This special volume of Thin Threads Stories, of which I am the co-editor, chronicles eleven uplifting tales of how each author found personal renewal after devastating loss. Read the Introduction to Thin Threads of Grief & Renewal.
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.
