Bernie S. Siegel – författare

""I didn''t die because you said I didn''t have to.""

For years Dr. Bernie Siegel has been caring for seriously ill patients and their families. On this recording Dr. Siegel discusses the traits that his exceptional and successful clients have used to heal themselves and their lives.

In recounting these exceptional experiences in healing, Dr. Siegelshares his great belief in the power that hope can give patients and stresses the importance of medical caregivers and family sharing in the civilization of hope. Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he prefers to be called, also encourages people to participate actively in their treatment and cure as many of his exceptional patients have done. An interest in healing, he explains, is an interest in living.

Included are Bernie''s thoughts on the healing powers of love, the power of the subconscious mind, the necessity of patients finding a doctor''s that''s right for them, and the use of illness to learn about life, confront pain, and create the changes needed for healing. He also deals with the issues of guilt and failure that may arise in confronting these challenges.

Dr. Siegel''s message is clear: ""If you talk to your body, it will listen.""

And millions of people have gained strength and support from the healing imagery workshops and bestselling books and tapes of Dr. Bernie Siegel, world-famous expert on physical and spiritual healing. Now his soothing voice and inspiring words are effectively combined with music in his compelling Personal Reflections and Mediations.

At the beginning of the recording, Dr. Siegel offers advice on how to achieve the peace of mind that is itself a powerful healing tool. He stresses the importance of an inner peace that comes from surrounding ourselves with the things that make us feel good—comforting and soothing images, sounds, smells, and tactile sensations. What follows are four actual guided meditations set to Daniel Kolbialka''s uplifting musical compostion ""Timeless Motion.""

As a physician who has cared for and counseled innumerable patients, Bernie S. Siegel embraces a philosophy that is at the forefront of a society grappling with medical ethics and spiritual issues. His books Love, Medicine, and Miracles (1986), Peace, Love and Healing (1989), and How to Live Between Office Visits (1993) have broken new ground in the field of healing. Over a span of twenty years, other physicians have become increasingly receptive to his message. Bernie''s efforts have now turned toward humanizing medical care and medical education, and he continues to travel extensively with his wife, Bobbie, to speak at and run workshops, sharing his techniques and experiences. Bernie and Bobbie have five children and six grandchildren (so far).

In a new introduction, Dr. Bernie Siegel highligths current research on the relationships among consciousness, psychosocial factors, attitude and immune function.

"Love and peace of mind do protect us," Siegel writes. "They allow us to overcome the problems that life hands us. They teach us to survive...to live now...to have the courage to confront each day."

A grand adventure born of Bernie''s experience of his current and past lives awaits you.

When three conflicted men search for deeper meaning in their lives, through their sometimes painful and amusing explorations they discover there are no coincidences:

Life begins to make sense when Jon attends a past life workshop held by the famed Dr. Brian Weiss and relives his past life trauma as a troubled teenage boy. What he remembers steers the direction of his life and the lives of George and Carmine.

Join this unlikely trio as they learn that love not only heals, but it endures. Sometimes the paths in life that look like detours are just different ways to get to where we are meant to be all along.
