During the telling of Michael's Fischman's tale in Stumbling Into Infinity, he finds himself increasingly involved with Guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's work, or "Guruji" as he calls him.

We all find ourselves sitting at Guruji's knee and learning from his wisdom - everything from how and where particular emotions are held in the body, through to accounts of people learning the Sudarshan Kriya breathing method to enable them to de-stress and relax in life, simply by breathing.

Ravi Shankar (born 13 May 1956) is an Indian spiritual leader. He is frequently referred to as "Sri Sri" (honorific) or as Guruji or Gurudev.

He founded the Art of Living Foundation in 1981, a volunteer-based NGO providing social support to the people.

In 1997, he established a Geneva-based charity, the International Association for Human Values, an NGO that engages in relief work and rural development and aims to foster shared global values

Louise Hay's book You Can Heal Your Life has been in publication and on bestseller lists since 1985.

One of my close friends call it her 'health bible' and I always have a copy or two on hand, since there is often a friend around who needs to borrow it.

Louise Hay's groundbreaking work in my view was based partly on her intuition, or inner guidance, that words were spoken in a positive frame help shift our minds and bodies into a better state, or chemical balance.

Modern science now proves what Louise Hay intuited after much work, study and many workshops with people from all walks of life - that detrimental/negative emotional and mental states long held in the body are connected to illness, and conversely, that positive/hopeful affirming emotional and mental states are helpful for our healing.
