Spirituality, healing and me

This is definitely worth a read wherever you are on your spiritual journey.

About the book: Ilana Estelle grew up not knowing she had a disability; it took forty-six years for her to find out that she was living with cerebral palsy. Spirituality has helped Ilana on her journey and in this book she uses her experience of mental and physical disability in the healing process, to create positivity and healing for others.

Based on her own experiences of spirituality and healing, she shows how focusing on values such as understanding, compassion, tolerance, creativity and acceptance can help us find our inner calm.

The title of this book alone resonated with me so hard as one of the most beautiful things to come out of my MS diagnosis, was my connection to my spiritual side. I became a Reiki practitioner; I joined a women's circle which is heavily focused on spirituality, and I guess you could say it helped me make sense of what had happened to me. In fact, it was reading Rebecca Campbell's Light is the New Black that helped me to realise that it had happened for me - not to me.

Anyway, total digression! Ilana's book is great wherever you're at in your spiritual journey. It's not religious or preachy and it guides you through spirituality in such a simple and gentle way yet somehow covers off everything. Broken down into chapters that help you to take it step by step. It offers up guidance for spirituality as a means to heal whatever healing looks like to you. It's certainly not aimed at people with serious conditions like cerebral palsy or MS alone. Anyone can benefit and it explains why anyone can be spiritual simply by being.

This is a book that I think I'll buy a physical copy of as I want to be able to dip in and out of it in the future. It's been a much-needed reminder for me as I haven't been taking as much care of that side of me for the last couple of months.

Review✨

Having taken a keen interest in spirituality in recent months I was so excited to be accepted onto this book tour. Ilana writes beautifully about spirituality and healing and how these practices have helped her. In turn she helps the reader see how we can help ourselves. It isn’t pushy or anything like that it just enlightens you about what is out there.

I really like how the book was laid out as it gave you information in helpful chunks rather than lots of information overwhelming your mind with no structure.

If you want to boost your confidence, become self-aware or just improve your wellbeing then this is the book for you.

  1. I never tire of reading such wonderful and well-deserved reviews about your work.

    Everyone should have a copy of your amazing book and with proceeds going to charity that's a great reason to buy another copy for a friend.

    1. Thank you! Personally, I could give you many reasons why you should 'take a chance on me', and why you should invest in my 'books', but with book proceeds going to charity, it's a selfless act to do.

      Right now, charities are crying out for funding, particularly charities who are not funded by the government and who rely on the public for funds.
