Healing Journey

From the common cold to cancer... 

Whatever you're dealing with, stress most likely has something to do with it. An estimated 90% of all illness and disease begins with stress. 

Using techniques drawn from meditative and prayerful disciplines as well as soothing music, the Healing Journey program helps melt away stress whether you're anxious and overwhelmed by everyday life or trying to recover from a specific illness or chronic condition. 

In over 30 years since Dr. Miller created this program, Healing Journey has helped countless people relax and connect with their inner healing source. And it holds the distinction of being the first nationally published guided imagery experience featuring music and deep relaxation. 

Healing Journey will introduce you to the techniques of deep relaxation and self-healing. After Dr. Miller’s voice lulls you into the “healing state” of deep relaxation, you are guided to find your “inner healer.” Recognizing that an illness or dysfunction is merely a superficial smudge on your deeper, fully healthy self, you discover that through imagery, you can allow your inner healer to erase, dissolve, and wipe away any imbalance that impedes your living a full and content life. The program also features a complete orchestral composition by Raphael Sharpe, performed by outstanding musicians and highlighted by Mr. Sharpe's extraordinary piano work. In nearly every culture people have listened to music as an aid to healing and this music is designed to complement the healing imagery in this program and facilitate the healing process. 

Track 1 – The Healing Image: 25:37 

The Healing Image begins by guiding you into a deep state of relaxation. Each time you listen you may go even deeper, improving the ability of your deeper mind and your body to receive, accept and act on the suggestions and images that follow. The soothing voice and mellow music then guide you to create powerful mental imagery, the key to psychophysiological change. 
Track 2: Breathing Music 29:09 

Breathing Music is a purely musical expression of the healing process and takes you through each of the phases of healing presented on Track 1, with solo violin, tamboura, bamboo flute, and grand piano solos replacing the verbal guidance. You will find it of great value in expanding upon images developed on Track 1. It is also widely used for meditation, or for massage and other activities for which a serene, fluid, ambient background is appropriate. 
 

Purpose: 

• To facilitate the healing process with mind-body communication. 

• To help maintain a calm, relaxed state during recovery from a major illness. 

• To provide relief from superficial symptoms of everyday minor ailments, such as flu or muscle strain. 

• To enhance the development of a healthy self-image. 

• To connect with the inner healing source. 

• To aid in getting sufficient sleep. 

Although there are no absolute contraindications for the use of this product, people who are severely psychotic or who do not want to at least try to follow the guidance offered will probably benefit little from listening. Listening is also not a substitute for needed medical care or psychiatric care for serious mental or emotional disturbance. In any undiagnosed potentially serious condition such as a head injury, again, there will not likely be any harm, but it would be wise to delay their use until an adequate diagnosis has been made. Although no such problems have been reported, people with seizures of any kind, or neurological or with severe neurorespiratory disease, should check with their primary care practitioner for suggestions regarding the use of this program. Likewise, if you are undergoing psychotherapy, share your use of these with your therapist, as he/she may want to integrate this use with your treatment. And, of course, if you are driving or using equipment that requires your full attention, do not close your eyes and do not listen to any program that you find causes you to become drowsy, distracted, or incapable of functioning safely.  

Author Bio: Although best known for his seminal work as a co-creator of the field of holistic health and Mind-Body Medicine, Dr. Miller is also a musician, physician, and scientist, has earned degrees in Medicine (Albert Einstein College of Medicine) and Mathematics (Trinity College), and has been elected to Sigma Pi Sigma, National Physics Honor Society. His chief discoveries were that thoughts, emotions, and mental images have profound effects on health and performance. Computer literate since the 1960s, he realized that the human biocomputer, the mind, thinks and feels the way it was programmed, and that the use of self-induced altered states (similar to meditation and hypnosis) could be used to gain access to the "source code."

Applying his clinical skills, wisdom, and logic, he invented the first meditation tapes, called Software for the Mind. They introduced the world to deep relaxation and guided imagery, and have remained the choice of conventional as well as complementary and alternative health professionals for more than 35 years. Often described as a "contemporary shaman," he is a trainer, coach, speaker, and tireless worker in the service of planetary transformation through his Leadership Institute for Global Healing and Transformation (LIGHT).

His book, Deep Healing; The Essence of Mind-Body Medicine, presents the results of his careful, patient-centered research into the process of healing and transformation, as it applies to health, happiness, and peak performance. He maintains a practice in Los Altos, limited to Mind-Body Medicine and Peak Performance Coaching for individuals, leaders, and organizations.

His current mission and vision include the development of a web-based global healing center dedicated to catalyzing positive change and wisdom through the electronic distribution of digitized audio and visual media.
