Description
When Adrian Smith was exposed to asbestos and mould at his workplace at the age of forty, he became extremely ill. Ten years later, he experienced a major relapse that permanently damaged his central nervous system, affecting every aspect of his life. Told he would not live to sixty if he didn’t significantly change his lifestyle, Adrian began to work on preventing further illness, then on maintaining whatever health he could find. But he fell into a cycle of setback and recovery, over and over. It was a cycle he could only free himself from when he realized that instead of prevention and maintenance, he needed to focus on creation—specifically, creating health. Creating health is a model of intentional living where a person moves from habit to routine to ritual, and if you are in dire need of healing, the difference can be life changing.
In Island Healing, Adrian shares his twelve essential steps to creating health and wellness, drawn from his personal experience as well the wisdom of philosophers, writers, and medical professionals. And he shares the ways in which for him, Prince Edward Island is itself a channel for healing.
