BIBLIOTHERAPY - ( AND A GIFT FROM ME TO YOU)

SELFMEDICATION

“Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you.”
Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

The name ”bibliotherapy”, refers to book therapy, poetry therapy or therapeutic storytelling, and involves reading specific texts with the purpose of healing. I always knew books could be magic, that they heal too is therefore no suprise to me.

Reading a book offers an oppurtunity to temporarily escape your everyday life to other dimensions. You can be a completely different person, identifying with an animal, plant or even some fairy tale hero. In addition it’s possible that the subject you read about can bring you rest, quietness and tranquility. A book can have transformational affects on its reader, offering new perspectives, inspiration and wisdom to strengthen your inner compass or even soul growth. There are no limits avtually for what you can experience or achieve through a book.

In our modern world everything appearantly has to be proved by scientist on order to be true, and so it is shown that spiritual texts has abilities to lower both blood pressure and bring about an immense sense of calm.
