An Experiential Review of Alternative Healing Modalities by an Open-minded Skeptic
ATLANTA, GA -- Expanded Thought Press announces the release of "The Skeptic's Guide to the Adventures of Life," a lighthearted look at life's deeper lessons and mysteries as it chronicles business strategist Connie Siewert's personal experiences, and those of her healers, during a three year journey to wellness. Although open-minded and curious, Connie considers herself a skeptic when it comes to examining new thoughts and ideas.
When it came to exploring alternative healing modalities, she preferred to jump in and experience the therapy for herself before she drew any conclusions.
As part of this focused quest for optimum health, Connie reveled in extraordinary a-ha's and breathtaking buzzes as she evidenced some truly remarkable events. She explored past lives with a hypnotherapist and spirit guide from Sylvia Browne's Society of Spiritus Novus. Through reiki, healing touch and shamanic rituals, she was introduced into the world of our energetic selves and came to understand the power that it wields over our physical bodies.
She experienced the power of distance healing and was given the gift of knowing momentarily what it is like to have a highly developed sixth sense. She has been cupped and had her acupoints punctured, her feet and related organs reflexed, her colon cleansed and her eyes studied as an uncanny source of information regarding her health.
Connie has learned the vibrational affects of color, music and minerals, been counseled by the planets, angels and horses and communed with the other side. And through it all, she was able to significantly improve her lung condition, eliminate the pain and stiffness from arthritis in her knee and improve her overall wellness, all while stimulating the mind and delighting the spirit.
Upon reading "The Skeptic's Guide to The Adventures of Life," Mariette Edwards, principal of Star Maker Enterprises, summed up the healing odyssey as, "Connie's CPA sensibilities are challenged and inspired by the surprising and unexpected revelations her explorations have produced. It's like Arthur Andersen meets Tinkerbell!"
When asked what prompted her to write her book, Connie shares, "I wrote this book as a vehicle to introduce mainstream America to the exciting possibilities out there in alternative therapies. My hope is that I will encourage other people to seek new solutions to their health challenges and ultimately improve their wellbeing as I have."
Stephanie Maxine Ross, medical botanist and holistic practitioner to CEOs and Celebrities, had this to say about The Skeptic's Guide to The Adventure's of Life, "Connie Siewert, the 'healthy skeptic', charters a refreshing exploration into other healing modalities with honesty, wit, and charm. She inspires us to consider with openness new possibilities in our quest for wellness."
Available from Expanded Thought Press in late November 2004, readers will find that it's a great book to take to the beach or as a travel companion while flying to their destination. It promises a fresh perspective on some preconceived notions, new ideas to consider and new approaches that might help them along their way.
Advance copies will be on sale at the November 13th Atlanta Art Show for medical intuitive/healer/artist Brent Atwater's Paintings That Heal. Visit www.paintingsthatheal.com for event details.
