A collection of lectures, interviews, and exercises from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Tibetan healing practices, the hospice movement, and Western psychotherapy. This book offers new ways to deal with life and death, as well as pain and illness. It demonstrates how one can begin to view problems in a completely new light through the transformation of one's attitudes, deep relaxation, and the cultivation of compassion and wisdom. Complete healing from all physical and mental disturbances is a process in Eastern traditions that often spans multiple lifetimes, which is why the second part of the book addresses how to navigate the transition from one life to the next. It includes many practical exercises.
