Based on the authors extensive research, Finding the River is a book of personal discovery, both for the author and the reader alike.

The easy to read style, along with the authors expansive knowledge and passion for the subject, make Finding the River a joy to read.

Finding the River covers a number of therapeutic modalities such as Endorphin techniques and meditations, relaxation and pacing methods using Ultradian rhythms, Energy Medicine exercises, and EmoTrance and Emotional Freedom techniques.

Finding The River explains and takes the reader through various meditation techniques sourced from Buddhist, Hindu, and Tibetan traditions; teaches ways to clear your clutter, Space Clear and create a sacred place in your home; provides exercises and techniques for dealing with stress, burnout, coping with change and coaxing oneself out of limiting comfort zones; explains the power of the mind and the value of developing awareness of oneself; the importance of connecting with Nature; as well as a whole host of other ways to help yourself through the challenges of life.

Finding The River also explains ways and rituals to use all these techniques throughout the changing energies of the seasons so that the reader may learn to be more in tune with the natural world and experience a greater balance and harmony within themselves.

Finding the River has already received great praise from many respected practitioners in the field of Energy Psychology, and features an insightful foreword by Dr Mark Atkinson, author of The Mind-Body Bible. Finding the River has been called “Valuable and encouraging for anyone on the path of healing and spiritual development” by teacher and author William Bloom, and respected Energy Medicine teacher Madison King believes “This uplifting book is an Aladdin's Cave of wisdom, practical information and techniques from myriad disciplines.”
