The importance of lifestyle choices and the mind-body connection have been well established and are accepted by mainstream physicians. Written by respected surgeon and holistic health pioneer, William B. Stewart, MD, Deep Medicine puts this knowledge into practice by showing readers how to make health-creating choices and take the steps that lead to well-being.
Through self-study we can come to know ourselves more deeply, and appreciate the connections to all that is around us. The self-inquiry techniques that are presented enable readers to constructively examine their health priorities, core values, relationships, vision for the future, connection to the planet, and spiritual roots. The process of self-reflection and self-discovery bring readers to the practices which enable sustainable, health-creating change. Over time, self-knowledge strengthens character and fosters the expression of authenticity, contentment, and the alignment of meaning, purpose and actions.
Finding the source of your healing power does not depend on the latest diet book or exercise fad. Rather it is in engaging one's inner realm and mining the wisdom and power within. That is where the will and energy to eliminate "bad habits" and foster constructive behavior resides. The common pathway toward health and healing in Deep Medicine is gaining the knowledge and skills to initiate and sustain desired change in one's life.
