Marie Mbouni grew up in Cameroon, Africa, and always felt a calling to be a healer. "My journey," writes Marie, "began with Western medicine, and I built a career many would be proud of--but inside, I felt dead. My quest for self-discovery saved me. I embraced a new calling as a shaman and energy healer."

After working with hundreds of clients, Mbouni noticed a strong pattern emerging. Nearly everyone had been wounded by experiencing one or more of five emotional traumas: abandonment, betrayal, separation, denial, and judgment. "Although we receive these wounds as children," writes Mbouni, "they continue to play out in our adult lives, causing us to unconsciously seek out endless variations on the original painful experience."

While we cannot time travel to the past and change things, we can heal the past by responding to our present situation in new ways. In Healing the Five Wounds of the Heart, the author gives you the tools to do precisely that. By bringing our awareness, imagination, creativity, and courage to these practices, we can heal our heart wounds and achieve wholeness, ease, and good health.
