The Creation of Health: The Emotional, Psychological, and Spiritual Responses That Promote Health and Healing Paperback – April 14, 1998

Health consciousness. Heightening self-awareness. Achieving health, and healing, in the body from achieving health in the mind and spirit. If you’ve read authors like Bernie Siegel, Judith Orloff, Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra, Donna Eden, Louise Hay, and others, this book reflects similar theories but presents healing into a deeper path. How our diseases and chronic pain are hinged, in fact caused by, our psychological and spiritual issues is not new, but Caroline Myss and Norman Shealy apply principles to the source of disease in a way that makes clear and convincing sense, is practical and wise. “The principle of healing is spirituality in motion.” This is the core and Myss brings it to water the roots of our own thought processes, and stress tolerance, that rule our lives. I found myself shifting my understanding about causes of pain and illness that I hadn’t known before. Even though I’ve read about this from so many other authors, I think it is Myss and Shealy’s analysis of the physical illness and how it intimately is sourced from our own fears and angers that play such a powerful and controlling role in our lives. If you have chronic pain or any form of serious disease, this is a book to have on your shelf if you want to understand the nature of your illness. The stress factor is monumental, as you might suspect. Our own responsibility too in how we think or react to life’s difficulties is equally monumental. If you are asking yourself, why do I have this constant pain? Why do I have this disease? Myss and Shealy have a number of ways to answer that question and open the door to true physical and mind/spiritual healing. Yes, they address energy fields and the chakras, the ego and the soul. I especially liked Myss ‘energy analysis’ about cancer, and heart disease, and migraines. Remember the old saying, 'we are what we eat'? This books addresses 'we are what we think.' I read this book via my library but purchased it because it’s a must-have on my shelf. Highly recommended.Paula Cappa is an avid book reviewer and an award-winning supernatural mystery author of novels and short stories.

I began reading this at the library and had to buy it!The information is well presented, and an enjoyable read. As an holistic practitioner I appreciate the balance of information presented. The verbiage will come in handy when speaking to clients and uneducated public alike.Caroline puts the work into perspective as to clarify myths and connect the dots of information that is out there.Written with respect to both allopathic doctors and holistic healing modalities.Filled with truly wise words to remember.

Just started reading this book I ordered. And it is very very interesting. Caroline has a certain style of no-nonsense writing that is a bit "tough love" and you can sense her intention of whomever reads it to "get it" and understand what she writes. Enjoying the book so far.

Must have an open mind while reading this book. Lots of interesting and informative info to absorb. Very worthwhile reading.

This is an extraordinary book from two fantastic teachers, healers and authors. It is not frequent to read a book that presents an analysis of disease in such an holistic way, introducing a medical analysis and an energetic analysis. Also, it presents a very interesting approach to the creation of a really healthy life, again with sound sensible medical rules and advice together with the energetic, philosophic standards, so often forgotten in this world. A must-have for all healers and those interested in health issues.

Very well written, and confirms and extends my own conclusions about health over the years.A must for every book collection, and for anyone who need to heal. Take responsibility for your health!You are a fool if you wait and rely on doctor's. It is great to have them, but your personal goal should be to never have to use them.This book will tell you how to achieve this.

How and why do I have to write a review when you won't even let me start reading it yet???

One of the best books to read if you care for a happy and healthy life! Caroline and Dr. SHeally are the best combo, for humor, directness, no non-sense teachers. It's a treat to read this book. She says it exactly as it is, with lots of wisdom and facts.
