Lifting Your Spirits. 7 tools for coping with illness
Description
Lifting Your Spirits is a unique and practical audio guide designed to help people coping with illness or disability. Drawing on the insights of those who have experienced the challenges of serious illness, it introduces seven simple tools to develop inner strength and enhance well-being on all levels. Each tool offers practical and inspiring ways of dealing with the physical and emotional upheaval and uncertainty which illness presents. Some focus on preparing for surgery and treatment, others on coping with pain, anxiety or depression. Each chapter contains background information, illustrative examples, ideas for practice, and meditations for deep, healing relaxation.
The guide can be used by individuals for their own sustenance, or introduced into patient support groups, treatment and therapy centres, hospices, day centres and other healthcare services.

She was involved in editing, co-writing and producing Values in Healthcare: a spiritual approach, a modular development programme for healthcare practitioners published by the Janki Foundation for Spirituality in Health Care in 2004.
