At 326 pages, Invisible Roots is loaded with tons of information on healing our lives both at the soul energy level and the physical. Throughout the book, Dr. Stone provides valuable and useful information on multiple healing levels and approaches. This book will appeal to both the lay person, who may be a beginner in learning of the real energetic nature of the human body, and the clinician looking for more ways to improve and complement their skill set.

This book is a delightful and interesting read starting with the stories of Dr. Bernie Siegel, whose foreword piece sets the stage for the rest of the book. His stories involve angels, near death experiences, spiritual healing, spirit guides, messages from the other side, synchronistic events, and past-life memory. What a great introduction for Dr. Stone’s work.

In the introduction to Invisible Roots, Dr. Stone provides her background, how she was led, kicking and screaming like so many others such as Dr. Brian Weiss and Dr. Michael Newton, into this new realm of thought, belief, and healing. Dr. Stone coined the phrase Soul Detective, which is a very apt name to the type of work she does and addresses here in Invisible Roots. Her protocols remind me of a keen detective at work, asking simple yet highly methodical questions to zero in on the root cause of her clients’ issues.

The book is divided into three sections: Earthbound Sprits, Past-life Trauma, and Root Causes. The first two sections, Earthbound Spirits, and Past-life Trauma consist of ten stories each. Within each story is a story of healing as well as an inside look into her methodology and protocol for healing. Root Causes, Section 3, is really the meat and potatoes of the book. Here is where you will find the many and varied causes of dis-ease and issues of ill health and how to effectively deal with them. This section is divided into 3 parts detailing Levels of Healing, what she calls Intuitive Level issues, and working with couples and their past-life issues brought forth into this lifetime.

Part 1: Levels of Healing identifies and explains the 5 levels in the human energy system, how they are interrelated, and how issues originating on any one level have a trickle down effect that eventually manifests in the physical body.

In Part 2 she discusses Intuitive Level Issues, comprised of such things as Curses and Hexes, Earthbound Spirits, Energetic Cords, and Soul Loss. For each issue she provides case examples and clearly written protocols for healing. The inclusion of the protocol is clearly preferred to the approach of some authors who stop short of telling the reader how and instead advertises some special training the author has to offer.

The 3rd part of Section 3 details working with couples on past-life issues and provides the protocol for doing so.

Last but not least are 6 appendices containing more valuable information in the way of energy treatments and balancing and sources to investigate for training for some of the methods she uses in the cases presented in this book.

All in all Invisible Roots is a valuable addition to any clinician or lay person’s library. Thank you, Dr. Stone, for your contribution towards the healing of humanity, both incarnated and otherwise.
