New York Times best-selling author Caroline Myss draws from her years as a medical intuitive to show that healing is not only physical; it is also a mystical phenomenon that transcends reason.
Inspired by ordinary people who overcame a wide array of physical and psychological ailments—from rheumatoid arthritis to cancer—Caroline dove into the works of the great mystics to gain a deeper understanding of healing’s spiritual underpinnings. Based on these studies, she demonstrates how conventional and holistic medicine often fall short in times of need. Both systems rely upon a logical approach to curing illness when there is nothing reasonable about the emotional, psychological, or spiritual influences behind any ailment.
Integral to this mystical healing approach is the engagement of the soul, which we experience through exploring our seven shadow passions, building an empowered inner self around our seven inherent graces, and learning how to work with the mystical laws that govern it. This knowledge holds the key to understanding what it means to defy gravity and break through the boundaries of ordinary thought. You can heal any illness. You can channel grace. And you can learn to live fearlessly.

I purchased this as an audiobook. The sarcastic tone of Ms. Myss is so degrading that I had to put the speed on 2x so that I could get through the book. In the first half of the book Myss points out all the faults of her readers. This is not done in a constructive helpful manner but rather in a degrading punitive manner. She repeatedly chastises the reader by saying "boo hoo" for you. The good points in the second half could have been summed up in a paragraph. If you are looking for inspiration, try Pema Chodron. Ms. Myss perhaps you could benefit from a refresher of Pema's wisdom as well.

In Defy Gravity: Healing Beyond the Bounds of Reason, Caroline Myss writes with clarity and groundedness about spirituality, mysticism and consciousness. Chronic and long term illness are not logical conditions, and yet for centuries men and women have attempted to find answers using intelligence alone. Myss demonstrates how illness can be resolved spiritually, by connecting with the Divine. This book touched my heart and my spirit as Myss tapped into traditional and esoteric spirituality and linked illness with destructive passions and health with relationship with God. I have seen the truth of Myss' work, eliminating the symptoms and need for medication for systemic lupus in my own life this year. Discovering God and the power of grace and reverence has transformed my life. I highly recommend Defy Gravity to spiritual seekers and all those interested in health and healing.

bought the book and the audio. They are based on the same, but, the audio is not word for word. I like having the audio in my car and study the book when I'm not driving. lol The book is a little hard for me to read so am taking my time with it so that it soaks in. It really has been very helpful to shed some past issues. Thanks, Caroline!
