Hope is in the Garden

Hope is in the Garden: Healing Resolution Through Unconditional Love introduces an alternative healing method known as Sunan therapy. This method is very different from traditional analytical or behavioral therapy. It even differs from other, better known nontraditional approaches. Why? Sunan therapy is more complete. This book explains how and why Sunan therapy is more complete, using actual case histories. Even more important, Hope focuses on the exciting insights into changing and healing personal and collective reality that the Sunan method teaches us. These insights include: Healing resolution doesn't have to take as long as most of us believe, and it doesn't have to be as painful or as much of a struggle as most of us fear. Healing self actually helps the outer world because all of us are connected spiritually and emotionally through the equality of matter, energy, unconditional love and consciousness, otherwise stated as E = mc2.

Lead author Candace L. Talmadge has been a professional writer since 1976. During her career as a journalist, she worked for or contributed to numerous print media, including Adweek, Business Week, Dallas Times Herald, Forbes, International Herald Tribune, The New York Times, Orange County Register, and Reuters.

Born in Los Angeles, California, Candace spent her high school years in England, where she learned about the subjunctive and iambic pentameter, among other fine points of English grammar. She met Jana L. Simons and undertook her first sessions of Sunan therapy in 1986, cofounding the Sattva Institute with Jana that year. Candace became a Sunan therapist in 1988 and is now writing the definitive new age novel.

Jana L. Simons

Coauthor Jana L. Simons' resume looks like it belongs to several different people. At the age of 20, the native of Fort Worth, Texas, entered Texas Christian University intending to become a minister of religious education. Realizing that organized religion was not the route for her, Jana then worked in various fields, including automotive retailing, commercial aviation, financial services, and food service. At one time she owned her own restaurant.

In 1985, Jana re-established contact with her guides during a time of personal crisis, and undertook training as an intuitive counselor. With the help of her guides and of Dr. Sunan, she began to develop the framework of what would evolve into Sunan therapy. Through the Sattva Institute, Jana teaches retreat classes in spiritual growth, and trains intuitive counselors and Sunan therapists. She also offers private counseling and Sunan therapy to individuals.
