Up Your Journaling Game: Questions From Anatomy Of The Spirit

I’m all about self-help books — but it’s been awhile since I’ve read one that I’m HELL YES about [others include: The Four Agreements, A Return To Love, Essentialism, Book of Awakening, The Untethered Soul]. I had been hearing about Anatomy Of The Spirit a ton recently… ++ usually when I hear about a book multiple times, I take it as a sign that I need to read it.

My friend Tania had the book, so I borrowed it from her… but I think I want to purchase one for myself, it’s thatgood : ).

In brief — Anatomy Of The Spirit dives into research on energy medicine, + goes in depth on the seven chakras, including journaling prompts for each chakras.
