The True Source of Healing cover

Recall a moment in your life when you felt complete, satisfied, fully alive, at home in yourself. Imagine that it is not only possible for you to feel that way now and then, but most of the time. This is what soul retrieval practice offers.

The wisdom of Tibetan Bön Buddhism, one of the world's richest and most ancient unbroken spiritual traditions, offers powerful soul retrieval practices and rituals. In his new book, author and teacher Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche brings out the most essential elements of these teachings, presenting them in a way that is simple, clear and fresh.

The practices of soul retrieval have the power to help us to reconnect with nature, with ourselves and with the people around us. Through the practices of connecting with the elements of earth, water, fire, air and space, we have the potential to transform everything in our lives: to find joy, re-energise relationships, feel more connected and productive at work, dissolve physical pain and bring more happiness and wellbeing to others. These practices provide much-needed insights and tools for our hectic, fast-paced lives.

"In a time when we have lost our collective and personal souls, Tenzin Wangyal offers us an unfailing compass to our original, unbroken self. Read this book, and find your way back to health and wholeness!"
— Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D., author of Shaman, Healer, Sage and Mending the Past and Healing the Future with Soul Retrieval

"Tenzin Wangyal is a generous teacher, an insightful master, and a brilliant translator of timeless wisdom. In The True Source of Healing, he demystifies the ancient practice of soul retrieval in a profound, clear, and accessible way that gently leads us to the core of our very being. This journey with Tenzin is a joy, and the results are transformational."
— davidji, best-selling author of Secrets of Meditation

"Tenzin Rinpoche offers an ancient, lineage-based approach to the concept of soul retrieval, and in so doing brings brilliant Tibetan Bön wisdom to the heart of this practice."
— Charlie Morley, author of Dreams of Awakening

"What a treasure! Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche skillfully guides us in ancient practices to retrieve our basic goodness and intelligence. These practices, which we can apply immediately to our fast-paced and stress-filled lives, will revitalize us at the deepest level of our being. The True Source of Healing invites us to stillness, silence, and spaciousness, and to joyfully allow the qualities of our basic nature—unbounded awareness and a warm heart—to emerge so that we may be healed."
—Matteo Pistono, author of Fearless in Tibet and In the Shadow of the Buddha
