Essential Healing: Hypnotherapy and Regression-Based Practices to Release the Emotional Pain and Trauma Keeping You Stuck
“A gem. It is filled with the wisdom of life and our potential for healing.”
—Bernie S. Siegel, MD, author of Love, Medicine and Miracles
“A classic testimony of the tenacity and unity of our body and mind.”
—Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind
Heal the emotional scars of the past and develop profound spiritual awareness with innovative, hypnotherapy and regression-based practices.
Deep within you resides a great spirit—a place of profound wisdom, creativity, power, and love. But layers of hurt from early life, and from the defenses you’ve created to avoid further hurt, have accumulated and diminished that spirit over time—lifetimes, really—obscuring what is magnificent about you—your authentic self.
This transformational and healing guide will help you awaken to the wisdom within yourself, break through the layers of emotional protection you’ve placed around your heart, and heal the scars of trauma that hold you back from happiness and fulfillment. During this process, you’ll discover the source of your pain—whether that lies in your body, your mind, in your personal and family history, or in your soul—so you can finally release it. In the end, you’ll find the strength needed to navigate all the challenges of life.
If you’re ready to reveal the true you—the one that lies beneath the scars of trauma—this book provides essential healing to guide you.

Essential Healing by Paul Aurand is, for me, one of the most important books in the field of transpersonal and regression therapy — a true cornerstone of deep inner work. From the very first chapter, I felt as if the book was speaking directly to that quiet, intuitive part of me that already knows the path, but sometimes seeks a gentle confirmation, a guiding hand, or a clearer map.
Paul Aurand writes with extraordinary sensitivity and precision. His approach honours the intelligence of the subconscious, the wisdom of the body, and the subtle energetic field that connects therapist and client. Every concept is grounded, yet spacious. Practical, yet profoundly spiritual.
This is the rare kind of book that doesn’t just teach — it awakens.
What makes Essential Healing my number one choice is how deeply it aligns technique with the essence of healing: presence, safety, and the courage to meet what unfolds. Aurand offers tools, processes, and insights that are immediately applicable, but he also goes far beyond techniques. He reminds us that true transformation comes from entering the inner landscape with openness and respect, trusting the client’s innate capacity to heal.
As a practitioner who works with the body, subconscious, breath, and energy, I felt profoundly supported by this book. It validated not only what I practice, but what I believe: that healing is a co-creation — a dance between the seen and unseen, between memory and meaning, between the human and the soul.
Essential Healing is more than required reading.
It is a companion, an anchor, and a source of clarity for anyone devoted to deep therapeutic work.
I warmly, wholeheartedly recommend it to practitioners who want to expand their skill, strengthen their inner presence, and guide clients into the most transformative layers of their being. And beyond its value for professionals, Essential Healing is also a powerful companion for anyone on a personal path of growth and self-discovery — offering insights and practices that gently illuminate the way inward.
