title: The Toltec Path of Recapitulation: Healing Your Past to Free Your Soul
author:  Victor Sanchez 
description: Recapitulation is an ancient Toltec ritual that helps people resolve traumatic events by reliving them. Unlike modern regressive therapy that focuses on healing psychological wounds, <i>The Toltec Path of Recapitulation</i> is geared toward healing the energetic body, explains author Victor Sanchez. "When we talk about our energetic body, we are talking about something that is different from the ego," Sanchez writes. Instead, it is the "energy surrounding the physical body, which is known as the aura; feelings, and the dream body." Using a 10-step technique, Sanchez shows readers how to enter a trance to relive the pain of the past, then start the process of energetic restoration. Readers may be alarmed to find that recapitulation takes place alone, inside a wooden box with a hinged door. Comfort comes in knowing that Sanchez, whose previous works include <i><a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/1879181231/${0}">The Teachings of Don Carlos</a></i>, is an ethical and skilled guide. He offers detailed instructions as well as strong caveats about who should and shouldn't embark on this intensive and rewarding work. <i>--Gail Hudson</i>
