Story
Over 40,000 years ago, the first shamans ventured into the spirit realms in search of wisdom and healing. What they found, teaches Sandra Ingerman, was a secret world of teachers, animal spirits, and the soul fragments of those suffering in the ordinary world. The Soul Retrieval Journey reveals a stunning insight understood by those first shamans: that when lost parts of the soul return to the body, the mind, body, and spirit heal.

Beautiful story- narration is cringe
Beautiful story that weaves personal stories with the curandera ways. The language used is dated, as many references to mental disabilities would not be appropriate in this time. It doesn’t bother me, as it shows how much we have grown as a society. However, the voice over needs to be redone. The narrator butchers Spanish and Nahuatl words so bad that it feels like a stab every time she mispronounced a word. I recommend you read it on your own and not be subjected to the disrespect of the narration.

Therapy for mi SOUL
What a marvelous book! It captivated every cell of my body, mind, and soul as a Chicana myself navigating the limited constructs of Western medicine. So much validation received as every word transcended beyond my DNA, into cosmic fields of deliciousness. It was like each chapter gave me permission to continue decolonizing my life, and the world of therapy as a licensed psychotherapist. She was speaking directly to me, to all of us “healers” part of such sacred movement!

Fantastic read!
My family is from New Mexico and this book was vivid and detailed. Her story was incredible and I was happy to read this for Hispanic Heritage Month. My daughter is reading Bless Me Ultima for her NM History high school course, but I think this book is just as valuable. I wish it was on the lists for reading. I took Chicano studies in college and never heard of Elena before Audible recommend this based off of my reading history. I finished this in just a few days. Highly recommend, especially for those into Chicano or NM authors.

Great book, performance is just ok.
Elena’s book is great! The content and teachings are wonderful to learn. My only critique is the performance, there any many important native and Spanish words that are mispronounced. A bilingual reader would have made this audiobook so much more palatable and pleasant to listen to.

love this books, very interesting and informative
I am a reconnecting de-tribalized Purhepecha of the Huichol people, this book helped me so much but there are a few things that makes me wonder if they are truly indigenous teachings or not but still phenomenal story of reconnecting to traditional ways. I highly recommend this for any reconnecting person, if it be south or north we are one people of many nations and being able to connect with other indigenous people helps our communities grow strong.

A Healing Good Time
For any Chican@, Mexican-American, Mexican or student of Curanderismo this is a lovely life time of knowledge and learning and reclaiming of one’s honor and activating healing-self.
I have read the book before. Life changing. I wanted something to accompany me as I undertook a one day project that needed me to focus and finish without exception. I couldn’t stop listening until I finished. I looked for opportunities to listen. I even pulled out the book and read along at a few points, as though she were reading a bed time story to me and sharing the page.
My heart is happy to have heard this book. I will listen again and again to absorb the lessons, to integrate into my daily regular life.

Amazing book, rough pronunciation
I have enjoyed everything about this book. The author is phenomenal. I only wish that my language, Nahuatl, were better researched and respected by the narrator or production crew. The narrator does an ok job with the Spanish, but it felt like the Nahuatl was completely neglected. This author deserved better.

Wonderful book, needs different narrator
It’s worth the listen, but unfortunately the narrator botches a lot of the pronunciation, and her animated voices to vary speakers/characters were borderline offensive. I don’t think she quite understood the tone of the book, and overall it would have been a better performance and experience for the listener with someone who is a native speaker and directly invested in the cultural context.

WHO GAVE THE V/O JOB FOR THIS BOOK TO A GRINGA
Listen, it’s only been 15 minutes and it’s already really difficult to stay focused. The concepts presented firstly are great. I love the words being spoken. What I think was a big screw up was the voice over chosen for this book. She has a hard time pronouncing some words which ok not a huge deal. What is kind of a huge deal for me is that a v/o job is to sell you what’s on the page. And she just isn’t doing that. I don’t think she even understands what she is reading so it comes off like she’s reading a mystical fictional story. Not for me. Maybe I’ll just buy the physical copy. Bit too over preformed for me.
