The Empath and Shadow Work: Empath as Archetype Volume Four (Volume 4)
These books on Empaths carry an important message to those who would step into the world of self healing.  To heal ones self takes a combination of focus, self honesty and hard work.  In her books, Elaine has touched clearly on many of the life issues that throw us into chaos, and concurrently how to approach healing these issues.  Healing is instantaneous, but the curing part is where the work and time are required, for most issues have spawned ingrained habits and behaviours that we must undo and replace with new, acceptable ones. Marv Harwood  President  Kimmapii School of ShamanismElaine's books are a must-read for any highly sensitive person who wants to pursue deep healing work. ​Using the lens of her shamanic ​training, Elaine's ​precise and insightful understanding of the archetypal patterns and relationships empaths are likely to experience helps us create lasting breakthroughs in our relationships with ourselves and others, which frees up tremendous amounts of energy for creative expression, joy in our lives, and a strong sense of self-empowerment -- even while living in a not-so-sensitive world.~Jenna Avery, The Writer's Circle Founder  With clarity and penetrating insight, Elaine guides the reader to a deeper understanding of what is really going on in their struggles with relationships, career and life.  She helps the Empath community discover the way to a compassionate and conscious relationship with the Shadow, so that these elements can become integrated, and thus a source of intuition, creativity and power.  Highly recommended for anyone seeking to live an authentic and empowered life. Ji Hyang Padma, author of Living the Season:  Zen Practice for Transformative TimesElaine has given us an incredible gift in publishingthis book. Although she directed it to highly sensitive people, her teachings are applicable to others as well. This is not lightweight material; it is complex, sophisticated, and deep. The healing work described here goes beyond most conventional therapies into what she calls the Archetypal, or Mythic Realms. Elaine traverses this terrain easily, with the intelligence, preparation, sensitivity, and creativity.  She has condensed a vast amount of insight into these pages.  Treasure them.Greta Holmes, LightBody Healer and Mentor
