Product Description
This fascinating book by psychologist and medical anthropologist Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D., explains the practices for healing outside of ordinary time and space. It shows how to enter the timeless now to heal events that occurred in the past, and to correct the course of destiny. Dr. Villoldo discusses ways in which you can heal yourself and your loved ones by employing intention through practices used by shamans of the Americas which, until now, have been inaccessible to most of the world. The shamans of old called this journeying. In this book, you ll discover that you have a four-chambered heart in the same way you have a four-chambered soul. In the first chamber, you store away the memory of a wound that derailed your destiny. In the second, you keep the limiting beliefs and soul contracts that you entered into at the time of your loss. In the third, you recover the grace and trust that will make you whole again; and in the fourth, you remember the calling and mission that you choose to unfold in this lifetime. "While everyone has a future," Villoldo says, "only certain people have a destiny." This book shows you how to find and manifest yours.

 A brochure? November 3, 2008
Growth is Optional (FL, USA)
Soul retrieval works, regardless of whether we have an explanation for why/how or not. Science and technology has convinced the Western mind that they can and will have an explanation for everything when this is not true...
This book was a disappointment to me in that is was a 250 page brochure for the services and teachings of Villoldo's Four Winds Society, where "You too, can be a shaman for only $10,000- Call NOW!!" If not you can pay for a private consult...
If you want a book of his that supports changes in your life try The Four Insights and actually put the info to use. If you really believe you need a soul retrieval, find a reputable practitioner and discuss it with them... An ethical shaman/medicine person will interview you before taking next steps...
Good luck.

I cannot express the beauty and love that went into writing this book. Alberto is truly an amazing writer and gifted shaman. This has to be the best book for helping me with my spiritual growth. Let there be peace in the world and let it begin with me. A book of self healing, peace, and joy!
Aloha.

Mending the Past and Healing the Future with Soul Retrieval is a great book on the idea that people can learn how to heal ourselves and each other. The basis is to learn the three worlds that we all live in and the four directions, and some of the spirits who rule those directions and the Plant Nations, Star Nations, and Stone Nations. If you understand anything about Medicine, this is it in the world today. This book written with the loving help of the Inca Elders is an important means to learn how the world of loving Spirits and Creator can help us all save our own souls. I have recommended it to all of my friends, and relations.

In this book Alberto Villoldo recapitulates neoshamanist techniques used by CG Jung and popularized by M. Harner, Sandra Ingerman and their gang at the 'Foundation for Shamanic Studies' as the best (and harmless) way to introduce Westerners to some form on nonlinear, non-thinking experience. Basically, 'soul retrieval' is a form of active imagination or 'awake dreaming' that leads the 'dreamer' into her subconscious mind. Villoldo's book is no better and no worse than other products on the (increasingly saturated) market - basic neoshamanist imagery techniques spiced with (successful) episodes from Villoldo's own counseling practice.
While I like Villoldo's early books based on his own apprentice stories from Peru, his conversion into neoshamanism and syncretism seem a bit unexpected. Certainly V. never explains why he finds 'journeying' methods more effective than (or complementary to) age old Andean practices, nor does he provide a rationale for blending the two at the end of the book (when he speaks about the pururuna, sacharuna, uiwayruna etc). It seems funny that a man who seems to call himself a 'laika' (sorcerer; something an Andean would never do)and claims to have been taught by some of the best Peruvian native shamans, now teaches Westerners active imagination developed by Jung and Harner... a method that can be called shamanism only with a significant stretch of imagination. To me it seems the man simply had to write another book.
Or that he finds it difficult to stay out of the limelight. Writing books is an addictive business.

Once again Alberto Villoldo shows us the path to healing. I have actually tried to view myself in a future healed state and it really helped me in my healing from recent surgery. I want to take his courses in the future as this is invaluable knowledge as a human being in a physical body. His website is listed in his books. His DVD's are also wonderful.
