Synopsis

Heal mind, body, and soul with this collection of self-care rituals and tips.
Never has the idea of mindfully checking in with ourselves and creating a “whole body” health—health that is more than simply the absence of illness—been so appealing. In this guide to self-care, wellness and beauty educator Mary Beth Janssen reveals how introspection, ritual, and love can help cure existential woes. She profiles a wide range of activities and exercises, including:

• Karma Cleanse: How to cultivate/give lovingkindness, compassion, and forgiveness in yourself, and then pay it forward.
• Intention, meditation, and breathwork techniques: Exercises for calm and centered living.
• Emotional Housecleaning: How to deal with unprocessed emotions “stuck” within yourself.
• Setting Healthy Boundaries: Check-in exercises for relationships that will help you reevaluate and build your support network.
• Tips for nourishing yourself, deep sleep, and beauty rituals to celebrate your body.

Review:

"Mind-Body Medicine Consultant Janssen contends that true wellness comes from developing consciousness-based wholeness between mind, body, spirit and environment. [...] VERDICT: Janssen provides a comprehensive and valuable handbook for enhancing consciousness and compassion." -The Library Journal

"You know you should take better care of yourself, but you don't know where to begin. (Bath bombs? Bullet journaling? Saying "no" to that toxic friend?) This book is a comprehensive guide to all things self-care, from tips on how to clean out emotional clutter to techniques to get more restful sleep. And side note, the book itself is gorgeous. We dare you to flip through this thing without feeling instantly calmer." -PureWow at Yahoo Lifestyle
