Conscious Movement of a Soul into Wholeness!
Our intention with this website is to share wisdom and insights that encourage and support conscious soul movement. In addition, there is specific information here about living well with rheumatoid arthritis. No matter what the affliction with which you are challenged, you will find support and options here. Whatever the "label" - rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, depression, divorce, sadness, you name it - remember, in healing, anything is possible even as nothing is certain.

| News item...InnerSelf Magazine published an article excerpted from Soul Aerobics - Conscious Movement of a Soul Into Wholeness entitled "Being Human is Awful" [Editor's Note: It's quite good actually. It's provocative, timely, and has a happy ending!] and is located at http://innerself.com/Creating_Realities/human_12052.htm. |

| Liberally sprinkled with alluring chapter snippets like "Listening is an Act of Love" and "Putting It on the Altar to Bleed," Semple offers convincing instruction to readers in search of a true and timeless "soul-physical" relationship, or, as the book's subtitle suggests, toward a "conscious movement of a soul to wholeness." Soul Aerobics is a gentle and fascinating account of Semple's personal discoveries and journey toward a loving heart, and readers who jump aboard for a ride indeed may find themselves headed for that very same destination as well. A lovely book to trust and enjoy. www.thebooxreview.com |
| Soul Aerobics takes readers straight to the heart of their own authentic power. Barbara's writing is deeply personal, at times lyrical, always uplifting and filled with compassion. I am both moved and educated in the process. This is a superb account of hope, healing and transformation. The great value of this book is that it is written by a woman who has faced extraordinary challenges and lived to enjoy greater strength, wisdom and love in the process. It's a roadmap for the healing journey by an author who knows the path well. Hal Zina Bennett, author of Write From the Heart and Spirit Animals and the Wheel of Life |
