Review by Cathy Ellis. It says in the introduction, “This is a book about freedom - freedom to live your life as you’ve always dreamed it could be.” A lot of books claim to contain information that will set people free – free of their worries, their depressions, their ill health and their ill humors. Some deliver a bit of relief. Many are interesting intellectual examinations of “conditions” with advice on how to relieve the symptoms. They make us feel like we’ve learned something, but after the last page is turned, our lives continue just the way they were. You won’t be so lucky with The Journey. Brandon Bays is onto something. That “something” is a methodology that allows anyone to experience fully the energies and emotions trapped in layers in the body that trigger ill health and emotional and mental distress, and release them completely. How? Well, it takes the whole book to learn that. But here’s one of the keys: you have to feel your emotional or energy states fully. You have to be present and alive in them without thinking anything about them. No stories. No explanations. No, “I feel anxiety because….” but rather, “I feel anxiety.” Period. That’s as far as she allows the head games to go. What happens if you are 100% present with your emotions? Read the book and find out. An incredibly swift read, The Journey starts by relating Bays’ own healing journey. And boy did she have a ride. Imagine this: You have been in the mind/body healing arena as a coach for years. You are one of Tony Robbins top instructors no less, married to his top top instructor. You have everything invested in this identity as a mind/body healer. And over the course of a few months, a basketball-size tumor grows in your belly until one day you start to bleed internally. So what does the mind/body healer who “knows it all” already do about this? Read the book and find out. It is nothing short of miraculous. And yet, it is not miraculous at all, because Bays, through her journey, reveals the infinite power of the body to heal once we get ourselves out of the way. |
