Can we use words to make ourselves feel and actually be better? Michael E Morrison certainly thinks so, and in this insightful guide he tells us about the transformational power of language. In doing so he delves into such concepts as NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), Lamarckian evolution theory, the Biology of Belief, Cell-Level Healing, the power of prayer (in health as well as sickness), the Gaia Hypothesis and Earth Hour. As current concerns move from the individual to the global, our well-being is seen as holistic rather than localised. Can we use positive thoughts and frame positive words to change ourselves - and ultimately help our world to flourish? Read Prisoner of Words and discover a new approach to old problems. For over a quarter of a century, MICHAEL E MORRISON was a robotic disciple of Western medicine, relying on the latest wonder drug to treat his cystic fibrosis. He reached a nadir with conventional medicine when the head consultant referred to him as 'twiggy', and he realised that the treatments were often making him worse, not better. He began looking at alternative therapies, which understood the totality of illness. He embarked on a spiritual journey, learning healing techniques to unlock the physician within.
