Good for Many Tough Issues Jul 23, 2009
By C.M. Stine
"fiction fox"
I am buying this for a friend who will be getting surgery in a couple of weeks. After reading it to make sure it would be appropriate for her, I came away very impressed. I'm impressed with the way this book is set up as part journal, part advice, part workbook--and with many inspiring meditations on life and what it means to live fully.
I went through one of the 12-step programs many years ago, and I vividly recall my first reading of the 12 & 12: that it would be a great guidebook for ANYONE, and that it was a shame that only 12-steppers had access to it.
This guidebook feels much the same.
Highly recommended.

Uplifting and Entertaining Change Guide Aug 21, 2009
By George Withers
"superpsychic"
The author takes you on a juicy emotional journey from resentment and grief to love, fullfillment and happiness by way of healing herself mentally, emotionally and physically, along with her readers. Kanta bares her heart and soul in this uplifting story and in the workbook offers a great process to consciously evolve into "who you really are," using enjoyable creative excercises and visualizations. The author's illustrations set a light-hearted tone, which readers will find comforting and encouraging, like the reminder of a good friend that all is well. Highly recommended.

Sweet, Fun, and Useful Aug 07, 2009
By isa Maria
This fresh, juicy, beautiful book takes the reader on a transformational healing adventure. Rich in practical, no-nonsense information as well as gentle, expertly guided inner exploration, the book is a factual, funny, and wise companion.
Illustrated with Kanta's own delightful, whimsical drawings and with candid stories from her own journey, the book gives us things to do and think about that bring us comfort, clarity, and empowerment, whatever our challenge.
Kanta Bosniak has the amazing ability to bring subjects as raw and terrifying as cancer, divorce, loss, and childhood distress into a warm nest of sacred space, where there is deep nourishment for our relationship with ourselves and with life.

A great support for cancer patients and others Aug 02, 2009
By Mwezi Mtoto
I am currently being treated for carcinosarcoma of the uterus and cervix, and this book was given to me as a must read. In the first part of the book, Ms Bosniak bravely shares her own experience with uterine cancer with compassion, humor and most of all love for the reader. The second part of her book deals with healing from the illness with well researched information on complementary medicine and self hypnosis. The third part of the book engages the reader in easy to do exercises that encourage being proactive in your own healing.
This book is a great support, and reading it is like sharing experiences with a dear friend. I highly recommend it.
a roadmap for healing Dec 22, 2010
By victoria stone
Kanta Bosniak has given all of us - who will certainly have serious challenges to face in our lives - a trail to follow. Ours will not be exactly her path, but the way she has detailed finding her own path, gathering in to herself the strands of help from holistic, alternative, integrative and finally allopathic health care, and weaving from them a shawl of comfort and transformation is more than informational. Kanta's fresh, inspirational writing informs the search for wellness in body and mind in ways an author could not hope to achieve who has not been there herself. The authenticity in this book gives it a strength and certainty from which anyone battling life-threatening illness can take heart. Kanta manages to recount her struggles and successes without sinking into self-pity or self-congratulation - rather it is both an entertaining read and a deeply spiritual guide. The practical information about treatments and resources, and how she found help are invaluable. For those of us who seek to find our healing outside of the technological medical arena it is a good reminder that when holistic forms of healing are not enough we can expand our view of "holistic" to include what modern medicine has to offer with a positive outcome, while not laying aside our fundamental personal principles.Read it before you need it!
