Beverley Buckley did not realise that information she accessed during a meditation session held on a rainy Saturday afternoon in Sydney early in the 1990's would transform her life and the lives of hundreds of others. Following the meditation, she wrote that her higher purpose was "to access information that would allow people to remember and understand that they have the power to heal themselves and to be whatever they choose to be". Understandably, she was skeptical that the information she had accessed had any basis in reality.
A decade later, Beverley understood the process by which people could heal themselves but it took much longer to convince herself that what she had discovered wasn't just something she was imagining. She called the process Stress Defusion and it facilitated bringing information held in people's sub-conscious minds to conscious awareness. In many cases, it meant encouraging people to face their deepest fears.
Without medical training Beverley needed to understand the process she was working with. Without understanding she could not explain it. This required years of research to identify information from mainstream scientific research that supported what she was seeing. It involved assembling information accessed by hundreds of people in order to identify and understand the patterns of peoples' lives and indeed, the patterns of humanity as a whole... and it involved seeing what happened over time when people who worked with the Stress Defusion process.
Everything in Its Place tells the story of people who sought help to heal their lives. It explains how they created their lives to be the way they were - and what they needed to do to change the things in their lives that they didn't like.
Being born female into a middle class suburban Sydney household in the 1930's meant being raised in the manner befitting a future wife and mother. Good deportment, correct speech and obedience were encouraged. Academic achievement and preparation for a lifelong career were discouraged because "a woman's role was in the home". Life went pretty much according to the plan established for Beverley as a child, except for the fact that she earned a scholarship to Sydney University. Against the wishes of her parents, she completed a Bachelor of Arts degree, after which she drifted into the world of advertising and public relations. Later, married, with three young children she became a teacher, something she had vowed she would never do. An upbringing like the one described was unlikely preparation for what was to follow. Having fulfilled the job description of wife and mother, and seen her three children launched into successful careers, Beverley chose to pursue the goal of finding out why some children had learning difficulties and what, if anything, could be done to help them overcome those difficulties. What she discovered was far different from what she expected. Her investigation into learning difficulties led her down a rabbit hole into a world that hitherto she did not know existed. Everything in its Place is the story of what Beverley discovered.
