Soul Retrieval: Mending the Fragmented Self

Soul retrieval is a tool used by shamans to help us heal through the various traumas that we can go througout our life . Ingerman explains it very clearly and in a gentle way , offering the tools to practice it ourselves.Reading the book makes the concepts easy to digest . The book is a brilliant gateway to the world of modern shamanism, derived from the original shamans and integrated by modern western practicioners.I'd recommend the book to anyone , even those who don't know what shamanis is at all.It is a great read to those interested in therapy or those who have suffered in life and can't understand why they can't move forward

Ever had a trauma or event that leaves you feeling that you have left part of yourself behind, wanted to know why things go in slow motion when there is about to be a crash. Had such a shock or tragic event that you are forever changed and life has never been the same since, to no good effect or well being alludes you and your choices are not as good from that point on ? You fail to allow success or make a choice to effect your well being then this book is for you.Sing your soul back home.Make a choice that will change that which you lost and find out how and why this has been so.

The books you read when people walk their talk are the best and there are many firsthand encounters recounting meaningful healing journeys in Sandra's book, along with historical accounts - you get drawn into the history of Shamanism, which dates back tens of thousands of years.

I’ve recently trained as a Hypnotherapist and we briefly covered the subject of soul retrieval’s on my course. I wanted to know more about this and the book is very informative. It’s well written and provides a checklist of symptoms related to clients who would benefit from a soul retrieval. It explains what a soul retrieval involves, the benefits and the work needed after the therapy. Soul retrieval’s utilise a shamanistic approach which is very spiritual. There is also information at the end of the book about training workshops. Well worth reading!

This book was listed on a 'recommended reading' sheet I received in advance of a workshop I have signed up for. It immediately drew my interest and having bought it, it didn't disappoint. It is written simply and beautifully so it teaches and inspires at the same time, and leaves you wanting to know more about soul retrieval, if not try it for yourself!

Was doing a shamanic practitioner course and this was what we had to read before starting the course. The research in to soul retrieval is astounding and the healing you can gain from such a healing is mind blowing.

I am a psychotherapist and I have found this book so enriching in terms of understanding trauma and inner child work. It can be read at different levels and presents very interesting cases.

Fantastic opportunity to learn and explore this book very greatful of Sandra ingerman for sharing such valuable experiences of herself and her clients case studies. Thank you

There are many topics that people refrain from talking about. This is one topic that people that are uncomfortable to discuss because it is deep and makes you question things that one might feel uncomfortable to discuss with others however reading the book which I could not put down until I read it all and I made my husband read it as well we had one of our greatest and intelligent conversations ever, it really is a book one must read with an opened mind and acceptance of what is being written whether you agree or not

The book itself is great. Yet a page has been ripped out as you can see on the picture. As a lover of books I am appalled.

Eu apenas havia ouvido falar do Resgate de Alma quando comprei esse livro. Me identifiquei com vários casos relatados nele, e gostei muito de saber como exatamente esta técnica terapêutica funciona. A autora faz relatos minuciosos de cada passo de uma sessão, e de como é feito o acompanhamento posterior. A cada capítulo, exercícios que o leitor pode fazer sozinho. Mas a sessão de Resgate de Alma propriamente dita deve ser feita por um xamã treinado, e nunca por uma pessoa leiga sozinha.Achei excelente para um primeiro contato com o assunto.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I’m so grateful that my friend recommended this to me. This is a beautiful, simple, yet thorough explanation of what happens to us during trauma and why we never seem to be the same afterwards. Having gone through trauma myself, I found many of these words resonating deeply with me. The good news is there are ways to heal us and this book explains how.I especially loved the accounts of her soul retrieval journeys and experiences with her power animal, other worlds, and her client's power animals. This led me to research my own power animal (which is different than spirit animals), to see if I am able to connect with mine. I’ve always found solace in nature, water, and animals, and this explains why my connection to the earth goes much deeper than simply feeling at peace.I personally am on the journey now to reclaim the parts of my soul that I’ve lost throughout the abuses and trauma of my childhood, and Ive found it to be a very powerful experience. I hope this book gives others the courage to begin their own journey towards looking in words at their soul, start reclaiming their soul loss and live life with more vibrant, vitality, and love than ever before.

Best book
