5.0 out of 5 stars An Effective Spiritual Healing Resource, November 8, 2008

This review is from: Alternative Healing, The Sufi Way (Paperback)

Alternative Healing - The Sufi Way - I found this book to be extremely effective in its content - specially if you are a Sufi and are inclined towards healing. The healing techniques are very traditional and centuries old that provide immediate relief if followed as recommended. A must have for everyone who would like to heal others, as it covers from special methods, diagnosis, of specific ailments like cancer including protection and security from the unseen world with the help of geometric diagrams (Taweez). I did put one geometric diagram to test and was amazed. The author primarily focusses on the spiritual aspects of the healing techniques in quite detail. The book has a lot of healing secrets in the form of techniques revealed which are quite fascinating when you try them. Lastly, the author Shaykh Taner's Chicken Rice Soup recipe in the appendix section was a real life saver during flu. Its a highly recommended reading and a good investment for long lasting spiritual well being for you and your family at a fraction of the price. Was worth an addition to my bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful recipes for healing, November 26, 2008

By 

a customer - See all my reviews

This review is from: Alternative Healing, The Sufi Way (Paperback)

Along with the many remedies for a variety of ailments, the book includes some wonderful tea and soup recipes. Shaykh Taner's Chicken Rice Soup and an immunity booster soup "Pacha" are our family's favorites during times of cold/flu. There is a typographical error for the chicken rice soup: 12 cups of water are needed.

It's a wonderful resource book full of useful knowledge!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the real thing, November 10, 2008

By 

forest walker (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Alternative Healing, The Sufi Way (Paperback)

This book contains remedies that clearly come from a powerful traditional source. Our daughter was suffering from nightmares almost every night, and it was very distressing. The very FIRST night we used the remedy for nightmares given in this book, they stopped. She has been clear of them since then, with only one bad dream in months. The book is full of remedies that are straightforward and well-explained. It is far beyond your typical self-help book, and is definitely a manual stemming from a real lineage. Thank you to the author for making this knowledge accessible!
