A guidebook for those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the nature and practice of spiritual and energy healing, A Healer's Handbook offers a multitude of case studies of healings effected through attunement to a Higher Power. Mary Kretzmann has served as the director of the Ananda Healing Prayer Ministry for nearly 30 years, which has furnished her with a unique opportunity to guide many around the world in techniques such as healing prayers and affirmations, visualizations, and more. Her work has included "laying on of hands" sessions, drawn from the teachings of the great spiritual master Paramhansa Yogananda and of Jesus Christ. This book chronicles Mary's in-depth experience and insights. Many cases of instantaneous and near-instantaneous physical healing have occurred in her sessions. In addition, the principles and techniques revealed in this book have worked cures of deep emotional wounds. Many people have told the author that "One session with you helped me more than years of therapy." Prospective and veteran healers, and those who seek hope and help for personal healing, will find inspiration and instruction from Mary's accounts. Mary Kretzmann travels internationally sharing Yogananda's teachings on energy healing, and teaches regularly at The Expanding Light Retreat in Northern California. She is the author of Divine Will Healing.
