The Practice of Soul-Centred Healing - Vol. II: Navigating the Inner World Review by David Furlong

Review
I have been eagerly awaiting the latest edition from Dr Zinser on the practices of Soul-Centred Healing and was delighted to have received a copy of his new book. For those of us in the pioneering field of working through the ‘higher-self’ in healing ego-states or sub-personalities and releasing attached spirits, new insights are always welcome and for me there were many affirmations for my own therapeutic approach to this field. I was gratified to see that the healing of the inner world is approached as a process or journey and not an event highlighted by a case presentation in the last chapter of the book showing over two-hundred and seventy sessions. Deep seated trauma takes time to heal.

For practising therapists, the great value of this book is its detailed account of the methodology used to clear inner trauma, when working with the ‘higher-self’ as the primary inner director. The insights presented in this book have been backed up a communication with a spirit guide called Gerod, who channels through one of Zinser´s colleagues. The power of this twin forked approach is that the information from Gerod, in relation to specific client situations, could then be tested empirically. This unfolding process has helped further the awareness of the complexity of our inner worlds.

The book is divided into seven sections, which includes the importance of record keeping or mapping of the client´s inner world, the way the soul links into the body, in depth insights into the healing of ego-states (sub-personalities), special protocols, the mind body spirit link, which includes working with guides and inner teachers and concludes with a case study in soul-centred healing.

One of the fascinating elements I found was cross-referencing Gerod´s information and Zinser´s interpretation with my own working experience. For example, we are informed that there are two primary elements in the way the soul links into the body – the soul essence itself and an aspect that Gerod calls the ‘energy point’. This latter part might be termed the life force link, which if disconnected would entail physical death. According to Gerod both these two elements might be displaced from their correct location close to the heart centre, which would then require specific healing protocols to correct. One of the techniques I have long used is asking the client´s ‘higher-self’ to scan within to assess where they locate their ‘inner light’ or core self and I have found this is often displaced from the heart centre. Zinser describes a detailed methodology called the ‘Diamond’ protocol for healing the various elements of this misalignment.

The strengths of this book is the detailed methodology that Zinser has developed, based on a yes/no ideo-motor finger signalling technique, to elicit information to first locate and then heal specific aspects of the psyche. He provides many case study cameos showing this process in action. The weakness is that these parts can be difficult to assimilate if one´s own approach to healing the inner world differs, for they require careful reading and following what is happening in the specific case being highlighted. For those therapists who work in the spirit release field but do not use ideo-motor signalling, I would recommend they persevere through these sections to take on board the insights they contain.

Overall this is another very important edition to field of soul-centred healing and should stand on the book-shelf of anyone working with the ‘higher-self’ to effect inner change, particularly when dealing with complex cases. My only disappointment was the lack of further information on dealing with dark souls or demonic entities. This is a troublesome area and can be very difficult to resolve. I would also like to have seen an index, which I now feel should be a must in all scholarly books for simple referencing.
