Caitlin Matthews shows how you can harness your creative imagination and innate healing powers as you explore your inner space, and journey between the everyday world and the spiritual realm of the shaman.

Format:Paperback
There are many books out there nowadays about the concept and practice of what we call 'shamanism' and how to integrate into it our daily lives. Sometimes it can be difficult trying to figure out who's real and and who's not in the world of shamanic practice.
Author Caitlin Matthews is indeed the real thing and Singing the Soul Back Home is one marvelous book. Written for laypersons in the field of shamanism, this beautifully designed book aims to help the reader become a 'walker between the worlds' in a very genuine, substantive way.
The many exercises in the book help the reader in understanding what shamanism is (and what it is not), what making a shamanic journey encompasses, and what to expect when journeying to the traditional three worlds (under, middle, upper) of core shamanism. Although Matthews specializes in Celtic shamanism, this book touches on the very basic shamanic wisdom that is shared culturally all over the world.
I had to put this book down many times during reading, just to pause and reflect on the very deep concepts it was introducing. I took my time reading this book and tried to absorb every idea that the author presented. Even now, having long finished reading it, I still find myself coming back again and again to this book to re-read and re-absorb the wondrous truths it shares with the reader. This book truly is a gem.
I encourage anyone with an interest in spiritual matters and how we can 'walk between the worlds' in our own lives to pick up this book, along with Psychic Shield, also by Caitlin Matthews. For me personally, these two books are the most valuable books in my whole personal library. They will stay with me for a long, long time -- and that is the best criterion I know for judging a book about shamanism and matters of the Spirit.
