The Seasonal Soul: A Mystic's Guide to Inner Transformation

The art and the words, both, are amazing. Work your way through the seasons of your life in a loving, self care filled way. I’m in love with this book, and am going to buy a copy for each of my daughters as well

This book is strikingly beautiful! I just received it yesterday and wow! What I’ve seen so far of the content is really wonderful to!**only downside, and it’s not a reflection on the author so I didn’t take away any stars, but the copy (new) I was sent was damaged on the spine - very sad in such a beautiful book

This beautifully illustrated workbook will take you through all four seasons and how they symbolically relate to you, your life, and life in general. The illustrations are gorgeous as-is, but they can also be colored-in as part of your work through this book.The content in this book is an excellent framework for examining past experiences or delving into shadow work.The symbolism of the seasons are briefly described on the back cover:Winter - healing, low energy, feeling lost or uninspiredSpring - Rejuvenation, creativity, desire for adventureSummer - Action, confidence, high energy, productivityFall - Reflection, lethargy, feeling unfulfilledEach chapter goes into much more detail, however, with information, instruction, and exercises for you to work through.Truly cannot wait to begin working through this book in earnest. There is no "right" way to do so, but my personal intention is to work through each symbolic season along with the actual seasons, beginning this winter.

I'm not sure how I missed this book coming out in 2019, but wow am I glad I found it now. It's beautifully designed and there's something to be said for books for adults with illustrations...it makes it feel like more of an experience and not just reading a book, which is a good thing imho. I love how it is organized and there are plenty of rituals and practices that those from a wide variety of experience levels and thought/spiritual beliefs could apply/adapt. I can't wait to put some into practice. The one thing I think would have made it better (maybe for the next edition?) would be to have bridge seasons.....late winter/1st signs of spring is a very different energy from both full on Winter and full on Spring. as a bonus, I love that the whole book is black and white, b/c i really want to use it as an adult coloring book (an unfortunate term that always makes me think it is filled with strippers or something!) lol.

This book is beautiful. Very inspiring, interesting, new information. The artwork is absolutely breathtaking. I read this book front to back but it can definitely be read in sections to match the specific seasons. I highly recommend this book.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!! IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT GETTING IT...... GET IT!!!!!!

Beautiful Book I'll be referring to it often. As well written as it is beautiful.

Lauren’s work is a breath of fresh air. I find inspiration from her content on the regular over social media, and this book was nothing short of the awesomeness I expected. Thank you for your light and love Lauren!

Beautiful book to look at. All the black and white images. I was hoping for more with journal prompts and working threw the seasons but it lacked in that in my opinion. It's more what soul your season is in... Hence the title. But not really much information. Just pretty to look at.

Rich and layered with thought-provoking prompts and gentle guidance. And so, so beautiful. I have the e-version as well (because I travel a lot and love to have it with me all the time) but it's really a book that needs to be experienced in printed form!

Highly recommend this book!

Ich gebe 4 Sterne, da es sicher Menschen geben wird, die von diesem Buch reichlich profitieren könnten. Allerdings ist es nicht für mich. 1. Ich bin kein Anhänger der esoterischen Theorie/Phantasie, dass die Erde und die Menschheit dabei ist, in eine höhere Bewusstseinsstufe aufzusteigen. 2. Alletta nutzt die Jahreszeiten, um den Ablauf psychischer Veränderungsprozesse zu beschreiben und greifbarer zu machen. So weit, so ALT BEKANNT. Leider. Der Winter ist Depression und Leere und einfach furchtbar. Der Herbst auch nicht viel besser. Im Sommer ist alles einfach nur toll und produktiv und Lebensfreude pur. Und der Frühling ist ein Füllhorn an Kreativität und Wachstum. Juchu! Was aber, wenn für einen persönlich das alles so nicht stimmt? Wenn der Sommer wegen der ganzen Aktivität kaum zu ertragen und man sich zurückziehen muss ins stille Kämmerlein? Wenn der Winter mit seiner Stille und Einsamkeit und Dunkelheit die schönste Jahreszeit, in der die meiste Entwicklung stattfindet? Was, wenn der Frühling einen depressiv macht, weil man an Kreativität nichts vorzweisen hat, man im Herbst aber, wenn alles im Sterben begriffen ist, die produktivste, kreativste und glücklichste Phase des Jahres verbringt? Alletta geht auf diese Möglichkeiten nicht ein und mir ist es einfach unmöglich ihre Assoziationen zu den Jahreszeiten auf mein Leben und meine Entwicklungsprozesse zu übertragen. Sie stimmen einfach nicht. Sie haben noch nie gestimmt. Und ich kann mir vorstellen, dass es auch anderen Menschen so gehen könnte.

Ein wunderschön gestaltetes Buch mit vielen zauberhaften Illustrationen, Listen und vielen Tipps und Ritualen zum Jahreszyklus der Seele, die genauso durch den Frühling, Sommer, Herbst und Winter geht, wie die Natur.
