This is a wonderful guide to help you begin your journey to a healthy way of living, thinking and eating! If you like the works of Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay and Shakti Gawain, you will love my friend Laura Turner's book Spiritual Fitness: The 7-Steps To Living Well. She presents a wide range of disciplines in a simple, straight forward and easy to understand format. Laura provides a vast array of inspirational affirmations and insights with each of her 7 steps. She simplifies each step by first giving a motivational quote/message and an overview of what you will learn. Then she explains the important concepts needed to understand each step, and breaks them down even further with detailed FAQs. Finally, she helps you incorporate each step into your daily life with several assignments and exercises. Each step builds upon the next, increasing your awareness to yourself and your connection with the world around you. Laura covers topics that balance and enhance the mind, body and spirit, such as creative visualization, meditation, energy centers (chakras), nutrition and Qigong. She also provides a list of recommended reading for you to continue your road to spiritual well-being in greater detail. So if you want to get headed in the right direction, this is the book for you!

I have read many books about spirituality, but "Spiritual Fitness" stands apart. Turner approaches the sensitive topic with respect and open-mindedness. Her book is divided into bite-sized pieces, which makes it easy-to-read and understand. Combining the best of Western medicine and ancient wisdom, "Spiritual Fitness" leads you to a lifestyle of peace and health. This is the real deal!
