In twelve easy steps Tulku Thondup sets out a map to healing. He is a master cartographer and leads the reader on an enthralling and at times dazzling journey, which may lead to regaining health but certainly to acceptance and peace. For someone who has been diagnosed with a life threatening illness or is undergoing deep sea changes, here is a book that will alleviate the fear and anxiety that such a prognosis brings.

Tulku Thondup charts a way through the terror, reconnecting the reader by using meditations that bring a deep and peaceful acceptance of "how it is." Chapter after chapter provides a joyful recognition that the key to healing is to reconnect the mind again and again with positive images, words and feelings and to trust in their efficacy.

Through visualization techniques the body becomes a field of love and light. Connecting through the minds eye, in microscopic detail, an intimate portrait emerges of our bodies. Firstly on an anatomical and then cellular level and eventually like a huge symphony it embraces the whole of creation, which is the miracle of life. This miracle is constantly in motion and ever changing.

Again and again through repetition and memorizing exercises we begin to realize that there is no separation between thinking in the brain, emotions in the heart or feeling in the body. It is awareness that unites our experience, This unrestricted and uncontaminated timeless awareness of peace is our ultimate joy and strength.

You could give no greater gift to a loved one than this book, for it is a treasure house of boundless knowledge and wisdom. It will enable whoever reads it and practices its remedies a glimpse of the universal peace that is ours and every being's birthright.
