Heal Thy Self | Free Book
--Saki Santorelli
Today we are experiencing extraordinary technological advances in the diagnosis and treatment of illness while at the same time learning to take more responsibility for our own health and well-being. In this book, Saki Santorelli, director of the nationally acclaimed Stress Reduction Clinic, explores the ancient roots of medicine, and shows us how to introduce mindfulness into the crucible of the healing relationship, so that both patients and caregivers begin to acknowledge that we are all wounded and we are all whole. His approach revolutionizes the dynamics of the patient/practitioner relationship. In describing the classes at the clinic and the transformation that takes place in this alchemical process, he offers insights and effective methods for cultivating mindfulness in our everyday lives. As he reveals the inner landscape of his own life as a health care professional and we join him and those with whom he works on this journey of human suffering and courage, we become aware of and honor what is darkest and brightest within each one of us.
In The Press
"Rarely does a book speak so eloquently to those of us who struggle
with illness in our own lives, as well as to those who join with us in
the project of healing. In sharing his involvement in the lives of
patients and his own personal journey of mindfulness, Saki Santorelli
gives us startling insights into what it means to heal and be healed.
This book is a gift that will change your life."

"Saki
evokes for us the mutuality of the healing relationship and reclaims
for medicine and all who work within it the wisdom and power of its
lineage."
