There are so many therapies, healing practices and alternative medicines on offer, at so many levels, that it can be confusing. David Vennells is experienced in most of them. After being asked many times by clients and patients "What can I do to help myself or family/friend get well" he decided to write the answer. Here is the distilled wisdom of many years practice; a number of complementary therapies which are safe, easy to learn from a book, and combine wonderfully with each other to form a simple but powerful system of healing for body and mind. You don't need to be an expert, or to ask one - all these are designed as simple and effective forms of natural medicine that anyone can practice. Follow the clear explanations in the book, and within a few weeks or even days you can begin to enjoy treating yourself, friends and family with confidence and success. Throughout the book, David emphasises that healing begins with a good heart. It is as much our own attitude as the healing technique that is significant. Drawing on his experience of Buddhist meditation and practice, he offers a number of tips and exercises for the reader to approach their healing in the right frame of mind.

Hard times don't hurt if we know how to transform them to our benefit. Rather than being meaningless or evil we can transform them into opportunities to develop special inner qualities. By doing so we become more whole, healthy and happy. "Everything is a Blessing" provides you with the skills to begin this special journey. It will teach you how to take control, overcome and actually use problems as a ladder to personal and spiritual growth. Through applying these ideas and simple meditation techniques we can develop more space and clarity in our mind and learn to view the challenges of life in a more playful way, taking the power away from problems and channeling it in to transformational growth. Drawing on many spiritual traditions, "Everything is a Blessing" pays particular attention to the teachings of the Buddha and the way in which they can power our spiritual path through the ups and downs of everyday life.
