There are plenty of books that tell you what's wrong with you, or give you suggestions for fixing it. This book is different. ReSurfacing is a series of 30 exercises that give you the EXPERIENCE of being in control of your consciousness, rather than just adding more words to the words you already know. If you're ready to wake up into your real self, and take the steps that will move you forward, buy this book and do the exercises. You will feel different - more deliberate, more alive, more awake. There is also an audiotape version of the ReSurfacing Workshop available through Star's Edge International, the publisher of the Avatar materials. I also recommend doing the workshop with an Avatar teacher. There is a list of teachers available on the Star's Edge website. The ReSurfacing Workshop is the first two days of the nine-day Avatar Course. I've gotten so much value out of this training that I've begun to teach it myself. I recommend reading Living Deliberately, also by Harry Palmer, which is his story of his own awakening and the philosophy behind the training. Good stuff!

This is the best book I've ever read for personal transformation. It contains very simple exercises and tools that can be done solo or with a group that have made a major difference to the quality of my life. I can pull out one of the exercises to regain control when I'm feeling overwhelmed/stressed out at work. I can use others to simply still my mind. I've used them to shift my perspective on painful experiences - both past and present. I've used them to look at feelings, beliefs, and memories in a different way, to see them from another's perspective, and not to be controlled by the emotions they have usually generated. I've learned thorugh this book to easily slip into an observer's point of view, and then to move into a more universal perspective. The results I've achieved since reading the book in April 99 are life-changing, and I continue to get more out of them every time I use them. I would recommend this book for any use in your personal or working life. I can't begin to explain how wonderful the book is. I can only recommend that you buy it and try it for yourself!

These exercises are quite unique and lead a person lovingly and gently to explore their consiousness. I would recommend using the "Personality Profile" to begin the explorations. The exercises are immediately useful and practical and many can be used to attain clarity in many sorts of situations. I have used and continue to use some of the exercises which have become a part of my life. They are enjoyable to do also!!!

Prior to doing the exercises in ReSurfacing on an Avatar course, I'd read every book on consciousness, philosophy, self-help, and metaphysics I could get my hands on. Nothing - and I mean NOTHING - opened the door to exploring my own consciousness the way these books did. It will amaze and inspire you! Get this book along with Living Deliberately (also by Harry Palmer) and you're on your way to the most inspiring adventure you'll ever take. After you read them run, don't walk, to sign up for the next course you can find!

The exercise for developing compassion is worth the price of the book. I think that these exercises are really good, and will be valuable to most people reading the book.

I have been using the simple and powerful techniques since 1996 (and teaching the tools now)and I am amazed over and over again at how easy it is to use the tools in our daily lives,resolving anger, fear, guilt and judgements and extending more compassion to self and others. By knowing myself more, I am ever more aligned and at peace with who I am, and thus creating more joy in my world. Thanks again, Harry.

Remarkably useful book. Rarely does a day go by when i don't use these tools to improve the quality of my life. In minutes I can go from feeling stuck to having loads of free attention and appreciation. Imagine a course like this offered as part of our education, as children and adults.

As an Avatar Master, I have used the ReSurfacing book over and over again in the past six years, both personally and with students. The results are always fast and effective. The exercises are seemingly simple, yet can produce such profound, deep and lasting results. This book is a treasure that you can refer to each day to clear away whatever feels like it's in the way. The exercises can be done solo or with a guide. This book and Harry Palmer's Living Deliberately book are the foundation of Avatar. This book is a beautiful gift to humanity.

The old wisdom that says the simplest answer is the best is proven once again by this book. The exercises here may look simple at first reading but actually doing them and spending time taking them to depth produces amazing results.

I'm reminded of the value of practicing scales for building professional musical skills. Rather than providing esoteric or mystical instructions, Harry Palmer provides practical exercises that empower you to take control of your life.

I've used the exercises in this book over several years and still find them more effective than anything else I've tried.

A few weeks ago I did the resurfacing workshop which involves working through this book. The results have been amazing. I feel more in control of my life now and able to apply myself to the things I need to be doing. The exercises seemed to awaken something inside me. It is a strange feeling which I've never had before. I guess what makes these techniques powerful is that they don't impose any ideas on you. You come up with the answers yourself. I find anything that I come up with myself is always more powerful than anything anyone esle tells me.
If, despite all the self-help books you read, you still find that you are unable to achieve what you want, do this course is for you!
