Spirituality, Healing and Me

‘Book Tour Reviews’

I am currently doing a 'book tour review tour' for 'Spirituality, Healing and Me' to celebrate the launch of the book in the USA on the 1st May, 2022. If you're interested in buying a copy, I would be grateful for your support.

First of all, thank you so much to @ilana_estelle_author for the proof copy and @instabooktours for organising this book tour!

I often find it very difficult to rate non-fiction, therefore I will discuss which aspects of this book I enjoyed more than others.

I believe that spirituality is about “what makes me me”. As a trainer in the mental health industry, I often discuss the importance of attitudes, beliefs and values in shaping our actions and experiences. It was so great to see this mirrored in the pages of Ilana’s book. I admire Ilana’s ability to remain positive in spite of all the hardships she has encountered in her life, and as such, I was inspired.

I loved that Ilana brought elements of Psychology into the mix. After finishing my Psychology BSc in 2017, I continue to enjoy reading about the subject I have been so passionate about for many years. Ilana incorporates mindfulness, which is something I try to practice whenever I can.

If I had this book in physical format, I have no doubt that I would have tabbed the parts that resonated with me most strongly, so that I could refer back to these when I need a change of perspective. Therefore, if you do check out this book, my advice would be to purchase it in paperback - available as of yesterday (happy publication day for yesterday @ilana_estelle_author ).

One thing I would have loved to see more of would have been more context from Ilana’s life. However, I’m sure this just means I need to check out her other novel, A Cerebral Palsy Story, which I know was loved by many, including the lovely @whatslottiereading.

What an eye opening book!

As someone who is already very spiritual this book really spoke to me from the very first page.

I won't lie I have been having a really tough time recently and my spiritual journey has taken a massive back seat and after reading this I have realised that was the wrong thing for me to do.

This book teaches us how to live a spiritual life and how it can be used to help not only you but others too.

It tells you about selflessness and humility, karma (the real meaning), why integrity is so important.

This is by no means a religious book and it is not pushy in any way. If you are unsure if you are spiritual this is definitely the book for you to help you with your journey.

Thank you to @instabooktours for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review. I will definitely be recommending this to my circle (spiritual group)

  1. I thoroughly enjoyed reading these well-deserved reviews and wish you every success with your 'book tour.'

    I hope it will help spread the word about your great work and your messages of positivity. Your books are particularly helpful in these difficult times.

    1. Thank you... I never advocate singing my own praises, and it is likely to put people off. But since you're talking about it, I hope people reading this blog will choose to make their own minds up.

      I know what's gone into these insightful, intuitive, spiritual books, based around the universe, both books can help you move forward. We all have emotional struggles. It's part of the human condition.

      Both books help with mental and emotional struggles. It's a win, just gotta buy the books! All book proceeds to go to charity.
