Being in control of my own health is one of my most important needs, since I haven't seen a doctor in almost 2 decades! It features step-by-step techniques with easy-to-understand instructions and detailed illustrations, stunning examples of encaustic works of art (including sculpture), along with practical advice and thoughtful aesthetic observations from more than 60 professional artists working in the encaustic medium. The book started off with an interesting collection of studies with scientific results that supported this relationship. It is a book geared to saying, look I am an overworked Doctor, that packed medicine in because of my lack of self control and now I have studied some more, and found evidence from various sources which I want to put forward as evidence that the mind has control over the body.

Repeated stress reactions exhaust these systems and also prevent the body from being able to relax, which it must do to repair damage that might be occurring from toxins, mutating cells, infections, and the like.

Ever since I began my spiritual journey, I have been instinctively aware of the links between the mind and the body and my reading has hinted at this link.

However, I found her overtures to standard medicine a little hollow, like when I was still trying to convince my parents that I was straight. I'm a big believer in taking responsibility for one's health, but I worried that the book would take a blaming pointing finger approach. Rankin lays out techniques for counteracting the stress response and “writing your own prescription” for pinpointing emotional issues that may need to be resolved, taking action to address them (often very difficult tasks, she admits), and finding ways to balance your life in important areas such as work, relationships, spirituality, sexuality, and creativity, for optimum happiness, relaxation, and health.

She is now leading a "Pink Medicine Revolution" to help patients heal themselves, while encouraging the health-care industry to embrace and facilitate, rather than resist, such miracles. I was particularly struck by two cases the author quotes of children – one recovered from an apparently incurable cancer and the other who died.
