I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. This helped me realized that my heart and I were not on the same page. While reading it I learned a lot about the balance on my spiritual levels. I also enjoy all the quotes that where listed in the book and it gave me a general feeling of warmth and connected to something beyond this plane. That is something I had not realized that I had needed until I read this book.

A lovely book, focused on holistic healing.
This book not only shares ideas and reflections, but also exercises, meditations and other activities. All these activities that are presented by the authors, are in the hope to help the reader regain balance, to fight anxiety, depression, and other troubles of the mind and heart.
The medicine wheel and the four compass points:
This book teaches the reader about teachings around the "Medicine Wheel" and the "Four Compass Points".
North represents Fire and Spirit.
East represents Earth and Body.
South represents Water and Emotions.
West represents Air and Mind.
Through the book, the authors also share meditations and exercises. All of them based on the idea of coming full circle over and over again, always realigning and re-balancing, according to what might be needed. They call this process "The Dance of Healing".
A very spiritual book, but without ignoring the material world. Some of their recommendations are basic, but a great reminder that the best way to recharge and reconnect with ourselves and our spirit can be accomplished by many ways. From the most detailed meditation, to having fun while making snow angels on a winter day.
This book is full of useful information and overall a great read.
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a spiritual way to deal with things that brings us out of balance and take our joy away.

I really enjoyed this book. A really interesting self-care book. A book to look for information and having things/exercises to do yourself. There is chapters on the directions of the medicine wheel, so there is bringing that in. So there are some information that might be in other self help/ self care books, but has own information to use.

Wonderful, sensitive perspective and tools to return to our powerful healing love center
The authors warmly share the components to facilitate this therapy whose goal is "accessing the person's ability to heal and thrive." The process seeks to accompany us to return to the true self, assuming that our heart holds the truth of who we are, which will involve several levels of healing that will cause profound changes in our lives.
An aspect that differentiates it from conventional therapy is that people are not labeled as addicts, trauma victims, or any character defects; but they are contemplated from a deep perspective where our spiritual dimension seeks to emerge and generate impulses (symptoms of crisis) that are a call to restore ourselves, to return home, to our Being.
In order to carry out this therapy effectively, it is necessary to adapt it to the individual needs of each person. It is also essential to create an atmosphere of affirmation, connection, respect and community; in this context contact with nature is an important element for physical and mental balance and that allows us to relax to open our hearts.
Various practices are described to carry out the process through increasing our awareness with meditations, creative inquiry, enlightening questions, for example I found one with which I resonated: What are the wounds and beliefs that have silenced the wisdom of your heart?
The purpose of this therapy is to help us return to Wholeness and our authentic Self. I recommend the book for holistic alternative and psycho-energetics therapists, vibrational quantum therapies facilitators, and for anyone who wants to put into practice the beautiful exercises that are proposed here.
My appreciation to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book
