great read,
This review is from: The Art of being a Healing Presence (Paperback)
This book is a great read for those in a care giving role, whether personally or professionally. It is very easy reading, and hits home. It is a very simple technique, you are probably already engaged in some of the tasks it takes to be a healing presence, but may not realize it.

This review is from: The Art of being a Healing Presence (Paperback)
Amazing, easy to read, offering instructions on how to become healing presence for others. I was drawn to this book after being given the gift of healing presence by a hospital Chaplain after losing a baby. This is the real macoy!

What is a healer?,
By
This review is from: The Art of being a Healing Presence (Paperback)
The Art of being a Healing Presence
"...what a healer is. It's someone, who can see your movement toward wholeness more clearly than you're able to yourself at a given point in time." This is a simple and easy to understand description of how to create healing space and provide a healing presence. It is a beautiful book in its simplicity. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to be a helpful presence. Mike
