Sharing Our Story Aids the Healing Process Says Author of New Book

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 19, 2004 --

Why is it that when were upset, afraid or even angry we want to talk about it or write about it in our journals? Author Darlene Montgomery, says that sharing our stories can be the final action we take to finally heal some wound whether it be physical, emotional, mental or spiritually based. One author in her new book, Conscious Women-Conscious Lives: Powerful and Transformational Stories of Healing Body, Mind and Soul, who had suffered burns to 40% of her body made the final healing connection through writing her story for the book. Writing has been proven to assist healing and reading stories of other�s losses, triumphs and tribulations has become a way that North Americans are reconnecting to a lost tradition, story telling.



Many of us could not imagine facing the loss of child, nor the pain of burns to 40 % of our body. The women in this amazing collection have faced this and more. Your will read about Erin Davis�s turn around after loss of her job as a leading radio host; Marion Woodman, best-selling author and Jungian Analyst tells of the indomitable strength of her mother and how she let her go; Sue Augustine tells of becoming a best-selling author after leaving a marriage of abuse.

These stories show how the journey of facing some of life�s greatest obstacles can be followed by a joyous emergence from the darkness of despair, and a return to the light of life, love and new wisdom. Whatever challenges you presently face, these stories offer hope, reassurance, comfort and proud examples of the resilient nature and courage of women.
