And one of my favorite jobs in those roles is seeking out resources for SoulCollagers to enhance their practice. It’s a pleasure to stumble across a movie or book that I know will resonate with you. Films take on new meaning for me when I watch them now, in the light of the many facets of SoulCollage®. And books… well, say no more! I am a voracious reader, and really enjoy sharing my favorites and my finds with you in this genre as well. It’s true that each of the resources included in this e-book have appeared in a previous issue of Soul Treasures already. My hope in compiling them into this one volume is that you can keep it on your shelf or in your computer as a permanent colossal SoulCollage® reference. Several of the categories overlap, so please be sure to look at all of your favorites! Thank you so much for your interest in our KaleidoSoul e-books. May these books and movies serve to enhance your SoulCollage® practice for many years to come. Peace, joy and blessings, Anne Marie Bennett Beverly, MA December 2010 P.S.

This absolutely yummy book feels "just right" in my hands and every page has one simple idea/activity that will keep you energized and motivated all year long. Some of the activities are physical, and some are more mind-oriented, but all are designed to boost your energy level as well as your morale. Body Prayers: Finding Body Peace , by Rebecca Ruggles Radcliffe. Subtitled, "A Journey of Self-Acceptance," this slim volume will help you on your own journey of self-acceptance. Includes a section of short daily readings, as well as many prayers, poems and affirmations on the topic of making peace with our bodies. Divining the Body , by Jan Phillips. Beautifully written and presented, by the author of the book Marry Your Muse. I'm slowly reading and savoring this book, which promises to help you "reclaim the holiness of your physical self." There's a chapter on each part of the body, including: feet, legs, hand, generative organs, belly, heart, breasts, throat, ears, eyes, and brain. Also each chapter includes practical exercises and meditations to bring that part of the body into our consciousness more fully and with sacred reverence. This book is really helping me on my journey towards self-love and self-acceptance. Eating the Moment , by Pavel Somov, Ph.D. Quick, enjoyable to read, full of creative exercises and insightful text. Learn original exercises to help you learn about your palates and manage your appetites. Feeding the Hungry Heart , by Geneen Roth. This is the first Geneen Roth book I ever read and it holds a place of honor on my own bookshelf. She talks about compulsive eating in a way that is completely honest and believable. Her work offers solutions for those of us who struggle with this on a daily basis. 6 Resources for SoulCollagers: Books & Movies from KaleidoSoul.com Fit From Within , by Victoria Moran. Through personal experience, the author has found that maintaining weight loss is more about honesty and courage than counting carbs. In this book she presents a body-mind-spirit approach to losing weight, showing how to find self-acceptance and break the blame cycle that surrounds "forbidden foods." Start living your life today with this beautiful book. A Grateful Heart , edited by M. Ryan. Daily blessings for the evening meal, from Buddha to the Beatles. I've never seen a book of meal blessings like this one, but I love it dearly and have used mine well. The Healing Secrets of Food , by Deborah Kesten. A Practical Guide for Nourishing Body, Mind, and Soul. Did you know that most cultures have a sacred, spiritual regard toward eating? It seems that many of us (myself included) have forgotten this vital connection in our daily busy-ness and struggles. Deborah’s book brings us back to the serious belief that our food is not simply physical things but substances that are intimately connected with our mind and consciousness. Healthy Living From The Inside Out: Every Woman's Guide to Real Beauty, Renewed Energy, and a Radiant Life , by Mariel Hemingway. I heard this book mentioned on a talk show and immediately checked it out of the library. Just a few pages in, I ordered myself my own copy. Hemingway focuses on four main themes to renew our inner and outer lives: food, movement, silence, and home. It is immensely readable, and more important than that, it is immensely practical and do-able. Also available on CD . The Intuitive Healer , by Marcia Emery, PhD. Subtitled Accessing Your Inner Physician , this book shows us how to unlock our inner powers of health and healing by harnessing the wisdom of our intuition. Forward by Carolyn Myss. Life Without Ed , by Jenni Schaefer. Absolutely riveting. I highly recommend this if you have an eating disorder of any kind. Jenni learns to treat her eating disorder (Ed) as a relationship instead of a condition, which enables her to "break up" with Ed once for and all. This book is highly readable because it is written in very short chapters, each one an essay about how she learned to divorce her eating disorder. Also, if you visit this page , you can listen to two songs that Jenni wrote about this topic: It's Okay to Be Happy and Life Without Ed. 7 Resources for SoulCollagers: Books & Movies from KaleidoSoul.com Living Beauty , by Bobbi Brown. Finally, a book on how to look beautiful, written specifically for women over 40! With beautiful photos and helpful information about make-up, moisturizers and more. Also wonderful words of wisdom from older women we know and admire for their commitment to letting their INNER beauty inform their OUTER beauty: Susan Sarandon, Vera Wang, Lorraine Bracco, Rita Wilson, and many more. Praying with Body and Soul , by Jane E. Vennard. Subtitled, A Way to Intimacy with God , this book is all of that and so much more. Includes chapters such as: Praying When Our Bodies Betray Us… Humor, Laughter and Playful Prayer… Praying with our Imaginations… Our Many Selves Guide Us in Prayer… Action Prayers: Work, Service, Justice and Care of the Earth. Spirit in Action , by Irene Lamberti. Subtitle: Moving Meditations for Peace, Insight, and Personal Power . Contains photos with easy-to-follow, step-by-step movements that illustrate an exciting new kind of mind-body practice: moving meditations that give added physical power to our prayers. The author is a chiropractor and a teacher of workshops on embodied prayer. She draws on ancient, universal principles of sacred dance to create exercises that promote awareness and divine connections. Weight Wisdom: Affirmations to Free You From Food and Body Concerns , by Kathleen Burns Kingsbury and Mary Ellen Williams. I found this book invaluable in helping me to change my relationship with food, and on the journey of accepting (and loving!) my body exactly as it is. The Woman’s Belly Book , by Lisa Sarasohn. Finding Your True Center for More Energy, Confidence, and Pleasure.
