4.0 out of 5 stars This is definitely worth a listen, February 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Clearing Your Past (Audio Cassette)

This tape describes a process of inner work that I think has great potential. One basis of this process is that the author, who experienced serious abuse as a child, feels most "talk therapy" has limited value, and that instead of going to a therapist (or, in addition to, optionally), this process has the ability to *truly* and permanently heal your past. This is something you can do by yourself at home, easily. At times, particularly during the beginning, the tape may seeme rudimentary (inner child, trauma, unconscious mind, etc.), but on the other hand it's very comprehensive and is a necessary foundation, and plenty more awaits. Later, the power of the tape comes through. She describes a "meditative" (for lack of a better word) process which is the core of the tape, but she includes a LOT of other techniques, processes, strategies, viewpoints, visualizations, etc. She does not shy away from the spiritual domain, fortunately. I have just added this to my regular meditation time, and so far think it has great value. Anyone familiar with Victor Sanchez's (Teachings of Castaneda) "recapitulation" process will find this familiar, as I did, but this is an easier (no special equipment), much more deeply developed process here. Anyone wanting to develop (or add to) a regular practice of self-healing or spiritual "work" should buy this tape.

I have to say that this book helped me on my way to recovery. It gave me alot of insight and helped me to see me for me. It changed my life! This book is proven effective, the exercises are helpful and makes it not as painful as we think it will be. I say this is great therapy! If you want it, it's a great start!
