Soul Trek: Meeting Our Children on the Way to Birth

Soul Trek, what a wonderful book! Author Elisabeth Hallett has done the world a marvelous service. She has gathered pre-birth communications stories from 184 modern parents and shares them in her pioneering research book. Soul Trek uplifts our consciousness and reveals a new territory of human potential where parents meet their children on the way to birth.

Elisabeth Hallett's Soul Trek offers a stunningly broad spectrum of a little-explored area, fascinating not only to parents, but to anyone interested in parting the veil between this world and the invisible one. What a privilege, to be invited into the spiritually intimate moments of so many parents-to-be, while also being treated to Hallett's perceptions, which are exceptionally fluid, insightful, and unbiased. I wish I'd had this book when I was pregnant - it's like having hundreds of supportive friends around during one of life's most vulnerable and powerful transitions -- but that my children have it has already made a huge difference in their relationship with their child-on-the-way. The world would benefit enormously if all parents could regard their children as fully conscious even before they arrive. Soul Trek goes the distance toward accomplishing just such a leap in awareness.

Soul Trek is a must for every parent. It is a beautiful work that will validate parental intuition from its inception. The glimpses into the lives of those waiting to receive new souls and how each little spirit in turn reaches out with love, inspires us each to look for and honor our own unique experiences of our children and their attempts to reach out to us. The beauty is in the range of experiences Ms. Hallett has found. They are as varied as the children we bring into this world. Elisabeth Hallet also systematically and objectively tackles questions and doubts that naturally arise in a subject as personal as pre-birth communication. In leaving us enough room to question these experiences she also gives us the space and freedom to accept them.

Soul Trek is a fascinating and exceptionally well-written book about a most intriguing subject: the bonds between parent and child both before and after birth (even before conception). Hallett has done an impressive job on a controversial subject, steering carefully between sensationalism and skepticism, while at the same time maintaining a warmth and readability that make it hard to put the book down. This is a beautiful piece of work. Almost every paragraph calls forth memories, hopes, thoughts, and dreams. I highly recommend it, not just to parents, but to anyone open to new ideas about the nature of interpersonal attachment and our place as humans in society with others.
