Healing and Recovery (David R. Hawkins)

The same day I received this book, I immediately started reading it and after reading just the 1st 2 chapters, I used the healing technique the author describes in chapter 2 and HEALED myself of a nagging injury that had been bothering me - I had fallen at a pool but in the act of catching myself on the railing closeby, I had pulled several abdominal & back muscles as well as dislocating 2 ribs in the process. I had been to a chiropractor several times with only minor results and had been experiencing ongoing pain & discomfort for over 3 weeks, only barely helped by the handfuls of Aleve I'd been taking. It hurt to breathe, I could not sleep at night, and sitting at my desk at work was an ongoing exercise in endurance.After reading Chapter 2 "Assisted Healing", I applied the techniques the author outlined and my pain instantly vanished. Whereas it had been painful just to breathe and I had been extremely reluctant to sneeze because of the ensuing agony it would cause, I am now pain-free. I always knew the mind was powerful but I had no idea of the magnitude of that power.There is another review below where the reviewer questions the author's credentials but I want to say to him and to anyone else reading this that "BY THEIR FRUITS, YE SHALL KNOW THEM." I don't really care where Dr Hawkins got his enlightenment from - truth is truth and all I know is that I've read 3 of his books - "Power -vs-Force", "Letting Go", and now this one "Healing & Recovery" and I've discovered for myself the truth of what he conveys. The proof is in the application of his teachings & techniques and after my healing experience after just the first 2 chapters, I look forward to reading & applying the rest of the book to the subjects he covers - especially sexuality & weight loss. I also like the way his information is applicable regardless of your religious persuasion. I always had been taught that we must guard our thoughts and now I understand in a NON-religious context exactly why that is such a true statement.I highly recommend this book for any honest truth-seeker. Put it to the test for yourself. The proof is in the pudding, as the old saying goes. As Christ put it, "By their fruits (THEIR RESULTS) ye shall know them." I know for myself that what he lays out so plainly really works because I applied it within an hour of receiving my book and healed myself. But don't just take my word for it. Get the book & see for yourself. "You are an Infinite being...subject only to what you keep in mind..."

The simplicity of the required actions that one can take to heal oneself is amazing. i have tried some of Dr Hawkins suggestions and have found them to be beneficial. Dr Hawkins refers to the Map of consciousness in each chapter which assists the reader to understand the practical application of the Map in their every day life. There are many references to other supporting information.The book is easy to read and I suggest that people keep sticky tags handy so they can mark information that is relevant.The book reminds us of our inherent innocence and how our beliefs are the cause of our experiences & .suggests techniques on how to transcend them.Very enjoyable & inspiring read.

Extremely practical.Absolutely incredible book. Life changing.Makes for a great gift, even to someone who is not familiar with Hawkins.The author is unique in that he has over 50 years of clinical experience before becoming Enlightened. What more could you ask for?The book's chapters are as follows:1) Map of Consciousness2) Assisted Healing3) Stress4) Health5) Spiritual First Aid6) Sexuality7) The Aging Process8) Handling Major Crises9) Worry, Fear, Anxiety10) Pain and Suffering11) Losing Weight12) Depression13) Alcoholism14) Cancer15) Death and DyingThe old saying "Life didn't come with an instruction manual" is put to rest with this book.(Although do note it does not cover the topic of children.)

I can apply the information represented in Dr. Hawkins' book. I've mastered the cancel exercise. I use it often throughout the day to the point of alleviating aches and pains. I thought I was feeling fantastic before I read his book. I'm feeling more fantastic. I learn something new each time I read it. Something else jumps out at me during the next reading. A must have in your library of self-help books!

Lots of good info. He reiterates the power of belief/mind so much that it altered my beliefs for the better.After reading the chapter on weight loss, I set a goal to lose 10 pounds in 7 days.I lost 14 pounds in 7 days and I have kept it off.239 to 225.He also stresses how much unconcious guilt most people have and how it causes so many of the illnesses that we have. I highly recommend this book for ANY body. I did buy it mainly for the Alcoholism section.He mostly just touts AA. But in spite of not getting all I may have hoped for on alcoholism specifically it is well worth reading.

This product is in the living room. Its good for price.

This book is a tremendous gift to mankind. Having read all of Dr. Hawkins' books, I believe he has saved his best for last (although I do hope his publishing company continues to put out more great material in the future). I am giving out copies of Healing and Recovery to friends and family, and plan to do so in the future. With all the talk today about health care reform, what better plan could there be than the one outlined by Dr. Hawkins in this book: Letting go and surrendering all to Perfect Love.Healing and Recovery is beyond 5-stars. I highly recommend this book. Buy it. Read it. Read it again and again. Buy copies for your friends and family. Study it in groups. Make the book a centerpiece of your life. May you rise in consciousness and live a life of love and light, just as God intended from the beginning.

This book takes its place alongside the great inspirational spiritual works available to humanity in our journey to unity with the divine.

As a therapist this is one book I will use for ever as a guide. Few people have the blend of experience and spiritual understanding that Dr Hawkins (sadly deceased) displayed. He blends science and meta physical knowledge with the perfection of a master. I avidly seek out all of the legacy that he left to help us all to better understand the relationship between energy and healing!

This book has enabled me to do exactly what they title says - heal and recover. I will always have this book nearby. Much love and thanks to David Hawkins for his wonderful work. Highly recommended!

This words in this book have helped me release many illnesses. If you study this book it will probably be one of the best books you buy.

As with all Dr Hawkins books this was informative and full of useful ideas. He was a brilliant man and this is reflected in his writings

It's always a joy to read David Hawkins' work - a thoroughly interesting and informative read that inspires further questions
