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.
