I must confess to always having reservations about 'channelled books'. I have often wondered why our disembodied brethren from the misty beyond are so often dull, prone to cliché and the sin of over-simplification! Imagine my delight, then, in reading this important and well-constructed book, to having these reservations blown away in the first three minutes!

What is needed as we enter this Millennium is a new primer for the many new emerging methodologies of healing, and this book is as good as any. As H A via Tony Neate points out, 'The days of the healer bringing 'God energy' to make a person whole, is a thing of the past.' Today, 'Healing is no longer about curing but about our becoming more conscious at all levels.'

The book is divided into different chapters for the many different categories of healing. It begins with a chapter on Karmic healing, and goes on to what is referred to as Advanced Energy healing, which is about 'the power of thought being applied to those imbalances that are the true cause of all disease.' A fascinating description follows on Conceptual healing, addressing the different kinds of difficulty that 'enter us' in the process of our being born, after which we hear about Ancestral healing or how to heal the wounds passed down to us through the generations. The chapter on Homeopathic healing is very insightful, as is that on Archetypal healing, 'Being the energy we carry from the group soul, i.e., the political, religious and collective beliefs, with which we have been associated.'

What then follows are very innovative ways of addressing 'unfinished business' from Past Lives, and how we may rid ourselves of Spirit Attachments - old-style exorcism is a thing of the past. After this comes an important chapter on the challenges of healing our planet. Other chapters follow which give important new insights into topics such as cancer, death, drugs and terrorism, all of which allow us to see our own personal wounding as it relates to imbalances and dysfunctions out in the world as a whole.

This book is chock full of excellent healing techniques and exercises. Very important are those chapters explaining how we can protect ourselves against negative energy and keep inwardly clear! I see this book not only as a 'must' for people who want to expand their own capabilities for self healing (I have used many of the processes here on myself), but also as essential reading for those in all the many different branches of the healing professions. Speaking as a psychotherapist, I have also used many of the exercises suggested here on my clients, again with excellent results. It is my sincere hope, therefore, that this important book is able to reach that wider audience that it deserves and that many others benefit from it as I have done.
