A Mind of Your Own

A Mind of Your Own
Betty Shine

A Book for Life.‘Book for Life’, is a book which can be read once and then repeatedly dipped in to, a book wholly appropriate for the age of the soundbite and the ‘quick fix’.Arranged alphabetically, over 200 carefully selected keywords covering every eventuality lead the reader to a little of Betty’s unique philosophy of life, gathered over 40 years as a professional vitamin and mineral therapist and healer. This is followed by a short visualization – as you read it, it acts as a trigger for the imagination and for the self-healing process. Each keyword is also accompanied by a classic quotation to inspire the reader with age-old wisdom and demonstrate a certain stability in the human spirit, plus an affirmation to take with you when the book is closed.A Mind of Your Own is a book which will be welcomed by Betty Shine’s previous readers as well as an inspiration for those unfamiliar with her work. It will unlock the doors to your mind and the whole range of its emotions, and is probably the most significant work of Betty Shine’s long and distinguished career.

A good book is the precious life-blood

of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up

on purpose to a life beyond.

DEDICATION (#ulink_697bfdcd-6193-59a7-ab63-962597edcddf)

This book is dedicated to the memory

of my dear friend

MICHAEL BENTINE

From quiet homes and first beginning,

Out to the undiscovered ends,

There’s nothing worth the wear of winning,

But laughter and the love of friends.

HILAIRE BELLOC

1870–1953
