| This book is a personal narrative detailing a transformative healing journey. Fifty years after polio struck Deborah's little three-year-old body, she was diagnosed with post-polio syndrome, with its overwhelming fatigue and muscle weakening. But, she did not accept the possibility of losing the use of her legs, again. Instead, she met the challenges head-on, healing her emotional wounds and strengthening her physical body. Her story is told through her experiences of learning essential life lessons - life lessons available to every person - to manifest a healing journey. Although her strong faith was developed through traditional religious beliefs, she discovered other spiritual realities, leading to an exploration of alternative healing methods. Learning the energy healing method of Reiki, finding solace in connecting with deceased relatives, and working through emotional issues with a shamanic intuitive healer are just a few of her experiences along this amazing path. Deborah's story resonates with anyone seeking mind, body, and spiritual healing. Every person can discover the power to heal. Believe And It Is True is a reality for all. |

Authentic and moving. Deborah Lloyd shares a down to earth and intimate story that will inspire courage, trust, and help us remember that 'miracles' are our human birthright. An unforgettable journey into the deeper, and often-overlooked, aspects of healing. (Llyn Roberts, M.A., Author of Shamanic Reiki and Shapeshifting into Higher Consciousness) By sharing her own courageous experiences with spiritual and physical healing, Deborah Lloyd inspires us to take the next step on our journey. The message of this book is one that radiates hope and encouragement for anyone seeking a more profound relationship with inner peace. (Carole J. Obley, Author of I'm Still with You)

I wish i had read this when i was in my thirties. Deborah Lloyd honestly tracks her healing journey after juvenile polio in a way that shows both her vulnerabilty and strength. I was particularly interested in the way she managed to merge her organised religion with her growing shamanic healing, Reiki and proof of spirit connection. this was an issue for me in my thirties that led to much angst along the way. i did not succeed and had to choose my new spiritual path. it is a dilemma I see often and will recommend this book not just for its story of her healing but also for her honesty in dealing with conflicting viewpoints. a wonderful read for anyone on a healing journey!

Format:Paperback
The first sentence of this book is "This book is unique" and it is; as any first person account of personal healing would be. Deborah Lloyd tells how she was struck with polio at age 3, underwent ligament and muscle transplants at age 7, and was diagnosed with post-polio syndrome as an adult. The 33 chapters document Lloyd's exploration of various alternative healing methods which improved her mental, physical, and spiritual states, and each chapter concludes with what she learned and wishes to communicate to readers.
Believe and it is True is interesting not only for the life lessons within it but in documenting Lloyd's path from the spiritual and medical mainstream to the alternative side roads which improved her life. Working as a psychotherapist led her to hiring a Reiki master, which in turn led to yoga, meditation, journaling, spirit work, and other healing methods which challenged her traditional Catholic upbringing. Eventually Llyod became a Reiki master herself and incorporated its methods into her work. As she says in her own words, "My story is simply one of a life journey. And, like all life journeys, it has been filled with ups and downs, sorrows and joys. It is an ongoing journey, one that is not yet finished."
Believe and it is True is a great read for anyone else in a similar healing process, or anyone who needs an introduction to alternative healing and spiritual methods written in an easy, conversational tone.
