Meditations For Body And Spirit by Haven Trevino
1999(revised edition) ISBN 1-57731-111-6 The Tao Of Healing epitomizes the intention of "the gift that keeps on giving." I knew that I would like this book, but I did not know what a most profound effect it would have on me. It is said best by Hugh Prather (author of Spiritual Notes To Myself) when he states that Trevino does not write about how to be healed, or how to heal, he immerses the reader directly into the healing state. Haven Trevino was in latter stages of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease) when he wrote this book. He could have focused on his own pain and suffering, but he chose to live in the light. In his own words: "What I have learned, and am still learning, is this: Beneath our shells of pain and darkness lives a light that transcends description, and all it takes to reunite us is our intention to do so. This light, or love, is who we truly are, and true healing is remembering this simple truth." In these pages you will find the love that will heal you, that will bring your various selves together in harmony. This is a book that one reads not straight through, but a story at a time. Through the light of the poetry contained within its pages, we can reunite with the light within ourselves. If you want to be a better person, to become at one with yourself, to extend a hand of forgiveness and compassion to yourself and others - this is the book for you. From the book: "In silence the teachings are heard; In stillness the world is transformed."
