Synopsis
For over thirty-two years, Stephen and Ondrea Levine have provided emotional and spiritual support for those who face life-threatening illness and for their caregivers. Through their healing and forgiveness workshops, many writings, and compassionate interaction with others, they have deeply touched the lives of people throughout the world. The Healing I Took Birth For is the heartfelt sharing of Ondrea Levine's life of service. It's a deeply inspiring example of how one faces illness, great personal difficulties, spiritual practice, grace-and the spiritual unfolding from a limited sense of self into the deathless essence of pure Being. The catalyst for sharing Ondrea's story came about as a result of a medical prognosis that foretold the end of a lifetime of spiritual exploration. In this deeply touching collaboration between Ondrea and Stephen, they struggle with the heart-breaking/heart-healing task of trying to express, through the limitations of language, both Ondrea's inner experiences and the significant outward events in her life-or, as Ondrea likes to call it, a "love story." "This is the most intimate collaboration of any we have worked on," says Stephen, "It gave us an even deeper opportunity to be within each other's experience in a most remarkable way. It was nothing short of grace to be able to write this story in her first person singular. It represents part of her healing process as well as mine." "Stephen and Ondrea's teachings have served as a profound source of wisdom and inspiration for me over the years. Their work is created from a place of reverence and compassion, and as such benefits all who seek to live with a clarity, resolve and an open heart." -Rich Fernandez, Ph.D., head of Learning & Organizational Development, eBay Stephen and Ondrea Levine are the authors of more than ten books, including Who Dies, Embracing the Beloved, and A Year to Live. While they live in relative isolation in northern New Mexico, the www.LevineTalks.com website is a way for them to connect with an outside audience and continue their teaching work.

Review
"We have been patiently waiting for The Healing I Took Birth For. It is a deeply inspiring account of a life devoted to healing and compassionate service. This beautiful book is filled with grace, love, and humanity. Like a pearl diver, Ondrea dives deep in her own wounds to find the gift that can serve others." --Frank Ostaseski, founder of the Metta Institute
"For decades, Ondrea and Stephen have offered themselves in selfless service to all beings who seek a way home within. Once again, they freely share the intimacies of their lives as dharmic teaching for us all. In telling her story, Ondrea validates and elucidates the path of transforming pain into peace. Ondrea's story is one of her awakening to the beauty of her True Nature. It is also a love story of how the two hearts of Ondrea and Stephen beat as One Heart." --Paula Whang-Ramos, M.Div., Ph.D., psychologist, minister at Center for Spiritual Enlightenment; Rich Ramos, R.N., M.S., Pediatric Oncology Nurse at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital
"Absorbing these vital heart waves of one life. Congratulations on rotating the axis of the universe. Still quivering." --Gary Gach, Buddhist teacher, author, and translator
"As a hospice physician who deals with illness and impending death, I have learned, from Ondrea, the difference between curing the body and healing the shared heart. Ondrea has touched the lives of so many people, and this book will extend her healing work from those who have experienced her compassionate presence to those who will get to know her through her open-hearted words. She is an inspiration to me and to countless others who have been graced by her teachings." --Fred Schwartz, M.D.
"Ondrea Levine's book reveals her courageous willingness to face the inner linings of her heart and the fearful caverns of her ego-mind. The honesty and transparency of her self-exploration is filled with a sensitivity, grace, gentleness, and wisdom that represents the One. Ondrea paves the way for the reader to follow her in an amazing commitment to a uniquely beautiful journey of the heart. This book is truly a love story of how two extraordinary people become one heart as they face the challenges of illness, pain, and death--not seeing them as enemies, but as an exploration of their way to freedom." --Gerald. G. Jampolsky, M.D., founder of Attitudinal Healing; Diane V. Cirincione, Ph.D., CEO of Attitudinal Healing International
"I read this wise and loving journal avidly, with deep gratitude and delight. These intimate old Dharma friends share how broken hearts, nakedly encountering death and mortality, can catalyze open hearts and selfless service. Their grace-full co-meditations and very special brand of partner spirituality will edify and enrich us all." --Lama Surya Das, author of Awakening the Buddha Within and Buddha Standard Time
"In The Healing I Took Birth For, Stephen not only autobiographically accounts Ondrea's life, her selfless service, bouts with illnesses, writings, workshops and more, but takes their teachings to a more intimate place than ever before. Through implementing the insights, wisdom, and knowledge shared in The Healing I Took Birth For, I can unequivocally say that I am a better human being because of it." --Chris Grosso, www.TheIndieSpiritualist.com
"I have been a huge fan of Stephen and Ondrea Levine's work for many years. Their deep, healing and transformative teachings have had a profound impact on my life. They are authentic teachers of great wisdom and heart." --Marci Shimoff, New York Times bestselling author, Happy for No Reason
"This is a brave and intimate, tender and healing story. Great love, strong medicine, just what the heart needs." --Jack Kornfield, author of The Wise Heart
"What a story! And how amazing it seemed as I followed the growth or maturation or . . . or expansion of mind and spirit of someone already so obviously ready, 33 years ago, to hop aboard the same spiritual train where you were punching tickets." --Lee Quarnstrom, writer-practioner-prankster
