This fascinating book by psychologist and medical anthropologist Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D., explains the practices for healing outside of ordinary time and space. It shows how to enter the timeless now to heal events that occurred in the past, and to correct the course of destiny.
Dr. Villoldo discusses ways in which you can heal yourself and your loved ones by employing intention through practices used by shamans of the Americas—which, until now, have been inaccessible to most of the world. The shamans of old called this journeying. In this book, you’ll discover that in the same way you have a four-chambered heart, you have a four-chambered soul.
In the first chamber, you store away the memory of a wound that derailed your destiny. In the second, you keep the limiting beliefs and soul contracts that you entered into at the time of your loss. In the third, you recover the grace and trust that will make you whole again; and in the fourth, you remember the calling and mission that you choose to unfold in this lifetime.
"While everyone has a future," Villoldo says, "only certain people have a destiny." This book shows you how to find and manifest yours.
"Alberto Villoldo provides an awesome vision portraying the ancient shamanic worldview with that shown to be evident in quantum physics. Dr. Villoldo writes well, tells us an interesting story, and at the same time lets us see into the magical workings of the universe. But this is more than just a description—it is a path to well-being and self-healing, one you can take with the new universal soul realization offered by the author.” — Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D., the National Book Award–winning author of The Yoga of Time Travel, The Eagle’s Quest, The Spiritual Universe, and many other books
“Alberto has that magical combination, fashioned by an open heart and a fine mind, of (1) the finest teachings of healers among primary peoples, (2) an understanding of modern science, and (3) an enchanting and practical way of sharing the wisdom with us through his words. Use this book to clear old traumas, and to awaken your own joy and gifts, both of which are precious to this world.” — Brooke Medicine Eagle, the author of The Last Ghost Dance and Buffalo Woman Comes Singing
“Alberto Villoldo is almost without peer in translating the understanding of ancient and tribal communities for the modern world. He is, moreover, an embodiment of these understandings.” — Catherine Ingram, the author of Passionate Presence and In the Footsteps of Gandhi
“This book is a wondrous journey filled with ancient wisdom particularly relevant to the predicaments of our modern life. Every reader will benefit from what Alberto Villoldo presents here; I highly recommend it.” — Stephan Rechtschaffen, M.D., the cofounder and CEO of the Omega Institute
“Villoldo presents a vital way to retrieve your own soul so that you will thrive and not just survive. He guides us clearly and in a masterful way into our inner landscapes where healing and evolution occurs. This is important, and a much-needed work right now.” — Sandra Ingerman, the author of Soul Retrieval and Medicine for the Earth
