Soul & The Sea

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This is a book - whose chapters are a series of rooms - written by an outstandingly gifted healer and poet, one who is in touch with her heart and her imagination and who is therefore able to address the deep suffering of people living in our dysfunctional, uncaring, soul-banishing culture. As she says, 'I write from the star in my heart; that is what guides me and my creativity. It is as though by following the intensity of my feelings, I open and walk through the doorway of the divine.' I would recommend this wise, caring and inspirational book to men and women who seek a deeper connection to Life, to the Earth, and above all, to their Heart and their Soul. -- Anne Baring Ph.D., author of The Dream of the Cosmos: A Quest for the Soul I know the deeply spiritual energy of Connemara, Ireland, and this book manages to capture its magic, providing the background melody for the soul-touching stories that comprise the book. Few story tellers can integrate Benig Mauger's rich understanding of psyche and spirit. This book will take you on a journey that will enrich you forever. I loved it. -- Donna Eden, co-author, The Energies of Love This fascinating and heartwarming book, written by an intuitive healer, gifted teacher & Jungian psychologist, takes us on a journey of inner healing. Rich with personal experiences and archetypal influences, we're guided through various rooms of our own psyche under the watchful eye of the Divine Mother. Complete with practical advice and exercises, this is a valuable book in times of individual & global transformation. -- Dr Christine Page, author of the Healing Power of the Sacred Woman In our soulless, Covid-ravaged world, beautifully written books on Soul like this one are an enormous blessing. Benig is not only a poet, shaman and mystic, but also a healer, analyst and transpersonal visionary, and thus great wisdom flows through every page. Indeed, she takes the reader deep into the psyche to explore universal human experiences such as the dark night of the soul and particularly what is required to live an authentic and whole life in these very precarious times.The second part explores the existence of what Benig calls "healing rooms". One room helps us confront and heal the many wounds in our hearts that prevent our soul life coming into its own, another room, the "birth room" helps women heal traumatic birth experiences, while the 'life room' offers us advice as to how to live with grace and integrity. This important book is not only a must read for all therapists seeking to expand the range of the way they work and see the world, but it is also important for the person in the street in need of guidelines to help them live with greater depth and joy and who wish to make the shift from being part of the problems in the world, to being part of their solution. A tour de force. -- Serge Beddington-Behrens MA, Ph.D., K.O.M.L, author of Awakening the Global Heart Benig Mauger has written an interesting book, which will speak not only to the professional audience of Jungian psychology, but also and more significantly to the vast non-professional audience suffering the ever increasing dark night of the soul in our perilous age. Written in the style of a memoir and weaving together her experiences as a birth therapist, Jungian psychotherapist and spiritual healer, she escorts us through various healing rooms as a companion, addressing us with a personal appeal to acknowledge the healing power of conscious suffering. If there is a singular quality that animates this book, it would be its emphasis on remembering the necessity for the grieving process in an age so drawn to the continuous enticement of the new and so benumbed by its displays that it has forgotten how to mourn. -- Robert D. Romanyshyn, Ph.D., Prof. Emeritus of Clinical Psychology, Author of Victor Frankenstein, the Monster and the Shadows of Technology: The Frankenstein Prophecies
