Haven Trevino spent more than 12 years studying alternative healing methods and shamanism, and his gentle, accepting spirit shows through every verse his book, The Tao of Healing. Trevino, a student of the Tao Te Ching for many years, began this inspirational work after he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, an event that motivated him "to bring into focus a whole range of creative skills, experiences, lessons, and visions."
"What I have learned (and am still learning) is this: Beneath our shells of pain and darkness lives a light that transcends description and all it takes to reunite us is our intention to do so. This light, or love, is who we truly are, and true healing is remembering this simple truth. For me, this knowledge had been the gift behind the illness, and I am grateful to be able to share some of the facets of this gift with you."
