Ten years ago I walked away from a job I loved. My passion for my work was crushed after I realized that the management did not share the same morals and business ethics that I believed in. I was completely devastated – it felt like a divorce. I couldn’t understand how this could happen to me – I truly believed I would work for this company forever. Now what?
Years later I am so grateful for that experience because it sent me down a path to discovering and creating a spiritual practice. In order to heal myself, I devoured every book I could find on intuitive guidance, life coaching, soul purpose and spiritual healing. It totally changed my life. I started my own business publishing a magazine, left unhealthy relationships, and finally felt like I had found my purpose again. Then, the most profound insight came from a meeting with the director of an energy medicine school. She said to me, in a whisper, “You see, at this school we believe that we are all spirits having a human experience.” There was a part of me in which that statement resonated so clearly and profoundly I knew it to be true to the very core of my being. This further inspired my journey into spirituality, mysticism, metaphysics and the understanding that we are so much more powerful than we realize. We are spirit having a human experience and we do, indeed, have the power to change our reality through thought. Because of this incredible journey, I was guided to create this book you’re holding in your hands. A collaboration of 20 spiritual healers from all areas of spirituality and healing practices provide wisdom and insight for those of you seeking what’s next; those of you struggling to find purpose, balance or spirituality in your life; and those of you who may be called to the healing profession.

Praise for “Essential Healing For Your Spirit And Soul”
“We all need life coaches to help us to find the truth and heal our lives, minds, bodies and spirit. Essential Healing can play that role for you. You don’t need to be awakened by a disaster. Let the wisdom of others be your guide. Read on and find your way.”

Author of A Book of Miracles and The Art of Healing
“This timeless book hijacked my heart and invited me to commence what became a profound journey. As I began the book I hoped that each chapter would seamlessly weave into the next, gently expanding the path created by its predecessors. It did not disappoint! Each story was a gentle turn of the kaleidoscope of compassion with unique facets just as beautiful and brilliant as the last. Most importantly, it reacquainted me with the common threads we share with each other and with all beings and how that Sacred Oneness is our true spiritual salvation. This timeless gem is filled with practical tools guaranteed to enrich our lives! It is a permanent resident of my library!”

“It was a pleasure to review Essential Healing For Your Spirit And Soul. I felt that the words just jumped off the pages to me. It warmed my heart to hear I could help myself by; Making a decision to keep an attitude of gratitude, Being present to Divine LOVE, Making a place to access Sacred Stillness…and so much more. I just want to soak it all up and I am sure that there are many other people who do also.”

“This book transforms the way we view life. ‘Healer, heal thyself’ is how I would describe the writers in this book. We are all a healer, and we can all heal with the grace and power of a higher Source than our very own being. We all have this power from within. It is given to all indeed. And these authors without a doubt know how to find it, explore it and share it with the world.”
