The author expands our ideas about spiritual renewal
through contact and connection with the beings who
exist in the realm above and beyond our ordinary senses.
Make no mistake about it. This is not a book for flippant new agers
or folks who want an easy fix. Reaching back into the time tested principals if Alchemy, it requires the reader to work for their own redemption.
St Benedict's model was work and pray - I think that motto applies to this book but with another eventual aspect - play.

Jungian analyst Jeffrey Raff, Ph.D. presents The Practice of Ally Work: Meeting and Partnering with Your Spirit Guide in the Imaginal World, guide of techniques for achieving intimate contact with the divine through allies - spirit guides unique to each human. Imagination-building practices, ways to identify one's ally and learn its name, methods for receiving guidance from it, and advice for navigating the two-way street in which both human and ally provide for each other's needs fill this soberly written roadmap to spiritual self-help. A purpose and practicality-oriented discussion of the metaphysical and sacred rewards of reaching out to God's divine manifestation.
