" Nothing is as extraordinary as recognizing your place in this
world.”
Caroline Myss
began her professional career as a journalist in 1974. After completing
her Master's degree, she co-founded Stillpoint Publishing in 1983 in
Walpole, New Hampshire. From 1983 to 1990, Caroline worked as head of
the editorial department for her publishing company, which produced
an average of ten books per year in the field of human consciousness
and holistic health. Simultaneously Caroline began her career as a medical
intuitive. In 1984, Caroline met C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., a Harvard-trained
neurosurgeon who had an interest in the science of medical intuition.
They began a colleague ship that continues to this day. During their
early years together, Norm helped Caroline develop her skills by having
her conduct health readings on his patients. During Norm's interview
with a patient in his office in Springfield, Mo., he would phone Caroline
for her assessment of the patient's health. The only information Caroline
requires is the name and age of a patient and his or her permission.
From that data, Caroline is able to profile the patient's physical/psychological/emotional
and family history.
Through this research, Caroline developed the
field of Energy Anatomy, a science that partners specific emotional/
psychological/physical/spiritual stress patterns with the diseases that
they create or influence. This research proved so accurate that it became
the subject matter of a book CO-written by Caroline and Norm: THE CREATION
OF HEALTH. Eventually this groundbreaking research became standard classroom
material for students studying the principles of holistic health, psychological
stress patterns, and the alternative methods of healing.
As a result of this work, Caroline earned a national as
well as international reputation as a renowned medical intuitive. She
is respected as the leading pioneer in the field and as a result of
her work in opening this field, more than ten thousand practitioners
are now active in the health field. From 1992 to 2004, Caroline and
Norm developed an educational program to teach the Science of Medical
Intuition. In 1996, they founded the Institute for the Science of Medical
Intuition, which funds research in the field. This Institute remains
active.
In 1996, Caroline Myss compiled her years of research
in medical intuition with her work in the field of human consciousness,
releasing the book ANATOMY OF THE SPIRIT.
This book became a New York Times bestseller and has been published
in 18 languages. To date it has sold over 1.5 million copies. Eighteen
years of research in medical intuition led Caroline to explore more
deeply the field of holistic health, specifically, the dynamics of healing.
Her research in this resulted in her study of why people do not heal.
In investigating the underlying reasons why people sabotage their healing
processes, Caroline identified a syndrome she calls "woundology,"
characterized by a person's reliance on the power of illness for manipulation
of his or her world, as opposed to attaining an independent, empowered
state of health. As with her other ground-breaking research, this syndrome
is now a recognized psychological condition. Her work in this area became
the subject for her third book, WHY PEOPLE
DON'T HEAL AND HOW THEY CAN. This book was Caroline's
second New York Times bestseller.
Following that research, Caroline developed her interest in the
language of symbols, myths, and archetypes. Her medical intuitive readings
expanded beyond gathering data on health stress patterns to including
the symbolic language inherent to each individual. As a result of that
research, Caroline was able to profile an individual's "Sacred
Contract," a complex of 12 archetypal patterns that reflect in
mythic language the agreements the soul made prior to birth. This research
opened an entirely new area of work that drew interest from around the
globe. As a result of this work, Caroline released her fourth book,
SACRED CONTRACTS, which became her third New York Times bestseller.
This book has also been published in 18 languages and reports sales
of well over 1.6 million copies.
In 2003, based on the interest generated by her work in
Sacred Contracts, Caroline opened her own educational institute. CMED
(Caroline Myss Education) offers two programs per year, each three sessions
long. The first is on Sacred Contracts and the second is on Mysticism,
Intuition, and Healing. The Institute draws students from nineteen nations
as well as across the United States.
In 2004, Caroline released her fifth book, INVISIBLE ACTS
OF POWER, which also became a New York Times bestseller. She is now
working on her sixth book, ENTERING THE CASTLE,
as well as her media project on the mystical history of America, which
includes the book, THE SACRED CONTRACT OF AMERICA.
Throughout her career, Caroline has taught in thirty-five
countries, continuing her international work at present. In addition
to writing six books, Caroline is the leading recording artist for Sounds
True, Inc., the major audio recording company in the holistic field.
She has recorded with them since 1990, producing 30 different titles.
Her entire library of recordings now numbers over 180. In 2003, Oprah
Winfrey gave Caroline her own television program with the OXYGEN
network in New York City, which ran successfully for one year. Caroline
does an average of six radio shows per month and five newspaper or magazine
interviews in both national and international publications.
Caroline Myss Contemporary Mystics and my beloved Teacher
Caroline Myss said “I believe that we very much make contracts
before we incarnate. We make contracts that are directed toward our
personal empowerment, toward the expansion of our hearts, and toward
the expansion of our contribution to the group soul of humanity.”
