Dr. Ronald Bissell has spent his life caring for patients in pain and suffering from physical ailments. His experiences led him to create inspirational books and articles to help people overcome the effects of disease and begin the healing process. Due to his own illness he was forced to take a long hiatus and retire from his surgical practice. Recently, with the advent of speech recognition software he has begun to once again write inspirational articles. After studying meditation and its affects on the body for the past 35 years he offers a unique perspective on the process of living life to the fullest in spite of a painful illness and its associated limitations. He understands in a personal way how disease can rob a person of their life's work, change one's life journey, and cause a shift in perspective.  He continues to expand his awareness of living a spiritually based life and seeks to communicate how following the spiritual path can change your life and aid in the healing of soul and body. His awakening has changed the direction and scope of many lives. Look for new articles of inspiration as Dr. Bissell finds his path toward wellness. "I'm excited to announce a new beginning and new direction in my work on changing lives. Twelve years ago I closed my surgical practice due to a neuromuscular disease with its accompanied chronic fatigue and severe depression. It not only caused me to close my surgical practice but it also caused an inability for me to write as I have done for years. I was determined to pursue my creative passion.    It took me over 10 years to overcome many limitations and to find a new direction for my work. That direction became a life saving therapy and over time created a new venue for me to explore. Writing remains difficult, however, creating and presenting multimedia workshops has become my new journey and has given me a tremendous gift of joy. This new journey of creating, presenting, and speaking to groups is my new path. I enjoy awakening participants to the potential of their spiritual nature.    I trust many of you will once again follow my work. Your encouragement and well wishes in the past gave me strength, courage, and determination to once again create from my heart,. I hope many of you will  join me in one of my workshops where I can personally meet, thank you, and encourage you to overcome obstacles along your path. Until then, I look forward to meeting you here at Authorsden.com.
