This convenient, short audiobook goes beyond merely addressing how the brain/mind communicate with the body to enhance health. This audiobook introduces you to the concept of how the mind can specifically direct somatic healing. Yes, healing body tissue through conscious thought. These ideas are not far-fetched. Rather they come from a series of studies at major medical universities. This is the eighth audiobook in this series.

The Innovations in Mind/Body Therapies series is a collection of ten short audiobooks 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 is on what how the body down to the sub-cellular 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 audiobooks:

1. The Mind/Body Connection
2. The New Biology
3. The Neurology of Mind/Body Health
4. Transformation Revisited
5. The Immune System Primer
6. Using Imagery to Heal
7. A Quick Pain Management Primer
8. Healing the Body Basics
9. The Mind, Surgery, and Recovery
10. Calming Your Gut

This series is by Tim Brunson, who holds both Doctor of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Doctor of Philosophy 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 almost 3,000 hours of training much of which was medical and mental health related.

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.
