Journeying - The Soul's Path To Freedom author: Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D. The Four Winds Society 2005 This CD is based on the work of Alberto Villoldo, founder of the Four Winds Society. Villoldo takes us on an incredible journey through the four chambers of our soul, where we discover information that allows us to recover from wounds inflicted in early childhood and past lives. The first thing that Villoldo discusses is the mind/body interface. Just as the body can create its own dis-ease, it can create bring itself back into a healthy state. In his own studies, Villoldo worked with medicine men and women in the Amazon, with the Hopi and Navajo tribes, and with Mayans and Inca's. One thing that he found was that medicine men and women have a different, much more open world view of time. They see it as looping and circling back onto itself, permitting the shaman to journey backwards to find the source of an original wounding, or forwards to see what will be. We are surrounded by a luminous energy field that effectively organizes our body's different energy patterns. A shift in our luminous energy body is followed by a shift in our body's health. Journeying takes us out of ordinary linear time into sacred time, time where we have the ability to invoke change. Sacred time is guided by synchronicity. The four chambers of our soul are defined as: 1. The first chamber is where we are shown the source of our original wounding. 2. The second chamber is where we are introduced to the contracts that we agreed to before coming into this lifetime. 3. The third chamber is the chamber of grace - it is in this chamber that we reunite with our recovered self, that self that was wounded but retained a state of grace. 4. The fourth chamber is where we find our medicine gift - this is a medicine offering that will help us discover our mission in life. We also receive our power animal, and energy that comes back with us and helps us to integrate and heal. Soul retrieval is seen as a metaphysical journey to the center of the earth, to the arms of the "earth mother". Through authentic journey techniques, including classical prayers to define sacred space, we are taken through the four chambers, where we find the source of our original wounding, and are able to affect a healing. I found this work to be authentic, healing, and safe for anyone to do. This is a wonderful tool of self-empowerment, and I highly recommend it to all people, from all backgrounds. © May 2007 Bonnie Cehovet Personal Lifestyle Reading - I offer a Personal Lifestyle Reading using Tarot that looks at past, present and future influences in your life, at the energies that are currently available to help you along your path, and at those energies that are appearing as challanges.
