Unleashing The Soul with Marion Woodman, Ph.D.

MP3 Download

"Our ego desires are meaningless when the soul starts to move. Immense strength is needed to hold the power that comes from the other side - soul energy, the unconscious, God, whatever you want to call it - otherwise you are blasted to pieces." Marion Woodman believes we must not be "afraid of the intensity of opening ourselves to our real personhood," because facing the intense and incredible power of your own heart is the only way to truly connect with other living things. Woodman’s insight in analyzing ancient folk tales and applying them to current events is intriguing. She describes the sheer force of spirit, like a firebird seeking release, and she will inspire you to get out of your soul’s way: "Once you’ve touched the world of soul - that world which means everything - there is nothing else of value."
