This is an excellent book on many levels. 

First, it tells the story of the author, who worked her way through a series of therapies on her journey out of Multiple Sclerosis, including spiritual healing as an important component in this healing.  (See article in this issue of IJHC for brief details.)

Next, it describes how Gardener developed her own healing gifts, which appear to be considerable. She went on to build a modest school for healing, teaching others more quickly the various therapies it had taken her over a decade to discover and develop – at great personal and financial (over $80,000) cost.

Clinical vignettes of impressive healings are interwoven with the descriptions of her healing approaches.

This reviewer is particularly pleased to find another healer who strongly advocates clearing of emotional dross as an important, often essential, aspect of healing. Even more interesting are healings that Gardener describes in which psychological issues are cleared energetically without the conscious awareness of the healee.

Craniosacral therapy identifies bioenergetic rhythms around the head and sacrum. Gardener has expanded on this, identifying a variety of energetic rhythms in the body that allow access to deep healings, even of people who are in coma.

Another aspect of Gardener’s healing process is the frequent use of multiple healers to work simultaneously on the same healee. This reduces the ego involvement and increases the intensity of the healing process.

Gardener and her colleagues have taken on people with extremely complex and serious physical and psychological problems, with some outstanding successes. For instance, having overcome her own MS, Gardener has also been able to help others with this problem. 
Here is a small excerpt from a lengthy description of the healing process of a woman who was told by her chiropractor that her physical problems – which included Lupus, Lyme Disease, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (among others) – would not clear until she worked on her emotional issues.

A desperately sick body means a very broken heart. And this woman seemed tgo put all of her emotions into physical symptoms. To make emotions so unsafe that it is better to hurt yourself rather than to feel them, made me think Beatrice had a disturbed childhood…

After a long series of healing treatments, over many months,

…I suggested she do a rebirth of herself in love. With a team of people, we held her, and played music. We asked God’s help to renew her soul, so fragmented and unloved with a new being who was cherished and cared for by God.

As I held her neck and head, I felt a vibration, a quickening, and a movement rushes through her body.  I knew I felt a special love, and prayed Beatrice did too. Beatrice completely claimed the new birth of new life. She said she felt that inside herself she had a new innocent center untouched by her personal tragedies.

This new self came from a gift from God. I believe God’s love interacts through the field of gravity to open and heal us. What Beatrice needed was a new central core to use as a foundation to build a new life. God supplied a love that blossomed into a self unafraid of death…

Beatrice’s new being was the center around which we grew a new body, built from the fragments and ashes of her sick body. Now her remembered childhood tragedies were transformed into wisdom that allowed her to be herself and realize she was precious. Then the body memory released and new movement and health continued to grow and surround her new inner core.

This book is very highly recommended for all levels of readers, from novices in healing to the most advanced. Items of unusual interest include: dealing with genetically inherited guilt; dealing with rhythms within the body to bring about healings (see article), love and higher awarenesses in healing.
