You know who you are. I wrote this book because I believe in you. I believe in your authenticity, your uniqueness, your intensity, your wildness. I love the way you dye your hair purple, or hike up your short skirt, or blare your music while you lip-sync every single memorized lyric. I love your restlessness and your hunger. You are one of our greatest natural resources. You possess a necessary agency and energy that if unleashed could transform, inspire, and heal the world.
I know we make you feel stupid, as if being a teenager meant you were temporarily deranged. We have become accustomed to muting you, judging you, discounting you, asking you - sometimes even forcing you - to betray what you see and know and feel.
You scare us. You remind us of what we have been forced to shut down or abandon in ourselves in order to fit in. You ask us by your being to question, to wake up, to reperceive. Sometimes I think we tell you we are protecting you when really we are protecting ourselves from our own feelings of self-betrayal and loss.”
I needed a pick me up after the last couple books I’ve read and this was perfect! It gave me all the feels!! It was nice to learn more about Professor McGonagall and Lupin. J.K. Rowling gives us a more in-depth look, a mini-history if you will, of a few of the beloved characters from the Harry Potter stories. This Is Such a short book that I am not sure if it can be added to the number of the books read in the year, or to a challenge.
This Book Is A Short Book And I Feel It Is A Gems Of Wisdom. I Really Love This Little Hardcover Book Which Comes With A Small Pendant Which Can Be Used As A Bookmark Or You Can Wear It As A Necklace Too. It Is A Treasure For Every Woman To Reflect On Her Life. This Book Contains Excerpts from the original Anne Morrow Lindbergh bestseller on love, happiness, solitude, and contentment. This was a delightful little book - using shells and the sea to talk about women, their lives, and their relationships.
From my childhood, I’ve been an avid reader and so, last year when I started struggling with a few health issues, my grandfather gifted me a copy of #HealYourBody by #LouiseHay. Yet, the book languished on my shelf until a few months ago, when I was hospitalized for medical supervision after suffering from an anxiety attack. Eventually, I was diagnosed with a set of medical issues, all of which have established links to human stress levels.
Coincidentally, this book too is based on a similar premise and reads, as a kind of encyclopedia where you can look up any specific health problem and its probable mental cause alongwith a suggested “healing affirmation” to use as a remedy. But what gives it that sensitive human touch is the description of the author’s personal battle against cancer, including her reliance on alternative medicines in the form of affirmations for holistic healing.
After I came back home from the hospital,I ensured, I read the entire book and could find many parallels between my own illness and it’s probable psychological reasoning. Luckily for me, I actually implemented the author’ suggestions and remodelled my thought process to the extent, that in the last 3- 4 months, I have repeated a few affirmations every day without fail.
Today, I am in a much better space both mentally and physically, as this book helped me deal with psychological factors that triggered my illnesses. But every medical condition may not necessarily be linked to stress levels and therefore, one must refrain from considering it as the ultimate solution for a patient in pain. At the same time, it can be of help to anyone suffering through any physical ailments and looking for adjunctive treatment options.
