Summary
Braving the Void is a book about the profound and powerfully unpredictable process of deep healing. At the heart of the book are the amazing stories of what happened to 20 chronically ill people as they struggled with their healing process.Endorsements
This book is a communiqué from the frontiers of healing. Dr. Michael Greenwood invites us to journey beyond the traditional domain of orthodox medicine to those areas of consciousness where healing originates.

In this fascinating book, Dr. Greenwood provides the reader with many insights which point toward the true heart of healing. He compassionately and powerfully recounts the unique journeys taken with his patients as they move together towards a deeper understanding of health. I would highly recommend 'Braving the Void' to all my patients as well as colleagues.

After seventeen years of practising general medicine, this book, as much as any new publication, has changed how I appreciate and approach my patients. Dr. Greenwood, through the presentation of case histories, provides significant illumination to the complexity and mysteries involved with chronic painful conditions. He provides models for understanding and 'techniques' for intervention, but more importantly, provides hope through the 'awesome' healings he has witnessed and recorded.

Reviews
Dr Stephen Sagar
This is an excellent book for healthcare professionals who wish to learn more than they were taught at medical or nursing schools, and for patients with chronic illness and pain secondary to past physical and psychological trauma. I highly recommend it.
Koos Van Kooten
That the author has succeeded in depicting the experiences of his patients without obscuring the sight of the ‘void’ is in my opinion a formidable piece of work. Highly recommended!
Dr. Joanne Shay
In this book, the author provides an easily digestible account of where the "art" of medicine comes from. Dr. Greenwood shares case histories and treatment results with the goal of demonstrating the deeper levels of consciousness that must be unlocked before the doors of healing can be opened. Throughout the book, the healer is presented as an active bystander while the patient must actively find awareness of spirit and body to embrace health and well-being.
Dr. Stephen Faulkner
For physicians and health care workers who are interested in Energy Healing and holistic approaches to health care, this book is a landmark work. Dr. Michael Greenwood's second book "Braving the Void - Journeys into Healing" is a well written, easy to read account of his experiences and insights as a physician and acupuncturist at the Victoria Pain Clinic.
Kim Bowie
I was sometimes challenged by the book and sometimes vindicated in my own treatment approach. Overall I felt enriched by Dr. Greenwood's insights and grateful for his openness. Braving the Void is a book all of us must read.

For those trained to think in polarities, the distance between the practice of conventional family medicine and a doctor sitting in a circle of colleagues with a talking stick to debrief a client's healing process, is inestimable. Such, however, is the nature of polarized thinking.
