Product Description

This joyously inspirational Spiritual book presents a set of beliefs about the meaning and purpose of life from a Cosmic Perspective that combines Twelve Step Recovery Principles with Ancient Metaphysical Truths. It explains why a New Age has dawned in human consciousness on planet Earth and explores the interrelationship between subjects that range from the Bible, Buddha, and Jesus to quantum physics, molecular biology, and AIDS. The belief system the book is based upon is exemplified by this quote from The Dance of Wounded Souls: "We are not sinful, shameful human creatures who have to somehow earn Spirituality. We are Spiritual Beings having a human experience. We are here to experience and learn, to Touch and to feel." The author, a therapist who specializes in codependence/inner child healing, not only explains the big picture of how we are all ONE, part of one Cosmic energy interaction that is unfolding perfectly, he also offers insights into how the individual being can lovingly change their relationship with self and life in order to transform their human experience into a much more enjoyable adventure. This is a life-changing, life-affirming book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding in this little understood field of need, October 4, 2001

By A Customer

I literally owe my life to Robert Burney, his inner child counseling and his wonderful book. I was one of the most negative, depressive, miserable human beings you could ever hope (not) to meet at times, prior to being led by Spirit to my discovery of this knowledgable, honest, compassionate healing pioneer in the baffling, deeply painful disorder that has been labeled "codependency". After spending HOURS studying his website ... I bought his book (and tape set) for myself, and copies for all three of my children. The resultant healing I am finally implementing after 55 years of living was never going to happen with conventional psychotherapy. Mr. Burney's innovative & viable approach to healing the wounded child within has been a godsend. I wish this book could have been required reading for every teacher, parent, president, counselor and influential adult on the planet from creation onward.....of course, that isn't possible, but it would have made the peaceful, beautiful happy world that all of us have envisioned for many generations, become a reality. If you suffer from low self-esteem, depression, (or alcoholism or other addictions) or you know someone with any combination of these personal agonies, then you could help yourself (&/or these loved ones) & buy this healing book or tapes. Later, perhaps you might also decide to add counseling by telephone with this lifesaving therapist/author, because it works, & it feels so good to truly value myself & my own life for the first time. I honestly cannot say enough in favor of this awesome man & his work. Get the bumper sticker too: ~~Work for World Peace ~Heal Your Inner Child~~
Namaste Om Shanti! A much happier DLM

3.0 out of 5 stars Codependence / The Dance of Wounded Souls, September 12, 2002

By	Maureen (OHIO USA) - See all my reviews

The quality of information in this very small book (only 127 pages) depends on the depth of your own personal journey of healing. Burney spins a silver thread of basic Jungian philosophy of spirituality that illuminates his own journey. We are spiritual beings created perfectly by God, learning about life and how to get back to God in a physical body. That's it. This is the extent of Burney's entire message. If you are just beginning, this book may offer rich insights for your spiritual growth. If you have been searching for depth beyond the quagmire of self-help books and seminars that have been available for the past twenty years, and/or you are seeking and searching beyond your personal work through a "twelve step" program and meeting, this author offers a mere one-minute-review of many notables. My rating is "disappointed" for the price of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Way To Open Up Your Mind and Heart, July 6, 2000

By A Customer

The Dance of Wounded Souls provides the 'big picture' of perhaps why we are here and what our focus truly is on this planet. I would encourage anyone who is feeling lost, stuck, alone, grief stricken, confused or even just complacent to pick this up and read it carefully.

While the style is not written in novel format, the ideas presented are sequential and understandable, with each turned page the 'Aha' feeling, that ringing of truth will keep you turning to the next and wanting more.

I am anxiously awaiting Mr. Burney's trilogy.
