This book takes you on an adventure of personal development through the detective work of Creative Kinesiology.  Muscle testing gives us the powerful tool we need to delve into any problem. It allows the body to show us what is going on physically, emotionally and in our feelings, with the mind and the spiritual self. Using maps of the body, subtle energies and clues to the problem gives the tracker the direction of healing.  Working creatively with the person and their intent for healing gives us all we need for healing and inner work to begin and continue. We look at the way the latest discoveries from the scientific world add new perspectives on the way the body systems work – or don’t.  Plumbing the depths of our being takes us to the reasons for our stress and anxiety – the traumas, large and small that can create problems in any part of us, including the digestive system, the brain and the nervous system. We may have lost our ability to look forward and reach for our visions and dreams. Help is there for us; in the exercises and techniques we can use for ourselves; some are introduced in the book.  Increasing our awareness of the body’s messages can give us the healing impetus to help ourselves and can take us to practitioners, both in the natural health world and in the medical profession.


Discover this gentle and powerful approach to healing and health for yourself as you read the book – a healing journey in itself.



Excerpt from the Book


We all have at least 42 muscles that we can test when we are gathering information in a Creative ~Kinesiology session.  Each muscle test gives us masses of data. We can also use an indicator muscle to glean additional information.  Muscle testing responds to thoughts, memories and information with a binary Yes/No response.  Given that every part of us is connected to every other part, we can choose any muscle to do this for us.

The indicator muscle can be any muscle in the body.  The body simply has to decide that this particular muscle can do the job of indicating a positive or negative to us, a Yes or a No, as such an agreement or a disagreement. Once we have this decision, we can make statements and discover whether the body responds with a Yes or No to them. When touching a painful area, we can check the indicator muscle and see if the body says Yes, it’s okay.  Or, when we monitor our indicator we find a No, it’s not okay, and the muscle unlocks. This way of working gives us a response we call switched-on, where the muscle holds its position or a switched-off response, where the muscle cannot hold in place. This is the simplicity and the complexity of muscle testing. It is both the science and the art of this approach, which when used with expertise is the brilliant tool we use in kinesiology.

Victory can only come by letting go

It is with a life centered on our Lord that we can be Healed through the Power of Love. Amidst the trials, tribulations, and storms we experience with family, relationships, and friends, the Lord guides us if we surrender to His will, His purpose, and His plan for our lives.

Yasmin is estranged from her family and has a secret she has vowed to never reveal. With her heart scarred and filled with remorse and fear, she finds trusting, letting go, forgiving, and accepting the Lord's will a challenge. Orlando's life is mundane until Yasmin returns. His goal becomes helping Yasmin, convincing her to love and be loved, showing her how to be happy, and persuading her to overlook her past. Neither Yasmin nor Orlando can obtain victory without letting the Lord take control of their lives.

New Release Blitz: Scarlett's Web by Bree McKennedy #promo #giveaway #newadult #romance #rabtbooktours @RABTBooktours
10:00 PM0 Comments

 

 

New Adult Romance

Date Published 05-03-2021

  

Scarlett Camden met her Prince Charming-Harvard bound, Michael, the first week of her sophomore year. Her life went from less than mediocre to something resembling epic. With her new best friend, Jade's help, she managed to transform from the quiet girl no one remembered to the most-envied girl at their private school, Philips Kimball Academy. But things took unexpected turns.

Looks were more than deceiving. Life became unpredictable and unchangeable.

What happened behind closed doors and away from intrusive eyes was anything but the fairytale everyone assumed she was living.

Years later, her past collides with her present life. Once again, her world gets thrown into a whirlwind filled with painful memories, unforgivable crimes of lust, and the loss of hope. Devastation and regrets.

This is the story of first love and loss. Lies and lust weaved into a web too big to escape.

Will Scarlett's web of lies keep her terminally trapped by her committed sins when she was practically a child, or will forgiveness grant her a happy ever ending filled?

Broke, homeless, and miserable. Three words that LaToya had become all to familiar with. She never imagined becoming a college drop out, but her worst fears had, sadly, become her reality as she watched her friends graduate and excel in their careers. Ready to end this nightmare, she takes matters into her own hands as an exotic dancer at Dreamville, Atlanta’s biggest entertainment club. One of the veteran dancers quickly takes her under her wing and introduces her to a new, riveting world with friends that aren’t as judgmental as her old crew. In this underground world, she is crowned Queen by a young King. Falling in love with the man of her dreams, making more money than she ever imagined, and being portrayed as a local celebrity had Latoya feeling like she was on top of the world. But the road to the top isn’t always paved in gold. She rubs shoulders with the wrong people, and her attempt to prosper and thrive turns into a prayer to just stay alive.

Christian devotionals, Christian Bible studies

Date Published: February 15, 2022

Publisher: Clay Bridges Press


photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

 

Life today is scary, complicated, and hard to get right. So much conflicting information is at our fingertips, and society shows the results of everyone choosing their own version of "good."

This year-long daily devotional doesn't just talk about God; it takes us directly to God and His inspired words in the Bible. Many think the Bible is archaic and out of touch with life today. But you will discover in these devotionals that the Bible is a great read, full of real people in real time navigating real situations.

The Bible uncovers God's heart for us. He has given us tools and strength for our lives today. The Bible reveals God's patience and perspective. Most importantly, it leads us to Jesus, God's Son, and the plan that reconciled broken, imperfect people to God. Because Jesus paid the penalty for our wrong choices, we can live confidently-loved, empowered, and forgiven by God. Life today is scary, complicated, and hard to get right. So much conflicting information is at our fingertips, and society shows the results of everyone choosing their own version of "good."




Interview

What is the hardest part of writing your books?

Carving out huge chunks of time to study and write. When I first started writing, I worked full time and had two of my three kids still at home.

 

What songs are most played on your Ipod?

Christian Music - Mercy Me, Amy Grant, Lauren Daigle, Crowder, Praise & Worship. Secular Music – 70’s and some late 60’s music, James Blunt, Bruno Mars.

 

 

Do you have critique partners or beta readers?

I belonged to a writer’s group, which was encouraging and constructive. I also had a couple of friends and my sister who read and critiqued as I was writing.

 

 

What book are you reading now?

I’m re-reading “Extreme Ownership” by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin (I read books my kids recommend and we discuss them), “The Singer” by Calvin Miller, and “We Were Soldiers Once & Young” by Joseph L. Galloway. I just finished for the third time “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr - Amazing!



 

 

How did you start your writing career?

I just fell into it. My Bible study leader asked me to do a Christmas devotional and everyone loved it. Then I was asked to write a Bible study and plays for the children’s Vacation Bible School, which led to me writing two plays for adults, “The Living Supper,” where Leonardo Davinci’s Last Supper came alive. Make-up artists from the Pageant of the Masters did the make-up, so it ended up being an incredible experience! Someone saw the play and asked me to write a devotional for a private foster home. God’s fingerprints are all over my process!

 

 

Tell us about your next release.

Well, I don’t have an answer for you on this one. This is my first publish and I’m trying to just be present in it all. But I have been getting little inspirational tingles for a “next” devotional!
