Miracles on the Camino The Camino de Santiago has been a holy pilgrimage across northern Spain for more than a thousand years. When retired journalist Mike Gardner began walking from St. Jean-Pied-de-Port, in April, 2018, he didn't know if he would make it. The Camino is an extraordinary physical challenge of 800 kilometres, taking pilgrims around five weeks to complete - though the majority fail along the way. Mike believes he was accompanied on his pilgrimage by powerful, supernatural forces. He made friends from all over the world and, he says, they were touched by the hand of God. He met cocaine addicts, alcoholics, reformed alcoholics, pilgrims with millions of pounds, one walker who was so poor his budget was five euros a day, airline pilots, plumbers, and one amazing lady from New Zealand, who overcame a lifetime of mental anguish, in one divine moment. Mike says he witnessed four miracles, and enjoyed dozens of experiences that were either the result of mystic forces or coincidences that stretch the laws of statistics way, way beyond breaking point. On the pilgrimage, he acquired two sons, three daughters, three sisters, and brothers too numerous to put a figure on. His life affirming journey is the essence of everything that is so wonderful about this unique place - there is nowhere like it on Earth. He originally posted his story as a daily blog, where, late at night, he would record his journey on a mobile phone, and without notes, exhausted but invigorated and keen to put on record his incredible experiences, while everything was fresh in his mind. It was shared all over the world and by the time he reached Santiago, it was being read by thousands of people. This paperback is his story, updated and with more than 70 photographs. It is entirely truthful, uplifting, poignant and ultimately triumphant.

A new approach to using walking to heal emotional trauma and bring forth optimal mental functioning • Explores why and how we carry emotional wounds, and how they can be healed and resolved • Shows how walking stimulates both sides of the brain to promote and restore mental health • Provides simple, yet potent, mental exercises to use while walking Our bodies usually heal rapidly from an illness, injury, or wound. Yet our minds and hearts often suffer for years with debilitating symptoms of distress or upset. Why is it so hard for our minds and hearts to heal? The key to healing them is simple and can be just a short walk away. Walking--a bilateral therapy that has been a part of human life throughout history--allows people to heal emotionally as quickly as they do physically. Bilateral therapies engage both sides of the brain and unlock natural states of optimal function and creativity. Thom Hartmann examines how memory works and why emotional shock can resist normal healing. He found that the simple act of walking is effective in treating emotional disturbances ranging from temporary upsets and problems to chronic conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. Case studies have shown dramatic results. Walking consciously, while holding a distress or desire in mind, can rapidly dissolve the rigidity of a traumatic memory or negative mind state, dispersing its unpleasant associations in as little as a half hour’s time. While walking has always been a natural part of life, its importance in promoting and maintaining mental health is only recently being rediscovered. Hartmann’s simple yet potent exercises allow us to create our own walking journeys to restore our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being as well as rejuvenate our body’s health.

A pilgrimage to the Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela. It was by fate that I found this path and it became one of the greatest adventures of my life.

The path was a unique window into historical, natural and cultural beauty, but even more than that, it was a walk into more depth within my own being. It became a journey of healing and self-love. The many gifts, lessons, and miracles that I came to discover along this path allowed me to see how the path mirrors our journey to any destination we have in mind. Arriving at Santiago de Compostela, I was transformed and the gifts the path brought me was more than I ever thought was possible. In this book, I tell the story of that adventure as well as the countless powerful lessons I learned in the hope that it may of service to you. May the lessons I learned shine more light on your journey to whatever destination that may be pulling at your consciousness at this moment. Buen Camino - Good Way to You.
