Edge of the Abyss: The Recapitulation Diaries: Year Two-Volume One

J. E. Ketchel's deep soul-searching journey is a riveting tale of adventure. She grabs you at the first line and takes you into her world as she seeks to discover and connect with her lost self, a journey that she first revealed in The Man in the Woods. The Edge of the Abyss takes us still deeper into her encounters with evil of unfathomable proportion, processed through the ancient shamanic practice of recapitulation.

This most gripping memoir of an ordinary woman's search for knowledge, stability, and freedom from the demons that haunted her is also an enlightening and magical story, a courageous inquiry into who we are and what has created us.

Like many other ancient healing practices, handed down through generations of practitioners, recapitulation is imbued with the intent of the ancients. It is a powerful process, a pathway to a changed perception of the self and the world. As Ms. Ketchel's books underscore: everything we need to transform ourselves lies within!

Please Note: The first two volumes, where the author takes you into the darkness of her emerging memories, may be difficult to read, as mentioned in reviews of the books. But these are books about a healing journey so stick with them, and with the author, as she faces traumatic memories, releases them from her body and finds that there is so much more to life than meets the eye.
