Continuing the occasional practice of sharing books and resources that can be helpful in support of healing and wellbeing... This book from 1989 is a treasure, an edited collection of wisdom from a diverse group of healers with the goal of finding the golden thread of commonality that runs through healing processes.
Healers on Healing offers many perspectives from healing approaches ranging from medicine to mental health, ayurveda, metaphysics, and shamanism. This book can be helpful for practitioners, friends, and family members supporting others in healing, as well those who are experiencing illness themselves. It is full of love, beauty, and stories of physical, emotional and spiritual healing.
This is a good read for those in helping professions looking for new perspectives and inspiration. Having 37 short essays makes it easy to dip into the book and spend time with any topic that feels relevant without having to go in order.
The sections of the book give an idea of the themes covered:
· Love is the Healer
· Returning to Wholeness
· The Healer Within
· The Healing Relationship
· The Role of the Healer
· The Healing Attitude
· Consciousness and the Healing Response
· Healing as Our Birthright
I like this book as an opportunity to open to new ideas about how healing may come about. The act of focusing on the idea of healing and taking in information about it can itself begin or support the process.
