Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Being in a Body is a kind of "owner's guide"—driving instructions for the elegant and finely tuned vehicle that is the human body. The book also functions as a sort of maintenance manual for aspects of your being that one doesn't generally learn much about growing up, such as the cellular intelligence of your body.

Being in a Body also addresses your relationship with your body—how to establish a relationship if you don't already have one, and how to make the most of it. We are all, as a song once said, "spirits in the material world," so the book addresses that aspect of life as well. Your spirit is in its own relationship with your body, and your waking consciousness—your mind—is available to assist in all this diplomacy. But it usually requires some training. This book will teach you why and will show you how to do it.

In essence, Being in a Body is a book on wellness, from the invisible to the palpable aspects of your multifaceted Self.

About the Author

Rev. Victoria Pendragon, DD, BFA, is an author, artist, and mentor. She is also a miracle and a medical anomaly, having survived two diseases considered both incurable and fatal. When she was very young, she experienced what some would call a "walk-in," event which probably served her well in dealing with being sexually trafficked and experiencing incest as a child. These physical assaults on her mind and body led to an early life fraught with uncontrollable promiscuity and eventually the loss of both her children to their birth father. Acquiring a debilitating disease (diffuse progressive systemic sclerosis) that turned her entire body into collagen and crippled her hands transformed her life. By the time the disease miraculously departed, she was a different person; her body restored to its former softness and her mind opened to a level of consciousness she had not known since she was a child. During the course of the disease, she had been told by many people that she was a healer; but she embraced that calling only after two very powerful angelic visits, becoming an ordained Interfaith minister and taking numerous certifications in various healing modalities.

Rev. Pendragon lives in the old hills of Appalachia, drawing, painting, writing, and serving as a mentor for those who seek her guidance.
