About this title

About the Author:

Regina Sara Ryan, born in New York City in 1945, is currently at home in northern Arizona. A former Catholic nun, Regina has studied contemplation and mysticism from many traditions for over forty years. After leaving the convent in the early 1970s, Regina explored the lives of the great women of Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and Sufism. Since meeting her own spiritual mentor, the Western Baul master Lee Lozowick in 1984, Regina has continued to follow what she calls a path of “unashamed devotion” in which she works to bring her life of contemplation into action. Since 1980, besides writing and freelance editing, she has worked in retreat settings and currently conducts several popular workshops in the U.S. and Europe. These include: “Training Attention for Prayer,” “Meetings with Remarkable Women,” about the feminine nature of the Divinity and “Writing Your Way Home,” about journal-writing as a means of spiritual enrichment and personal transformation. Married for 38 years, Regina lives in Paulden, Arizona with her husband Jerome Pramuk and her two grandchildren.

Review:

"Fills an important void between that which the healthcare provider is able to offer and what each recovering person must learn to do for him/herself." -- Richard Moss, M.D., author, How Shall I Live?

"Reading this book is like having a most welcome visit from an interested, intelligent, and caring friend. Its positive, commonsensical approach strongly empowers the recuperating person to regain personal control for self-healing. I highly recommend it to those who are recovering from illness or trauma, and to professionals in the health field." -- Dolores Krieger, Ph.D., R.N., author of Therapeutic Touch

"This is an empowering, health-active guide to many complex aspects of illness and recovery including some that doctors rarely acknowledge or understand. It belongs on the bookshelf next to books by Norman Cousins and Bernie Siegel. The perfect gift for an ailing friend. Highly recommended." -- Tom Ferguson, M.D., author, Health Online and editor/publisher of The Ferguson Report: The Newsletter.
