After seven years of research, I'm finally writing my long-awaited book Sacred Medicine, the third book in the trilogy, following up Mind Over Medicine and The Fear Cure. I know a lot of you are kind of waiting on pins and needles for this book, and I feel a little daunted by the responsibility of all the wisdom, experiences, blessings, insight, and knowledge I’ve been gifted as part of my research. I feel like I need to bring the same kind of rigor to this book that I’ve brought to the others, yet this subject is hard to be scientifically rigorous with, given the nature of consciousness and its relationship to healing.

When I was talking to Richard Schwartz about how the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model came to be, he said, “It required me to be willing to be wrong dozens of times in the thirty years I’ve spent creating it.” Since I finished writing my book Mind Over Medicine in 2011, I’ve learned so much and proven myself wrong time and again. Any good scientist needs to be willing to assert a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, and then collect evidence that either proves or disproves the hypothesis without attachment to whether the hypothesis is right or wrong.
In my blog "Why It Doesn’t Help To Demonize Your Ego, Your Mind or Your Protector Parts," I alluded to how much I resonate with Internal Family Systems (IFS), the trauma healing method developed by family therapist Richard Schwartz, PhD. When I was first introduced to the therapeutic model, I had goose bumps all over my body, because IFS is the “how” of how to lead an Inner Pilot Light-led life.
I’m teaching three Fear Cure workshops this year, first, a one-day workshop at the New York Open Center in March, then a five-day workshop at Kripalu in May, then at 1440 Multiversity in Santa Cruz in September. These workshops combine content and transformational processes that touch upon my book The Fear Cure, as well as my new book The Daily Flame. The ultimate Fear Cure is really about making contact with the part of you I call your “Inner Pilot Light—” the divine spark inside of you that is wise enough, mature enough, and loving enough to love and heal all of your scared parts so they can relax and let your Inner Pilot Light take the lead.
