5.0 out of 5 stars Explore your soul, January 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Journey to Health: Writing Your Way to Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Well-being (Paperback)

I found Journey to Health to be a very easy to `read and follow' instructional guide to journaling.
It incorporates mind and body and has a wonderfully soothing accompanying tape to promote relaxation and focus before writing. Ms. Batcheller teaches exercises that range from basic daily entries to deep cathartic writing or connecting to your inner healer. She introduces you to yourself in new ways. Included is the time allotment for each writing exercise. I highly recommend this workbook as it helped me gain insight and perspective on issues related to my physical and emotional health.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reinforcing and Furthering My Love of Journaling, January 20, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Journey to Health: Writing Your Way to Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Well-being (Paperback)

I've kept a personal journal for years, and Lori Batcheller's book was a reinforcement of what I've always felt about journals and the validity of putting your mind and feelings on paper. Journaling is a wonderful discipline. What's so great about Lori's book is that she gives even experienced journal writers new ways of stating and understanding their emotions. "Journey to Health" is such a valuable book. I'm still touched by it.
