I'm confident, however, that anyone who is familiar with Wim (we're on a first name basis) will enjoy reading about his life and methodology straight from the horse's mouth.But most of the content of this book can fit into two paragraphs, the rest of it is pure verbiage garbage.

Wim's method is accessible, it is spirtual and it produces accompanying physical symptoms/benefits too.
