Simple but Profound Healing Method

This book describes in a clear step by step way a simple self help healing method. Tara Springett has many years experience as a coach and therapist and she illustrates the book with many examples. Aside from the actual method, there are nuggets of wisdom and much healing information is packed into a short space. The method is effective with any sort of problem, because although it heals symptoms, it goes beyond symptoms to the lacks and discords which bring problems about. It is easy for religious believers or "spiritual" people to use as part of their current practice but the most sceptical person can also use it with great effect. I recently started to use it with a practical problem, not one I would consider going to a therapist about. Already my level of anxiety has gone down. I think there are tons of applications for the method, even in terms of how to respond to the many crises in the world at the moment. Tara's method can be used to help friends, family or anyone at all, yet in a very specific way without being emotionally overwhelmed by the "story" of the problem. Perfect for the times when you want to help, but don't know what to do.

Healing & Transforming Your Presence

If you would like to lose your mind and all the problems it creates, you've come to the right place. If you like embracing nature or gazing at the sky or meditating or praying or simply stopping and doing nothing, you've come to the right place. You may use these rebellious acts for your own good, and be healed in the process! While the title and some quickly scanned chapter sub-headings were slightly off-putting-- --seemingly too simple and too cure-all-ish----I took them for clear editing or publishing decisions and looked a little deeper. I'm so glad I did. The author's words were simple, yet authentic and in deep alignment with the essence of most all other systems of true healing. Her Higher Consciousness Healing began "working" for me in the first week. Now, after a month of practice, I find it is not just changing me in the midst of a recent problem, but actually transforming my sense of presence to other issues in life and my concepts of dealing with them. This is a quick read, with short chapters, filled with incredibly practical potential for every arena of your life. Obviously Tara Springett is transmitting a deeper vein of truth of moving quickly yet effectively to our core. I have much appreciation and gratitude for this expansion she provides us, and hope you too will take some regular moments to transform yourself.

A wise and helpful book

Higher-Consciousness Healing (HCH) is a simple, wise and wonderful way of dealing with problems. The book is quite short and very easy to read, with a clear description of what HCH is and simple instructions to follow and get you started immediately. I first came across HCH several years ago and was immediately drawn to this very positive and gentle method of solving problems; it worked for me in a number of areas. There is a bewildering array of therapies and self-help methods out there, most of which I know nothing about, but there are two approaches that I've never been keen on. I was therefore pleased to discover that the author (an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist) doesn't find them helpful either. They are: · Trying to identify and analyse the cause of your problems; in particular blaming your parents for screwing you up! · Trying to be relentlessly positive and making all sorts of affirmations which, deep down, you may not actually want or be ready for. Instead, she takes the view that your reaction to a difficult event or situation is far more important than what actually happened, and it is the resulting negative feelings that you need to heal. HCH thus leads you away from worrying about possible causes and solutions to your problems, and this can feel very liberating and empowering. What you do focus on is a healing symbol and on a feeling of love which comes from your higher consciousness. Directing this love towards yourself (and your problem) may seem strange at first, especially if you are depressed or angry with yourself! But I found that once I'd got the hang of it, practising HCH was like giving myself a gift. The symbol works at quite a deep level, and I've found (as have apparently a lot of other people) that rather than suddenly being overwhelmed by a massive change, I've simply left the problem behind and forgotten how bad it was until someone has referred to it. Or that I haven't even been aware of what kind of changes were taking place. Once I used a symbol to help me deal with my frustration at the rather condescending attitude a group of more senior colleagues had towards me and the team I was in. I was amazed when a few weeks later my manager (whom I considered quite insensitive and not interested in personal issues) congratulated me on how hard I'd obviously been working to improve my attitude towards my colleagues! A really helpful and inspiring book, and a simple and effective method to use. Warmly recommended to everyone for dealing with all kinds of problems, whether great or small. HCH is a friend that will always be there for you.

wonderful book

I can't speak highly enough about this gem of a book. I've read it now three times and each time I'm finding more insight and richness. Tara Springett writes in a clear and easy-to-follow style that is really teaching us a unique practice that will help us with any of the troubles in life that we face. I'm familiar with Tibetan Buddhism and I can see a connection in relating to one's higher consciousness but this practice is really accessible to everyone - people who are engaged spiritually and those who are not. The practice also has a connection to contemporary brief psychotherapy techniques - like measuring the impact of your problem on a scale from 1-10 at the beginning, through the process, and at the end. All the elements combine into a simple and elegant technique that even my son has been quickly able to master. One effect of the measurement aspect is that Tara Springett writes with confidence about the improvements her clients have experienced and there are numerous case studies sprinkled in the book. It's been working remarkably well for me too on a range of personal issues. I'm a busy person generally and I like authors to have the short form of their text at the end of each chapter. This helps me to take it all in quickly and this book does it very well. Overall, I feel that this is a very unusual book in three dimensions - it's very inspiring, it's exceptionally well structured, and it produces amazing results. If I was forced to criticise it, I'd say... actually, there's nothing to say on that. Five stars!
