This little book about wellness focuses on how to be love: b—breathe, e—emotions, l—let go, o—open heart, v—visualize, and e—energize. The introduction focuses on the author herself, including her own issues of health concerns and a history of trauma. Part One explores traumas, both big and small, and how they take a toll on physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental levels and harm one’s growth. Understanding this can lead to forgiveness and examining purpose. Out of such trauma, one can also find gratitude and blessings. Part Two then focuses on “be. love.” and explores more in-depth each of the characteristics of each one of these aspects, such as breathing properly, examining emotions, letting go through forgiveness, opening one’s heart, visualizing mental imaging, and energizing through love. Each aspect also has a specific exercise associated with it.
This self-help book utilizes the author’s own process of growing and healing. The book offers simple ways to cope with how to grow in love and life. It is easy to follow and is a quick read with helpful exercises to complete that the reader may find beneficial to begin a path of healing.
