The Language of the Soul: Healing with Words of Truth (Trans-Generational Healing & Family Constellations series) [Paperback]

John L. Payne (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 28, 2006 | Series: Trans-Generational Healing & Family Constellations series (Book 2)

Enriched by numerous case studies and years of client experience, this book guides readers to move beyond the tangled web of stories they tell themselves and others about their lives, relationships, illnesses, and disruptive life patterns. Step-by-step, the chapters uncover the origins of behaviors and feelings such as drug or alcohol addiction, failed careers, and depression. Hidden loyalties to people and ideas are introduced as the underlying causes of these obstacles, which cloud the path to success and cause people to believe the stories they tell themselves, eventually losing touch with the truth. Through the examples in this book, readers will learn to acknowledge and embrace truth, spelling out the explicit facts and rejecting the fictions they have created to excuse their failings.

Review

"John Payne has devised a forum where the soul's truth speaks, clearly and profoundly."  —Donna Eden, author, Energy Medicine

"Far more than another good book...Walk through it and be forever changed."  —Debbie Ford, author, Spiritual Divorce

From the Back Cover

Most of us live our lives through our own perception of truth, much of it either being an illusion ir a straightforward lie. So how do we develop these multiple versions of truth and, more importantly, how do these versions of truth, or stories we have told ourselves, sabotage our lives? In this book, the author takes you on a journey where you will not only intellectually understand the language of the soul, but begin to feel its unwavering truth resonate throughout your entire being and touch your heart in some way.

Written with penetrating honesty and uplifting clarity, The Language of the Soul is far more than another good book. As a teacher of extraordinary insight, intelligence and wisdom, John Payne offers a doorway into a life of emotional depth and wholeness, where you can finally be free of the gravitational pull of the past. Walk through it and be forever changed. --Debbie Ford, author of Spiritual Divorce

5.0 out of 5 stars Are You Telling Your Truth?, May 1, 2007

By 

Laura Turner "Author, Editor" (New York, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Language of the Soul: Healing with Words of Truth (Trans-Generational Healing & Family Constellations series) (Paperback)

Are you telling your truth? Whether you are or you're not, your soul knows the answer. And if the story you are telling the world is not your authentic one, this could not only affect your health and your relationships, but the future of this and all generations to come. How do we know if we are telling our truth? By listening to the language of our soul. It is here we must answer the hard questions. The deep questions. The questions that answer what created the pain we may be experiencing in the first place. And this pain can run the gamut, from destructive behaviors, deep feelings and addiction to career challenges, relationships and depression.

In his book Language of The Soul, author, metaphysical teacher and personal coach, John L. Payne, helps readers with this soul work. In the book, he uses the help of "human characters" to bring forward the truth. Once the truth is out in the open and the source is discovered, the wounds can be healed. The Language Of the Soul does its work by using what Payne calls a family "constellation." In my assessment a constellation is a chosen team representing core family or human members active in the roles that stand between us and our truth. Once chosen, Payne creates a sort of "reading": a tuning in to the channel of the soul to learn both what it wants and how to best express its truth.

On the outside, this all seems confusing at first. Yet, after reading the Language of the Soul, I found its immediate take home message: we must all take a personal responsibility to heal the wounds that plague our selves and our families. Payne's book can help. For in healing our own souls, we can help our past, present and future generations. Payne explains here the depth of this work, as well as gives readers the tools they need to heal their wounds for good.

I loved this book. It has so many real examples from workshops and helps the work come alive. I have also attended workshops with John Payne and they are extremely powerful and dramatic things happen just like it says in the book. This book and this work expands my way of seeing people, problems and myself.

Very reader friendly! John Payne's writing style is refreshingly succinct and his use of diagrams is very helpful. This book provides great insight and knowledge of the healing words which cut to the heart of Constellations work.
