Editorial Reviews

Review

In Simple Healing Tools, Carol Hansen Grey begins with stories from her own life that are short and to the point. She describes her circumstances and how she paid attention to information that came from intuition, body-messages, and teachers, and then tried something that changed her life for the better. She shares what has worked for her.

In the thirty stories and twenty-six tools she shares with us, it is very likely that there will be something for the reader who is drawn to open this book. If so, the synchronistic message from Eastern philosophy, "When the pupil is ready, the teacher will come," will turn out to be true.

Carol is down-to-earth practical and a spiritual seeker, she tells what has worked for her and shares what she has learned with us. These are words from a wise-woman, crone! --Jean Shinoda Bolen, MD, Author of Goddesses in Everywoman and Heeding the Urgent Message from Mother

This review is from: Simple Healing Tools: On the Path to Personal Empowerment and Inner Peace (Paperback)

this inspirational book is practical, thoughtful and i refer to it often as it reinforces my belief that i am on the right path... i like the fact that i can seek out the story that corresponds with what i'm feeling at the moment, feel uplifted by it and then go deeper by further reading the tool which gives me instant action to take... prior to reading this book, carol and her husband victor's "free yourself from fear" cd transformed the way i relate to what might be percieved as obstacles in my life and restored my sense of faith... this book is a great tool in itself for me to refer to in my day to day life as i delight in this amazing time where i find myself recreating myself and enjoying the process thanks to carol hansen grey! what a gift, i highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple - but powerful, May 4, 2009

This review is from: Simple Healing Tools: On the Path to Personal Empowerment and Inner Peace (Paperback)

This book just saved my marriage of 34 years. I was ready to throw it all in when Carol's book arrived in the mail. Thumbing through the book, I was drawn to story #9, Letting Go of Judgements. Then I skipped backwards to #8, Paying attention to the signals. Back and forth through the book I went, finding comfort in Carols stories and suggestions in the tools.

Before the book, my plan was to create a big scene to show my husband that I knew what was going on and how he was hurting me. Following some of the tools, I sat down and mediated on what I truly wanted. I discovered that what I wanted was a warm close relationship with husband built on trust. If I couldn't have that, I didn't want a relationship. Instead of big drama, I used the Healing Tools to create on of the best days of our marriage. We had a long and loving conversation. We are working on repairing our relationship by improving our communication and shared goals.

All this came about because Carol Hansen Grey has great wisdom and insights. She shares them with us in a very easy and accessible way. Thank you Carol!
