In the RELUCTANT HEALER David Elliott helps you cut through the fog and reach the truth. Using the healing techniques offered here, you will be able unravel the truth about who you are and where you are going. There is no fluff or filler here, only honest straight talk and effective healing methods. The truth is you are a healer and there is work to be done to unearth your core. With humanity and caring David Elliott has plainly and simply laid out the steps you can take to uncover the truth about yourself.

While using the methods in this book as a guide I have reached achievements I once thought unattainable. I look forward to seeing how much is possible.

This review is from: The Reluctant Healer (Paperback)

I read this book on the recommendation of a friend, teacher and coach during a time when I was off studying about my own spirituality.

I was worried at first that this book would be too much overload on an otherwise throbbing mind and psyche, but it wasn't. It was thoughtful, insightful and invited me into the life Elliott leads. Sure, it's about him -- there's nothing that proclaims otherwise!

And that's what I wanted to know -- how does this life come about? This healing work? And how do you fit it into your own everyday perception of yourself? And the perception others have of you? More importantly -- does that perception matter?

This book truly helped me on this journey of mine and I'm glad it's in my library!

David Elliott's book was a profound journey. From the moment I picked it up I was pulled in, exploring things in my life in a way I never had. I was able to clearly see and understand how I had reached the place I had without blame or regret. From that clarity I used David Elliott's suggestions to map out my future. In the few short months since reading the book I have found that whole new opportunities have opened up for me in directions I never imagined myself taking. I have such freedom with myself and all situations I find myself in. This book is definitely worth reading
