Karmic Healing

by Dr. Laurel Clark

This is the story of a friend, a wife, a spiritual teacher enriched by her experiences as she walked with her husband through the strange and surreal world of modern medicine during a six-year ordeal with diabetes, blindness and kidney failure.

Dr. Clark relates how she learned to view disease from the soul’s perspective. She used prayer, meditation, and metaphysics to comprehend the purpose for it all. Journaling her inner reflections and growing spiritual awareness, she raises questions about life and death that will challenge your belief system. Her insight into modern medical science coupled with her desire to understand the fundamental principles of life is inspiring and thought provoking.

Anyone who reads this book will be transformed.

This may be the hardest book you will ever read. Hard because it is real. Hard because it brings you face to face with pain, loss, sadness, illness, and the struggles of living in an imperfect world. At the same time, you may experience the most profound and uplifting change in your consciousness as you discover how to find peace during stressful times and to be centered in the enduring power of love.



“Understanding the Universal Truths, the meaning of all this, helps me to have some perspective on this experience. If I can use this crazy roller-coaster to help someone else,
it will be worth the emotional ups and downs.” -- Dr. Laurel Clark

Dear Dr. Clark,

I just finished reading Karmic Healing. Thank you so very much for writing it. The experiences you wrote about in dealing with the medical profession I have experienced. Your spiritual growth during the years chronicled in this book I can completly relate to as I have been in such a similar situation. I have just completed the 1st dreaft of my own book in which I am sharing the trials and tribulations I encountered during my son’s life (who was also a dialysis patient) in dealing w/ medical profession and metaphysical healing. He led me to your book because so many times as I ‘m writing I thing “Who would ever be able to relate to this story or believe the drama my family went through”. My book reads like a heavy drama play. Again thanks for Karmic Healing and Many Blessing to you. -- M.

Dear Dr. Clark

Karmic Healing is really the story of a hero’s quest, viewed archetypally. John (can be) seen as a noble figure with a tragic flaw. You are cast in the role as helper, guide. He has touched you and brought out some capacities with you, and now you are on the hero’s quest with him to help him overcome his traic flaw of not doing what he is supposed to do to guard his health.

Karmic Healing is a powerful book which puts the reader through what you went through to some extent, so for those who stick with it, they end up with a powerful experience.

Perhaps the transformational experience you underwent has been communicated to me through reading the book. Reading the book seemed to awaken some kind of intelligent energy within my various bodies that is “opening up the love circuits.” That is the best term I know to describe it. It is like a kundalini experience, maybe it is kundalini. It is very intense.

Apparently I have either experienced or come close to experiencing what you might describe in your terms as Loving the way God loves. It is a very blissful form of love seeingly without attachment and characterized by a profound inner peace. It is really quite remarkable. There are probably many factors that precipitated this experiene, my good relationship with my wife, my contact with the school, with Barbara, reading the books of school, soing the dream work, my own Rainbow Bridge work. And yet a experienced this state of love, and perhaps that vibration is in the book for those who are ready and receptive. This is similar to the Eastern tradition where the guru touches the disciple and precipitates the very state that the guru is in. The percise mechanism I am not sure of, but I am very grateful for your help. Thank you!

From my own personal perspective Karmic Healing is one of the best books from the school.

Read a selection from this book

Not too long ago, the television program 20/20 featured a story about a family (Christian Scientists, I believe), who practiced faith healing. According to their belief, God is the Great Physician and modern medical treatments are unnecessary and go against God’s plan. This particular family was notable because the parents had been arrested when their young son died after they had refused antibiotics for him. The doctors said that the antibiotics, commonly accepted treatment for his infection, would have saved his life. The parents were acquitted. Then, their 16-year-old daughter was diagnosed with diabetes. The parents gave her the choice to pursue modern medical treatment, meaning insulin injections, or to use faith healing alone. They said she was old enough to make her own decision about this important issue. The young girl chose to undergo an anointing ceremony, in which she gave herself up to God. She was saying, “God, you decide. If it’s my time to die, so be it. If you want me to live, let me know and I will be healed.” Shortly afterward, the girl died in a diabetic coma, a quick and painless death.

After the death of their second child the parents were arrested again and were in prison at the time of the television interview. The 13 other children in the family believed that their parents had done the right thing and believed that their sister was with God. They missed her and wished her well.

This show was very stimulating to me because I live with a man whose life has been shaped by his decision to allow medical science to manage his diabetes. He has not been healed and daily injections of insulin have not given him health, but they have prolonged his existence in this particular physical body. I have wondered what his life would be like if he had made a similar decision to this young girl; to give himself to God and let universal law guide his existence. Would he have experienced a sudden, miraculous healing? Or would he, like her, have died? Would the entity that is now named John Clark be already incarned in a different physical body, perhaps one that is healthy?
