About this listen

• Explores hidden soul-healing practices including dream incubation and interpretation as well as sacred pilgrimage

• Examines how dreams, visions, and other non-normative events reveal the conditions needed to restore the soul and facilitate healing

• Includes successful healing techniques, practices, and case studies to reveal how healings are achieved with these methods

The modern practice of medicine and psychology grew out of the ancient Greek healing tradition, said to be founded by Asklepios, god of healing and dreams. For two thousand years the system spread all over the Mediterranean world and planted the roots of Western medicine and psychology by offering ritual and holistic practices that recognized that healing begins at the soul level. Yet, since that time, the spiritually based practices were cast aside, leaving behind only the scientific medical techniques that dominate health care today.

Resurrecting and restoring the sacred, mythological, and cultural origins of medicine and psychotherapy, Edward Tick, Ph.D., explores the soul-healing practices missing in our contemporary health systems. He looks at the dream incubation tradition of Asklepios, sacred theater of Dionysos, oracle gifting of Apollo, special practices of warriors, and their roots in Neolithic shamanism and indigenous traditions. Demonstrating the ritual use of dreams, visions, oracles, synchronicities, and pilgrimage for healing and connecting to the transpersonal and divine, he explains how dream incubation is a technique in which you plant a seed for a specific healing or growth goal.

Using both ancient wisdom and modern depth psychology alongside stories of healings from his more than 25 years of guiding Vietnam veterans on Greek pilgrimages, Tick explores how we all can use ancient healing philosophies and practices to achieve holistic healing today. He examines the interaction between mind and body (psyche and soma) and between physical illness and the soul to heal PTSD and trauma. He explains the art of making accurate and holistic interpretations of signs, symbols, and symptoms to determine what they reveal about the soul. Showing how dreams and other transpersonal experiences are essential components of soul medicine, the author reveals how restoration of the soul facilitates true healing.

A quenching work for a thirsting soul

This book is the culmination of over 4 decades of living and sharing the ancient ways in contemporary times.

We live in a time now where many or maybe even most humans don’t believe in a soul, yet since time immemorial all cultures believed in the soul or in many souls, a thread or web that connected us to place, to ancestors, to the gods, spirits, our own souls, the dreaming and even the cosmos.

Like the movie Jurassic park, Edward Tick, pun not originally intended, Ed brings back the gods and the sacred by digging into the wounds where the gods can still be found.

This book inspired a pilgrimage and I look ahead to see what magic is afoot.
