Here to Heal

Reshad Feild continues his story of his spiritual journey through Sufism as told in his earlier books, "The Infinite Way" and "The Last Barrier." However, this is not a book writen in the same style as the previous two books mentioned. This is a "How to" book about the spiritual practices mentioned in his earlier books. In Here To Heal, Mr. Feild breaks down some of his specific spiritual practices that existed as elements in the earlier story line. He explains, in depth, the "7 breath" which he was taught as a form of practicing concious awareness during his friends death. He talks about not healing someone with out their "permission". He talks about the importance of keeping the home prepared for "The Guest" and he talks about a type of earth healing ritual (geomancy). In his earth healing practice he performs a healing ritual for the earth by inserting large copper and iron rods - similar to accupunture needles, in various places where the earths energy has been left unbalanced. An example is when he descibes takeing his students to a location that has a "bad" feeling in the air. One student says she can smell blood and seemen. The air temperature is described as colder in this one area. After he inserts the rods in the right places, birds beging to flock to a nearby tree. The temperature warms. Life has been restored. Later they hear that a murder had taken place somewhere near the spot the found. Here To Heal serves more as a manual on the healing styles of Mr. Feild than an easily read story. If you were drawn to his journey and would like to know more about his practises, this book is for you. David Groover
