The Joy of Health deals with the body as physical matter and the inter- relationship of the body and mind. We cannot separate the spirit from the body and mind, since we are born as integrated beings and it is our soul and spirit that instill our motivation for life and living. But the important place to begin in understanding ourself is in the part of self that we relate to in this moment of our existence. Putting the physical self in perspective is the goal of Kathy Oddenino's first book. This is not a technical book about health but a spiritual concept of integration and its influences on the practicality of living. The contents will not necessarily agree with scientific material but it is truth from a higher level of understanding. If you are ready for it, it will automatically read as truth to you. The focus of The Joy of Health is to trigger awareness in our minds about what health is and the joy that is found in understanding what health truly means as human beings on earth. Health is not simply one issue but many issues with individual impact on the three integrates of the human body, which are spirit, soul mind, and physical body. It is impossible to maintain health of one integral without maintaining health of the other two.

Bridges of Consciousness

Religion & Spirituality

Healing Ourself was written to reveal the true story of our soul growth from the beginning of our creation as spirit consciousness. We are completing the last one-hundred-year cycle of time before we can rend our veil of beliefs and leave our cosmic shell. In having an awareness of the path that we have walked as souls we can see the beauty and magnificence of our life and realize that we have the power to create a heaven on Earth. 
As we search for an answer to the health of our own body and the health of society, we must look internal to ourself and not external to the multiple diseases that are rife upon Earth. The true definition of alernative medicine will be found when we change our external perception of disease to an internal perception of disease. In our internal understanding of disease we can cure any disease that we can create without relying upon drugs, radiation, and surgery. We are seeking to balance our mind, body, and spirit as a whole organism of equal power, strength, and courage.

Stress Management

Millions of people live with depression as a daily reality without understanding what is happening within them. If you are conscious of depression you are trying as a dual soul to transition out of old beliefs and fearful emotions into a new mental understanding and loving emotions. It is through the knowledge of our own invisible energy fields that we have the power to heal depression and disease. This "soul approach" explains why depression is normal and what it means to you as a transitioning consciousness.

The Journey Home is an invitation to change. In her seventh book, internationally acclaimed author, teacher, and counselor Kathy Oddenino invites readers to embrace a new way of thinking about and understanding themselves. Kathy puts the responsibility for turning the chaos of our world squarely on our shoulders. With an insight into human behavior that spans lifetimes, she gently prods readers to move out of their safety zones, to let go of the rope, to jump off the merry-go-round of habitual thought and behavior and opt for a free fall instead. 
Oh, how beautiful life's journey then becomes! Untethered by a fear of the unknown, travelers are free to question and explore. They discover that the answers lie within themselves rather than "out there" in the world around them. They come to realize with unmistakable clarity that the 'unknown' they have avoided for so long is love. 
Throughout her 548-page book, Kathy shares the intimate insights and experiences of her life as a nurse, teacher, counselor, and mother. Having overcome several life-threatening illnesses and having helped thousands of terminally ill patients confront their own, Kathy is convinced the rest of humanity can do the same. The price of recovery? A change in our thinking, emotions, and feelings. "Our society, as a whole, focuses upon the fear of disease which escalates the creation of disease. As individuals and as a society we have developed a disease consciousness instead of a health consciousness. We believe we are destined to be sick, not healthy .... An understanding of ourselves and the power that is contained within us must be reached before people will be wiling to change their definition of disease, its cause, and its cure." 
Understanding both our visible and invisible makeup is a key to our total well-being. Kathy views the human soul, spirit, and body as an interdependent "trinity of consciousness." We are a part of the creator who has given us multiple lifetimes to reach the perfection to which we are called. "Life is designed by our sou and spirit as our moment-by-moment opportunity to expand our consciousness." 
Holding ourselves accountable for our choices instead of expecting the medical community or our reilgious institutions to save us is a sign of progress. Our evolution as a spirit consciousness requirs us to re-examine the religious "beliefs" that we have long considered to be "fact." Such beliefs are often "dependent, unequal, deceitful, fearful, and they have removed our soul from an understanding of the personal responsibility for its own journey .... It is the uncommon person who has the strength and courage to be reflective beyond the ordinary and accepted beliefs and behaviors of the cultural system in which each life begins." 
It has taken Kathy multiple lifetimes to reach her heightened level of awareness. She shares her knowledge in the hope that it will prompt others to seek the self-understanding needed to build a better world. There are no accidents. Nothing happens by chance. In this book, Kathy takes the mystery out of personal, climatic, political and world events by examining the dynamic interplay of physical and spiritual forces at work in our daily lives. "If our life were perfect and change was unnecessary, we would already be living in a 'heaven on earth.' No one has to be a genuis to recognize that we are living our 'hell on earth' and that we have not yet become civilized as human beings. Civilized people do not believe that men and women are unequal, and they do not judge, abuse, cheat, and kill other people. 
The journey home for each of us is a journey back to our divine nature. It's the evolution of our immature soul of fear and judgement into our mature soul of love and compassion. Kathy likens the soul transformation to the endless hours Michelangelo spent creating his beloved David. "Our mature soul always sees the image of who we are in our dual male and female consciousness and it will continue guiding us through our physical experience until the perfection and beauty of our mature soul is revealed." After spending thousands of years learning the lessons of our physical world, we finally know what we don't want and we are ready to begin creating a better world, a world of independence, freedom, equality, truth, and love.
