Elizabeth Bodien

Journeys with Fortune: A Tale of Other Lives

Trained in cultural anthropology, Elizabeth Bodien was at
first skeptical that past lives even existed, much less that
exploring them could heal present-life troubles. However, the
first time she was professionally regressed, she immediately
experienced a clear and complete life as Rita, a Mexican
woman in the 1700s. There was a deeply emotional resonance
there and Bodien began to feel she could very well have been
Rita of 18th-century rural Mexico, as well as any number of
other people.
In Journeys with Fortune: A Tale of Other Lives, Bodien
chronicles nine of the most fascinating and relevant of her
past lives, including lives as an abandoned child raised in a
nunnery in Helvetia, a male sandal-maker in Ancient Greece,
a German calligrapher who speaks with the dead, an
Atlantean priestess-in-training, and even a future life.
These experiences are presented with the author’s careful
attention at each stage: resistance, fascination, doubt, and
renewed openness. And she might not have been able to
continue if it weren’t for her spirit guide, Fortune, a
mysterious stone spirit who guided her progress and led her
to become a writer of the “mysteries of life.”
