The BEST book on this subject

This is one of those "underground classics" -- a book that wasn't slick or mainstream enough to make it onto any New Age bestseller lists, but that is recognized as a gem by everyone lucky enough to have stumbled across it.With clarity and down-to-earth examples, Ai Gvhdi Waya describes how our souls can become fragmented, and how a shaman can journey to the realm of spirit to restore wholeness. Although this is not intended to be a how-to manual, it will give you a VERY clear idea of what a soul retrieval/soul recovery is like -- both from the point of view of the shaman, AND from the point of view of the person needing healing.Of particular interest are nine case studies that are given in full, including: the life problems the person was having that caused him or her to seek help from a shaman; what the shaman "saw" and did in the spirit realm on the person's behalf; the shaman's interpretation of the symbolic dimensions and significance of what transpired in the spirit realm; what kind of "homework" the client had to do to integrate the changes into real life; whether the healing "took" or whether further work was necessary; and follow-up on changes the client experienced over time in life and behavior, reflecting the work that was done.These case histories give you a clear picture of what the client goes through in the process of healing and for that reason I would recommend this book to anyone who is considering having someone else do shamanic work on their behalf.Especially useful is a short section titled "Finding The Right Shaman" -- which also briefly discusses the related topic of avoiding the WRONG shaman. This was of particular interest to me because of a previous bad experience of mine.Some years before, I'd had a soul retrieval done by a friend-of-a-friend who had credentials as a "certified shamanic counsellor" (trained in the Harner/Ingerman school) but who gave off bad vibes. Well I should have listened to the vibes, because after I let that woman do a soul retrieval for me, I felt violently agitated, invaded, and violated by her.Then I read this book and when I got to the part where the author (briefly) describes what can happen to you if you get mixed up with a shaman who's into power trips, boy, did that ring a bell with me. Following the pointers in this book and using my own common sense, I was able to avoid repeating the mistakes I made the first time, and find a shaman who was right for ME. And I'm happy to say we were able to clear out the damage that had been done to me by the previous shaman, and get me back on the path towards healing.Of course, on the whole it would be better to avoid situations like that in the first place! I wish I'd known about this book sooner, I think it would have saved me some grief. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who is considering having a soul recovery/soul retrieval done. It will help you to understand and to actively participate in the healing process, and to steer clear o
