Healing the Five Wounds of the Heart: Free Yourself From the Bonds of the Past
In this groundbreaking book, medical doctor and energy healer Dr. Marie Mbouni shows us how to identify the five wounds of the heart, recover from the trauma they create, and live a full, wholehearted life.
Marie Mbouni grew up in Cameroon, Africa, and always felt a calling to be a healer. “My journey,” writes Marie, “began with Western medicine, and I built a career many would be proud of—but inside, I felt dead. My quest for self-discovery saved me. I embraced a new calling as a shaman and energy healer.”
After working with hundreds of clients, Mbouni noticed a strong pattern emerging. Nearly everyone had been wounded by experiencing one or more of five emotional abandonment, betrayal, separation, denial, and judgment. “Although we receive these wounds as children,” writes Mbouni, “they continue to play out in our adult lives, causing us to unconsciously seek out endless variations on the original painful experience.”
While we cannot time travel to the past and change things, we can heal the past by responding to our present situation in new ways. In Healing the Five Wounds of the Heart , the author gives you the tools to do precisely that. By bringing our awareness, imagination, creativity, and courage to these practices, we can heal our heart wounds and achieve wholeness, ease, and good health.

This book is an interesting journey, and while I'm not sure that I'm 100% on board with Mbouni's belief systems, I found it helpful. I also really appreciate that you don't have to be 100% on board with her belief systems to benefit from her suggestions and thought practices. The autobiographical portions of the book are fascinating, and the audiobook is well-read.

Short read. I liked how the author breakdown the different 5 types of wounds and how we can tackle each one of them. There were some spiritual ideologies that I wasn’t able to relate to, but overall it was worth reading.
