Wow! I would give this book 5+ stars if I could.

I now understand so much more about the pain and trauma I've been through and how it's affected my body and mind. I have better relationships with my husband, family and God and have rewritte

This is a really good book for women who are wanting to move forward in their faith, but also in their physical body. It was quite unexpected. I thought maybe it was just going be an exercise help book for Christian women. But she had insight into how our bodies are totally connected to our mind and our spirit. She teaches you how you should treasure the body that God has given you and how to release the pain of your past and also stress in your life as you exercise. She definitely stretch you out slowly and works you into learning how to get into a folder exercise routine without it, becoming

Alisa Keeton talks about her life story throughout this book. She gives us personal examples, in very relatable ways, of how God has led her to metabolize her own trauma. I love her writing style in that her wise words go right to my heart.This book has helped me process my own past trauma. At the end of each chapter, she shows us how to metabolize our pain using our mind, our mouth and moving our precious bodies. This is where the healing takes place. This is the gold. We store so much pain in our bodies that we need to release and this book shows us how.This is a book that I will pick up thr

Alisa Keeton's new book, The Body Revelation, is perfect for the time we are in right now.

She ends each chapter with a "Mind, Mouth, Move" section that allows you

I remember learning about “suppression” in a psychology class and using it artfully for memories that hurt. Turns out, “suppression” isn’t permanent healing, not when you’re a child of God who can go to THE Healer who loves to heal. Enter “The Body Revelation.” This book rocked my world in the best way possible - inviting me to walk through the suppressed memories and surrender them to my Father who can even make the scars look beautiful. Alisa has a gift for reminding us about our integrated faith and for giving us practical exercises that help us not just learn but do. I love the way the boo

Dislike— I bought it thinking I was going to get a book on how to nourish and change my body. Basically a new type of diet. That is NOT what this is!LIKE—Instead of just focusing on the physical body, Alisa works on your body, soul, and spirit. It is scientific fact that the way we process or don’t process life can alter our physical bodies. The ‘box it’ or ‘shove it’ away theory of pain and disappointment will eventually creep back in. By allowing healing to enter those spaces, it frees up our physical body to heal as well. What a gift!BONUS LIKE - each chapter comes with a guided reading/med
