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!

I loved Spiritual Fitness. I could not put this book down. Laura does a great job taking you through an easy to learn step-by-step process that helps you to get in touch with your spiritual and physical health and well-being. She shows you how to achieve a healthy balance within yourself. I think this would be a very helpful book for anyone who's trying to find balance in their life and wants to become more connected with their spiritual side.

Laura Turner's book, Spiritual Fitness is a comprehensive yet simple text that acknowledges the "whole you." Many of us (especially women) have learned to dismember ourselves into roles and parts (i.e., I'm fat, I have a big butt, I am a mommy, I'm a corporate executive, I am not good enough). This book gives the tools you need to start putting all the pieces together so you can feel energized and have long-term, stress-free, healthy habits. Tips and strategies range all the way from healthy food choices to visualization and journaling. Her exercise program includes fun things like "The Inspiration Stretch, Wheel of Life and Embracing the World." If you're ready to break free of the all or nothing, rigid, perfectionistic world of yo-yo dieting, you're ready for this book.
