Originally published in 1993 by Nataraj as A Passion to Heal, this popular companion and guide to deep inner healing is now revised and updated for a new generation of readers as My Big Book of Healing.

Many people are dealing with addiction and abuse issues. Others suffer from physical ailments. Some are recovering from the emotional fallout of growing up in a dysfunctional family. My Big Book of Healing provides one-stop shopping for anyone in search of emotional and physical health.

Renowned author and spiritual teacher Echo Bodine shows readers how they can heal from eighteen illnesses, addictions, and "distractions," including:

the debilitating power of secrets

chemical dependencies

excessive weightloss or weight gain

stress and depression

fear and resentment

loss and grieving

After exploring these common personal issues, Bodine offers concrete, easy-to-understand guidance on where and how to find the deep inner healing necessary to overcome these issues. She takes readers through such healing solutions as 12-Step groups to Lifework clinics to therapy and good medical help.
