About the author

Gill was a chartered clinical psychologist by background, and worked full-time in the National Health Service throughout the 1980s. She grew up in a haunted house, began yoga and meditation in her teens, and was on a spiritual path for 30+ years. In 1989, a mystical experience changed her life – and she resigned from the NHS to write her first book, ‘Living Magically’ (Piatkus, 1991).
She trained in metaphysics and shamanism in the USA, Britain and Hawaii, and ran Living Magically workshops in the UK and abroad from 1990. Since 2001, she trained intensively in energy psychology and energy medicine. With a Diploma in Flower & Vibrational Essences, she produced her own range of Lakeland Essences. She was also a certified practitioner of Meridian & Energy Therapies, and trained in EFT (level 2), Matrix Reimprinting, TAT, Psych-K (Advanced) and Emo-Trance. She was registered as a practitioner with the AMT and AAMET. She also studied many other shamanic and energetic healing approaches – including Matrix Energetics, Reconnective Healing, the Sedona Method, the LifeLine Technique, and Donna Eden’s energy medicine. She was passionate about energy psychology and new-paradigm medicine, and believed it would transform the face of healthcare in the coming years.
Gill wrote the best-selling books ‘Living Magically’, ‘Stepping Into the Magic’, ‘Pure Bliss’ and ‘Wild Love’, (Piatkus), plus a range of self-help CD’s. Her book, ‘Life Is A Gift’ was published by Piatkus in 2007. It offers a practical guide to making your dreams come true – by aligning with the flow of the cosmos. Her latest book on Conscious Medicine (2010) – was a topic of huge passion for her. She believed that all dis-ease is created by our energy-consciousness – and so can be un-created using conscious medicine.
Gill lived in the heart of the English Lake District – a landscape that she loved – in a fairytale house which nestles amidst lake, woods and waterfalls, where she felt truly blessed.
Her life-long focus was on expanding our consciousness: walking with a ‘foot in both worlds’, so that we release our natural state of boundless love, joy, freedom and creativity. She saw consciousness as the source of everything. Since everything Is One, she believed that as we develop more of our own potential-and move from fear to love, from struggle to joy-we also help to change the world.
On November 19th 2011 Gill’s mission was complete – she made her transition into the spirit realm, where I am sure she is still joyously supporting us with modern day living.

Truly beautiful book, definitely need to read it again to use it to its full potential. Gave me real hope and helped me to look forward.

This is quite an old school spiritual self help guide book. It was nice to refresh myself, and I liked the simple fact that the author did not preach or try and tell you what to do. The exercises and meditations are easy, giving you pause for thought. I think books like this are little gems and I shall certainly do some of the exercises myself.

The word "magically" is a bit misleading. I sort of read it by mistake. It refers to the painful "magical thinking" that takes over the mind of the bereaved making them go over and over events trying to see how or where they can change things when, of course, they can't. A sad but truthful book. Many lessons to learn. A journey with and through grief.

It started off really well! I was excited by the title and how relevant it was in my life. The book started really well, however, not far in, it seemed to change course. I really couldn't stay with it. I have read books very similar so wasn't new to the content at all, so I guess that's why it didn't impact me. I felt the title was very misleading.

This was the first book by Gill Edwards I read and actually enjoyed it a lot. It offers some useful exercises, techniques and meditations as well as examples and consistent information. I especially like the combination of psychological and metaphysical approaches to life. The book is beautifully written, in a simple and easy to understand manner.

I loved 'Life is a Gift' and that's still my favourite in comparison to all her others, maybe because of the strong impact it had on me. However, this is a nice follow-up book to read if you're into her work.
