Synopsis

Body, Mind & Spirit / Self-Help

This book’s perspective on healing will expand the reader’s vision, beyond the scope of healing as a purely individual and personal matter, to one that spans generations in its scope, crosses racial and cultural barriers and sheds new light on the relationships between victims and perpetrators, be they from governments and regimes, wars, sexual abuse or crime.

Payne’s “Orders of Love” describe a natural pattern that has been observed in the practice of Family Constellations--namely, that there is a distinct order stating who belongs and who does not belong, not only in a family system, but also in larger groups such as nations. With its many examples and stories, Payne’s book brings back into belonging those who have been excluded and bridges the gap between the healing of an individual and the healing of family, ethnic and national souls.

John L. Payne, also known as Shavasti, has travelled the length and breadth of this globe, firstly in childhood and then in his adult life in search of deeper meaning and experience. His multi-cultural background created a childhood that was spread over three continents and an adult life spent living in Europe, Africa, Central and South America and Asia, with much time being spent in the USA. With the experience of having given more than 400 workshops on 6 continents, you are receiving a wealth of cultural, ethnic and historical experience that makes his work finely tuned for ancestral healing having worked with hundreds of individuals across the globe.

About this title

From the Publisher:

This book's perspective on healing will expand the reader's vison, beyond the scope of healing as a purely individual and personal matter, to one that spans generations in its scope, crosses racial and cultural barriers and sheds new light on relationships between victims and perpetrators, be they from governments and regimes, wars, sexual abuse or crime.

Payne's "Orders of Love" describe a natural pattern that has been observed in the practice of Family Constellations - namely, that there is a distinct order stating who belongs and who does not belong, not only in a family system, but also in larger groups such as nations. With its many examples and stories, Payne's book brings back into belonging those who have been excluded and bridges the gap between the healing of an individual and the healing of a family, ethnic and national souls.

From the Back Cover:

"The healing power of this book comes from stating simple truths and acknowledging what is without pretenses or masks... John Payne highlights how hidden loyalties and our need to be right are at the heart of many of life's challenges and how the stories we create are the cause of much illusion, pain and dysfunction in our lives. His refreshing take on forgiveness will take you on a journey where judgement will fall away and being authentic to who you are will once more come to the fore, relieving the burden of guilt, shame, resentment and anger."

--Iyanla Vanzant, author of Living through the Meantime
