If I could give this book more than five stars, I would. Right from the get-go, ChaCha’s story gripped me. I cried when she retold her childhood story of betrayal, abuse, and abandonment. As a mother of three beautiful children, it’s hard for me not to cry my heart out when I listen to someone experiencing so much pain at such an early age. The story was profound, and it took me through her hero’s journey from pain and darkness to transformation from within. She writes beautifully, and every chapter made me want to read more. I also enjoyed that after some chapters, Cha Cha has some reflections and introspection so that readers can think about our past events in a different light.
This woman went through so many hardships and obstacles, and she was courageous and inspiring, telling us how the Divine Mother was with her, loving and protecting her every step.
This book motivated, inspired, and filled me with love for the Divine Mother. I highlighted countless sentences to refer to at the end. Some of my favorite phrases are: “The soul’s alchemy begins in surrender, where shadows and light dance to reveal the truth of who we are.” Another is: “Chaos does not destroy; it awakens the dormant power of the spirit to rise anew.”
Bravo! This book will light up your faith for anyone who needs to hear that they are not alone in their “dark night of the soul” moments. We are never alone, and we need to open ourselves to the miracles that await us when we trust our souls and surrender to them. I am recommending this book to all my friends.

I couldn't put this book down! Not only is ChaCha Israel a masterful writer...every word comes from her heart. She allows herself to be fully transparent without any purpose other than being a reflection of every reader's potential to awaken, heal, evolve and reclaim the truth of who we are. Moving beyond childhood trauma wasn't about repairing something wrong with this author. Instead, it was a remembering, an embracing of her totality, and an ascension into the Light she has come to be/share on this planet. Thank you for telling your story ChaCha. We are all enhanced by it.

Beautifully written expressions of life, love, loss and relationships, collected into themes like 'light and shadow', 'life's journey'. Many of the sentiments touched me, they felt written from the heart.

"Soul Alchemy" by ChaCha Israel is a beautifully written journey of gaining grit and depth after coming through tragic times. The author's poetic words lead us along a visionary path to indeed "awakening the divine within" (her subtitle) and an understanding that all the pain we've experienced is a doorway to our highest self. An amazing array of healing modalities are presented here. Another therapy-lucky for us-seems to be writing, and I'm so impressed with this talented author's skills that I'm looking forward to checking out her other books.

This true story is nothing short of extraordinary. Soul Alchemy: Awakening the Divine Within is so raw and heart-gripping that it feels like the author has poured her very soul into every word. The vulnerability and authenticity in ChaCha's journey touched me in ways I didn't think is possible. This book doesn't just tell her story; it speaks directly to the reader's heart, stirring emotions so deep that I found myself moved to tears more than once.
And to heal from cancer...Wow! Such a powerful reminder miracles do happen! Highly recommend!

Soul Alchemy: Awakening the Divine Within by ChaCha Israel is a gripping and inspiring memoir. The vivid language pulled me in immediately-I could feel the humid air of the Philippines and see the stark lights of the emergency room, moments that painted a raw picture of her extraordinary journey. ChaCha's resilience and courage in the face of a life-altering cancer diagnosis left me in awe. Her transformation through holistic practices like Ayahuasca, Reiki, and quantum hypnosis was described with such depth and honesty that it felt like I was walking alongside her. I was struck by the universality of her description of the guiding love and strength she gained from her faith.

It is always true that hardships can bring out the most powerful transformations and as hard as they are they are in some ways the most useful and meaningful ways to girl and shift. I enjoyed this book because it revealed that sentiment.

This is the authors story of triumph and healing. It’s immersive - I could easily picture the scenes in the Philippines and Austin, Texas. You feel like you are along for the ride as she battles cancer and the failure of her relationship while using healing techniques we could all benefit from.

I applaud the Author for this open, honest story she shared in this book. She had been through some very difficult, yet relatable challenges with her personal and professional life. I found the parts about using more Holistic options for healing such as Reiki very interesting. Her ideas on higher power and mine are not the same, but her message was strong and certainly had an impact on me. I really liked the reflective exercises as well. Gripping story! I highly recommend.

ChaCha Israel’s 'Soul Alchemy: Awakening the Divine Within' is an introspective and deeply personal memoir that invites readers into the author's transformative journey from deep personal darkness to spiritual enlightenment. With a compelling blend of raw vulnerability and spiritual insight, the author weaves together a story that not only chronicles her own healing but offers a blueprint for others seeking to unlock their own divine potential.
The narrative begins with a life-shattering cancer diagnosis, a pivotal moment that catalyzes the author’s embrace of non-traditional healing practices—particularly Ayahuasca, Reiki, and quantum hypnosis—serves as the foundation for the transformation she describes. Through these spiritual practices, the author uncovers a process she calls "soul alchemy," wherein her pain and fear are transmuted into light and wisdom. What sets this book apart from other memoirs of healing is its seamless integration of deeply personal reflections with accessible, practical guidance. As the author reveals her emotional and spiritual evolution, she draws upon her experiences to offer a roadmap for readers who may be navigating their own struggles. Each chapter is infused with meditative prompts and exercises that encourage reflection and healing, making the book feel not only like a story but also an interactive guide to personal transformation. These elements are designed to help readers confront their own fears, doubts, and limitations, and ultimately awaken their own connection to a greater sense of purpose.
The prose is immersive and thought-provoking, and doesn’t shy away from the complexities of her healing journey, nor does it offer overly simplified solutions. Instead, it presents a nuanced view of self-awakening that acknowledges both the beauty and the difficulty of the process. The result is a book that feels genuine and grounded—one that doesn’t promise easy answers, but instead invites readers to embrace the process of growth and change with an open heart.
The book is also visually stunning. with the thoughtful incorporation of images that complement the themes of the memoir and enhance the reader’s experience. These images add a layer of depth to the narrative, evoking the sense of sacredness that permeates her spiritual journey. They are more than just decorative; they serve to anchor the reader in the meditative and transformative qualities of the story, reinforcing the book’s deeper messages.
