October 29, 2011 brought us a major snowfall. We got 18 inches of snow on our little mountaintop while the village of Red Hook, a mere three miles down the road, got just a few. The other day’s dusting was just a warmup. Our power is out, but with our trusty iPad we should be able to have a channeled message posted as usual on Monday. Readers of Infinity will check in tomorrow. Enjoy the sunny day!

If you’ve been waiting for the paperback version of Jan’s book it was recently loaded on Amazon. Not all details are completed but you can place an order. Here is the link to the paperback version: The Man in the Woods.
Keep in mind that it is an adult book, containing adult content. We’d also love it if you’d be so kind as to write a review on the Amazon page and let others know about the book. It is already benefiting many people who have been in the midst of recapitulating. Jan is very open and revealing. She doesn’t hold back in describing and exploring the struggles of her youthful self at a most vulnerable and painful time. It is, in actuality, a very universal story of the human struggle to survive and thrive, and even more than that.
Thanks for reading!
Having trouble finding a Kindle app that downloads trouble-free? Don’t mind reading a book on your computer, laptop or ipad? See if the Kindle Cloud Reader will work for you. Click the link to Jan’s book below and when the page loads find the Kindle Store bar just above the title. Click “Cloud Reader” and follow the directions to download the free application.
We do know that a lot of people prefer reading a real book. As luck would have it The Man in the Woods—in paperback!!—should be up and ready to buy over the weekend or early next week at the latest. The paperback will be a print-on-demand book, output at the time of order, so we don’t have to waste a lot of paper and have hundreds of books taking up space in warehouses. It seems the most conscientious and practical way to go as far as print books are concerned.
We’ll let you know when it’s ready for purchase.
In the meantime, here’s the link to Jan’s book if you want to try the Kindle version: The Man in the Woods.
Jan’s book is full of gritty reality and plenty of moments of awe, and it ends on a very hopeful note. The second installment, On the Edge of the Precipice is now being prepared for publication.
We’ll update on the paperback status soon!

I will be taking a break from blogging this week, but I leave you with plenty to read! I’ll return next Monday, September 12th with a new message from Jeanne.
The long awaited first volume of The Recapitulation Diaries is now available as a Kindle ebook. If you don’t have a Kindle device, don’t worry. Free apps are available for your Mac or PC, and all sorts of devices—ipad, iphone, blackberry, etc. If you don’t have an Amazon account you will be prompted to open one in order to download the app and buy the book.
Here is the link to the Free Kindle Apps at Amazon.
Here is the link to The Man in the Woods The Recapitulation Diaries—Year One—by J.E. Ketchel
You can also access it through this link to our STORE under The Recapitulation Diaries tab on the lower left.
As promised, this book, which I’ve spent the last three years preparing, is being offered at $0.99, making it highly affordable and available to all who might benefit from it. This book and the two to follow document the shamanic practice of recapitulation, a journey that I underwent to fully heal from PTSD.
This is a deeply personal story, but I no longer have any attachment to it other than to offer it to others as an inspiration to seek healing. I request that any reactions or reviews of the book be posted directly on the Amazon page, set up to accept reviews and critiques and discussions.
Finally, as I state in the book itself and on the Amazon page, this is an adult book, containing graphic descriptions. I have included such scenes only because they are necessary to fully understand the process of recapitulation and the journey I took. Also, individuals concerned about being triggered by descriptions of physical and sexual abuse may not wish to read it. That being said, the book is also full of magic and awe.
I am planning, in the coming weeks, to prepare a paperback edition. Unfortunately, due to the cost of printing and shipping, this will be at a higher price than the Kindle version.
May my book reach as many people as possible. Total healing from all the burdens of trauma is indeed possible, followed by a most amazing unburdened life!
Love to you all,
Jan
