“”The Essence of Self Healing” is a book written in a very simple and easy to understand way. I have read it many times and I continue to re-read it, discovering each time a new aspect. Petrene, after she helps you to understand the unconventional stance that sickness is a choice, teaches you to see yourself and the world in such a simple and intuitive way… Free from the fog of technical jargon you are then able to realize the root of the problem which is expressing itself as illness and to free yourself from that. The simple exercises and techniques in the book are brilliant, small journeys inside yourself and outside yourself, beyond yourself. I now use them often, whether it is to free myself from small pains and annoyances or whether it is to maintain a feeling of health and well-being. I am an avid reader and I recommend this book without any hesitation, it is not only a useful and enjoyable book but above all else, offers a window with a view to humanity beyond sickness.” – Nectaria, Athens, Greece
“”The Essence of Self-Healing” by Petrene Soames is without a doubt an amazing work of wisdom, sensitivity and deep love for a humanity which is ill and suffering on a physical as well as mental and spiritual level. According to Petrene our health is completely connected to our thoughts and beliefs and it is up to us – and only us – to safeguard it. It is really an impressive book which offers an abundance of practical advice for our own self-healing and gives comfort in times of pain and disappointment. For sure it is a book which reminds us all that real Strength and Healing is found inside of our Selves.” – Sofianna, Athens, Greece
“”The Essence of Self-Healing” is a very good and very positive book!! It is full of Positive Thoughts!!”- Stavroula, Athens, Greece
“Petrene Soames must be a wonderful person – I have already started reading the book and it really is sweet and warm…” – Giannis, Athens, Greece
“I finished the book yesterday. It really is wonderful. I liked it very much!!! I started to use some of the exercises, especially those to help me let go of everything I no longer need and I can see that they are very helpful… The exercises in the book are many and it is still difficult for me to remember them all and especially which one to use for each situation and so I do what I remember each time… I am of course seeing results! And so I continue… Thank you very much!!! It is a book which offers a great deal to humanity and I am grateful.” – Eleni, Athens, Greece
“I take pen to paper and begin to write… It is a bit of a mess, somehow all mixed up together in my head but I know that by writing it will slowly all be put in order… I said “no more pain!” and… that was that!!! It was so simple in the end… “But how is this possible?”, I asked myself… “Is this not something you could have thought of yourself??? And it’s been so many months of pain too!!!” I found many truths in Petrene’s Book “The Essence of Self Healing”... Some are bitter truths… For example: Pain makes us feel “alive” and because it is a bittersweet feeling, in some completely masochistic way we like it and find it difficult ( or more to the point we don’t want.. ) to let it go. Now I know how I can heal myself… It is a wonderful feeling. When our faith in ourselves is shaken, when we wonder where on earth our mind/logic has gone, when we feel it is impossible to deal with our emotions and we are sure that “i must be doing something wrong!”… After reading the book I feel that my belief in myself has been reinstated. I trust myself again. I am sure now that my logic exists and is right because it is backed up by my emotions, which are always right because they are guided by my instincts, which yes!, are always right! What a shame I didn’t know all of this earlier… But it is never too late. I remember the example of the 80 year old woman in the book. She “got it” when she was 80! Who am I to complain? I am enjoying the time I spend with myself now, with my thoughts, with my daughter, with my home… I SEE!… I don’t just look…. It is amazing!!! To say thank you is so small in my case but I feel it and I mean it… A LOT!” – Anna, Athens, Greece
“Lately I have been trying to find the peace that I have lost and in this search have read many books. One of these has been “The Essence of Self-Healing” by Petrene Soames. This book has given me the belief that I may be able to find it again…” – Vasiliki, Athens, Greece
