Invisible Roots

Have you ever wondered why have are afraid of certain things such as bridges or heights –or in my case – snakes? Especially if you’ve never had a bad experience in that area?
Have you ever thought about why you might instantly dislike someone that you just met? Or adored someone you just met?
Do you ever have unexpected and unexplained physical symptoms that doctors can’t diagnose?

I went to hear a speaker recently at our public library. I wasn’t sure what to expect. A friend of mine who works at the library mentioned to me that she thought I would enjoy the speaker.
Dr. Barbara Stone was truly one of the  most fascinating speakers I have heard for a long while. I also purchased her newest book, Invisible Roots, which I devoured in a few days.  Dr. Stone is a psychotherapist who studied at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland. She also holds a PhD in clinical psychology. 

The book shares examples of how Dr. Stone has aided many of her clients who could not shake phobias, addictions, depression, pain and other physical symptoms no matter what they tried.  As she explains in her talks and in her book, she began to discover deeper realms that were causing the symptoms her clients were experiencing.  This was not something she was interested in pursuing, but as it kept surfacing, she felt compelled to explore further. She discovered that through various methods of energy psychology, she was able to uncover and release the effects of  traumatic past lives and earthbound spirits affecting her clients.

At her talk, she shared many of the concepts detailed in her book, and I felt that I have finally found out why my life is the way it is.  I feel fortunate to have discovered her and the kind of energy psychology work she is doing. My own degree is in psychology and I now feel drawn to look into energy psychology.  I’ll let you know how that goes.
