In Psyche's Seeds,
Jacquelyn Small, the bestselling author of Awakening
in Time combines day-to-day exercises
with the archetypal myth of Psyche and Eros to show readers how
to successfully integrate their psychological and spiritual searches
– a step vital to realizing our fullest state of happiness
and potential. Just as the mythical Psyche had to learn a new set
of life principles to free herself from the jealousies of Aphrodite
and win the love of the goddess's son Eros, so do we need to use
Psyche's lessons to combine the forces of our psyche and soul.
These twelve sacred principles include:
The book's "Twelve Seed Thoughts for the Journey" and "Psyche's Four Tasks" give readers immensely practical personal exercises for creating a soul-based psychology. Jacquie Small shows how it is only when we learn to combine soul and psychology that we find the true path to a higher purpose and a better sense of self. |
PRAISE FOR PSYCHE'S SEEDS …
| "When reading Psyche's Seeds we realize that we are in the hands of a master. This is a truly comprehensive guide to our own self realization as co-creators of a new world. The myth of Psyche and Eros forms the anatomy of our integration as whole beings, fully human and fully divine. A beautiful work of art!" |
– Barbara Marx Hubbard, author of Revelation
and Emergence
|
| "Psyche's Seeds uses the Greek myth of Psyche and Eros, combined with touching stories from the author’s own life, to teach us how spiritual growth must be grounded in psychological healing. Unlike many spiritual teachers, Jacquelyn Small deeply understands the emotional underpinnings of mature spiritual development, and offers wise, inspiring, and helpful guidance on the path to a sturdy and grounded spirituality. |
– John Amodeo, Ph.D., author of The Authentic
Heart and Love & Betrayal
|
| "A practical and helpful guide to the psychospiritual journey, Psyche's Seeds shows how becoming fully human is an integrative path, one that involves opening to our larger spiritual nature while also facing and working with our conditioned, psychological patterns from the past." |
– John Welwood, Ph.D., author of Toward
a Psychology of Awakening
|
| "Psyche's Seeds is a loving exploration of the most universal lesson of the world's great spiritual traditions: the indwelling divinity within every human being. Most of our anxieties occur because we forget this monumental fact. This book is about recovering this wisdom, and how we can make this realization come alive in daily life. Jacquelyn Small's gift of clarity is admirable – a mark of all great teachers." |
– Larry Dossey, MD, author of Reinventing
Medicine and Healing Words
|
| "Jacquelyn Small reaches deeply into her own wisdom and that of the ages to produce a book of great importance. Her vision echoes from ancient times to the present, because the lessons of Psyche and Eros are timeless. Psyche's Seeds will help anyone live a more balanced, happier, and fulfilling life." |
–Barbara Dossey, RN, MS, FAAN, HNC, author
of Rituals of Healing and Florence Nightengale: Mystic,
Visionary, Healer

"Jacquelyn Small is the rare and gifted teacher we all wish we had when we were growing up. She combines heartfelt wisdom with the most erudite intellectual knowledge of our time in a blend that is both helpful, very readable, and full of deep insights. In her latest book we read of her own struggles to become spiritually awakened (which she has) together with valuable insights into the depths of our personal and global psyches. Ms. Small's twelve Sacred Principles together with the her recommended daily practice, give you, whether you are the most sophisticated intellectual reader or one who finds reading a challenge, practical steps to awakening the soul in everything you do. Don't pass this one by."
