Trained in cultural anthropology, Elizabeth Bodien was at first skeptical that past lives even existed, much less that exploring them could heal present-life troubles. However, the first time she was professionally regressed, she immediately experienced a clear and complete life as Rita, a Mexican woman in the 1700s. There was a deeply emotional resonance there and Bodien began to feel she could very well have been Rita of 18th-century rural Mexico, as well as any number of other people. In Journeys with Fortune: A Tale of Other Lives, Bodien chronicles nine of the most fascinating and relevant of her past lives, including lives as an abandoned child raised in a nunnery in Helvetia, a male sandal-maker in Ancient Greece, a German calligrapher who speaks with the dead, an Atlantean priestess-in-training, and even a future life. These experiences are presented with the author's careful attention at each stage: resistance, fascination, doubt, and renewed openness. And she might not have been able to continue if it weren't for her spirit guide, Fortune, a mysterious stone spirit who guided her progress and led her to become a writer of the mysteries of life.…

Review
Elizabeth Bodien’s captivating exploration of her past-life experiences will entice and engage you from page to page. Through her warm and vibrant writing, we experience the rich possibilities these explorations open to her in her understanding of her present-day self and life. Her innerworld voyaging offers her a larger sense of her own, and by implication, all our lives. Wherever you feel yourself on the spectrum of belief or acceptance, no matter! You will find yourself held in the grips of her lively, vivid telling until the last page.
-Judyth Hill, author of Dazzling Wobble and Finding the Midline: How Yoga Helps a Trial Lawyer Make Friends and Connect to Spirit
A fascinating glimpse into one seeker’s exploration of her past and future lives under the watchful care of her spirit guide, Fortune. Well-written in a clear and candid style, the author weaves a delightful story that eases the reader through complex and multilayered realities. Vivid first-person accounts of Bodien’s other lives evoke pathos as the reader experiences their sorrows and triumphs. Fortune is an ever-present spirit who offers insight and perspective on the unfolding journey. His wisdom and wit bring a levity to a tale that otherwise might seem strange and unreal to those unfamiliar with the subject. Journeys with Fortune is wonderfully confirming and inspiring, especially for readers who are new to the study of past lives and who wish to delve deeper into their own journeys.
