The Alchemy of Inner Work

A Guide for Turning Illness and Suffering Into True Health and Well-Being

By: Lorie Eve Dechar, Benjamin Fox - contributor

Narrated by: Kim Niemi

Alchemy is the science of transformation - how to change one thing into something else. In The Alchemy of Inner Work, Dechar and Fox examine how illness, suffering, and disease - the "lead" of our lives - can become the "gold" of our authentic selves, and the key to good health and well-being.

Drawing on traditional Chinese medicine, Eastern and Western alchemical traditions, Kabbalah, and Jungian psychology - plus case studies from working with patients - the authors provide hands-on insights for bringing "the soul of medicine" back into our lives.

The book includes:

• A simple introduction to the ancient practices and principles alchemy
• How the alchemical model offers a profoundly new path to true health and well-being
• An array of practices for removing the barriers that block our own healing energy
• An invitation to alchemical "dream work" as a support on the path of healing

Powerful and Insightful

The authors exploration of both the grand and subtle inner connectedness that weaves throughout not only our lives but the lives of all that is around us.

The explorative journey you go on is really on that if open to it offers a deeper look into ones self. We are both the gate keeper last and the door ways to joy and depths of life.

Narrator was good too. Highly recommended this book if you are ready to explore the world within.

Terrible narration!

The narration for this book is awful!...I am so upset because I have been looking forward to the book, having listened to the author speak. The information is so important and beautiful, but the narration completely butchers it. I had to stop listening..I came back to it a few times, changed the speed, and still I could not continue to listen. Not only is the narrator speaking like she’s racing someone to the end, but she clearly has no understanding or respect for the subject matter itself. So disappointing.

Excellent coverage of TCM, flower essences, and subtle body therapy

A book I will return to again and again. Loaded with practical applications for self or clients. A must read.
