Beautiful. . . . If you are facing cancer or any other serious illness,
I encourage you to allow the wisdom contained within these pages to
nurture, guide, and support you.-Deepak Chopra, M.D., from his foreword
Return to Wholeness is a revelation. David Simon breaks new ground with
the innovative, holistic mind-body approaches developed at the Chopra
Center for Well Being. The guiding theme in this book is wholeness, as
Dr. Simon demonstrates to readers the value of integrating the best of
traditional and alternative medicines with ancient Eastern, Ayurvedic
principles and practices in order to forge the most effective path to
wellness.
Return to Wholeness features advice and recommendations on every aspect
of living with illness, including designing a simple nutritional program
to purify, rejuvenate, and provide balance; benefiting from the healing
properties of vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and herbs; facing the
toll exacted by chemotherapy and other medical techniques; incorporating
various kinds of meditation, creative visualization, and aromatherapy
into the larger Return to Wholeness program; and weathering emotional
cycles through art therapy, journaling, laughter, and music.
