Step by step directions on return to wholness, it works!

Time honored ancient healing practices coincide with the laws of quantum physics, as Simon brings these two seemingly unrelated subjects together in a seamless cosmic dance. From the beginning of creation to the end of our physical lives and return to spirt we are taken on a journey supported by the latest theories on physics. Simon is able to take the Ayurvedic process apart and using conventional medical terms, he shows us how to be aware of the first subtle level of disease. Following our "instincts" regarding our mind body system, becomes the initial diagnosis tool. He gives us permission to feel rotten, trace it to an emotion, a stress or just a bad day, and then provides tools to deal with each such event before one stage leads to another and an unspeakable illness crops up diagnosed by x-ray or lab results. Giving credit to the intelligence of our own "machine" Simon leaves the responsibility with the owner. It is the first "owner's manual" I have seen for the human mindbody that makes sense. Traveling through the suggestions we are acquainted with parts of ourselves we knew existed but have gotten away from due to the flood of medial and sociatal pressures that tell us we have no control over anything in our world any more, not even our own body. Honoring and respecting ourselves just the way we are, and not buying into any other source of information that proceeds to tell us something we do not, in our hearts, believe, is the first step in the return to wholness. I found it enlightening, exciting, rejuvenating and honest. A well written manual for the beings we are today.
