"I am on the edge of my seat following your words with my whole body ... Straightforwardly written and very powerful. Few people really understand the power of imagery of their journey. They don't realize that energy follows the image and in that direction the healing lies." - Dr. Marion Woodman "It's hard to describe my impressions without falling into shameless hyperbole, so I will say that this book is unlike any I've read. Profound. And spellbinding." - Dr. Lorraine Roses
