How to Heal – Peace for the Body and the Mind

Below is a quote entitled - How to Heal, from Caroline Myss, that I read on my friend's Facebook wall this morning.

Mental People don't heal. Visualization doesn't work.  You have to work your body like a barn animal.  You have to exercise.  You have to start moving and break the spell; the generator will kick in.  You have to do ultra-healthy food.  You cannot sit.
