The Body Revelation: Physical and Spiritual Practices to Metabolize Pain, Banish Shame, and Connect to God with Your Whole Self

Whether Big T trauma or little t trauma, most of us have experienced it at some point in our lives. I know I've had more than my share of both. For many years I suffered debilitating body pain, ongoing flu-like symptoms and ultimately a deep depression. When I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS, and told the cause was unknown, my need-to-know self began a deep dive into how the body processes pain and what can cause depression. My study brought me to the effects of trauma on the body and the brain. I thought I knew all I needed to about processing trauma so I actually only bought the book because I wanted to support Alisa and her non-profit organization Revelation Wellness. As an avid reader and lover of books I just couldn't own the book without reading it and I am soooooo happy I did. The Body Revelation book has taught me something that never came up in all of my research - the power of MOVING the body in processing trauma. But my biggest take away from reading Alisa's book was that I still carried feelings of shame, guilt and unworthiness from the things that had happened to me. This book has shown me that the only One who really matters see me in a much different light. Thank you Alisa from a Burning One ❤️‍🔥

You will need a highlighter!! There is so much goodness in this book! I can't wait to share it with others. Before reading it I didn't think it would really apply to me. I didn't have a traumatic childhood. I don't feel like I have "pain" from past trauma that I was holding in and needed to process. This book isn't just for those that have suffered Big T trauma it is for everyone! Learn how to seek God to process even daily stressors that can build up. Jesus said, "In this world you will have trouble, but take heart I have overcome the world." We will all face some kind of Stress/trouble but Jesus has over come that for us. We just have to let him. Alisa also says she wrote this book for our Children. She says " If we can teach our kids how to process Pain and Trouble they will be in great shape." We have to know how to process pain and trouble in order to teach our kids.

My first taste of health and wellness was training for fitness competitions. The more I experienced that world, the more I realized how flawed the general perception of the meaning of health and wellness was. As a Christian, I knew there had to be a better (more sane) way to take care of my body (as well as my mind and soul). Then I found Alisa Keeton and Revelation Wellness. This has been a game changer, and The Body Revelation book dives deeper into the science (and creation) behind our bodies and how they work the way they do and why we may act or think a certain way. This book will help you change your heart (not just your body) in a way that, I know, I needed more than I realized. Definitely a must read for anyone struggling with loving their body, needing healing from all kinds of pain, and craving a deeper connection to the God that created our bodies and loves us and knows us best.

With great delight, I recommend The Body Revelation to you. This is such a good word being released into the world! It is like a balm for the souls of the weary and heavy-hearted; incredibly good news for all who feel stuck in bodies that don’t seem like a good fit.This book delivers gentle guidance and wise counsel from a woman expertly schooled and trained in health and fitness, steeped in the Word of God, and relentless in pursuit of truth. Alisa Keeton speaks life into hard and hurting places, becoming your coach, teacher, counselor, and champion for the journey. Every chapter is an integrated personal teaching & training session for body, mind and spirit.Read it to learn how to metabolize pain, banish shame, and step into the reality for which you were originally designed: healthy, whole, and free.I’m so encouraged by my own experience, working through this book and engaging the Revelation Wellness community, that I’m launching a book club. It’s just too good not to share! After a chapter or two, you’ll find yourself considering others in your circle who need this, too. One book won’t be enough!

Incredible book! 5 stars!!!We’ve all had our own trials and suffering we’ve been through in life, and much of it is so hard to overcome without help. Whether from our own decisions, or from pain others have committed against us these scars are not going away on thier own. Through Christ we have the ability to conquer that pain with the hope found in Jesus, and we have victory through what He did for us on the cross.This book goes deep, doesn’t shy away from the truth of God’s word and Alisa shares practical ways to apply God’s word to the pain, showing you how to grow not just in knowledge but in truth and in love - and most importantly in relationship to God. All of this so we can live healthy and free, and in turn give His love away to the world.This isn’t a just a book to read, it’s a book that will be used to transform your heart and your life with included workouts for mind, body and soul!

From the very beginning of the first chapter, I could tell this book was special and that I needed to buckle up because I was about to embark on quite a journey. I was definitely right about that! Alisa led me step by step, stage by stage, through the process of acknowledging and expressing the pain I’ve experienced and getting unstuck from my unhealthy patterns to move forward empowered and free!! I loved the mixture of story and research, and I learned so much more about the body, the mind, energy, and trauma. One of my favorite parts of the book is the movement sessions and meditations that are included at the end of each chapter. They tie in beautifully with all that you’ve read in the chapter and give you a chance to walk out what you’re learning. PLEASE get a copy of this book for yourself and a friend, read it, and work through it together. Even better..connect with a Revelation Wellness instructor and go through it with them!

Such a great book, learning to process your pain in a healthy way. Losing the "weight" that weighs you down so you can walk in freedom spiritually, physically and mentally. Alisa does such a great job of communicating freedom, pointing you to Jesus and helping fully embody who God made you to be in your body he has already called good.

This book is a must have in the journey for understanding yourself, walking through healing from trauma in a gentle way and seeing yourself in the image you are created to be. Alisa brings together truth, reseach, life stories and experiences that allows the reader to move forward in an easy to understand format with guided audio, steps and so much more all included with the book. GET THE BOOK! You won't be disappointed.

Seriously. Don't second guess it. Just get it. Read it. Do it. And see the goodness God has for you.
