The noble and timeless dream of healing is the eradication of all forms of suffering and the attainment of health, happiness, and wholeness. Throughout time and across diverse cultures individuals have continuously sought in their unique ways to heal suffering, aid the recovery of health, and reach towards the highest potential available to humankind. With that aim in mind wise healers, past and present, have sought to unlock the elusive mystery of healing. With great care and precision they have bequeathed us their wisdom.
