Throughout her forty-five years as a registered nurse,
author Karen Eddings has seen up close how our traditional health care system has changed into a sick care system. Her mission, as well as that of many other advocates for reform discussed in this book, aims to bring health back in health care by emphasizing self-care through the body’s innate power to heal itself with nutrition, movement, self-awareness, sound, sleep and more. Self-care is health care.
Karen has dedicated much of her life to researching, experiencing, and teaching holistic nutrition, yoga, medical chi-gong, breath and mindfulness, iridology, reflexology, biofeedback, and sound as therapies for wellness. Karen’s passion for health and deep knowledge of healing shines through every topic. In her book, Karen explains how our minds and bodies are created to heal themselves through self-care, self-regulation, nourishing foods, emotional freedom, and movement. She shares how we can harness our mental and emotional health and the gut-brain connection through the healing power of sound, restorative sleep, mindfulness, and connections with the earth.
Aging is inevitable, but sickness and disease are not. The research, recipes, reflections, and exercises included inside provide you with the tools to both live and age well by nurturing a flexible relationship with your own physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
