Being in a Body - Victoria Pendragon

. .

Résumé :
Being in a Body is a kind of an owner's guide to your body except for the fact that we don't actually own our bodies; we're just along for the ride... so perhaps it's a bit more like driving instructions for the elegant and finely tuned vehicle the human body is. In addition, the book functions as a maintenance guide for aspects of your being that - like the cellular intelligence of your body - one doesn't generally learn much about that in the usually very practically-oriented process of growing up. Being in a Body also addresses your relationship with your body, how to make the most of it, and how to establish it if you don't already have one. We are, all of us, as a song once said, spirits in the material world, so the book addresses that aspect of life as well because it's necessary. Your spirit is in its own relationship with your body; your waking consciousness - your mind - is available to assist in all this diplomacy but, as a rule, it usually requires some training, You'll learn why that is and how to do it. The bottom line is that this is a book on wellness, from the invisible to the palpable aspects of your multi-faceted Self--

Biographie:
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.
