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
"It is a pleasure for me to endorse, The Alchemy of Inner Work. My sincere hope is that everyone will read this treasure trove of essential inner knowledge. This book is a magnificent accomplishment. "--Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit and The Power of Prayer "Lorie Dechar brilliantly illuminates the rich symbolism of Chinese medicine for application to the modern lifestyle. In this extensive guide she blends magic with practical techniques to help people transform illness and manifest their destiny. The Alchemy of Inner Work elegantly explains practical methods that are applicable for both clinicians and non-professionals--highly recommended!"--CT Holman, author of Treating Emotional Trauma with Chinese Medicine and Shamanism in Chinese Medicine "More pertinent today than ever, Lorie Dechar' s Alchemy of Inner Work skillfully weaves the timeless wisdom of the Tao into a life changing journey, touched with the intimacy of clinical experience. Combining myth, medicine, and magic, the book both comforted and challenged me, as it worked its way into my cells to transform me as only true alchemy can. What a masterpiece!"--Randine Lewis, Ph. D. , L. Ac. , FABORM, author of The Infertility Cure and The Way of the Fertile Soul "True health is more than the elimination of symptoms, it is a reconnection of our bodies with our souls and spirits. This understanding is urgently needed in our world. The Alchemy of Inner Work is a magnificent book, a gift for all who seek to transform suffering and disease into well-being and wholeness, for themselves and for others. It is the right book at the right time. "--Michael J. Gelb, author of How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci and The Art of Connection "The Alchemy of Inner Work shows the reader, through the author' s transparency and lucid presentation, how notions of soul and subtle body are necessary for the only healing that matters, a return to wholeness. The book vibrates with years of experience, and many lifetimes of engaging the alchemical mystery of the creation of a Self that has a body. I highly recommend it to both the general reader and therapist alike. "--Nathan Schwartz-Salant, Ph. D. , author of The Mystery of Human Relationship: Alchemy and the Transformation of the Self
