BOOK COVER TESTIMONIALS:

• From Karen Newton, Founder, Innerchange Magazine,
Garner, NC :
"In the past I have read a couple of books and articles about
shamanic practices and soul retrieval, and at one point I
attended a shamanic journeying workshop. However, I never truly grasped the meaning of soul loss and soul retrieval
until I read Maryphyllis Horn’s book, TRANSFORMING THE SOUL.
She has eloquently weaved together her personal story,
other case studies, and in-depth descriptions and explanations
of the process in a way that is engaging, understandable, and
comprehensive to the reader. Those on a journey toward wholeness,
as well as practitioners and healers, will find TRANSFORMING THE
SOUL an essential tool to discovering and understanding how parts
of our souls affect our own nurturing, our journey of healing,
and our continued spiritual growth."

• From Rev. Barbs Burman, B.S., M.P.H., the book’s editor:
“This is a heart-opening book. Just by reading it I am changed...
changed as a result of new awareness.

This book adds Spirit’s insights to the lore on
soul loss and soul retrieval. Primarily, though,
it’s about the needs of the soul during the integration
process. Her Spirit Teacher guided her in unique
journeying intentions to attain deeper communication
and integration with soul parts. Intentions are designed
in a way that deepens your trance level within the
upper and lower worlds, while also deepening your
trust in Spirit, self and your soul part’s unique wisdom.
You not only perceive the soul part’s communication,
you also feel and experience it from the soul part’s
perspective.

All of this (1) transcends resistance and skepticism
you may have; (2) heals dysfunctional beliefs quickly;
(3) helps you know beyond a shadow of doubt that
you can and will think, feel, and/or behave in new,
functional ways; (4) transforms the core of your being
to be your true self more purely; (5) brings permanent
improvement in issues addressed by the soul retrieval.

Maryphyllis cites “Principles” behind the intentions so
that you can easily translate them to your own style of
work. She includes as well, many case histories that
illustrate intention methods, insights, principles

Preface to "Transforming The Soul"

Welcome! It is no coincidence that you are reading this book. You have been attracted to it due to your quest. Likewise I have been impelled to share this information in this way, in order to help you. Whether or not you have prior knowledge about soul retrieval or soul transformation, your intuition is guiding you to this subject. Come along with me as I tell you my own experience with this wondrous healing tool.

Beyond the initial training in how to do soul retrievals, all the integration information you find in this book was a direct gift to me by my own Spirit Teacher (guiding angel who appears as human, to the mind’s eye). The intention initially was for my own healing and spiritual growth. There were no other humans who could help me attain the level of inner integration, i.e., transformation, that my Spirit Teacher said was needed. In fact, there were several who said that a soul retrieval doesn’t need inner work, that all a person needs to do is to just continue working on their issues. In the beginning I tried doing that but found myself becoming more deeply mired in the negativity of my soul parts. When I first set up my private practice I also witnessed how two of my clients treated their soul parts in such an uncaring, thoughtless way. It was clear to me that they did not fully grasp their soul parts’ significance. All of this disturbed me in such a way that I just had to write down, in book form, what Spirit’s guidance has been at each stage of the transformation process.

As I applied Spirit’s lessons in my life, I experienced greater wholeness and much wonder, joy and peace. These wonderful feelings gave me the additional overwhelming desire to share with others what I found. My clients too encountered the same healing results, each in their own way, of course. Indeed, the information is universal in application. And that is the underlying reason why I have written this book: so that you too may benefit from the insights and methods given here.

Notable Quote: Catherine Ponder, in OPEN TO RECEIVE, says:
"When any person withholds that which belongs to the universe,
his life is thrown out of balance, and he experiences lack in some form.
It may be lack of supply, lack of health, lack of love, lack of spiritual
understanding, or lack of direction in his life."
