In 1982, at the age of 26, ''ordinary wife and mother'' Laura Kamm recovered from a painful and terrifying near-death experience with an amazing new ability - she could tell just from looking at someone if they were suffering from a medical or spiritual malaise. The arrival of this incredible gift changed her life, and she went on to study with shamans and healers from around the world. In her amazing book, she clearly explains the philosophies that guide her work, and reveals how identifying the emotional ''messages'' trapped in our bodies can liberate us from conditions such as depression and overweight. She offers practical exercises that help readers learn about their own unique energy systems, develop confidence in their intuition, and resolve their emotional and physical pain. Filled with inspiring stories and written with the down-to-earth warmth of a trusted friend, Kamm''s profound insight teaches us how we can heal ourselves of ailments both physical and emotional through working with our innate ''forgotten'' power.
