This is a great book and makes a terrific gift for anyone looking to improve their mental health...

The key to regaining control of you life.

If you suffer from stress, anxiety or depression this book is most definitely for you. Using simply, practical easy to use techniques Rose VanSickle shows how it is possible to regain control of your life. The book is easy to read and is obviously written from the heart through the eyes of experience.From the beginning book gives a message of supreme hope. Reading this book will teach you how to change unconscious thinking with conscious thoughts. You will learn " verbal tranquillisers", words to use as antidotes for fear and anger. It will show you the relationship between what you think and how you feel.The whole purpose of the book is to teach you how to feel and be more in control of the way you react. You may think, given the stress and strain of life today inner peace is not possible. This book will prove you wrong. It goes beyond teaching how to just cope with stress and strain by showing you how to eliminate the cause.Once you find inner peace you will feel better physically and mentally, you will have a sense of vitality. Life will take on a new lease you will experience Peace of Body Peace of Mind.Peace of Body Peace of Mind has definitely help me to improve my life and I thoroughly recommend it. For me one of the most powerful phrases is "Distressing but not dangerous". These words can enable you to regain control when fear, anxiety or panic starts to take hold. Frequently these words have helped me to avert a panic attack Those of you that have experienced such problems will understand the progression. You feel hot; your pulse starts to race. You start to wonder what's wrong, fear what will happen. Other methods, I have found, teach you at this point to tell yourself that "you are in control of your body". However, my mind says that, If you need to think that then YOU ARE NOT in control. Distressing but not dangerous however acknowledges that I don't feel right but reminds me that the way I feel is not dangerous to me. It's strange how once you realise that the situation is not dangerous how much easier it is to defuse it.It would not be possible to do this book justice in a short review; not possible to tell you how much help the book has been to me. I have read many books in an attempt to find my inner peace but this one stands out above the rest.

Peace of Body will elevate your mood and raise your spirits!

Rose Van Sickle's Peace of Body, Peace of Mind, is a practical guide to emotional health. The author admits that she has suffered from depression and anxiety and found a way to heal her own life. In her book she shares her journey back to health. While reading the book, it literally changes your mood.I have personally experienced the mood-changing power of this book. While traveling to San Antonio recently I felt fatigued and, as Ms. Van Sickle would say, experienced "lowered feelings" (a phrase she uses for depression.) Within minutes of reading Peace of Body, my mood changed! I cannot explain how a book can produce this result. My hunch is that it happens because the spoke directly to me, as someone who had once had my experience. Peace of Body ranks well with such works as Albert Ellis' New Guide to Rational Living. I recommend it enthusiastically.
