A. I have a passion for learning how healing power acts as an antidote to pain and devastation. I have studied with the teachers, masters, and gurus of psychology, psychiatry, and spirituality, searching their models with a fine toothcomb, looking
for elements that strengthen our ability to heal.

Understanding the torment life brings while experiencing its beauty, grace, and healing power, I have developed a ten-step self-help model that I use myself and teach to my students and patients.

The purpose of the book and institute is to share this model with a wider audience, those interested in doing spiritual work to stimulate healing power. The model can be used by:

1. Health care professionals interested in helping their patients increase their pain management skills and heal. The model supplements the healing practices of all medical specialties including mental health, substance abuse, and alternative health care.
   
   
2. Healthcare consumers looking for help in managing any symptom, disease, or disability.
   
   
3. Spiritual counselors.
   
   
4. Seekers in crisis struggling with severe problems.
   
   
5. Beginning or advanced seekers of spiritual knowledge.
   
   
6. People who want help with any pain or problem.
   
   
7. The intellectually curious.
   
   

The model is for group or personal use. Healthcare professionals and physicians can teach the ten steps to their patients in hospitals and clinics. The model is also suited for self-help groups in the community.

I envision self-help groups cropping up wherever there is interest. All one has to do is buy a book and start a spiritual practice. Then find some others to do this work with you, form a group, and follow the group guidelines. Its all set up and ready to go. You just need a book, some like-minded people, and a living room in somebody’s house. There are no other expenses or requirements. The healing power is in each one of us, always accessible, waiting to be tapped, free of cost.
