A Return to Love

If you have as hard a time reading A Course in Miracles as I do, then you will love A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson. She lays out all the important principles from the Course, and in a very easy to read manner. The most important thing I remember from her book, remember that it's actually from the Course, is that in order to changer things about yourself that you don't like, you must first love and accept who you already are. Along the same lines from what Tolle teaches about how you can't declare war on your body, i.e. cutting at it, chemotherapy or what have you, and find healing. So if you don't like your weight or lack of muscle definition, you must recognize that who you are is divine already, and that energy of love and acceptance creates a much more lasting change than any amount of berating yourself in front of a mirror will do.
