distract you from your primary goal of staying positive and supporting your healing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany people listen to this track while they are at the doctor's office or at the hospital receiving their chemotherapy, imagining that the fluid going into their arm is being sent specifically to those places where you want to eliminate the cancer cells. Of course your chemotherapy works mightily while you are receiving it into your body, but it also works for many days afterwards. So continue listening between your chemotherapy treatments – although you may want to listen only once or twice a day, interspersing your listening to tracks 1 and 2.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is no hard and fast rule that works for everyone as to exactly which tracks should be listened to and how often. Listen to yourself, there is great wisdom within. Just as you know how to tell when it's time to drink some water or eat some food, as a result of the experience of deep relaxation you have learned listening to this program, you will get clear messages from within has to which tracks to listen to and how often\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSupplementary and related programs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAWAKENING THE HEALER WITHIN\u003cbr\u003eDr. Miller’s presentation, originally delivered at the Cancer Support and Education Center, presents his basic concepts of mind-body medicine. These tools provide an excellent way to learn about how your mind and your body interrelate, and how, by choosing your thoughts and mental images wisely, you can awaken your body's innate potential for healing. You will also learn more about how to use deep relaxation and meditation in your healing, and enjoy several experiences of using these mind–tools.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImmunoimagery (DVD)\u003cbr\u003eHealing from cancer involves strengthening your immune system. The goal of this program is to help develop and use the communication linkage between your conscious mind and your immune cells, which act like \"circulating neurons\" in the body. Train your mental images with award-winning time-lapse micro cinematography, animated cartoon characters, and life like drawings of effective immune cells. Includes a basic course in psychoneuroimmunology that is practical, convincing, and easy to understand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbolish Anxiety \u003cbr\u003eSometimes dealing with the challenges of a diagnosis of cancer can produce enormous emotional trauma. This can make it difficult for the mind to focus within in silence. This program can help clear that up by helping you to understand and deal with the symptoms and the causes of Anxiety and Panic. It can assist you in overcoming anxiety and panic attacks, as well as provide ongoing anxiety relief if you have chronic anxiety. And it can help you be able to use the imagery in this program more effectively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccepting Change And Moving On: On Loss And Letting Go\u003cbr\u003eThis program helps you through unexpected changes that you may encounter as you take on the management of fighting cancer: Relationships change, priorities change, perhaps bodily functions will change. These changes will require an inner adjustment and this program through guided imagery and self-hypnotic mind-tools will help you through to new patterns of living.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeep Healing – The Essence of Mind Body Medicine (Book)\u003cbr\u003eDr. Miller’s classic text is of great value in understanding how his techniques work and why.

Easing Into Sleep uses deep relaxation and meditative techniques to help you learn to release tension and be available to sleep. Very useful for caregivers as well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEscape From Depression\u003cbr\u003eWhen the pressures and stresses become too great, some people find that the mind will take refuge in the state we call depression. This is a retreat from the world, and may be accompanied by lethargy, sadness, fatigue, lack of motivation, helplessness, or hopelessness. Use this program to bounce back, get back in the game, and focus on the all-important job of healing yourself\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeal Your Body Suite\u003cbr\u003eThis collection offers a number of programs to help you learn more about how to support the healing of your body through the proper use of your mind.

In other words, your attitude, how you think, the images in your mind, and how you deal with the stress of life can either speed up or slow down the healing process.

Still, in our culture, we have learned to imagine the mind and body as being somehow “separate.” As a result of this, we have not been taught the skills and perspectives that could enable us to use our minds to come into harmony with our bodies and our emotions, and use them as a team  to produce health and wellness.Once understood and used, this mind-body harmony allows you to take charge! \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 1st step is to quiet the mind and relax the body.

Likewise, if you imagine yourself or the cells of your body being overwhelmed by an illness, your body will tend to respond by surrendering.  On the other hand, if you envision that your white cells are strong and powerful, this omnipotence seems to encourage a vigorous and aggressive healing response that can, in many cases, eliminate cancer cells from your body.

Listening is also not a substitute for needed medical care or psychiatric care for serious mental or emotional disturbance. In any undiagnosed potentially serious condition such as a head injury, again, there will not likely be any harm, but it would be wise to delay their use until an adequate diagnosis has been made. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although no such problems have been reported, people with seizures of any kind, or neurological or with severe neurorespiratory disease, should check with their primary care practitioner for suggestions regarding the use of this program.

Before listening, turn off the phone, close the door, and eliminate, to the best of your ability, anything that might distract you from your inner journey. turn the lights down, Sit back or lie down, relax, and open yourself to receive the beautiful images and dulcet tones Dr. Miller's voice offers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Miller guides you to relaxation of your physical body.

You will also probably find that this relaxation and energization stays with you throughout the rest of the day and night, especially if you listen frequently. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Miller suggests that you listen to this Track 1 at least once or twice a day, three times if you have time. As soon as you feel fairly competent at relaxing yourself while listening, it's time to go on to Track 2. For some people this will be after only a day or 2, whereas others may take as much as a week before they learn to let go of their stress and tension. Even after you begin to listen to tracks 2 and 3, you will probably want to come back to this track on a fairly regular basis, as it is most soothing and relaxing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 2 \u003cbr\u003eBegin listening to Track 2 after you have become familiar with entering the Healing State in Track 1. At first, or any time you are particularly anxious or stressed, you may listen to Track 1, then keep listening as Track 2 begins. Soon you will be able to become relaxed enough simply listening to Track 2 alone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs you listen, you will learn additional techniques to deepen your level of relaxation, to more completely clear your mind of distractions, and to focus your attention where you want it to be focused. You will then be guided to go deep within your body, and to visualize the cancer and your immune system.

In other words, your attitude, how you think, the images in your mind, and how you deal with the stress of life can either speed up or slow down the healing process.

Still, in our culture, we have learned to imagine the mind and body as being somehow “separate.” As a result of this, we have not been taught the skills and perspectives that could enable us to use our minds to come into harmony with our bodies and our emotions, and use them as a team  to produce health and wellness.Once understood and used, this mind-body harmony allows you to take charge! \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 1st step is to quiet the mind and relax the body. For this, Dr. Miller  teaches  several meditative techniques that have been used for thousands of years. Among them, prayer and meditation have long been utilized to focus the mind away from external distractions, relieve stress, and come into the present moment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe kinds of thoughts you think, their overall focus, and their flow affect the mental images that are formed in your mind. Just as the many words in a paragraph all come together to create the meaning of the paragraph, the thoughts flowing through your mind all come together to create the image that is formed in your mind. If you spend 5 min. of thinking about all of the unpleasant, anxiety–inducing, and resentful thoughts you can come up with, you will probably find your mood sags.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSimilarly, as you listen to Dr. Miller's soothing guidance, you will entertain a series of pleasant, positive, enjoyable thoughts. This will, in turn, induce a pleasant, positive and enjoyable mental image. The qualities of this image will have an effect upon your emotions, and you will find that they are listed. Such positive emotions as this are generally effective in supporting the healing response. The images you begin to create in your mind are now positive and enjoyable and will effect healing properties within your body.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you imagine you are sucking a lemon, the ordinarily involuntary response of salivation occurs. If you imagine you are standing at the edge of a high roof, your heart rate and blood pressure  go up, even though these too are “involuntary” responses. Likewise, if you imagine yourself or the cells of your body being overwhelmed by an illness, your body will tend to respond by surrendering.  On the other hand, if you envision that your white cells are strong and powerful, this omnipotence seems to encourage a vigorous and aggressive healing response that can, in many cases, eliminate cancer cells from your body. This program, especially when used with the supplementary programs listed below, can enable you to learn the potent tools that so many cancer patients have found to be effective for them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRadiation, when used in the treatment of cancer or other serious medical illnesses, can have side effects. The kind of side effects and their severity are different for different types of radiation. Similarly, different patients react differently to the same treatment. Your attitude about your treatment can make a difference in your body’s response. Optimizing Radiation will teach you ways to think about your treatment, and ways to visualize its activities in your body that support your being one of those patients who can tolerate a large enough dose of radiation to completely wipe out your cancer cells, rather than merely to weaken them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRemember, no radiation can heal you; radiation can only support your internal healing response and help weaken the cancer cells.

Listening is also not a substitute for needed medical care or psychiatric care for serious mental or emotional disturbance. In any undiagnosed potentially serious condition such as a head injury, again, there will not likely be any harm, but it would be wise to delay their use until an adequate diagnosis has been made. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although no such problems have been reported, people with seizures of any kind, or neurological or with severe neurorespiratory disease, should check with their primary care practitioner for suggestions regarding the use of this program. Likewise, if you are undergoing psychotherapy, share your use of these with your therapist, as he\/she may want to integrate this use with your treatment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd, of course, if you are driving or using equipment that requires your full attention, do not close your eyes and do not listen to any program that you find causes you to become drowsy, distracted, or incapable of functioning safely. Programs designated as “Drivetime” should be used with these precautions in mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetailed Description Of Exercises:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 1 \u003cbr\u003eBegin by familiarizing yourself with the process as introduced on this track. Before listening, turn off the phone, close the door, and eliminate, to the best of your ability, anything that might distract you from your inner journey. turn the lights down, Sit back or lie down, relax, and open yourself to receive the beautiful images and dulcet tones Dr. Miller's voice offers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Miller guides you to relaxation of your physical body. Next, he provides techniques to eliminate distractions and mind chatter – questions, doubts, concerns, comparisons, evaluations and criticisms. These are all stress producing and toxic to deep relaxation and to the proper healing response.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou are next guided to a place of great calm and comfort, a very safe place–your special place. Here you will make contact with your inner healer, the wise Self deep within. Finally, Dr. Miller will restore you to full wakefulness, but you will return relaxed and energized by this experience. You will also probably find that this relaxation and energization stays with you throughout the rest of the day and night, especially if you listen frequently. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Miller suggests that you listen to this Track 1 at least once or twice a day, three times if you have time. As soon as you feel fairly competent at relaxing yourself while listening, it's time to go on to Track 2. For some people this will be after only a day or 2, whereas others may take as much as a week before they learn to let go of their stress and tension. Even after you begin to listen to tracks 2 and 3, you will probably want to come back to this track on a fairly regular basis, as it is most soothing and relaxing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 2 \u003cbr\u003eBegin listening to Track 2 after you have become familiar with entering the Healing State in Track 1. At first, or any time you are particularly anxious or stressed, you may listen to Track 1, then keep listening as Track 2 begins. Soon you will be able to become relaxed enough simply listening to Track 2 alone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs you listen, you will learn additional techniques to deepen your level of relaxation, to more completely clear your mind of distractions, and to focus your attention where you want it to be focused. You will then be guided to go deep within your body, and to visualize the cancer and your immune system. You will visualize the cells of your immune system drawing on your positive emotions, becoming energized and thorough at cleansing your body of unwanted invaders. Do not worry whether on not what you see looks like something out of a textbook; however you visualize the cells of your cancer cells and your immune system is just fine. The video program Immunoimagery offers some useful suggestion on creating your images.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou may see your cancer cells a flock of gnats, a bunch of thorns, outlaws wearing black hats, a group of terrorists, etc. Your immune system might be visualized as a battalion of teenagers with flyswatters, a team of doctors with tweezers to pull out the forms, good guys riding on horses wearing white hats, a group of Navy SEALs, etc. The more powerfully an image evokes your emotions, the better.\u003cbr\u003ePractice with the imagery on this track about 3 times a day, alternating with Track 1 from time to time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 3\u003cbr\u003eAfter a few days of working with track 2, you should be ready to begin to introduce the idea of healing radiation into your imagery. Although the thought of radiation might have been frightening to you at first, after a week or two of listening to Tracks 1 and 2 you will have learned to relax deeply and make friends with your body. Now you are simply welcoming the notion of having help. After all, that's what radiation is, it is help to weaken the cancer cells so that your immune system can clean them up entirely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust as you want to create the most emotionally evocative imagery for your immune system and for the cancer cells, you want to envision the radiation as a powerful aid, one that your body can direct specifically towards your cancer cells and away from the normal cells of your body. You will visualize the cells of your body being protected as if by a force field. Imagine, therefore, that there are no side effects to the radiation, or that they are minor and do not distract you from your primary goal of staying positive and supporting your healing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf course your radiation works mightily while you are receiving it into your body, but it also works for many days afterwards.
