By: Author Marketing Experts
 
July 25, 2011 - PRLog -- The most recent book by author Jennifer Barraclough, Focus on Healing: Holistic self-help for medical illness, is a genuinely practical guide for anyone with a personal or professional interest in natural healthcare.

Barraclough has developed a clear and balanced overview, for seasoned holistic followers and those looking to expand their treatment options, paying particular attention to the treatment of chronic or long-term illnesses and maintaining a healthy mind-body balance.

Focus on Healing is centered on these key elements:

•   Each person is a unique individual - not just a 'case' of a certain disease

•   The whole person - emotions, mind and spirit as well as physical body

•   The belief that everyone is to some degree responsible for their own well being

•   Having a sense of choice, control and active participation in treatment, whether with self-help and/or professional care

•   Favoring therapies which are safe, natural, and preferably low-cost, in preference to high-tech interventions

•   Realizing that the illness experience can carry a personal meaning and be an opportunity for positive change

Barraclough takes a standout approach, as readers immediately notice she considers both the merits and the potential hazards of an often controversial field. Her perspective comes from a long history of personal experience, as well as inspiring real-life stories of others’ healing journeys.

Focus on Healing is a winning combination of education and understanding that believes in improving the individual experience. The book can be purchased through the author’s website at http://www.jenni.co.nz.
