The Body Talks


Book Description

This indispensable companion to the Diet Programme, Heal Your Weight, is a comprehensive A-Z of food facts that Judy is consistently asked about, which covers many of those conflicting opinions about foods over the past few years. Response so far to this book has been that it is fascinating and sometimes shocking reading that everyone must be aware of if they are ever to be able to negotiate the nutritional maze of current nutrition. This is combined with a 90 day diet programme diary. As you follow The Body Talks Programme during the first three months, you will notice the pattern of detox that is described in Heal Your Weight. It is a fascinating journey and by recording it in this diary, you will see the patterns emerge and learn deeply what works for you and what doesn't. This book is therefore the direct result of the body's teachings on how and what we need to eat to be healthy. The information has come directly from asking the body, through personal experience and successful results. Judy's reputation as a ground breaking gifted healer is drawing clients from all over the world, including the USA, Canada, Germany, France, the Far East, South Africa and Australia.Five years ago, many of the premises of The Body Talks Programme were revolutionary and went against most of the accepted nutritional rules of the past two decades. The results spoke for themselves, as did the basic common sense of the information the body revealed. The programme is a return to nature, to good sense, to balanced simple eating. It is firmly based in the realities of busy modern life.




The Body Toxic


Book Description

We are running a collective chemical fever that we cannot break. Everyone everywhere now carries a dizzying array of chemical contaminants, the by-products of modern industry and innovation that contribute to a host of developmental deficits and health problems in ways just now being understood. These toxic substances, unknown to our grandparents, accumulate in our fat, bones, blood, and organs as a consequence of womb-to-tomb exposure to industrial substances as common as the products that contain them. Almost everything we encounter—from soap to soup cans and computers to clothing—contributes to a chemical load unique to each of us. Scientists studying the phenomenon refer to it as “chemical body burden,” and in The Body Toxic, the investigative journalist Nena Baker explores the many factors that have given rise to this condition—from manufacturing breakthroughs to policy decisions to political pressure to the demands of popular culture. While chemical advances have helped raise our standard of living, making our lives easier and safer in many ways, there are costs to these conveniences that chemical companies would rather consumers never knew about. Baker draws back the curtain on this untold impact and assesses where we go from here.

How the Body of Christ Talks


Book Description

In today's highly charged social and political environment, we often don't know how to talk well with others--especially with people whose backgrounds differ from our own. C. Christopher Smith, coauthor of the critically acclaimed and influential Slow Church, addresses why conversation has become such a challenge in the 21st century and argues that it is perhaps the most-needed spiritual practice of our individualistic age. Smith likens practicing conversation to the working of the human body. Bodies are wondrous symphonies of diverse, intricate parts striving for our health, and our health suffers when these parts fail to converse effectively. Likewise, we must learn to converse effectively with those who differ from us in the body of Christ so we can embody Christ together in the world. In community, we learn what it means to belong to others and to a story that is bigger than ourselves. Smith shows how church communities can be training hubs where we learn to talk with and listen to one another with kindness and compassion. The book explores how churches can initiate and sustain conversation, offers advice for working through seasons of conflict, suggests spiritual practices and dispositions that can foster conversation, and features stories from several congregations that are learning to practice conversation.




Your Body Is Not an Apology Workbook


Book Description

Based on the New York Times bestseller The Body Is Not an Apology, this is an action guide to help readers practice the art of radical self-love both for themselves and to transform our society. Readers of The Body Is Not an Apology have been clamoring for guidance on how to do the work of radical self-love. After crowdsourcing her community, Sonya Renee Taylor found her readers wanted more concrete ideas on how to apply this work in their everyday lives. Your Body Is Not an Apology Workbook is the action guide that gives them tools and structured frameworks they can begin using immediately to deepen their radical self-love journey—such as Taylor's four pillars of practice, which help readers dismantle body shame and give them access to a lifestyle rooted in love. Taylor guides readers to move beyond theory and into doing and being radical self-love change agents in the world. “In this book, you will be asked to draw, color, doodle, talk to friends, take risks, and perhaps step outside of what feels like your natural gifts and talents,” Taylor writes. “I encourage you to release the need to be ‘good' at what you are doing and instead strive to be authentic. Perfection is the enemy of radical self-love because it is an impossible illusion. When the voice of perfectionism chimes in, take a deep breath, remember that the work is about the process, not about the product, and give yourself permission to be fabulously unapologetically imperfect.”
