Promised by Heaven tells the amazing story of how one woman’s near-death experience and glimpse of heaven led her to discover her gifts of healing and share them with the world.
Dr. Henley writes this book with honesty and humor and the reader can find helpful advice. One of the reasons I enjoyed this book is that Mary Helen Hensley explained heaven similarly to the subjects that described their experiences to Dr. Michael Newton when under hypnosis, for example in his book “Journey of Souls“.
The author had a car accident in 1991 that changed her life forever. Upon impact she felt time stall and temporarily left her body. At that moment, Mary Helen was consumed with a sudden clarity. She realized she had the choice to either remain in her body or exit from the earth. The remainder of the scene unfolded without feeling any pain. She chose to depart from her body—and enter heaven.
In heaven, two angels welcomed her and walked her through the place of light. They encouraged her to go back to earth and help others. When she returned to earth, Mary Helen was suddenly struck with a desire to live a life of service and quickly set out on a journey into metaphysical healing. Her adventures took her to Ireland, where she went on to become a chiropractor, find love and new friendships and become a mother. In addition, she helped numerous people with her gifts of communicating with the dead and seeing into the future.
Exactly like the subjects hypnotized by Dr. Newton, we read about the Beings of Light, the Council, and the bliss and peaceful feelings on the other side. Dr. Henley also explains the importance of dreams and points out more than once that we are responsible for our actions. She learned from her father that it is useless to feel guilty over things that are in the past. It doesn’t make our life any better. Instead, we should learn from them, avoid repeating them and live in the NOW.
She shares how important it is to listen to our inner voice and that we all are following the path we have chosen before we were born. In this context she refers to the book Your Soul’s Plan by Robert Schwartz. She mentions this book because it can be a challenge for people to grasp the concept that we have set up an illness in order to create learning opportunities for or own souls and for those around us. She points out when she is meeting one of her soul mates and explains that we interact very often with the same souls who accompany us on our journeys.
For her, God is one of the many names given to the Divine loving force behind all of our lives. Her faith, trust, and her heart-felt gratitude belong to every Divine Being who has every graced this planet or lovingly watched over our growth and evolution from another realm.
