Book Description

“A comprehensive guide to all things self-care, from tips on how to clean out emotional clutter to techniques to get more restful sleep . . . gorgeous.” —PureWow Never has the idea of mindfully checking in with ourselves and creating “whole body” health—well-being 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 loving-kindness, 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. Real wellness isn’t just the absence of injury or illness: it’s a ”whole body” approach to health that anyone can add to their daily lives. Mary Beth Janssen, an experienced consultant on alternative medicine, shares a consciousness- and compassion-based system for navigating wholeness in mind, body, and soul. “Follow her step by step instructions for a number of contemplative practices and become exquisitely mindful in your day to day life—thus more apt to make the most life-affirming choices possible. She advocates that from this place, we experience more groundedness, balance and joy.” —Mother Earth Living
