Brandon Bays (born August 21, 1953) is an American author and motivational speaker. She has authored New Thought self-help books, and is best known for her 1999 book, The Journey, which became a bestseller in England and Australia.[1]
Biography
[edit]She was born in New York City to an American father and a Romanian mother, who grew up in Vienna, Austria.[2]She worked for Tony Robbins for 10 years, presenting the Living Health program as a Master Trainer.[3]
She is the author of the book The Journey, first published in 1999 and later reissued in 2012.[4] The book has been translated into multiple languages and forms the basis for her therapeutic approach.[5]
Bays claims that her healing method originated from a personal health experience in which she was diagnosed with a large abdominal tumor.[6] She recovered without surgery or conventional medical treatment over a six-week period.[7] She attributes her recovery to a process involving emotional release, accessing subconscious memories, forgiveness, and a form of spiritual connection she describes as "Source" or "infinite intelligence."[8]
Following this experience, Bays developed The Journey Method, a process-based approach that combines emotional introspection and guided self-inquiry.[9]
Brandon was deeply influenced by a spiritual teacher she fondly calls 'Papaji' ( H. W. L. Poonjaji ) whom she met in Lucknow, India in the early 90s.[10] Papaji was a teacher of self inquiry in the tradition of the sage, Ramana Maharshi.[11]
