On one of my many favorite trips to Barnes and Noble in search of some new literature, I came across a most profound book. I was specifically looking for a book that broke down the science of detoxing, healthy approaches to detoxing and what specifically happens to the body when it is on a detox. Instead, I came across a book by Marianne Williamson titled "A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrending Your Weight Forever". I was completely wowed because here was a book that took a spiritual look at weight loss and addressed the cosmology of factors of weight gain. The book of course is a spin on "A Course in Miracles", a book that speaks to a spiritual thought system. "A Course in Weight Loss" assists in the reader examining the reasons and root causes of their weight gain and relationship to food.
Although to most people I may not look like I have weight issues, the main thing is I alone can identify my own challenges with weight and health, and Marianne's book is helping me sort it out a little bit more in depth. Health is something we all identify with because we live in a world that threatens the vibrancy of our health everyday, and we too contribute to that threat by self-harm through fear, ego, addictions, naivete, and ignorance. I myself am no stranger to any of those. Daily I move to be healthier in mind, body and spirit, and now I have a new book that adds some inspiration to that daily journey. Might I add that it was cool to find out after I bought the book that it was one of "Oprah's Favorite Things of 2010". Oprah has good taste.
