Book Description

Review
"Mary Jo is a friend as well as a graduate of Holos University Graduate Seminary. Her book is the culmination of her personal experience of over 500 dreams, which assisted her in recovering from a 7 year bout of chronic pain which had defied all that conventional medicine had to offer. This inspiring book includes 41 of her most powerful dreams. I have often said that 10 dream experts would give you at least 12 interpretations of a given dream. Mary Jo is truly a dream expert whose dream interpretations were transformational! Interestingly, Mary Jo developed remarkable waking dreams, spontaneous imagery that led her to recovery. I am most grateful to have played a small part in her journey, which began with our Biogenics® training program. Of course, her development of powerful archetypal patterns is itself unique and one of the reasons her work is so important. DREAM POWER is a true story of the benefits of the holistic approach to all illness. The results of her dream work provide an example of the transformative power of the mind-body-spirit. Indeed she became her own therapist. Now she is continuing as a spiritual inspirational speaker. Her work suggests in-depth Jungian insight, truly guided by her own wise guides. If you have never benefited from your own dreams, I urge you to read this book and use it as a catalyst for your own journey to Individuation. In many respects this is a story of self-therapy at its finest. I quote just one of her poetic dreams: "A wise One beckons me off my path. He tells me that he and his friends are helping to build my spiritual house. He says that I may come in the house but that it is not quite finished. I enter through a door marked Wisdom under an arch called Protection. The floors are Faith covered with Humility. The walls are Pure Intuition covered with Discernment. The roof is woven of Love and Integrity-A large plant grows in the middle of the room. Three large white roses are in bloom. They are Fulfillment, Health and Hope-There is a balcony all around called Vision and Insight. This image is, I believe, a classic work of the Holy Spirit, and I believe that this building of my spiritual house was crucial and timely in my healing." I encourage you to read, enjoy and build your own Spiritual House!" --C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D.

Journey yourself well . . .,
This review is from: Dream Power: Can Our Dreams Make Us Well? (Paperback)
Bookstores are filled with promises of easy one-step responses to deep and complex problems. Dream Power breaks from the pack by offering a simple tool with limitless applications. The author, Davis-Grant, brings the rich tradition of archetype alive, makes it accessible and easy to use for all of us. Combining the author's personal healing journey with a lifetime of work as a therapist, teacher, and community activist, Dream-Power charts a map that any of us can use. As an extra bonus in my own work with people, Dream-Power is one of the few books in this genre equally appropriate for anyone -- Buddhist, traditional Christian, Agnostic, or on the cutting edge of the new age.

Dream Power, by Mary Jo Davis-Grant,
By David Weible (Champaign, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dream Power: Can Our Dreams Make Us Well? (Paperback)
If life is a journey, pilgrimage, creative process or adventure for you, there is probably more going on within than you realize. Becoming a whole person involves knowing what the inner dynamics are about. Mary Jo Davis-Grant shares her "waking dreams" that led her to insight and healing. She answers the question, "Do my dreams mean anything?" with "Yes." As a wakeful dreamer myself in search of meanings in my dreams, I found Mary Jo's story to be encouraging, and her dream analysis gives clues about how I can understand my own dreams. Anyone who dreams and seeks healing through those dreams can benefit from this book. Mary Jo's work with images, archetypes, myth, belief, family teachings and suffering will guide others in discovering their own personal dynamics.

The Power of the Mind,
By
This review is from: Dream Power: Can Our Dreams Make Us Well? (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for reaffirming the power of the mind to heal the body. Through a form of meditation the author imaged her way to health. I have long believed this to be possible and am so comforted to be able to read about someone who has actually accomplished it! I highly recommend this to all who believe and those who are teetering on believing in the awesome power of the mind.
