Beyond Words is an insightful book presenting a modern view for communicating: the body-mind-spirit approach. It appeals to the curious mind who wants to know how to improve communication in one or more languages.

Beyond Words unlocks a door on some of the elements that enter communication. Words and silences, communicate. Facts and feelings communicate. Communicating is part of what human beings do to reach out, or sometimes to lash out. Separate, yet distinct, we are part of a whole, created with a need to interact with one another. How and what we communicate, how and what we listen to, affects our perceptions.

Beyond Words suggests ways to tap into your own creative source of power, to lift you to a higher platform where you can feel communication more authentic, more satisfying.

Beyond Words lifts the curtain open on many of the reasons why we don't experience mutually satisfying communication, and how we can move from that space to a more positive one. Why bother? Because we will need to get along with others as long as we live. Anger, distrust, gossiping, often result from something mis-communicated, mis-perceived, mis-understood, mis-handled, and then translate themselves into illnesses, violence, rage, lack, separation, hurt.

Beyond Words takes you behind the physical façade of words. When you are done reading it, the author hopes that you will realize what creative power you own, a power so great, you can crush or maim...or, a power so great, you can beautify and love. It is within your control, within the choices that you make, to show we care about one another, by better listening, better communicating.

Namaste, said a wise sage. The divine in me salutes the divine in you.
