Book Spotlight: The Garden Within by Dr. Anita Phillips
Disclosure: A copy of the book was provided for review purposes. Opinions are 100% my own.
I love the concept of this book, comparing ourselves to a garden! Starting with the soil that is our heart, I want to keep growing my garden and with this book, I now have valuable tools to nuture my heart and do a little unlearning from the past to continue to grow into the future.
"Too often we’ve been taught to view our emotions with suspicion, seeing them as something to be suppressed, managed, or mastered. This isn’t true. Emotions are not your enemy. Internal war is not your destiny. You were created to flourish.
In this game-changing book, trauma therapist and mental health expert Dr. Anita Phillips reveals how embracing emotion is the key to living your most powerful life. Just as gardens thrive in good ground, the abundant life you’ve been seeking can only be grown in the soil of your heart
Blending faith, the latest discoveries in neurobiology, and her own research and work as a licensed therapist, Dr. Anita shows you how to cultivate a state of emotional well-being that can:
- strengthen your body and reverse the effects of trauma
- calm anxiety and renew your mind
- unleash a new level of spiritual power in your life."
I really can't wait to dive into this book and do a little weeding and planting.
How about you? Are you ready to garden?
