Editorial Reviews

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

I woke up that morning in the summer of 1992 and realized I finally had to face whatever it was that had made my tummy grow so large over the last few months. I just couldn't stay in denial any longer. Some part of me knew there was something seriously wrong inside, and that I was finally going to have to face the doctors and get it checked out

I didn't want to believe that anything could be possibly be "wrong" with me. It seemed I had been doing everything right! I'd been extremely health conscious, proactively conscientious for over twelve years, I ate vibrant, nourishing, vegetarian food, drank only pure, clean, filtered water and rebounded on a mini trampoline every day. I lived in a little cottage on the beach in Malibu, California, and breathed fresh sea air. More important, because of all the personal growth work I'd done over the years, I was already happening naturally. I was deeply fulfilled in my marriage, loved my kids, and felt enlivened by and extremely grateful for my work--traveling the world giving seminars, inspiring others to create vibrant health. My life was everything I had ever longed for.

I'd spent a lifetime attending workshops and seminars, learning everything I could about healing the body and the spirit. It seemed my entire life was about living the principles of health and well-being--I defintely "walked my talk." Yet here I was faced with a tummy so large that I looked pregnant, though I knew I wasn't. How could this be when I was doing everything right?

Embarassed and ashamed, I couldn't admit my fears to even my closest friends. Here I was, "an expert," teaching others how to take charge of their health. yet I couldn't even zip up my loosest-fitting slacks.

Saved my life and made me whole
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2017

I've bought dozens of copies of this book over the years to give away to others who were interested. I've even left some on park benches, even though I usually hate any kind of proselytizing... This healing work is nothing short of amazing, it turned my life around completely.

I truly believe it can help almost anyone, because it sets in motion a natural healing process, using the body's innate ability (just like healing bruises or other injuries). It will always show you what is the next step on your Journey, which is often totally different than what you thought it would be. It also helps you connect with your own inner truth (which may also be totally different than what you thought it would be...) and with the parts of yourself you may have rejected or may not have access to, so the whole personality can come into harmony and blocks can be released.

The book gives you a wonderful introduction to the work and the principles on which it is based. Just be aware that the Journey goes to very deep levels of your being and your experience, so the process can be very emotional and intense! Also, once you've done the process a few times and your old, ossified personality has clocked that it's being deconstructed, you can expect the corresponding amount of resistance to come up! The bigger the changes you wish to create the more you have to persevere in the work, despite all obstacles. That's just how life is I suppose...

The basic process work is included in the book, and the book is even available for free as an ebook, so I don't think it's fair to dismiss it as a "marketing ploy". It's valid to point out that you can have a deeper experience by attending a group seminar where you're immersed in the work for several days. That's usually true in my experience.

On a final note, the Publishers Weekly review above is very inaccurate. "Emotional reckoning and relaxation", well, that's part of it but that's not the essence of the Journey. Read the book and try the healing work for yourself, you won't regret it!

Interesting approach to self-healing. I actually went to Sedona to do journey work with two healers - very interesting and productive experience. I'm a bit of a skeptic on miracle cures, and I don't think this approach is miraculous, but if one is ready to change, and ready to do the work, and open to working with highly skilled spiritual guides - if one is READY for forgiveness and moving forward in life, this book/approach offers one viable venue.

Brandon Bays story is engaging as she shares her personal journey of healing. The book teaches the system and even gives you a script you can use. I liked this book so well that I even went to a Journey workshop. I've been to a variety of workshops and I saw some great breakthroughs for some of the people attending. I think this is a great tool for people who do counseling to integrate into their resources. You can do some real healing reading this book and taking the journey.

I guess I want to add one more thing. I don't think there is any such thing as a panacea. Nothing is everything to everyone. The price of a book is a simple investment if it will bring you any degree of healing. I believe it to be worthwhile to explore and I'm really glad I read it. Best blessings!

I bought this book two days before I took the Journey seminar in Los Angeles on May 17 & 18, 2003. I loved the book; it was an easy read about a deep subject - getting in touch with who you really are - could sound like new age woo-woo to some but let me tell you this is the most cutting edge healing and freeing process available that I have found. I've taken tons of seminars and have been a healer myself for many years but this is a gift of astronomic proportions. If you are ready for it, the freedom you have been seeking is here. In my opinion - and it's only my opinion based on my actual experience - it is the most important work being done for individuals in pain on the planet at this time.

Lifealtering? Probably not. Helpful? Yes.

How much of the material in this book is true? IDK. I had a "Journey" after finishing this book. I had some realizations, and those realizations were useful, but I didn't have some type of life altering epiphany like the ones described.

Of course, you cannot take everything purported in this book to be true. Every self-help book is like this. When they make claims that after going on a Journey your eye sight will be fixed and your lung tumor will disappear, it sounds like some baptist preacher type of thing where the guys cures people of incurable diseases by slapping them on the forehead. Don't expect simply spending 3 hours looking at your emotions will fix every problem you have both emotionally and physically.

As for the actual book, she's pretty insufferable in a Tim Ferris type of way. "Ohhh I eat nothing but fresh, vibrant vegetables, and I ... (continue with the list of healthy "high level" things that she does)."

Some of the conversations that she purported to have are so unnatural that they sound something out of a 1960s sitcom like the Bradey Bunch or something like that.

This book is 200 pages long, which seems to be the minimum required length of any book. It seems to be the case that the book needed to be padded out to meet this requirement because the middle of the book is pretty redundant and filled with stories of her client's having their problems immediately fixed by going on a Journey and having epiphanies and whatnot.

This book was referred to me by a friend while we were in some discussion and I'm so glad I did grab a copy of this book.
The author has written this book so well to explain the entire concept for each and everyone to follow. Initially she has explained her journey of what made her eventually write this book The Journey. She has explained how she healed her own tumour. Then since it worked for her she decided to use it to help others, as you read ahead she has explained how different people with different conditions and different age group used this same concept to heal themselves emotionally and physically as well. In the end she has given proper guidance of how you can use this with the help of a partner and heal yourself. The last 2 chapters have all the details, step by step that is required to apply this healing process.

The best part I felt was while reading the book I felt better and I was totally convinced to try this and experience it myself. It makes me think that for sure the experience will be surreal in itself and hence should do this process on myself.
