Written by Namaste author Shefali Tsabary, PhD, with the Preface by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and advance acclaim by authors Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Wiliamson, Marci Shimoff, Laura Berman Fortgang, and other leaders in the field of parenting, this is the book we've all been waiting for.

Sickness isn’t something that just “happens” to us, and neither is health something that can be achieved simply with the right foods, medicines, exercise, and mental attitude.

Health and sickness are a reflection of our essential being, and hence the potential for health resides in each of us at all times.

When we are grounded in the universal consciousness the author calls our One-Self, our entire being is in balance, which gives rise to wellness. This is because there is no fracturing within our One-Self, which knows nothing but well-being. It is whole, or “holy.”

When Eckhart Tolle appeared with Oprah in ten weekly online sessions that explored each of the chapters of A New Earth, one question came up again and again:

How does the teaching in A New Earth fit with the teachings of Jesus and my Christian faith?

Life is stressful, anxiety provoking, and frequently traumatic. The result is that many of us are hurting, and often we are unaware of how deep our hurt runs.

The painful experiences we go through aren’t simply “over and done with” once we pass through them, however. They each leave their mark, etched deep into both the psyche and the body, affecting how well we function from this point onwards.

Until 1989, South African-born Michael Brown was living what he called a blissfully unconscious life as a music journalist. He then developed an acutely painful neurological condition for which conventional medicine had neither cure nor relief. This caused him to set out on what became a 9 year odyssey of self-healing. His travels took him to the United States and Mexico and into then beyond the healing modalities of Reiki, Breath work, Shamanism and the wisdom of Native Americans and Mexicans. The outcome is an evolutionary new healing procedure called The Presence Process.
