The depth and breadth Maggio delves into are a delight for the reader with an interest in the human energy field. He covers the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual realms in an easily-accessible fashion. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the human condition and the therapeutic approaches to help elevate our shared experience of life on Earth as well as in making the world a touch better and then some.” * Kenneth Koles, Ph.D., D.Sc., L.Ac., practitioner of CranioSacral Therapy (CST) and Oriental medicine * “In his book CranioSacral Therapy for Grief and Loss, Diego Maggio beautifully addresses grief and loss from a complete holistic perspective.

His in-depth knowledge and honoring of CranioSacral Therapy give the uncanny experience of feeling Dr. Upledger’s presence.” * Carol McLellan, CMT, CST-D, CPO-D, instructor at Upledger Institute International * “The Sky Above Berlin (Der Himmel über Berlin) is a film in which angels wandering in the city observe people while listening to their thoughts. I remember a scene in which an angel enters a library, and so the people reading silently simultaneously gives voice to all the authors of the books. Diego Maggio may not be an angel, but in his book we find the same consonance of that library coupled with the strength of his thought, which transforms into a natural therapeutic gesture.” * Thea Keber, organizational secretariat of Cranio-Sacrale Upledger Italia *
