******************************************************************************

GRIEF and LOVE are two powerful emotions that are bound together and change your life forever. The death of a loved one is a terrible loss, but it can also bring with it a renewal of life and love if you allow yourself to grieve in a healthy manner.

As Carl Jung said, "Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health."

All of the books for purchase on this site address loss, love, and personal renewal. Their intent is to change your perspective a couple of degrees to the positive. They  represent the proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel" and provide the tools you need to dig your way through the mountain of grief which confronts you.

This book is the result of a collaborative effort between Melinda Vail, an intuitive therapist, and Ellen Gerst. Ellen first came in contact with Melinda during her search for answers on her grief journey, and, through a long association, the two produced this simplistic, yet fascinating book. Melinda takes a no-nonsense approach to spirituality and gives the reader practical information to help heal his/her life. Based on the premise that we are all beings of energy, some of the topics covered include: God: An Energy Force; Accessing God's Energy: Our God-Mind; Harnessing Your Energy: Ego vs Spirit, Object Referral vs Self-Referral, and Love vs Fear; Physical Energy: The Seven Chakras; and Reversing Harmful Energy Patterns: Karmic Energy and Its Role In Reversing Disease, Disorder and Dysfunction. An easy-to-read e-book, it also addresses how understanding our childhood dramas can lead to making better choices as an adult. Melinda teaches her precepts through the entertaining story of her own life. To illustrate the concepts, each section includes personal interviews with many of Melinda's clients.
