Soul Retrieval

Discover how ancient shamanic practices and modern psychology unite to heal trauma and restore the fragmented self to wholeness.

With warmth and compassion, Sandra Ingerman describes the dramatic results of combining soul retrieval with contemporary psychological concepts in this visionary work that revives the ancient shamanic tradition of soul retrieval for healing emotional and physical illness.

Drawing on extensive counseling experience, the author demonstrates the restorative power of tracking lost soul parts through rhythmic drumming in an altered state of consciousness.

The book offers clear guidance, through illuminating case histories and experiential exercises, for integrating returned essence and renewing personal vitality. This revised and updated edition includes a new afterword by the author.
