Brand New : 1 CDs
Best-selling author and lecturer Joan Borysenko leads you through two empowering meditations: 1. Gratitude: Healing Images: This meditation begins with acknowledging and expressing gratitude to our bodies. We then invite physical healing by allowing light and love to penetrate each cell of our beings. 2. Concentration and Awareness: The two traditional schools of meditation practice are concentration and awareness. This meditation offers guidance in achieving these two states of power.

After graduating magna cum laude from Bryn Mawr College in 1967, Dr. Joan Borysenko earned her doctorate in Medical Sciences from the Harvard Medical School, where she completed post-doctoral training in cancer cell biology. Her first faculty position was at the Tufts University College of Medicine in Boston. But after the death of her father from cancer, Joan Borysenko became more interested in the person with the illness than in the disease itself, and returned to Harvard Medical School to complete a second postdoctoral fellowship, this time in the new field of behavioral medicine. Under the tutelage of Herbert Benson, M.D., who first identified the relaxation response and brought meditation into medicine, Joan Borysenko was awarded a Medical Foundation Fellowship and completed her third post-doctoral fellowship in psychoneuroimmunology.
In the early 1980's Dr. Joan Borysenko co-founded a Mind/Body clinic with Dr. Benson and Dr. Ilan Kutz, became licensed as a psychologist, and was appointed instructor in medicine at the Harvard Medical School. Her years of clinical experience and research culminated in the 1987 publication of the New York Times best seller, Minding the Body, Mending the Mind, which sold over 400,000 copies. The 20th anniversary edition, newly revised, was published in 2007. Author or co-author of 13 other books and numerous audio and video programs, including the Public Television special Inner Peace for Busy People, she is the Founding Partner of Mind/Body Health Sciences, LLC located in Boulder, Colorado and the Director of The Claritas Institute Interspiritual Mentor Training Program.
