Ancient and world spiritual traditions teach that the key to healing is restoring the soul and re-aligning with the cosmic order. Healers facilitated altered states of consciousness without drugs or medicines to bring dreams, visions, and oracles that healed through catharsis, identity transformation, providing life guidance, revealing prescriptions and destinies, recovering buried memories, and reconnecting to the sacred.
Western medicine and psychotherapy originated in these practices over 3,300 years ago using holistic and naturopathic methodologies combined with “dream incubation” that brought seekers what Jung called “big dreams” providing direct healing or prescriptions. These resulted in thousands of “miracle cures” to intractable conditions of body, mind, heart, and spirit.
Edward Tick has been studying and practicing this tradition for decades and has led more than 20 pilgrimages overseas to replicate them. His new book Soul Medicine explores spiritual and holistic healing through the original healing practices of dream incubations, sacred theatre, vision and oracle seeking, philosophy and mythology. We will explore these ancient practices that are the origins of medicine and psychology and the blueprints of healing today.
