Download or read book Buddha Belly written by Brittney L Oliver Chc and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if there was one singular thing that you could focus on that could improve almost every aspect of your well-being from your immune system to mental health, weight, skin, sleep, hormone imbalance, autoimmunity, and more? What if that "one thing" was actually an entire ecosystem located within the body? The human microbiome or "gut" is an emerging area of science that is teaching us centuries' worth of knowledge regarding health. The gut houses an impressive community of microbes responsible for almost every aspect of your health including your brain! Today's modern diet, environment, and lifestyle have wreaked havoc on this precious internal ecosystem and thus have resulted in a massive influx of disease, sickness, and mental health. Now, unlike most diet books, what if hacking your gut wasn't just about what you ate but a culmination of how you think, move, and live all together? What if your physical health was also connected to your fulfillment, work, family time, and financial choices? Buddha Belly is the tool for hacking your microbiome, your internal life powerhouse, utilizing all aspects of true health. Ultimate health is mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual; and only when all areas come into alignment can we experience our best life in a state of wellness and well-being. Replace fear and suffering with empowerment and vitality and create your best life while building the ultimate mind and body to enjoy it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only 4 percent of women around the world consider themselves to be beautiful, according to research done by Dove, and twenty million women suffer from significant eating disorders at some point in their life—The Honest Body Project was created to combat this tragic problem of poor body image in our society. Founded by photographer Natalie McCain, this project is opening the eyes of women around the world and helping them to see the beauty both outside and inside of themselves. It is a collection of black and white portraits and stories, raw and untouched, from hundreds of women who have bared their hearts and souls to be a part of the project. Natalie tastefully photographs the women in their underwear, showing off their natural shapes and “imperfections.” There is no editing done after the fact, and the natural beauty of these women—from all backgrounds and walks of life—shines through the lens. Together, they create a beautiful, honest picture of both motherhood and what it means to be a woman. Topics include body image issues, breast cancer, depression (postpartum and otherwise), anxiety, bottle feeding versus breast feeding, aging, and more. The Honest Body Project is a breath of fresh air, breaking down walls and helping women learn that they are not alone in their hardships. It wants to help women everywhere contribute to a better world, and to learn to love themselves and appreciate their bodies for what they are: perfectly imperfect. It is time to celebrate the true form of women.

Download or read book Path to the Soul written by Ashok Bedi and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 2000-09-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Path to the Soul provides an important evolutionary leap in the rapidly evolving understanding of our psychological and spiritual essence. Drawing from Hindu and Christian spiritual wisdom, biological medicine, psychiatric technique, and over twenty-five years of clinical experience, Dr. Bedi has created a highly effective and integrated treatment approach to problems associated with both medical and psychiatric illness. He explains the Hindu concepts of maya, karma, and dharma, and builds a bridge between psychological dis-ease and our intrinsic hunger for spiritual union. Each symptom is seen as a crucial whisper from our soul, and if we understand its message, it can lead us to psychological balance. Dr. Bedi guides us through the process of Kundalini diagnosis, showing how the use of life events, medical or psychiatric symptoms, relationship strengths and problems, and life goals and aspirations can help us determine our dominant and auxiliary chakras. Since our chakras are focal points where physical, emotional, developmental, and spiritual forces intersect, they provide a paradigm that usefully links physical, psychological, developmental, and spiritual dimensions. He explains how he has successfully helped many patients correct imbalances by learning to access and strengthen this energy. Throughout this book there are numerous examples of how Dr. Bedi's patients have discovered what each individual eventually has to recognize; that our fulfillment, satisfaction, wholeness, and harmony can be reawakened when we touch the spark of divine light glowing within.

Download or read book Everybody Has a Belly Button written by Cerina Vincent and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everybody has a bellybutton, Everybody has a nose, Everybody has a mouth, Everybody has toes. Everybody has hair . . . Some have black or brown or blonde or red, Some have gray or silver on their head. The different colors all aglow . . . Make everybody special, like a rainbow. Everybody Has a Belly Button is a timeless and delightful book for babies and toddlers that teaches our youngest readers about skin color, equality, and equity in the same way we teach our babies to find their belly button, nose, eyes, and toes. Cerina Vincent's effortless rhymes and Zoi Hunter's digital watercolor designs illustrate that “every body” is the same. And the subtle differences in our bodies’ colors (eyes, hair, skin) is what makes us all beautiful and special, “like a rainbow.” Babies learn through rhyme—it boosts brain activity and early literacy—and Everybody Has a Belly Button starts the conversation about racial equality immediately while also tenderly pointing out their other tiny body parts.
