This book is fundamental to an understanding of Transpersonal psychology, the flowering of a unique British school. It is for every psychotherapist who acknowledges the spiritual dimension. It will give hope for the soul in a materialistic world, point a way to bring the heart to health, inspire the reader and evoke wholeness and trust in life.
It is a book that comes from the source. Barbara Somers and Ian Gordon-Brown spoke its words and drew thousands. The book, based on original tapes, and richly illustrated by Frances Crawford and Ian Thorp, gives the essence of seminars the authors gave at their Centre for Transpersonal Psychology in London to counsellors and psychotherapists in training. |

"This is a splendid and long-awaited book. It will illuminate and inspire all who care about the profounder aspects of human psychology, and should quickly become a classic in the field. It is the kind of book that changes lives."
Prof. David Fontana Chair of the Transpersonal psychology Section of the British Psychological Society.
"The work of Barbara Somers and Ian Gordon-Brown has been life-changing for thousands - I among them. This book is a real gift from two wise, skilled, compassionate teachers who together managed to weave together creativity, authenticity and personal power in it way that enabled all of us who worked with them to live more of our unique divine spark and grow richer in spirit as we walk the earth. It is wonderful to make so much of the richness of their work available to so many."

"This book, carefully edited by Hazel Marshall, is easy to read, but it is not easy to forget. To those just starting on the path of psychotherapy it will be fascinating, giving them insights that no other book that 1 know of can give..."
Nan Beecher-Moore Senior trainer for the Psychosynthesis and Education Trust, and trainer at the Psychosynthesis Institute Academy in Stockholm and Amsterdam.
"The deep insights and quality of the material will make this book a `must' for psychotherapists, counsellors and anyone recognising the importance of `soul', and since the style is so readable, it will expand to a wider general public."
Dr. Mary Swainson Pioneer of student counselling in the UK, close friend and associate.
"I know of few works that are so profoundly and meaningfully human, and at the same time so intensely spiritual. It offers a safe haven, a harbour amid the seas of uncertainty, tumult and internal storm on which all of us today drift. I believe a transpersonal self is now crystallising in a new way. The timely appearance of this book seems to me an apt manifestation of the synchronicity with which Barbara and Ian were always so impressively in touch. We are all indebted to Hazel Marshall for the vital part she has played in making this wisdom accessible to all of us, and enabling it to radiate ever further outwards, like ripples in a pool.
