I am in week 1 of her cleanse and I have truly never FELT BETTER in my entire life. She recommends "leaning" into things and not take on too much, just what you can now, to make yourself and the world a better place. A must read. I have always been someone who tries to take care of myself in the mental, physical, and emotional way, but I have never really recognized the true connection of the 3 until Kathy Freston's book, Quantum Wellness. Kathy talks of so many tiny things that we take for granted, since we tend to live in our routines without taking account for things, and reminds us to live consciously---in SUCH a kind and easy way. It's just too easy and too great and I am SO thankful to Kathy and this book.
Some of the other Pillers are Self-work, Services and Fun activities. After you read this book it may be a good time to consider reading my book entitled "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers, a Message for Everyone" (See Profile Above) Quantum Wellness: A Practical and Spiritual Guide to Health and Happiness by Kathy Freston is a book that offers the reader eight Pillers of Wellness: Meditation, Exercise, Visualization, Spiritual practice which according to the author is compassion for others who are suffering. The book systematically addresses what it means to be healthy in mind, body and spirit and how the three are inextricably entwined.
It is great information to be aware of and not hide from. I now have her book on my website as suggested reading. I purchased her book, and I loved it. At that moment, I comprehended on a deep level the spiritual aspect of not eating meat, and from that moment on I have not had a piece of meat. I can remember where I was standing and can still feel the goose bumps. I saw an interview with Kathy on Oprah. Kathy explained conscious eating like I've never heard before. Thank you Kathy for sharing your earnst passion and convictions with us.
The wellness gained from reading this book and practicing its teachings far outweigh the small small void of ditching meat. It was a book that sent you on a guilt trip and force fed information to you. Sadly, the woman who introduced the book to me was recently stuffing a turkey on her favorite things show. Had a read Skinny Bitch, I don't think I would be a vegetarian today. Kathy educates us on factory farming and reiterates that what we think is rare animal abuse is actually the norm. She also talks about vegetarianism from a spiritual perspective, asking if we would want to consume the pain and fear that become a part of animals' flesh. While there is a lot more to this book than just becoming a vegetarian, it is the only thing I held onto.When I was first thinking of buying this book, I was also considering buying Skinny Bitch. I am so glad I did.
That's not at all what this book is. This book will show you that vegetarianism is much more than just a diet but rather a better way of living. This was the book that turned me into a veggie for life. The $25 price tag of this book is what turned me off, but then I found it on sale, so I decided on this book and left Skinny Bitch behind. This has a very light tone, written with the hope of educating and inspiring.
I read it from cover to cover not wanting to put it down. I do caution you about the section talking about how our food gets to our plates.
I loved it. Freston tells a very descriptive tale about how animals are treated.
Ms. I purchased two more copies for close friends.
I bought this book to take on vacation this year. There are many wonderful, practical ways to improve your life.
I am already a vegetarian but I think I would have made the change that very day I read about it if I had not been.This book talks about leaning into the changes that you want to make in all areas of your life.
