Spiritual Saturday: Book Review

Hey King's and Queen's,

It's Spiritual Saturday.  So each Saturday or Sunday there will be a new post from myself or my blog partner on a way to enhance, boost or add to your spiritual practice. I understand that not everyone has the same beliefs as myself of my blog partner but it doesn't hurt to learn something new and do your own research.

So obviously this post is going to be a book review.  A lot of us read the same books but don't get the same thing from them.  So this is going to my review and what I took from the book.

This weeks featured book is Strengthening Her Essence by Fila McMillan-Antoine. I found this book because she follows one of my Instagram accounts (@intellectual__badass). For a while I avoided buying the book purely because I didn't know how it would fit into my journey.  At the time I was just getting to learn more about Kemeticism and that was all I focused on, I didn't leave room for anything else. After months and months of seeing her post about the book and some other women commenting on how much it helped them, I finally bit the bullet and went to look for the book.  I hopped on Amazon and found it.  3 days later it arrived on my doorstep.  I carried it around with me for two additional days before I cracked it open while I was at work.

I can honestly say I devoured the book. Its short and gets to the point quickly. Fila helps you identify what type of woman you are and points out the issues in that character type.  She then lists what can be done to help with those issues and how you can heal yourself.  She also touches on sex and how its a sacred act and how you should only allow the energy of someone you want to be with to have your energy linked with .

What I loved about the book is that she leaves your entire self-healing book up to you.  In order to heal yourself, you have to want healing.  She doesn't hand you the exact path and tell you what to do.  She makes mention to some of the things she dealt with and suggests ways you can begin your own healing process. I hate being told what to do, so to have a book that is suggesting what I could be doing instead of telling me what to do made me enjoy this short book even more. 

I hope you pick this book up and share your experiences on what you took from it.
