The Divine Within: Healing Ourselves to Heal the World

What if the very emotions and sensations you’ve been taught to avoid are actually sacred invitations?
In The Divine Within, licensed therapist, Reiki Master, and spiritual guide Allison Batty-Capps offers a compassionate, research-informed path to personal healing, spiritual awakening, and embodied transformation.
Drawing from her 15+ years of work in mental health, energy healing, and mindfulness practices—as well as her own lived experience navigating trauma and mysticism—Allison invites you into a journey of remembering: of reconnecting to the wisdom that has always been within.
This isn’t just another self-help book. It’s a sacred guide for those ready to embrace the full spectrum of their humanity—and discover the healing that flows from wholeness.

A Guide Rooted in Experience
At the heart of this book is a simple but profound message: the path to peace begins within.
Inspired by a life-changing mystical dream in 2008—and shaped by nearly two decades of study and practice—Allison writes from a place of embodied wisdom. She shares her own path from spiritual crisis to integration, weaving together personal stories and client experiences to offer a grounded, relatable, and deeply hopeful message.
Allison’s work draws from several world religions and spiritual traditions, somatic therapies, neuroscience research, and trauma-informed care. Her integrative approach speaks to seekers of all kinds—whether you're rooted in a particular faith, exploring spirituality on your own terms, or drawn to a more science-based lens.
