Now I am finally asking the right questions. The Ancestral Self is the book that many are waiting for. It contains so many keys for making sense of our lives. I never realized that a lifelong burden was older than myself and could be lifted. This is one book that delivers much more than it promises.

Filled with wisdom and insight, this book is a masterpiece. It is well written, visually stunning and a feast for the soul. From reading Wood You Believe, I have learned to befriend the broken and fragmented parts of myself. As someone who never read about psychology or spirituality before, this book has transformed my life. Reading Wood You Believe was a healing experience in itself.

What we don't know can still deeply affect us! This book contains groundbreaking material that expands the horizons of self-awareness. For many people it has implications that are enormous and far reaching. It is a medical fact that more than one in eight people began their journey into life not on their own. They had a wombtwin or were part of a multiple pregnancy. It is a medical fact that for every set of twins born, at least one in five were triplets. There is ever increasing evidence that the memory of this early loss can be carried through life as a form of psychological trauma that has previously been unrecognized and usuallymisdiagnosed. The symptoms of having experienced loss in the womb, or shortly after, include: A sadness and sense of loss that persists A loneliness that eats into the bones A difficulty with close relationships A burden of guilt that is irrational A black hole that nothing can fill A tendency towards isolation A creativity that is stunted A difficulty with letting go A search that is endless A depressive mentality A restlessness of spirit A poor sense of self Whether the twin loss took place during the first few months, in the latter stages of the pregnancy, during or after birth, the symptoms seem to vary very little. Could this be you or someone that you know? If so this book could shed light on the mysterious world of what it's like to be a wombtwin survivor and point the way towards healing and recovery. Here are the stories of so many who discovered the key to the mystery that had plagued them all their lives. Written in language that is easily understood, the steps towards identification and resolution are clearly outlined. Here is a book that could truly change your life It could be the most important book you will ever read.

A Spirituality of Healing and Integration, offers much needed wisdom for the spiritual landscape we find ourselves in at this time. The inspiring symbolism, intertwined with scripture, story and insights from psychology makes it a compelling read. It outlines succinctly and clearly where we have come from and where we find ourselves as church in Ireland today. But it doesnt stop there, it navigates us towards a spirituality of the future and offers a direction in which we can be orientating ourselves in religious practice. Life is like a voyage on the sea of history, often dark and stormy, a voyage in which we watch for the stars that indicate the route. (Spe Salvi 49) In Vol 6 of Wood You Believe, through scripture and sculpture, story and self-acceptance, Jim Cogley encourages his readers to face the turbulence of todays faith voyage and drop anchor in the Spirit of God within. Shadow and light, wholeness and imperfection are embraced on the self-abandon voyage leading towards the living water welling up within to eternal life. (John 4:14) Phrases such as, The Samaritan woman went away with the well; When we listen something new is born; Transformation; Under new management; Let go, let God; are like pop-ups that sparkle anew throughout A Spirituality of Healing and Integration leading the reader to Jesus, the true light, the sun that has risen above the shadow of history. (Spe Salvi 49) Bishop Eamonn Walsh
