Acknowledgments
Many have offered support and assistance to help this book reach publication.
We want to acknowledge our two soul-sisters. One is Pam Worthington-Lash,
who read the manuscript numerous times and asked excellent questions that
prompted us to keep improving it. The other is Susanne Thibodeau, who
provided insights and extensive moral support along the way.
We acknowledge the significant contributions of clients and students who
either requested the afterlife healing circle or sat in on one and then shared their
stories in these pages. Thank you. We also thank those who told us their stories
of communicating with the other side and allowed us to include them in this
book. Such deeply personal sharing takes courage and generosity.
We are grateful to our agent, John White, for his tireless efforts on our behalf,
and to Raymond Moody, MD, who told us about John and then crafted a lyrical
Foreword for this book. To know that our work touched one of the pioneers of
the afterlife movement means a great deal to us.
Fellow author Mark Ireland deserves our thanks for his efforts to support us,
too. He helped bring about a vastly improved manuscript that is the basis for this
book. We also wish to thank Terri Daniel for making sure we connected with Dr.
Moody.
We want to acknowledge and thank our unseen mentors and colleagues of the
Sunan Society and our own groups of spirit guides. They are indeed part of that
wider community we define and discuss in this book and have been with us
every step of the way, even throughout many years of discouragement. They
never gave up on us, and that helped us keep going. This book is one of the fruits
of our collaboration.

About the Authors
Foreword
by Raymond Moody, MD
All over the world, and from prehistoric times, human beings have attempted
to contact the spirits of their loved ones lost to death. Modern mediumship, we
are told, dates from the 19th century, but that is a mere factoid or a kind of urban
myth. In reality, for more than ten thousand years, people have known of various
methods for carrying on active relationships with their deceased relatives. A
loving relationship with a person doesn’t stop when that individual dies, and that
has been true throughout human history.
The Afterlife Healing Circle describes an exciting rediscovery and updating
of ancient shamanic modalities for communicating with the spirit world and
making it manifest in the physical world. The book is replete with fascinating
case histories and personal experiential accounts of life-changing spiritual
encounters. Reading The Afterlife Healing Circle reminded me again of a
remarkable cultural and historical fact about spiritual experiences: People living
in advanced Western societies frequently have profound episodes of spiritual
consciousness. Similar episodes are well-known, named, and categorized in
various non-Western lands and tribal societies, yet knowledge of such kinds of
experiences is not culturally transmitted in the Western world. In other words,
certain kinds of spiritual experiential formats or potentialities are somehow built
into the human mind. And such experiences will occur to people regardless of
whether that particular kind of experience is acknowledged and catalogued in
those people’s cultural traditions or not.
For instance, in China, there is an ancient, well-established tradition of what
are known as birth dreams. Pregnant Chinese mothers often communicate
through dreams with the yet-to-be-born individuals they are carrying in their
wombs. In China, this is all acknowledged, understood, and appreciated. Yet the
same thing happens among Americans as well, as a poignant story in this book
illustrates, despite the cultural void that surrounds the phenomenon in the United
States.
States.
To me, this is an astonishing fact about human nature. There is a universal
format, as it were, of spiritual experiences deeply embedded in us all that
transcends particular human cultures. The Afterlife Healing Circle touches on
this and many other important, unexplored domains of human consciousness. As
this book shows, unleashing such hidden spiritual powers can greatly benefit the
living and perhaps bring balance to the dead.
Raymond Moody, MD, is a psychiatrist and author of the international
bestselling book Life After Life about the near-death experience, a term he
coined. His pioneering research into the question of life after death helped
legitimize the subject. In the 1970s he and a small group of fellow researchers
formed the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), which
continues today as one aspect of the worldwide study of the case for postmortem
existence.
