About this title

From the Back Cover

"Through the shamanic framework of 'soul loss' and 'soul retrieval,' Sandra Ingerman offers us a window through which some of our myriad non-physical interactions can be recognised, understood and honoured."
GARY ZUKAV, author of 'The Dancing Wu Li Masters' and 'The Seat of the Soul'

A VISIONARY WORK THAT REVIVES THE ANCIENT SHAMANIC TRADITION OF SOUL RETRIEVAL FOR HEALING EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL ILLNESS.

With warmth and compassion, Sandra Ingerman describes the dramatic results of combining soul retrieval with contemporary psychological concepts. Drawing on case studies from her ten years of teaching and practice, Ingerman illustrates what psyche or soul damage is and why it is a common yet little understood cause of psychological dysfunction. Her pioneering work has enabled thousands of individuals to overcome traumatic dissociation, depression, addictions, memory repression, and other problems through the age-old shamanic technique of soul retrieval.

"Wise and wonderful... [a] deeply moving and life affirming work."
RALPH METZNER, author of 'Opening to Inner Light'

"Fascinating and illuminating. An excellent introduction to the mysterious power of shamanic healing by an authentic, experienced practitioner."
FRANCES VAUGHAN, Ph.D., psychologist and author of 'The Inward Arc' and 'Awakening Intuition'

"An uplifting and vitally important work, this book stands to revolutionise what we mean by 'therapy.'"
LARRY DOSSEY, M.D., author of 'Recovering the Soul'

"A brilliant book ! Ingerman speaks from the heart and [from] her experience, sharing her personal medicine with us all. Those who are seeking to reclaim the beauty of their personal wholeness by moving through their woundedness and into their humanity will find this book a must."
JAMIE SAMS, author of 'Sacred Path Cards'

"I admire Ingerman's ability to modernise this ancient path of shaman practice, and I praise her emphasis on using shamanism with compassion and respect for all beings."
SERGE KAHILI KING, author of 'Urban Shaman'
