Marla explores a new understanding of spirituality as the relationship between body, mind and emotions which permits spiritual empowerment. She suggests that addictions, depression and other problems are symptoms of a broken relationship within the self. Marla discusses the disempowering effects of the traditional body-mind-spirit model of spirituality, as well as the negative effects of unhealthy religion, and shows how they contribute to the breakdown of the mental, emotional and physical relationship. Marla suggests steps and techniques for reclaiming spiritual empowerment, and effective treatment methods for guiding individuals and families into healthy spirituality.
