Heal Your Self with Writing launches Aug-Sept 2013

  Having your book published is a little like putting a message in a bottle then tossing it into the ocean.

Heal Your Self with Writing launches this week, so here goes!!! Have been doing several radio interviews organized by the publicist. The only problem is so far they are all live from the East Coast. So this morning I was interviewed at 5:30 AM! Ah, what we do for love, right?

In the Introduction, I quote J. K. Rowling from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets:

“It’s all right, it’s over. It’s only a memory.”

Our lives may be determined less by past events than by the way we remember them. If we learn how to reframe the pieces of our past and re-vision our life story so that suffering becomes meaningful, we can radically boost our chances of healing, empowerment, growth, and transformation. Focused journaling – short writing exercises designed to facilitate self-healing – is an extremely powerful tool to achieve this aim.

This book began as a workshop at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA then later at Omega Institute in New York and also at Alternatives in London, UK. It was called life-changing and the hearty response inspired me to expand the material into this new book.

Writing is the greatest therapy I know. It is my hope that this book and its exercises will do the same for others.

Here is a short excerpt from our first review:

” I loved the book, mostly because it is filled with writing exercises inspired by spirituality and wisdom; and so the exercises can have transcendent healing effects. Heal Your Self with Writing is an elixir for the soul.”
