Summary: A cure for your pain.
Review: After reading the book 'Modern Buddhist Healing' by Charles Atkins I lent it to a friend who has suffered from illness for many years and tried all sorts of therapy. She is already feeling the power of the healing recommended in the book. It is an honest, clear account of how anyone can change their lives and free themselves from disease, this is not a crank book as the method Mr Atkins uses really works. He even cites his own account of how he freed himself from a life threatening illness. It is a book to keep by your bedside and read over and over.

Summary: The Power Within
Review: As a master's level clinical psychology student, I appreciate this book on several levels. I was fairly unfamiliar with Buddhism before reading this book, in part because of the anticipated complexity of the subject. To my surprise, I discovered Atkins had written a book comprehensible to those new to Buddhism. For those with a knowledge of Buddhism already, it provides much more insight into the topic. The connections to psychology and therapy are too vast to detail. As a therapist, you are simply a faciliator for the client in his quest to learn more about himself, very similarly to Buddhism. Through sharing his experience, Atkins proves the great power we each obtain through our minds and faith in healing.

Summary: Good Medicine
Review: This book is exactly what many people are seeking right now. Atkins teaches clearly how to use our own potential for healing. His own personal experience is added to illustrate the truth in his message. Many patients feel that their ailment overshadows their individual value and humanity. They may feel like an ambulatory medical chart in a clinical setting. Thus the tremendous popularity and demand for alternative therapies that focus on total beings instead of sickness. Alternative medicine is a rapidly expanding field in the U.S., gaining in momentum and acceptance by more average Americans every year. Western medicine typically attributes causes of illness to physical realities while Eastern medicine considers life energy and the mind; the merging of these two diverse approaches is the future of medicine. Atkins believes that regardless of an individual's belief system, there are methods to incorporate prayer into treatment that actively include and empower the patient in their own healing process. Modern science has made considerable strides in the understanding of psychosomatic illness and is beginning to accept the reciprocal influence the body and mind have on each other.

Summary: A book all can benefit from
Review: This book is written in straight-up terms about how anyone battling illness can help defeat pain and suffering by utilizing Guided Imagery. Don't worry if you've not heard of it-the author will take you on a step-by-step journey and you needn't worry that you should know anything about Buddhism to use this, as it's written for "everyman", regardless of religious preference. As Mr. Atkins has battled from a near-death experience by using this technique, you can be assured that not only does this work, but it works at any level. If you are suffering or have a loved one who is, there is no reason for this to continue-get them (or yourself) this book immediately and get relief!

Review: This is IT
I recently just happened to be in a bookstore recently when Mr. Atkins was there discussing his book and experiences. I always have my "BS meter" on full alert...suffice to say that this book is not religious froo-froo or dogmatic salesmanship. The principles that he teaches here make sense for anyone and apparently work too. I'm impressed. If you buy it, Modern Buddhist Healing can change your life for the better on every level.
