From Library Journal
A best-selling author, frequent talk-show guest, and renowned speaker and workshop leader, Gawain here offers a new workbook for healing. She claims that humans are living spiritually and emotionally empty lives that are dangerously unbalanced. Only by balancing the four aspects?spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical?can people be successful and fulfilled. Each chapter investigates one of these aspects and ends with appropriate spiritual exercises. A minister for over 30 years who has conducted seminars on spiritual healing, Grayson by contrast stresses 13 principles for self-healing. Emphasizing that everyone has the ability to lead a happy, fulfilled life, Grayson claims that most people's lives are instead run by lack, loss, and limitation as well as resistance, rejection, and rebellion. Likening it to training for a marathon, Grayson discusses the great effort required to release past negativity and to prepare the path for spiritual healing. The appendix is complete with positive affirmations for spiritual treatments and a glossary of terms. Gawain's work is essential for public library collections for general readers; Grayson's book may be more satisfying for academics and could be considered additional reading for public library patrons.?Lisa S.

The Four Levels of Healing
When we think of health, or taking care of our health, most of us immediately think about diet and exercise. The physical: things that the doctor can test or measure and give us a prescription or give specific instructions to fix.

As human beings we are far more complex than just the physical. We are more than our bodies. We are our minds, our emotions, and our spirit. Therefore, in order to be truly healthy, we have to look at more than just one aspect. We have to look not only to the physical but also the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of ourselves.

The Four Levels of Healing is a good place to begin. This book looks at each aspect and describes how it contributes to our overall health. The author also includes some exercises to get the reader started.

The Four Levels of Healing: A Guide to Balancing the Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, and Physical Aspects of Life (Gawain, Shakti)
Shakti Gawain is Great and so is this book! This is a Fabulous book! A must read for anyone !

Another level
Shakti Gawain has been an inspiration to me for many years because of her book, Creative Visualization. With the four levels of healing, she provides another level with which to use and understand the power of the mind and spirit.

It is not as much fun to read as Creative Visualization but it is as good at "breaking new ground" and allowing the reader to use the knowledge and direction that is shared by Ms Gawain.
