5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, Soulful Journey!, February 16, 2001

By 

Elena (San Francisco Bay Area) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Soul Aerobics - Conscious Movement of a Soul into Wholeness (Paperback)

Soul Aerobics by Barbara J. Semple is a deeply powerful book that takes us on her life's journey and quest for higher levels of enlightenment. While reading the book, I was astounded to realize how much Barbara's story was affecting me personally, bringing into the light previously hidden issues. There is a quiet, yet strong power throughout Soul Aerobics that encourages the reader to go deeper, ask questions, and trust their soul to provide answers. I became very aware of timing, and the right time to read Soul Aerobics. I found I needed to be paying attention, and create a clear space to process what would inevitably involve an awakening and healing of deep emotions. The book is filled with words and pieces of practical, grounded wisdom that seem to highlight themselves on the pages. Soul Aerobics is unlike other any other book I've ever read. It isn't a passive read; it reaches out to greet you, and then gently encourages you to explore the depths of your heart and soul. Something in Soul Aerobics will resonate and connect with each reader who is willing to be open and let their soul sing, learn, and heal.

This review is from: Soul Aerobics - Conscious Movement of a Soul into Wholeness (Paperback)

I have read hundreds of books on religion and spirituality. This is the best book experience I have ever had! As I read a little and find myself going off into my own thoughts and feelings. I enjoy wave after wave of healing and assimilation in my own personal story. Barbara makes spirituality so clear. I recommend Soul Aerobics be read over and over. M.C.

This review is from: Soul Aerobics - Conscious Movement of a Soul into Wholeness (Paperback)

"SOUL AEROBICS takes readers straight to the heart of their own authentic power. Barbara's writing is deeply personal, at times lyrical, always uplifting and filled with compassion. I am both moved and educated in the process. This is a superb account of hope, healing and transformation. The great value of this book is that it is written by a woman who has faced extraordinary challenges and lived to enjoy greater strength, wisdom and love in the process. It's a roadmap for the healing journey by an author who knows the path well." Hal Zina Bennett, author of Write From the Heart and Spirit Animals and the Wheel of Life

"SOUL AEROBICS describes the struggle leading to peace, the joy of that state, and exemplifies the love to others in the battle. This is an encouraging biography of success." William H.H. Reeder, III, M.D., Rheumatology, Redding, California

"My hat is off to Barbara Semple for another wonderful project. She has gone deeply into her own psychoimmunology and brought brilliant awareness to the forefront for anyone experiencing the challenges of healing. SOUL AEROBICS is a highly therapeutic read!" Richard Shames, M.D., Centre for Preventive Medicine, Boca Raton, Florida

"Barbara found herself on the hard road and instead of pulling over, she has stayed on it and by doing so has been able to document the many rewards life and spirit have to offer us if we are open to them." Richard Couch, Software Engineer, San Rafael, California

"I'm so impressed with Barbara's writing style. In the first 40 pages I found lots of things to highlight. I was so excited I called my daughter three times just in the Introduction! Outstanding!" A.D.

"Sparks of enlightenment fly from the pages! Reading Barbara's work is always a powerful, and very personal experience for me. She has a talent for touching and clarifying aspects of my life in an instant." E.B.
