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. Candace L. Talmadge 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. Sample -- Chapter 4: Into the Garden Humpty-Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty-Dumpty had a great fall; All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put Humpty together again. --(traditional nursery rhyme) "It was as though he was raping God." Still moved by what she had witnessed and shared with her client in a recent therapy session, Jana was trying to describe to Candace what possibly could motivate a man to sexually assault his daughter, a mere six-month-old baby in a crib. That infant was now a woman we'll call Louise, who at age 34 came to Jana for her first Sunan therapy late in 1990. Employed in the human resources department of an insurance company, Louise had been in traditional therapy, on and off, as well as numerous 12-Step self-help groups since age 18. She had wanted to see a therapist at age 14, but her mother would not allow her to do so. And had Jana known that Louise's traditional therapist had diagnosed her in 1989 as suffering from multiple personality disorder (MPD), Jana might not have had enough confidence to accept Louise as a client for two reasons. First, back in 1990 we knew less about what types of problems the Sunan method is capable of addressing than we do now, and we still do not know the full potential of Sunan. Second, we were well aware that for some time, MPD has been one of the most controversial issues in the field of mental health. Jana initially agreed to work with the woman because Jana could feel the depth and intensity of Louise's desire to heal herself and her willingness to face self. That is the extent of what we look for in candidates for Sunan therapies. Unlike traditional therapists, we don't need to ask clients for detailed personal histories because we don't diagnose. In this process, it is clients' guides (angels) who choose what issues are to be examined. Louise's story became more fully known to us as she continued over the years with intermittent Sunan sessions and attended classes at our institute. Louise remained a client because she was courageous and tenacious enough not to allow anyone's fears (hers or ours) to stop her. Louise had lived with pain, chaos and misery all of her life. Louise was never able to adjust to growing up. She felt alienated at many different levels of her being. She felt hollow inside and broken, without any ability to understand wh
