Stepping Out

The spirit can heal the body! "Stepping Out" is the true story of a woman diagnosed as a permanent paraplegic learning to walk again, of an anthropologist exploring the mystical realms of spiritual healers, of an atheist's transformation into a spiritual healer. The message sings with optimism: "If I can recover, others can too". We learn of difficulties with physicians who prefer passive patients, unexpected reactions of children and husband, incredible love and support from family and friends, and help from alternative therapists -- and spiritual healers. Alice's spirit soared as she immersed herself in an anthropological study of the healers' unseen energies and Brazilian psychic surgeons. We learn the beliefs and practices of spiritual healers when she herself begins to treat clients. Are you surprised that she now walks with only a cane, and sees her illness as a gift?
