The Healing Companion Simple and Effective Ways Your Presence Can Help People Heal
Author: Jeff Kane, Larry Dossey
The ability to heal is not reserved for a gifted few. Anyone aching to ease the pain of a sick friend or loved one can tap into the immense power of caring and compassion by learning to become unconditionally present to the patient rather than to the disease. Through stories filled with compassion, wisdom, and gentle humor, Dr. Jeff Kane show...  more »A decade of practicing medicine made Dr. Kane increasingly aware of the limits of medical technology in the healing process. Shifting his study from scientific knowledge to the. personal experience of illness, he began to explore how different our modern techniques for curing are from true and lasting healing. As he points out, while disinfectant and a Band-Aid may cure the skinned knee of a child, it is a parent's hugs and kisses that allow the wound to truly heal. Similarly, the high-tech tools of modern medicine cure diseases, but the prescription for healing is much simpler, and is available to everyone: mindful attention, therapeutic listening, and speaking with truth and compassion. The Healing Companion provides caregivers with all they need to practice these accessible but subtle healing arts.When serious illness threatens those we love, providing care and support can be a daunting challenge. Complex and conflicting emotions arise, and we can feel at a loss when trying to help. With Dr. Kane as your healing companion, you can deftly guide an ailing person toward the profound inner peace and serenity that make healing possible.
