"Our era needs to heed Sandra's call for a descent into the dark recesses of the psyche that can reunite body and soul. Her prose is eloquently descriptive, precise, at times compactly poetic. Her first-person accounts are moving, often searing in describing dark recesses of the psyche that traditionally resist description. "
--Rick Tarnas, Passion of the Western Mind; Psyche and Cosmos
"This book heralds a movement of great cultural importance in describing a descending spirituality that recognizes the divinity in all things, however painful or alarming."
--Don Sandner, The Sacred Heritage:The Influence of Shamanism on
Analytical PsychologyA unique exploration of healing the body/mind split, and transforming troubling, painful feelings, sensations, images and thoughts. …in which we explore a doorway to the soul through the embodiment of what we most fear....a Jungian perspective expanded and illuminated with a woman's experience.
The awakening of the subtle senses at midlife opens a door to the creative dark forces of the psyche. Unprepared for this milestone, we often react with depression, despair, cynicism and fear of this opportunity at last to welcome our shadow qualities into everyday life. These underworld aspects, when explored with acceptance, without fear, bring unexpected visions, power, peace and wisdom.
If we can respond to the disequilibrium of this midlife awakening with acceptance, instead of trying to hang on to our past ways, we have an unequaled chance to transform the rejected underworld of the psyche to greater vision, beauty, and deep acceptance of our everyday life. The incarnation of the archetypal images with their promise of living a more potent, loving and inspired life challenges each of us to open to the forbidden within.
Includes discussions of how to…..
...open to the creative dark forces of the psyche.
….encourage an ongoing relationship with unconscious limiting beliefs. …”take tea by the fire” with our inner demons. …accept and unleash the "feminine," receptive power within.***Read now: Sample chapter: Developing the Subtle Sense***
