Carolyn Myss writes about health and illness within the individual human energy system, but dosen't take energy thinking far enough-that's why some of her arguments break down. The power of positive thinking, prayer, the laying on of hands, and laughter all work to heal the body-mind-spirit.
Doctors mostly facilitate the process or mess it up. I can testify that "whatever your mind can conceive and believe it will achieve." Whenever I have an ailment, I whip out Hays' healing books (Myss cites one of them).
In the early 1980s, I had the pleasure and privilege of being in Louis Hay's home. Myss is billed as an expert on energy medicine. Like Joseph Campbell whom she apparently see as a model, Myss sees a larger truth underlying religious structures and/or tribal systems of belief. I have studied the Kabbalah (it is far more complex than Myss' book indicates). I've also acquired a great deal of knowledge about the Chakras in the past 40 years (via reading and Hindu friends).
I know something about the sacraments having been raised with them. For a change, Myss has written a book older folks will appreciate more than younger ones. My daughter would appreciate it - but she's a fan of Bishop Pike. My Southern Baptist aunt would probably disown me. I would like to send the audio version to my 87-year old aunt who is devoutly Roman Catholic, but I don't think she would like it. Many who have trod the spiritual path Myss describes and faced the Three Big Crises - absence of meaning and purpose strange new fears and devotion to something greater than one's self - will appreciate her final words. In the last part of ANATOMY OF THE SPIRIT, Caroline Myss unites her discussion of three belief systems (Roman Catholic Sacraments, Kabbalah Tree of Life, and Hindu Chakras) within the concept of living in the present moment.
