The wisdom codes : ancient words to rewire our brains and heal our hearts / Gregg Braden.

Includes bibliographical references.

"Words to change our minds-and our hearts New discoveries in biology and the neurosciences are revealing how the structure of language-the words we think and speak-can actually change the way the neurons in our brains and hearts connect. But our ancestors understood this connection intuitively, thousands of years ago. They created specific word-patterns to provide comfort, healing, strength, and inner power in difficult times, and they encoded these powerful words in prayers, chants, mantras, hymns, and sacred writings to preserve them for future generations. Now beloved teacher and thought leader Gregg Braden cracks the code and puts the words in your hands. The Wisdom Codes delves into the world's timeless texts, gathering the powerful words we've always turned to in times of need. When life brings danger, doubt, hurt, or loss to our doorstep, these words provide reassurance, protection, and healing. For each code, Braden offers insight into its meaning, why it's important, and how to apply it in practical ways in your life-whatever you find yourself facing. You'll find chapters devoted to healing from loss and grief, confronting your unspoken fears, finding certainty in the face of uncertain choices, and finding forgiveness, as well as parables that offer a "fast track" to unraveling life's deepest mysteries"-- Provided by publisher.
