Review of Chakra Foods for Optimum Health: A Guide to the Foods That Can Improve Your Energy, Inspire Creative Changes, Open Your Heart, and Heal Body, Mind, and Spirit (Paperback)

Until I read this book, I never thought about the HOW of eating, only the WHAT.Deanna points to the equal importance and the studies behind who we're eating with and how the meal takes place.For example, she cites a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine from Drs. Christakis and Fowler. They demonstrated that patterns of body weight gain were directly connected to our social networks.What does that mean? The greater the connection an individual has with obese friends and family (even if miles apart), the larger the influence on he or she developing obesity.If you're emotionally close with overweight people, there is also a higher chance of you becoming obese. As a mom, this makes me thing about being in great shape for my kid's healthy future and my own too!This is only one of many amazing insights and studies presented in Chakra Foods.It will have you thinking about food in a whole new way, an empowering way.

Product Description
Nutritionist and yoga practitioner Deanna Minich's Chakra Foods provides information on how to heal emotional and physical woes through making the right food choices. The material for this book developed out of the author's highly successful "Nutrition for the Soul" classes, workshops, and private counseling sessions. Not a diet book, it looks at both the nutritional and spiritual aspects of the foods we eat and how they can heal us. For example, someone feeling stuck in their lives could turn to chapter 5 and find a list of orange foods -- apricots, carrots, salmon, pumpkin, oranges -- to help their sacral chakra. For each chakra, specific affirmations and other practices are also offered, as are meal plans and recipes. Helpful lists, charts, and diagrams help readers easily pinpoint and diagnose themselves and the various prescriptive options are all very clearly explained. With lots of useful sidebars, this book really is a treasure trove of energy medicine in the form of food -- truly food for the body, mind, and soul!



* Looks at the energetics of what and how we eat and how to rebalance through healthier choices.

* Easy to implement and stick with plan.

Review of 365 Health and Happiness Boosters (Paperback)

This little book is chock full of helpful suggestions
from the very "easy to get along with" author, MJ
Ryan.What I love the most about this book is
that Ms. Ryan offers such a variety of ideas AND
she shares ideas that DON'T work for her that
MAY be helpful to you.She doesn't make those
ideas WRONG, she simply says "I don't value
this but many do" such as Walking Meditation... and
she gripes about exercise yet asks you to do it
and maybe, then, she will feel energized to
exercise, too.

Some of my favorite suggestions include
creating a drawer of happinesss enhancers,
Call in Well (this is on my Son's birthday, May
6... it isn't a national holiday YET!).... Walking
Meditation... (I love walking meditation, works
wonders for me..... and is on August 19, my daughter
Emma's birthday).... and Dedicate this Day...
by sending positive loving feelings to someone
in need (this is on December 25, my daughter
Katherine's birthday.)

This book is a perfect one to use as a daily
companion, taking one day at a time - or for
a quick pick-me-up, thumb to any page
and apply what you learn.

Great stuff!

Product Description
Happiness begets happiness. When a person is happy, the feeling ripples out to others nearby. Research has shown that happiness also leads to better health. One-third of the population knows the secret to happiness - that it's an inside job, not contingent on possessions, status, or even life circumstances. Fortunately, the other two-thirds can learn to cultivate contentment. This book offers 365 concrete ways to experience more happiness. Many have to do with changing one's outlook and learning to lift one's spirit in the moment; others address everything from eating habits and interactions with others to sleeping patterns and taking nutritional supplements. Some of the tasks are lighthearted, others quite serious. They all will have a positive effect on mind, body, and spirit.
