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

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
