Author Jan Engels-Smith illustrates how to incorporate creative heart and soul powers into the process of self-analysis, personal growth and healing. The results are a life-changing journey towards complete self-awareness'one that ultimately integrates the total self'mind, heart and soul. Engels-Smith weaves spiritual lessons through personal accounts and offers proven healing methods and exercises based on decades of experience as a science teacher, counselor-psychologist and shamanic practitioner. Her supportive and welcoming manner creates a powerful, practical and comprehensive guide that enlightens and motivates readers in their spiritual quest for self. Engels-Smith writes, "Becoming yourself is the process of chipping away that which is not yourself and discovering the self that has always existed. Becoming yourself is finding the divine self, the work of exquisite art, that the universe embedded in your soul. Becoming you'the true you'is a path to healing and enlightenment." The author draws on her extensive experience with the ancient wisdom of Native-American culture, shamanism, and mysticism to close the gap between the traditional psychological sciences and a new era of spiritual awakening.
