Summary: The heart is door to mind-body-spirit connection
Review: What an open, heart-felt, personal sharing of healing! Naomi uses the story of her life, traumas, struggles and triumphs to inspire hope and inform and transform lives. Her astonishing recovery from Hepatitis-C (in the face of doctors who doomed her to certain death) is enough to make anyone stand up and pay attention. Even more valuable is the walk through which Naomi takes us as we experience the ups and downs, the tests and (seeming) failures on this harsh road. She frequently revisits the importance of her faith along this arduous journey, and shows us how that faith was not a neat bundle dropped easily in her lap but how she had to keep reaching out for it and for Divine Assistance, and for the help of friends who were instruments of that Assistance. Naomi's book offers a real (and realistic) boost for hope during anyone's darkest, most challenging hours. She relates how she accepted and tapped into the Gifts she was given through the most diverse sources - medical, alternative-medical, family, friends... inner connection through prayer, meditation, yoga... some things that might surprise some fans. Wonderful quotes from sages and saints and singers throughout the ages sparkle in the pages, along with engaging introductions to the sources that came to her aid (ranging from Christ to doctors and psychologists and teachers). She guides you to personal steps you can pursue to bolster your own appreciation of what your mind/body/spirit can do together to express your own beautiful potential. Her valuable list of resources is illuminated by her own personal experiences with them. I was also impressed with the humor, humility, and balance Naomi uses in telling the story of her life-healing. Most of us will never face the enormous challenges that she did, but our lives can nevertheless benefit by hearing about her lessons and triumphs -- and beginning to tap some of the same secrets and Power that she did. Please bless yourself with this book - and enjoy some of the bountiful harvest that Naomi did!
