Finally, my new book is on its way! Coming in April!!
If you’ve been linked with my website, blog, or social media
over the last year, you’ve seen a notice or two about the upcoming release of
my book Tending the Soul with Healing
Ritual. Well after years of thought, months of writing, and more months of
proofreading and editing, the book is at last in its final stages.
I’m excited
that this delivery is finally at hand, and I hope you will find the result as
helpful as I have dreamt it would be.
I have been a writer all of my life. Even as I child I wrote
poetry and kept journals. Eventually I found ways to get published here and
there in various venues, but life usually seemed too demanding for me to
complete one of my fiction or non-fiction manuscripts, though I eventually did
that some years ago. Most writers will tell you that writing is not hard, it is
the finishing that is hard. It is the anal, detail-driven, perfection-focused
elements of polishing and producing an end product that are the really hard
parts of writing. Therefore, writers don’t usually take on a book project unless
they are passionate enough about it to do the hard labor.
There are several unfinished manuscripts in my files that I
would have much rather undertaken than this one. This book, however, demanded
to be written. No matter what project I picked up, snippets of this content
would leak through, and finally, I put aside other ventures to focus on this
one. It just seemed that the Universe was calling this little guidebook into
being. So I wrote it.
I don’t profess this book to be a great masterpiece of
wisdom. However, I do believe it is a great introductory guide to awakening
one’s intuitive nature and rediscovering the common sense of the heart and
soul. We’ve embraced rationalism so extremely in today’s world, that we have
invalidated the inner wisdom and intuitive sources of wisdom that we were all
born with – instincts and gifts. Through learning the essence of ritual and the
nature of intuitive healing, I strive to reawaken the intuitive senses. It is
my hope that this little book will open readers to the parts of themselves that
they’ve either been ignoring, muzzling, or have just forgotten how to hear.
I’ve posted the final
version of chapter one of my book onto my website, to give you a head start on
it. The book should be available through local and on-line booksellers by this
April of this year. The first two chapters introduce the healing nature of
Ritual and how to make Rituals for your personal practice. Part two of the book
offers a four-chapter menu of Rituals categorized by the primary element that
drives the Ritual mythically: Earth, Water, Air, Fire. If you enjoy the first
chapter and would like to read the second before the book is available, send me
your email at connect@sagefoundations.com
& I’ll send you the second chapter for free also. As always, I welcome your
feedback. Click here to read a Chapter 1 Sample.
