The Wiccan Wellness Book: Natural Healthcare for Mind, Body, and Spirit

Rating:
Summary: Wellness in Mind, Body and Spirituality
Review: Laura Perry is a naturopath, teacher, shaman and Wiccan Priestess. Ms. Perry presents us with her idea of blending earth based spirituality with natural wholeness in this book.

While it is titled "Wiccan Wellness" it appears to be more general in its focus, an all around book of natural health and wellness and is more general in its spiritual aspects, which is a good thing and should have been emphasized rather than trying to limit it to Wicca. It would appeal to a broader base, and not limit itself in its scope.

But what deserves focus is this book's approach to good health, exercise, creating your own personal sacred spaces and living in a healthy atmosphere which you create for yourself. Create positive personal affirmations in the form of finding your own strengths. Develop a exercise program for yourself, plant some greenery (Magickal Green People), value your work and create a healthy work environment are some of the topics for personal development.

The book covers many topics like plant associations, feng shui, personal journaling, healthy surroundings, natural healthcare (and how to find it in your area), rites of wellness and so much more. Natural healthcare covers such topics as acupuncture and acupressure, aromatherapy, Ayurveda, the Alexander technique and other practices of health maintenance. There are lists of suppliers and further reading on much of the material.

The book blends the needs of the mind, body and spirit together to create a balance.

The chapters are laid out well and flow through the book and there is an index in the back of the book for quick reference.

This is a good beginner's book on personal health and care and blending it with earth based spirituality. The focus may say "Wiccan" but I think it could work for any one following an earth based spiritual path and is looking at developing a program of personal health and wellness.
