One Vision is a life-changing book. It is of one man's journey toward seeing life with improved eyesight, resulting in greater insights into himself and his place in the world. This astonishing tale, based on true-life events, will fill you with hope; that even in the darkest moments there is a powerful healing force deep within each of us. The story is told by Joshua, a hard-working accountant who discovers his true life's purpose. As he connects with people from different walks of life he finds a new meaning to his life when he remembers to be true to himself.
Joshua is just an ordinary guy. He has a good job in an accountancy firm, is happily married and has two children. And then he is diagnosed with a tumour on his optic nerve. He is given no time to take in the implications of this as only a few days later he must undergo surgery. This is not without its risks as the tumour is sitting against the pituitary gland. When Joshua wakes from the surgery he is sore and bruised both physically and emotionally. Just two weeks before he was living a completely normal life. Now he is hospitalised and recovering from major surgery.
This book follows Joshua in the months following his surgery. He is determined to get back on his feet as soon as he can and pushes himself to get going again. But his body is not ready and gradually he realises that it going to take some time to recover from the trauma. At this point he starts to explore ways in which he can care for himself to assist his recovery. He tries massage and Reiki, he looks into the meaning of dreams and numerology and he discovers the benefits of meditation. He attends numerous courses to learn about different healing modalities and makes new friends who guide his journey.
Joshua is advised by his optometrist how fortunate he is to be able to see. Unknown to him he had lost almost all his peripheral vision. Together they work to restore his vision and doing his daily exercises helps distract him from concerns about the tumour. He has incredible results and quickly starts running workshops to help others improve their vision - both their physical vision and their life vision.
This book is s journey of discovery: both self discovery for Joshua and also the opening of his vision to a world of energy healing of which he had previously been completely unaware. It is a work of fiction, but is based on the true story of the author, Barry Auchettl. Barry is now dedicated to working with others to help them create a greater vision for their life.
I found this a very inspiring read. Joshua discovers that none of us are 'ordinary'. We all have the possibility of living an amazing life. The path will be different for everyone, but this book gives an insight into some of the modalities which are available to us to help us connect to our greater self. Whether you are completely new to these ideas or you are yourself a healer, I recommend this story of a real-life miracle.
