This volume about spiritual healing, by a gifted and experienced healer from the UK, deals concisely with the topic in both conceptual and practical ways.

The book gives a map and conceptual overview of a spiritual healing system. According to this model, the higher self originates in the spirit and the realm beyond. This part of the self extends beyond this lifetime. Causality flows from there (in the spiritual realm) through to other parts of the self in our physical bodies and mind.

Our sense of life purpose, our soul destiny and fulfillment, our innate talents, and our challenges (wounds and negative tendencies or soul imprints) all make up a kind of spiritual DNA or blueprint for our lives. To be out of alignment with this spiritual or higher self can cause all kinds of symptoms, both psychological and physical, as well as a feeling of being lost, alienated, or at odds with who we are.

Anne Jones offers not only a conceptual model but also practical methods for healing, which strike at the spiritual causes of illness. These include the use of symbols and rituals, notably, as well as energetic techniques. Once the spiritual causes of health and harmony are addressed, the benefits will reverberate holistically, to transform the mind/body and, indeed, one’s life.

This perspective on healing takes seriously the spiritual dimension as the prime mover in our lives. Many healers, if not most (including mind/body and holistic healers), deal with spirituality as an extra layer of the psyche and self, which can prosper, secondarily or derivatively, from psychological or medical therapies. Anne Jones flips this paradigm upside down. Here, the upper world of spirit is the root cause of illnesses and health, in the physical and psychological realms, rather than the other way around.

Anne Jones has written about healing, topically, in a number of helpful books through the years. Her book about negative energies (and how to overcome them) incorporates her diverse experiences as a healer, internationally, within a how-to framework. Her book about healing through opening the heart demonstrates the great energetic boost – in terms of happiness and health – that can come of daily efforts to take risks of the heart (and mind and soul) or to practice kindness consistently (toward oneself and the world). Beyond her books, Anne Jones has heart and sensitivities as a healer, as well as knowledge, success stories, and lessons to share.

How To Heal: Release your past, Reclaim your energy, Revive your Joy approaches the subject of spiritual healing in a concise and general way. The book gives a good one-volume overview of this bigger subject.
