Author:Allegra Taylor
Allegra Taylor has journeyed throughout the world in a quest to understand how healing works. She chronicles her own gradual acquisition of healing skills as she explores a whole range methods and ideas.
She discovers that the healer is essentially a catalyst, not a magician. That health is much more than mere absence of disease. That the power to heal is one face of the power to love. That anyone can do it.
