Constant Craving RGBConstant Craving
What Your Food Cravings Mean and How to Overcome Them

Doreen Virtue

Whether you love or dread the holidays, one thing is sure: there will be a lot of activity around food. Food is a wonderful thing—it nurtures and sustains us, often gives us pleasure, and often brings us together. But it can also be a weapon, a defense or an emotional support, all things that come into play with the heightened emotions and familial reconnections of the holidays. Doreen Virtue is known more for her interactions with angels, but here she is solidly grounded in her understanding of the relationship between food and emotional or spiritual hunger, and shares specific solutions. Chocolate lovers will be especially interested in her “Are You a Chocoholic?” quiz. This is a must-read if you are headed home for the holidays. (Hay House)

Life Visioning
A Transformative Process for Activating Your Unique Gifts and Highest Potential
Beckwith book
Michael Bernard Beckwith

Once again, Michael Bernard Beckwith, who has shared abundant spiritual wisdom through his ministry at the Culver City Agape International Spiritual Center, creates a more lasting form for his thoughts than an evanescent Sunday sermon. In this new print release he shares his life visioning process, encouraging each of us to vision and manifest our own true soul potential and, as he says, stand in our own yes. Beckwith gets down to brass tacks as he outlines the four stages of consciousness—victim, manifester, channel and being—and how we move through obstacles and take advantage of specific tools to achieve, accept and integrate our deepest life purpose. This practical handbook would be a great companion to a New Year’s resolution, or any first day of the rest of your life. (Sounds True)
