Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

A step-by-step guide to reclaiming the soul
• Shares four maps for spiritual rebirth based on Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, and the precession of the equinoxes
• Traces the author’s journey of rebirth, covering his transformation through a spiritual crisis and the creation of a more meaningful life
• Provides visualization practices based on ancient Tibetan wisdom to support you on the path of self-realization
Exploring wisdom from mystical traditions and perennial philosophy on "dying before you die," Buddhist psychotherapist Miles Neale shares his own hero’s journey of rebirth, providing a detailed roadmap for the pilgrimage through dissolution, into the great mystery, and back again to the world. He shares his transformation through a spiritual crisis and, ultimately, his creation of a more meaningful life. He provides four intersecting maps to help guide readers through the experiential process of metaphoric death, reclaiming the soul, and sharing one’s genius with others. These four maps&&&8212;the cosmological map, psychological map, alchemical map, and mythopoetic map&&&8212;draw on the mythological stages of Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung’s process of individuation, the Tibetan Buddhist alchemy of conscious rebirth, and the astrological phenomenon of the precession of the equinoxes, offering a detailed philosophical underpinning for the soul’s journey to immortality. He also provides in-depth visualization practices based on ancient Tibetan wisdom to support you on the path of self-realization.
Integrating Tibetan Buddhism with psychology, trauma healing, neuroscience, and mythology, along with profound personal experience, Neale provides a step-by-step manual for spiritual rebirth, revealing how to reframe life’s unrelenting challenges and transitions as opportunities for psychological growth.
“The elixir of immortal life is the secret of both Eastern and Western esoteric traditions. Miles Neale guides us through cross-cultural mysteries of life, death, and psycho-spiritual transformation on an alchemical journey that leads us through the subtle pathways of our embodied being toward the ultimate ambrosia that flows from the fully awakened human heart and, in so doing, unbinds the mind and body and renews the world. This book is itself an elixir. Read it and be transformed!”
