Product Description
New York Times best-selling author Caroline Myss draws from her years as a medical intuitive to show that healing is not only physical; it is also a mystical phenomenon that transcends reason. Inspired by ordinary people who overcame a wide array of physical and psychological ailments—from rheumatoid arthritis to cancer—Caroline dove into the works of the great mystics to gain a deeper understanding of healing’s spiritual underpinnings. Based on these studies, she demonstrates how conventional and holistic medicine often fall short in times of need. Both systems rely upon a logical approach to curing illness when there is nothing reasonable about the emotional, psychological, or spiritual influences behind any ailment. Integral to this mystical healing approach is the engagement of the soul, which we experience through exploring our seven shadow passions, building an empowered inner self around our seven inherent graces, and learning how to work with the mystical laws that govern it. This knowledge holds the key to understanding what it means to defy gravity and break through the boundaries of ordinary thought. You can heal any illness. You can channel grace. And you can learn to live fearlessly.

How to be happily sick July 27, 2010 R. Neufeld 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is perfect if you wish to be either sick and at peace, or you wish to know that being sick is your own fault. Building on the cult of happiness, the reason you're ill is either you haven't stopped using the rational part of your mind, or because you haven't let go of your fear, or you won't let the healing take place...essentially it's your fault, and this whole 'medicine' business is an irritation. There are some useful patterns of thought contained in this book pertaining to self-examination and thought, but even if you just focused on these areas you'd still be peacefully at sick - although the way the book is written at some point the fact that you are still sick would point out how inadequate you are. Those that can help themselves...aren't sick.
If anyone you know or love is thinking about reading this book or has it, discourage. Ultimately it's designed to produce Caroline acolytes, and not healing.
spiritual healing March 11, 2010 Angelique (WI USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this book to take me beyond the bounds of physical healing. I want to get to a higher level in my spiritual healing.
Defy Gravity is a must for every Healer March 10, 2010 Marnie Morrison (Texas) Defy Gravity should be on every Healers bookshelf. In the Myss tradition, she takes us to a new higher level. She states that healing is a mystical experience and then convinces us. This book is well organized, explains each of the seven chapter "Truths" in-depth and includes helpful examples of each point she is making.
For me, Myss ties everything together in the last two chapters:MYSS "Defy Gravity and Learn to Reason Like a Mystic" and "Beyond Illness: Living in a Field of Grace" This book is the forefront of healing information - the cutting edge.
FABULOUS - a good place to begin or continue February 9, 2010 Terri (Ann Arbor, MI) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
So far, this is the best! Defy Gravity is her most comprehensive, easily accessible work. In fact, if I only bought one book by Caroline Myss, this would be it. I have read and/or listened to all of Caroline's work (except for Entering the Castle which I now feel ready for). While I've learned from each, some of her material is easier to absorb than others - and the format makes a difference, even within the same work. For example, I found Anatomy of The Spirit more accessible by CD than in the book.
Caroline Myss is logical, methodical, honest, and cares deeply about helping us all realize our highest potential. She is definitely a "you can pick yourself up by your own bootstraps" kind of gal. She does calls it likes she sees it, freely admitting her own humanity and her occassionally snarky side because she wants you to know YOU ALREADY HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO THRIVE. She gives you a detailed map and asks if are willing to accept some personal responsibility, then pray to the divine (in the planet, god of your choice, or your best self - Caroline Myss is a big picture person not limited by a religious tradition, though she was raised Catholic), and lastly act on what you know in your heart to be true. Does she dare suggest prayer? Yes. However, this book in no way says "just pray".
Words matter. Caroline Myss knows this. She is daring and pushy - but always with heart behind it so don't worry about intent. However, if the word "pray" is a trigger that trumps all others for you in a negative way, then this is probably not the book for you. If you can expand your definition of prayer to encompass "focus your thoughts and intentions", then you might be able to hear the bigger message, and it is worthwhile. Do you feel that there should be more in your life? Are you having trouble accessing your own intuition - and following its advice? Read on. Defy Gravity ties many pieces together. As I said, I think this is her best work so far. I read it cover to cover, bought extra copies for gifts, and am now about to buy the CD so I can absorb it another way. If you are worried about the money, don't forget about the library - but read it and let Defy Gravity help your spirit do just that.
important insight for our world February 7, 2010 Kevin D. Schoeninger 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Myss gives an insightful commentary on how we use reason and reasons to support fear and irrationality. At the same time, we dismiss the deeper wisdom and guidance of our spiritual senses. An important message for these times when fear so dominates our consciousness.
