Breathe. See. Nourish. Energize: A Pathway to Healing

By Frances Murchison

Drawing on scripture as well as holistic health practices, this practical guide blends the growing interest in spirituality and health with the examples set by Jesus, who encouraged his followers to embrace a life marked by physical healing, emotional wholeness, and spiritual abundance-moving people from physical pain to enlightenment and spiritual revelation. The book offers the four key principles-breathe, see, nourish and energize-as a daily living practice for readers to begin nurturing themselves both from the outside in, and the inside out. The book also offers techniques to help readers apply these principles in their dayto- day lives. A chapter is devoted to each of the four disciplines within the title. Each chapter describes the practice, placing it firmly and logically within the context of scripture. Throughout the discourse, the author shares stories of how people have encountered, struggled, and succeeded with the different elements of each practice. She also demonstrates how this overall process can lead to physical, mental, and spiritual transformation. Spiritual exercises, along with scripture passages, provide handy encouragement for readers to begin readily incorporating these disciplines into their lives.

Thank you, Frances

This book offers a wonderful combination of theological reflection and practical guidance that has led me to new and healthier approaches to daily living. I'm forever grateful to Frances, its author, and commend this accessible and engaging book to any who wish to move forward in the journey with grace and wholeness.

This 4-step process works. It really does.

Well written with a gentle ease and guiding light, Frances offers her life experiences up with a practical guide for living life on life's terms. Oh, yeah, and the process she so generously gives us works. In the short term and long. A breath of fresh air. See, I'm already starting to feel more connected. Hopefully, this book will be the first of many more to come.

A Real Inspiration

Breathe. See. Nourish. Energize. is a comprehensive book on how we can enhance our lives with a few simple adjustments. Incorporating meditation, nutrition and spirituality, the author shows us how to use these three disciplines to complement and support one another, and to help us attain wholeness in our lives. Through her own personal and professional experiences and a variety of suggested exercises, she shows us how to find our own "pathway to healing." A well written, useful and easy-to-follow guide I am giving to all my friends!

inspiring and accessible...

This book is inspiring and accessible. The author offers both wisdom and personal experience to motivate and encourage change and transformation in day to day life. The book has a nice flow, laying out a wellness program that feels doable as a practice in my life. I highly recommend this book to individuals who are looking for guidance in making changes in their lives, caring for themselves as a whole, balanced person. It's a great tool for groups to use as a guide to begin a wellness practice together. I found the exercises particularly helpful.

Lovely, Caring book

The author knows about addiction and healing but does not dwell on the grim details. Loving yourself and finding your path back to health is the focus of this book. Seems like a short read, but there is a lot packed in the book. We are reading it at church for a women's group and loving it!! Highly recommended.
