Arielle Essex - Practical Miracles: Choices That Heal & Build Resilience

Arielles groundbreaking book Practical Miracles: Choices that Heal and Build Resilience brings together her incredible knowledge and expertise in NLP amassed from years of client work and practitioner courses, the latest scientific research into the mindbody connection, and her own unique insights into the causation of stress, anxiety, and ultimately disease. Arielle has distilled this information into an easy-to-understand and practical solution-focused book that is a must for anyone wanting to attract more peace, health, and the occasional miracle into their lives.

Karl Dawson, Hay House author and creator of Matrix Reimprinting

Arielle has an elegant way of enabling you to understand her thinking clearly and simply, creating a space and a place where you will choose to do the techniques offered. Once the shifts have been experienced you will choose to do more. All of the data offered is supported by an evidence-based structure, giving it great credibility. All you have to do is read it and do it Become Me-sponsible.

Kevin Laye, author, international trainer and speaker, Harley Street therapist, and director of Dolby Sound

While making The Living Matrix documentary, I met Arielle to film her incredibly powerful story about healing her own brain tumor. Practical Miracles gives you the full story of how she did that. Its a must-read for anyone serious about mindbody healing.

Harry Massey, founder of Nutri-energetics Systems, The Living Matrix movie and the Choice Point Movement

Practical Miracles is a book that places, in a manner accessible to everyone, some of the most groundbreaking thinking in the world of health and physiology. A hundred years from now, when Arielles ideas have at last become mainstream, the world will look back at the medicine of 2012 with the same horror as we do that of the Dark Ages.

Alexander Asseily, founder and chairman of Jawbone; founder of State

Arielle funnels an extensive understanding of current research into useful applications for everyday life. This book builds a bridge between theoretical insights and practical ways to help ourselves NOW.

Michael Grinder, pioneer developer of NLP and non-verbal communication

As I work mainly with PhD-educated scientists, conveying ideas to people in a logical and intellectual way is important. I really appreciate how the concepts and exercises in this book are communicated as a metaphorical, flowing story. The play on words and the different dimensions of language add a poetic element to this educative and thought-provoking read.

Suzanne Lovell, biotechnology operations and HR for organizations including The Institute of Cancer Research, ArQule (UK) Ltd and Inpharmatica, and consultant to a range of biotechnology companies

This inspiring book will bring you blessings as it deepens your understanding, renews your spirit, and strengthens your belief and trust in yourself. It provides a very sensitive and practical explanation of how the mind works, and how every thought you have affects the healing process. Take time to reflect on each point and rediscover your known and unknown strengths.

Simon Xavier Guerrand-Herms, chairman, Guerrand-Herms Foundation for Peace

Practical Miracles presents a broad spectrum of approaches that can be used to improve your life, health, and happiness. Arielles unique concept of thought clouds helps in healing stressful emotions and increasing mindfulness. As they say in AA: it works if you work it.

Brian Van der Horst, former director, NLP Institute for Advanced Studies, San Francisco and Paris; columnist for New Realities, Practical Psychology, Playboy, The Village Voice. Now Paris bureau chief, Integral Leadership Review

There are few people who wouldnt benefit from reading this helpful, informative, and insightful book. Just reading it will inspire you to a new level of consciousness about mind, body, and spirit. Practising this approach will not only assist healing, but act as preventive medicine.

To all my clients who have taught me
so much by opening their hearts and
sharing their problems.

Three things cannot be long hidden:
the sun, the moon, and the truth.

Buddha
