Living From the Inside Out

Claire Smedley

At some stage, many of us face a moment of reflection, looking in the mirror and wondering what happened to the carefree, dream-filled child we once were. It's common to question whether it's too late to pursue those dreams that once sparked such joy in our hearts.

Living from the Inside Out poses a crucial question: Do you see life as something that happens to you, or do you believe that you actively shape your own destiny? This book challenges the belief that we are mere victims of circumstance, presenting an empowering perspective. It delves into the age-old quest to understand the extent of our influence over our lives. Are we reactors to what life throws at us, or creators of our own path? Interestingly, these roles are composed of the same letters, just arranged differently. This metaphor serves as a reminder that we have the power to rearrange our perception of ourselves and the world around us, thereby actively creating our lives from the inside out, breathing life into dormant dreams, and moving beyond stress and dissatisfaction.

I introduce readers to the Kosha Roadmap, an ancient yogic model for living a fulfilling life. With my two decades of experience, I revitalize this ancient wisdom, giving it a contemporary twist that is accessible to everyone. This book promises to transform your understanding of yourself and your life, serving as a guide to lasting happiness.

Available in paperback and e-book format at Waterstones, Barnes & Noble, Austin Macauley Publishers, Amazon UK, and Amazon USA

Nutrition - New Story - New You: Cookbook (e-book)

Claire Smedley and Sue Persad-Patel

£8.95

Through your food and lifestyle choices, you can have the most powerful and positive impact on your health and well being. The Autoimmune Paleo (AIP) diet has been shown time and time again to reduce inflammation, heal a leaky gut and reduce the common symptoms of autoimmune diseases such as fatigue, pain, mood changes, stubborn weight gain, and skin irritations. With inflammation now implicated in many chronic illnesses, most people can benefit from eating this way.

Any change in diet comes with obstacles and potential pitfalls. This book not only helps you navigate and avoid the common pitfalls we have seen when implementing the AIP approach to eating, it’s packed with delicious anti-inflammatory dishes the whole family will enjoy.

The aim of this book is to set you up for long-term success as you make the transition to a health-promoting way of eating and a whole new you, answering the common questions:

· Is eating this way going to take all day to prepare?

· What am I going to eat for breakfast?

· Will all my food be bland and boring now?

· Will I ever be able to eat with friends and family again?

· When I reach my health goals, will I slip back into old ways?

Following my own recovery from Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and lifelong irritable bowel syndrome, I refocused my career to help other women who felt frustrated and dis-empowered by their autoimmune diseases. I help women fulfill their potential, not only in their health, but in life.

My co-author, Sue, struggled with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for many years. After feeling the incredible benefits by eating the AIP way she rediscovered her creative flair. She loves creating new AIP recipes and hopes to inspire others with autoimmune diseases to nourish themselves and cook exciting and mouth-watering AIP dishes, helping to positively change their lives.

The paperback is available from Amazon worldwide. The UK link is here.

ABOUT ME ~ CLAIRE SMEDLEY


I've been a teacher, trainer, coach and author in the wellness industry for nearly 25 years.

My decades long pursuit of understanding the human condition has incorporated science, yoga, yoga philosophy, yoga nidra - the art of deep rest whilst awake, subconscious journeying, trauma-informed breathwork, dismantling beliefs and nutrition. But at the end of the day, fulfilment comes down to living a life of joy and meaning.

I published my first book,

Nutrition~New Story~New You: Cookbook

as a guide for people, like myself, wanting to manage an autoimmune disease naturally, using food as medicine.

My second book,

Living From the Inside Out

is a return to the ancient yogic wisdom of healing a person by addressing all 5 of their layers: the joy layer, the subconscious mind, the thinking mind, the emotions and the physical body. They work together.

Living From the Inside Out is the foundation of my coaching approach and my life.
