Essential Expressions of the Vital Force

This book aims to help utilise the Elemental Circle in order to clarify recognition of the essence of an individual’s vibrational pattern for use in identifying a similar vibrational pattern to find the most accurate homeopathic remedy. The resonances are illustrated via the inherent energy in each of the four elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water and how they correlate with not only time, weather, general symptoms etc. but also e.g. bodily systems, levels of pathology, miasms, emotional states and many other aspects of the total symptom picture. Therefore, the vital force is engaged to initiate the healing process and move towards cure.

Slaves of Men and Gods-Obroni Tales Book One was published in April 2020.

“In Slaves of Men and Gods, Jacqueline Smith explores Ghanaian culture through the eyes of Krisi Bodan, a headstrong fifteen-year-old. Containing important themes, unique characters and a compelling storyline, I found this story to be an incredible, well-written and captivating read! (It)... is an arresting, enlightening novel. It weaves urgent themes into its compelling plot and comes highly recommended by Chick Lit Café.”

"A dramatic and original YA thriller. Digging into issues of adolescent development, gender dynamics, relatable questions of morality, traditional Ghanaian practices, and more, the target audience may be teenagers, but the themes are complex and mature, while never talking down to readers. With vivid characters and vulnerably emotional writing, this tale about cultivating new roots is an authentic and wholly unique read." Self-Publishing Review,

Inspiring and captivating, these are just a few of the quotes I'll take with me. This book is endlessly quotable."
