The author, Dr. Willem Naude, grew up in South Africa, in a middle class environment, with strong influence from his architect father and his mother’s enthusiasm for science and philosophy.

He started his journey as a conventional general medical practitioner in a remote village in South Africa, where he could not rely on advanced technology. This led to the discovery of the power of suggestion and the inherent ability of the individual to heal through the psycho-dynamics of belief.

He developed a special interest in holistic medicine and studied hypnotherapy, when he moved to the big city of Johannesburg. His passion for the fascinating world of the subconscious mind grew into a special skill as a transpersonal hypnotherapist.

He became a diplomate of the South African Society of Clinical Hypnotherapy and a member of the International Society for Clinical hypnotherapy. He was actively involved on the Executive of SASCH and trained many professionals in the skills he aquired. He also featured in the media on talk shows and present regular workshops on the subject to professional and the public.

The more he worked within the marvelous world of the subconscious and spiritual realm, the more he gravitated towards an esoteric understanding of life. The book was a natural outflow from this journey.

Willem Naude lives and works as a medical doctor and transpersoal hypnotherapist in the UK at present.
