The Path Into Healing
The Path into Healing is a model for healing through the feminine side of the soul. The purpose of this book is to outline a process whereby a person can understand and acquaint him or herself with an aspect of our awareness often neglected in our world today. Much of the emphasis in our world is on what a person can achieve without regard to how these achievements affect the world and the people living in these achievements. The Path into Healing is an attempt to give acknowledgment to the inner qualities of living that our outer world thrusts upon us. Just think for a moment what a child does and says when he/she gets hurt. They want their mommy. Why is it that when we are hurt, we look to the feminine soul to give us strength and direction. On September 11, 2001, the first thing we did when New York City was bombed was to turn inside ourselves in prayer, for direction, and for hope beyond our external world being destroyed around us. This inward look into a world that is with us throughout our life is a womb like state of being. Inside us is an incredible source of strength and energy capable of nurturing a dying person through death, helping us rebuild what is destroyed in our external world, and transforming the most drastic event into a presence of peace. Thus is the world of the feminine spirit.

We all come into this world innocent. We know unconditional love and we understand our universal connection to all things. We know why we are here and are eager for the adventure.
For some reason, over time, we lose that wonder. Our view of the world changes, we change. For most of us, it really isn’t until we near death or loss touches our lives that we are reminded about purpose.
Sam Oliver has worked in palliative care for 17 years. His work has provided great insight to him. He sees the wonder in his children and expresses his wish that don’t lose this gift.
