Amazing,
By bookmage (Saint Louis) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Soul Retrieval: Mending The Fragmented Self (Paperback)
I didn't know what to expect with this book. I didn't think much when it said shamanic journey and personally I think that a lot of the rators are getting stuck into comparing this book by what those words mean to them then the amazing content of this book if they read it.This book was an excellent tool for introspection. It has safe and wonderful easy EASY practices that allow you to work gentally at becoming whole. There are explanations to change the way you deal with your emotional and spiritual bodies to heal and become more connected. This book is not for those that want to achieve power but rather impowerment. It is a book that is based on the idea to heal the childhood and the innerchild.

A great introduction and possible salvation,

This review is from: Soul Retrieval: Mending The Fragmented Self (Paperback)
This book found its way into my hands. I had no previous information concerning Shamanism or the practices there of. Upon reading this book I felt a new understanding of my own life and wanted to learn more. I found a Shaman who performed a soul retrieval for me. What Sandra Ingerman had written in this book prepared me for the experiences.As it happened, this book was the catapult into a new "knowing". I've since loaned this book to others, and still have a list of those yet to borrow it. My excitement about this book is comparable to "salvation"! :) But, I would also interject here that this was my first introduction to Shamanism. Those already familiar with the practices might find this book trivial. If so, please keep in mind the usefulness it holds for "beginners" and that everyone must find their own doorway.

Good overview but ...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Soul Retrieval: Mending The Fragmented Self (Paperback)
This is a very good overview on the general/traditional technique of Soul Retrieval. There are a bit too many examples of client studies and perhaps not enough analysis of the spiritual things which occurred. What is most disturbing is that in the preface the author says something completely contradictory to the rest of the book regarding how to restore the soul part once retrieved.Perhaps this book demonstrates most clearly the current tension and change in the area of soul retrieval. In general, the formal patterns of shamanism, including the use of drumming being necessary to achieve trance states, are under question and being challenged. Many people today are able to enter shamanic states of consciousness through concentration alone. As more people become capable of shamanic techniques the older assumptions will be modified and fall away. This book is a good representative of the more formal ideas about soul retrieval how they were understood perhaps ten or twenty years ago. If you read this just remember that it is your awareness and attention that are the real keys to opening to shamanic experiences, not being constrained to specific static techniques.
