How to say yes when your body says no

"It's easy to feel betrayed, bewildered, and downright depressed by a body that no longer does what it used to do. Sexual dysfunction or loss of desire, chronic pain, post-op weakness, cancer, loss of hearing or sight. There comes a point where our bodies can seem like permanent obstacles. In this small miracle of a book, Dr. Lee Jampolsky, renowned psychologist and author of Smile for No Good Reason, heps you re-vision your life. He takes you beneath and behind and around your physical limitations to a place where you are and always will be whole. Try his meditations and exercises and find an inner spaciousness and grace that no amount of pain or disability can take away."—P. [4] of cover.
