Introduction

What You Will Learn

My work with groups and individuals has taught me that what most people want is an easy-to-use book that will provide them with everything they need to perform healing on themselves and other people. The Art of Spiritual Healing has been revised to meet those needs and more. You dont have to have any experience with energy work or healing to benefit from it. Its the perfect book for anyone ready and willing to embrace the healing energy and consciousness they have in abundance and use it to restore their body, soul, and spirit to a level of radiant good health.

I wrote the original edition of The Art of Spiritual Healing more than thirty years ago and it has helped people in more than twenty-five countries to perform healing safely and effectively. However, since that time much has changed. As a result, I have expanded the scope of the original book beyond healing physical disease. The revised edition includes chapters on healing energetic traumas as well as chapters devoted to healing relationships and maintaining wellness in an ever more complex and stressful world. Ive also streamlined and simplified many of the original healing techniques to make them more accessible to people seeking to heal themselves, their relationships, and their clients.

The revised edition of The Art of Spiritual Healing has been divided into four parts. In part one, you will learn how to use healing energy and consciousness to help those in need. You will also learn to center yourself in your strong center in your physical body and subtle field. You may not be aware of it, but every human being has a subtle field that interpenetrates their physical body. This fieldand the energy and consciousness radiating through itplays a vital part in maintaining good health and healing disease.
