In A Manual of Self-Healing, E.H. Shattock develops a simple, comprehensive, and adaptable method of self-treatment that anyone can successfully use. The techniques he employs train the mind in three essential functions: focus or concentration, mind-picturing or visualization, and breathing. These techniques provide access to the automatic mind-the part of the subconscious that control basic life actions-and instructions are given that initiate the body’s own healing process. The simple self-healing programs outlined by the author can be adapted to help heal a wide range of conditions and ailments.
