The Chiron Effect will be of interest to many and will greatly benefit readers. * His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama * Lisa Tahir has beautifully laid out a new and highly effective pathway to healing core wounds. Her methods are brilliant. A gem of a book. * Katherine Woodward Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Conscious Uncoupling and Calling in * Lisa Tahir brings astrological wisdom to life through reliable psychology. She speaks with honesty and passion, revealing traces of her own battle scars. Relatable, beautiful, and profound. * Benjamin W.

By sharing her personal story--as well as effective methods to break old trauma-based patterns, harness our minds for positive change, and embody unconditional love--Lisa teaches us how to become the free and joyful people we were always meant to be. * Myra Goodman, coauthor of Quest for Eternal Sunshine: A Holocaust Survivor's Journey from Dark * As an astrologer I have always found Chiron to be both a key to understanding the wounds we repeat and the guide to living out our soul's purpose. There has never been, until now, a book that guides astrologers, healing practitioners, and readers alike to articulating that purpose. In The Chiron Effect, Tahir offers a brilliant synthesis of psychology and astrology, but most of all she offers hope for the healing of our souls. * Mari Selby, author of Lightning Strikes Twice * Lisa Tahir writes beautifully about the journey inward, where one can find their greatest power by having the courage and selfcompassion to heal their core wounds. * Ora Nadrich, founder/president of the Institute for Transformational Thinking and author of Says Who * This book is a tender, kind, and compassionate journey into how we heal our core wounds. It blends and weaves astrology with selfhelp healing, creating an integrated approach to the healing of the self. It is useful and timely. * Ronald A. Alexander, Ph.D., author of Wise Mind, Open Mind * Lisa Tahir integrates her deep understanding of personal transformation with a compassionate, insightful, and practical view of the meaning of astrological Chiron. This is a much-needed and powerful resource of healing tools for practitioners and laypeople alike. * Patricia Maher, HMC, MSW, astrologer and homeopath * With The Chiron Effect, Lisa Tahir presents a clear guide and gentle invitation to reveal and decode old, unhealthy patterns and apply the salve of empathy and forgiveness. Lisa remains approachable to the reader with her vulnerable and straightforward writing style. She illuminates a clear depth-process through which we may each awaken our beautiful inner healer and heal core wounding--a deep and accessible resource. * Corey Folsom, relationship coach, Los Angeles, CA * Tahir guides readers through their own personal transformations by using Reiki healing, destroying unhealthy patterns, as well as encouraging self-forgiveness and compassion. * Conscious Community Magazine * All in all, The Chiron Effect is a guide for spiritual development and transformation. Through acknowledging our pain, weaknesses, and wounding based on Chiron in one's astrology chart, Tahir teachers the reader that they can become their own healer. Filled with the love, faith, hope, and optimism that comes through Tahir's writing, readers will be able to see themselves with a bit more clarity and use this awareness to facilitate inner peace. * Alanna Kali, Indie Mystic * There are a number of things I like about this book. We will start with the clear Table of Contents, then the diagrams at the beginning of each Chiron-in-a-sign chapter summarizing the core wounds of that placement, ending these chapters with appropriate affirmations. Also of note are the always helpful index, bibliography and resources appendices. * Lisa Mc Sherry, Facing North *
