Spiritual healing and alternative healing practices are becoming more widely recognized by the general public of the West. Despite its many advances in health care, the medical industry has increased costs, fed addictions to opiates, and has, in many ways, increased people’s expectation of treatment and symptom alleviation – with little or no focus on how to prevent the conditions of disease in the first place.
The healing process can often be even more effective when spiritual healing modalities are combined with allopathic healing techniques. This partnership can accelerate the healing process and promote harmony throughout the mind, body, and spirit.The pages that follow are meant to be a tool and a resource for anyone who reads them. Even more specifically, this book has the power to be a life-changing and potentially life-saving tool.

Very powerful book by Phyllis Giarraffa. A must read for those struggling and seeking peace a harmony in their lives.
This is a book that you will always appreciate
With it’s pages containing the secrets to make our dreams a reality.
This book provides a great deal of Food for Thought.
Regardless of one’s spiritual beliefs it inspires us to consider the many avenues for healing.
Phyllis Ann Giarraffa has taken a spiritually inspired holistic approach to modern health and healing in her transformational book, “Discover Your Power to Heal”. The teachings that she has highlighted have been practiced successfully by people from every walk of life- regardless of their age, sex, culture, or religion.
Now that her material is in workbook form, the practices are even more accessible and simple to digest. The author offers up an easy-to-understand hands-on approach in which she guides you through step-by-step, allowing the reader to examine their own life and implement the attitudes that bring about healing and sustained wellness in a stress-free way.
From our physical, mental, emotional, to spiritual bodies, this workbook is an inspirational journey through all of the aspects of our lives, bringing it all together in the realization that it is all connected- that change does not need to be difficult, that we are powerful spiritual beings, and that truly caring for ourselves is one of the greatest acts of love that we can commit for ourselves, loved ones, and the world at large.
No matter your state of health, this book will transform your life in ways that were before unimaginable. Sometimes all we need is an outside nudge to get us to see that the power has always been in our hands and that taking this power back is not as hard as we have convinced ourselves of it to be. “Discover Your Power to Heal Workbook” is that nudge.
This book allows Christians to reestablish a connection to the divine feminine without compromising their faith. Mary Magdalene understood the deeper teachings of Jesus and kept them alive, teachings that are needed in today’s world. To understand this higher truth takes an expansion of consciousness to connect with the universe through the heart, not the mind. Condemned to be removed from Christianity by the church, her salvation comes from those who seek the scope of her gnosis (knowledge) and wisdom (Sophia) to obtain enlightenment.
Readers will discover Mary Magdalene’s place in the heart of Jesus and in turn help her to finally take her rightful place in history.

I loved this book. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to ponder, learn, and understand more about Mary Magdalene. Provides more information and insight than I have seen before. I have read and loved all three of the books in this series (the other two focus on Mother Mary).
This book is concerning the life and times of Mary, mother of Jesus, and her continued presence throughout history. Through the pages you will find combinations of historical and Biblical accounts, along with inspiring stories that illustrate her life.
From the time before she was born, Mary was preordained to have a calling on her life. She was handpicked to be chosen by God. You will also get a glimpse into the many religious perspectives that show the significance of her life and her role in God’s plan. Her destiny may have been to give birth to the King of Kings, but her life was dedicated to God and to the Works of the Kingdom even after the death of her son.
It is the author’s hope that this book will appeal to those of all religions to gain knowledge of Mary, Mother of Jesus.

The Life of Mary: Chosen and Blessed Among Women (Mother Mary)
This book at last gives Mary, the mother of Jesus, a voice. It is her story, woven together through biblical references, historical knowledge of the times in which she lived, and spiritual influence. With beautiful illustrations throughout, this little book is a must-have for anyone who wants to deepen their relationship with Our Lady.
Mystical Appearances of Mary compiles the most inspirational and fascinating encounters with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, into one magnificent book that is sure to rekindle the faith and hope that lies in each of us.
From war-torn countries to devastating economic depressions, and from times of illness to moments of personal conflict, these stories are further proof of the Blessed Mother’s unconditional love and compassion for us all. She has shone her divine light into the darkest of corners on earth and during our most trying times. All she asks of us is that our faith remains strong.
Spanning apparitions that occurred centuries ago and right up to the modern-day, this book is sure to touch any sincere reader who picks it up. And that is just what it was designed to do, with compelling stories that will leave the reader marveled, but may also inspire all who peruse these pages to put their faith into action.

In her Preface of Mystical Appearances of Mary Phyllis Giarraffa states “What this book is not set up to do is convert anyone to any specific religion… no one is off-limits from being touched by her.” (PAG) To those who believe in the God of Abraham the apparitions discussed in this book have been accepted or ignored by the Vatican and others. The people who experienced them cannot ignore them. There are many apparitions mentioned e.g. Fatima, Lourdes, some less recognized such as the miracle in the Bronx. Fatima has to be believed because on Oct 13 1917, near Fatima, seventy thousand people witnessed the miracle of the sun. Today one may be surprised to know that many apparitions still occur on a more personal level. One may have a saint join them on the way to work one day or, hear the most beautiful woman’s voice say thank you. These events may be shared with a few friends. The believer lives on with these events to their end. Individuals may never experience more than one or, have them as regular occurrence.
If an atheist, or better a fallen away believer, by chance reads this book I would anticipate the hand of God will touch that person’s heart. Would they know it happened? Knowing the over achievement of God, e.g. Wedding of Cana, I believe they may.
Giarrafa continues to state she is not out to convert anyone. Perhaps Giarrafa was inadvertently used as a Spiritual vessel to pen this book. One cannot walk away from it without asking a question or two of God. Be careful what you ask for God sometimes says no. Padre Pio received the Stigmata for 50 years. His visible wounds and mystical ability to read souls is well documented. With the blessings conversely comes the challenge when the gifted or blessed come face to face with demons. Saint Faustina had two words when she faced off with Satan: Jesus Christ; the shepherds of Fatima were taken to see hell by the Blessed Mother.
Mystical Appearances of Mary is an excellent read. I was not aware of the many prayer beads that exist in the many different religions. I can testify to the Rosary as a life changing prayer. If you open your heart when you open the book you may just experience water being changed to wine. “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20:29). God bless you all!
Wonderful well- and little-known accounts of Marian apparitions from around the world, brought together into one book that celebrates Our Lady’s presence throughout time.
This book will take you on a journey that will bring forth some deep questions and discussions on your ideas and beliefs.
Combined into this workbook are ideas and understandings from the Mary’s Series. There are Biblical and historical facts along with some thoughts and theories from Book 1 The Life of Mary – based on Mother Mary; Book 2 Mystical Appearances from Around the World – based on the apparitions, the Rosary and prayer; and Book 3 The True Essence of Mary Magdalene – based on Mary Magdalene, The Gnostics, and the Divine Feminine.
This workbook is broken down into three sections: Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and the Divine Feminine. After each section within each chapter, there are discussion questions about those topics. At the end of each chapter are pages for you to sit and think about what you have learned and write your reflections. There are more reflection pages for you if you need them at the end of the book.
