"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
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 dis-ease—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
