About the Authors
Sabine and Keith have more than thirty years of experience working with individuals and families in North America, Europe, and Africa. In addition to the techniques they personally developed, theyve drawn inspiration and technical knowledge from ancient Yoga, Tantra, Taoism, and Chinese Medicine, as well as modern scientific research into nutrition, family constellations, and parenting.
Keith Sherwood is a master of the four classical Yogas. He is the author of nine books on energy work, healing, and transcendent relationship. The exercises, mudras, and meditations that he has developed are used throughout Europe and North America by healers and energy practitioners to heal physical disease, deep traumas, karmic wounds, and energetic blockages. His ability to see and analyze subtle fields of energy and consciousness has been instrumental in helping people achieve their spiritual goals.
Sabine Wittmann was born in Salzburg, Austria, and graduated from Heilpraktiker (Natural Healer) School in Munich, Germany. In 1997, she opened a private practice for energy healing in Berlin. She has been giving lectures and seminars, as well as writing articles, in Germany, Austria, and Turkey for more than ten years. In 2014, she co-authored Energy Healing for Women , which was published by Llewellyn Worldwide.
Sabine currently specializes in womens issues, focusing particularly on the psychological and energetic issues surrounding fertility. As a practitioner of energy work, homeopathy, and several whole-body therapies, she has seen firsthand how conditioning and subtle cultural prejudices still adversely affect the energetic and physical health of women. Her goal is to help modern women become more creative, radiant, joyful, and free.
Together, Keith and Sabine have created a holistic system that can enhance compatibility and demonstrate that family members have the innate power to overcome even the most divisive relationship patterns.
Through their timely intervention and ability to release distorted fields of energy and consciousness, Keith and Sabine have empowered parents and children who have struggled to nurture one another and achieve lasting intimate relationships. Theyve helped relationship partners overcome sexual patterns that have driven them apart. Theyve taught couples how to make decisions that were life-affirming and that enhanced family relationships. And theyve helped family members overcome trauma scars in their subtle field and energetic poisons that they inherited from their birth families and which, in this incarnation, have created self-limiting patterns that disrupt family relationships.
By using the information and techniques theyve developed, you will be able to achieve deeper levels of communication, trust, and intimacy that you and your family members have wanted to experience but never thought were possible.

Introduction
Andrew and his first wife were divorced in 2002. Shortly after their divorce, Andrews son and daughter refused to have any further contact with him. He was heartbroken, but eventually accepted their decision. Several years later, he remarried and to his dismay the pattern repeated itself with his two adult step-children. Although none of the children involved would have contact with him, they ultimately disclosed how they felt to their respective mothers, who shared what theyd heard with Andrew during the process of deep family healing.
According to both women, the crux of the problem was a huge blind spot that blocked Andrews empathy and prevented him from caring for anyone but himself. To compound the problem, Andrew was unable to express any emotion except anger. To heal the family dynamic, we asked Andrew to reflect on what hed heardand to find out everything he could about the pattern, including how it developed and how it had influenced his family relationships. Andrew found this difficult to do because he had no experience reflecting on himself.
In an effort to help him, we taught him to create his own healing space and to center his awareness inside his body, soul, and spirit. From experience, we knew that this exercise could help him get in touch with his emotions. It would also make it easier for him to reflect on who he was and what motivated him to act the way he did. It was gratifying for us to see Andrews progress and the changes he experienced once he began to perform the exercise.
