Healing Your Rift with God: a Guide to Spiritual Renewal and Ultimate Healing

God, says Paul Sibcy, is everything that is. All of us—faithful seekers or otherwise—have some area of confusion, hurt, or denial around this word, or our personal concept of God, that keeps us from a full expression of our spirituality. Healing Your Rift with God is a guidebook for finding your own personal rifts with God and healing them.
     Sibcy explains the nature of a spiritual rift, how this wound can impair your life, and how such a wound may be healed by the earnest seeker, with or without help from a counselor or teacher. Healing Your Rift with God will also assist those in the helping professions who wish to facilitate what the author calls ultimate healing. The book includes many personal stories from the author’s life, teaching, and counseling work, and its warm narrative tone creates an intimate author–reader relationship that inspires the healing process.

Paul Sibcy is the cofounder of Integrated Healing Arts (IHA), a holistic health clinic in Palo Alto, California, where he counsels and teaches classes in meditation, Kriya Yoga, Process Acupressure, and self-development. He is also the founder of Pathways to Self Healing, a not-for-profit spiritual service community offering classes and programs for God realization. He also publishes a quarterly newsletter sent to the hundreds of students and clients of his twenty-two-year career and thousands of patients, clients, and students of IHA.

An adjunct faculty member at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, Paul is a supporting member of many of California’s spiritual and holistic organizations. He has done public relations and advertising writing, taught composition at universities, and worked as a farmer, factory worker, and carpenter. These experiences, as well as his own startling spiritual awakening, provide rich material for his writings and talks.
