Allow me to introduce myself and to list a few "credentials." My name is Lisa Bonnice, and I'm the author of a book called Shape Shifting--reclaiming YOUR perfect body, which is, in essence, the metaphysics of weight loss. In fact, Neale Donald Walsch wrote the foreword for me! I've worked as an award winning writer for MSNBC.com, I spent seven years on the road as a touring standup comedienne, and I currently host a weekly radio show and help listeners/readers to start up support groups in their area. I don't want you to think I'm just another weight loss author, because that's not the book's true essence. However, I did lose 50 pounds while writing it. To explain how, all I have to do is look at my “Before and After” pictures and recall what I felt like when each was taken. In the “Before” picture, I was completely miserable. I hated my job, I felt trapped, and every day was awful—even the anti-depressants I was taking didn’t help. Although I was smiling (sort of) in the picture, I was living a life of quiet desperation. It almost hurts to look at it, now. My "after" picture was taken last summer, after I made incredible changes in my life. I am now extremely happy, living a life of creativity, and feeling like I’ve found my soul’s purpose. That, in a nutshell, is how I lost the weight. I started to pay attention to what makes me feel happy and alive,

and took steps to begin living. Fifty pounds dropped off in the process, as a “by-the-way,” happy bonus. It just happens that my “soul’s purpose,” as I mentioned above, is to be a writer, radio show host and support group leader. I’m convinced that my reason for gaining the weight to begin with was so I would embark upon a journey that would take me to the depths of my soul and back, only to share what I’ve learned with anyone who wants to do the same. To that end, I wrote the books Shape Shifting—reclaiming YOUR perfect body and the Shape Shifters Workbook. I have created Shape Shifters Groups (including an online version), a support format to help readers apply what they learn in the book(s). The only requirement to attend a group is to read Shape Shifting first. I host a weekly show on BlogTalkRadio, where callers can share their stories and challenges, and learn more about Shape Shifting. I interview incredible guests like Neale Donald Walsch, Lynne McTaggart and Apollo astronaut

Edgar Mitchell, who each add another facet of insight into gaining a healthier and happier life through the science of spirituality. The show, like the groups, is intended to help “Shape Shifters” to stay focused on a new, healthier and happier way of thinking in a world that makes it difficult to do so. In essence, all I did was be true to myself and I lost weight. It was as easy ... and as difficult ... as that. I shifted my thoughts and, therefore, shifted my shape. I would love it if you would help me to spread the word about this service that I am offering to people everywhere who are still stuck in the misery of a life they don't wish to be living, in bodies that reflect their unhappiness.

“The lighthearted approach to weight and shape change found in this book feels so good to my soul. Life is in need of a little enlightenment, it seems to me. And by enlightenment I mean the lightening up of our approach to the challenges which face us ... So enjoy and embrace this spirit-centered approach to weight and shape change if weight and shape change is what you desire. I am impressed with what I see in this book. I love the nuance and the energy found here. Lisa Bonnice is a natural “enlightener.” So have fun with this book, and have fun as you approach what for so many other people seems like an arduous and difficult task. Let Lisa help you make it look easy.” Neale Donald Walsch—Author, Conversations With God

“Thank you for being a guest on our show … you were an awesome interview. It is not every day that we have a guest who truly inspires people. You are a living testimony that we can all live the lives we want! Thank you for inspiring and empowering us all to take the necessary steps to break through the barriers of fear, guilt and shame, to live for who we are and in turn we will live better, healthier lives.” Michelle Phillips—Co-host Studio 10, WTSP-TV, CBS, St. Petersburg, FL

“Here is an example of Shape Shifting: I think that I have been carrying such a "heavy load in my heart." And I have used that word before that I feel a heaviness in my heart, that now, allowing myself to cry and release it, the weight is coming off. I put on my pants, the ones that I wore the other night, which I thought were too tight. And guess what, they are now loose! Isn't that a miracle? That is a perfect example of how your Shape Shifting works. Just think of the ramifications of that. In one week's time! I was thinking about how I had just swallowed all my grief. And it struck me the idea of "swallowing" anything and how that would keep weight on. Also I have used the word "heavy" to describe my heart in talking about my divorce, my sister's death, and the deaths of both parents. So now I am regurgitating all of that grief. But, wow, what a revelation and at a very interesting time." Elizabeth Anne Hill—Author, Twin Souls: A Message of Hope for the New Millennium

“Lisa Bonnice is a compassionate healer committed to furthering spiritual awareness. She is also a loving and supportive guide to all of us who share that journey. In Shape Shifting, she illuminates the various spiritual and emotional issues that often surround weight problems, and provides empowering tools for healing them so that weight loss becomes permanent. I highly recommend it!” Larry Trivieri, Jr.—Senior Editor, Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide

“It's been a long time since I've wanted to devour a book as much as this insightful, entertaining and profound work by Lisa Bonnice. Shape Shifting is about the metaphysics of weight loss - but I would recommend it to anybody who wants to recreate or enhance their self-image in any way. From personal empowerment and spiritual insights to metaphysical laws explained with humor and empathy, Lisa explains why diets don't work and gives us the tools to achieve our weight loss goals with a change in thinking. For anyone who has ever struggled with dieting and body-image, this book is a must-read. Throw away your calorie counter and sit down with Shape Shifting - for a new outlook that will create a new you. You will find inspiration, guidance and smiles galore in this wonderful book, including specific empowerment tools, metaphysical laws to create the image that you want, and let's not forget the section on 'sex magic'. They never had homework like this in my day!” Zsuzsana Summer—Author, The Now Age

“I was very impressed with Lisa's professionalism. It was a piece of cake interview. She was well prepared and her answers were full and to the point. She was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, not at all nervous about being on the air. In addition, she was likable and funny, and her subject matter was very interesting. I'd love to have her on my show again!“ Shane Gentry—Host of Nekkid Monday WBZB 1090 AM

“Lisa Bonnice smartly shows how what we think shapes our bodies. She's passionate and practical about guiding people through a mind shift - to first of all accept their bodies lovingly and then envision with confidence their bodies changing into a more comfortable size. She's such a great encourager that it would be hard not to succeed by following her plan toward weight loss and toward a whole new appreciation for your body. As the author of The Secret Wisdom of a Woman's Body, I'm very pleased to recommend this book as a great resource to support women, in particular, in appreciating and making friends with their bodies.” Pat Samples—Author, The Secret Wisdom of a Woman's Body

“With sharp, observant wit Lisa takes the reader through their own energy patterns; be they doubts, fears, coping mechanisms ... what have you, into the knowledge that they are not alone and that they are stronger than the worst they can imagine. Lisa gives us permission to be real-human-people, warts and all, while we choose how we will shift our shapes and what reality we are moving into. Truly a gifted author, truly an empowering book!” Curtis Folts—Psychic and Radio Show Host

I am truly very grateful to you. I've been working with the Law of Attraction for some time now but your book has really opened my eyes to how I can make it work for me regarding my health and why I might be holding onto my weight so much. Your personal stories have been the most eye opening for me as I related to several of them, in areas I had never considered before (i.e. the feminist issue). I can't wait to finish the rest and

get that healthy body! Sharon

Thank you so much. I just wanted you to know that you are inspiring people that you don't even know. But you probably already knew that. You are a gifted Lightworker and I feel very grateful to you. P.S. Loved your radio show,

video and your personality. VERY infectious. You remind me of a dark haired Doreen virtue. Gina

I've been looking for this kind of information and it found me. Lucinda

I love your radio show. I've been listening and really enjoying the subject matters. Sheila

Thank you for sharing your valuable and healing knowledge with so many others. May you touch many lives! Benny, University of Metaphysical Sciences

I love your message. The only way to be at peace within yourself, and to feel comfortable in your own skin is to love yourself. It is the best gift you can give to yourself, your family, friends & the world. Stacy

I started to read your book and WOW!!! I can't even BEGIN to tell you how much I can relate to this. It's EXACTLY

what I asked my angels to help me with and here you are. I can't wait to finish reading it! :) Namaste! Angie

If you haven't read Lisa's book yet, please stop everything you are doing and GET IT! Donny (my husband) and I have been reading it together and it is FANTASTIC! It has changed our thought process as much as Conversations With God did/does! It is much more than just about weight loss. I am going to get more copies to give out to

friends. It will truly open your psyche to get rid of extra baggage. Vickie

My latest project is creating abundance and creating my physique as I feel it in my mind's eye. I found your book at my friend's metaphysical shop yesterday and it has been the manifestation of my desire to be able to get out of the hating myself prison that I have created. THANK YOU for being you and for writing this book. It is

wonderful!! Jen

I feel like I know you. I betcha you get that a lot with your 'friend across the kitchen table over a cup of tea' kind of delivery... You've done something great for all goddesses whose time has come to buck up and get off of the perpetual treadmill of

self hate. Thank you for providing many a light bulb moment. Lalita

Coming across your book, I feel was an answered emphatic prayer of mine that was

sent my way from Divine. Linda

I am really enjoying your book. At first I thought it would be very similar to another book I've read on metaphysical weight loss ... but I am finding yours much more enlightening. I am an avid student of the Law of Attraction, have been for many years, so the basic concepts aren't new to me but I'm finding that you have really great insight in putting them together with your chosen topic. I'm going to work at applying the principles in your book, which I think is the kick in the pants that I was looking for. I also realize that I have to make some important decisions in my life regarding relationships that are not

healthy for me as well. Thank you for that. Marilyn

Based on the book and radio show Shape Shifting--reclaiming your perfect body, Shape Shifters Groups are weekly gatherings of like-minded people who wish to combine metaphysical or spiritual thought (A.K.A. "The Secret" or the Law of Attraction) to their body shaping, weight losing/health gaining, self-esteem-raising efforts. We need witnesses. We need like-minded people who believe the same things we believe. Because we're surrounded by mainstream naysayers and Doubting Thomases, we have a hard time believing in ourselves, in our own power to create ourselves anew. Shape Shifters Groups help to alleviate the pain that comes with the lack of support on your spiritual journey. Sometimes, our friends and family blow off spiritual experiences as coincidence or imagination. Shape Shifters Groups are intended to support you on your journey by providing witnesses and feedback so that you can believe in yourself and in what the process is unfolding for you.

The Shape Shifters’ Group process is broken down into four components: Challenges, Intentions, Makeovers and

Triumphs, which are logged in a notebook, journal or your Shape Shifters Workbook or Shape Shifter’s Daily Diary.

• Challenges—things we’d like to change

• Intentions—positive statements of intent to conquer this week’s Challenges

• Triumphs—positive results we’ve seen from last week’s Challenges

• Makeovers—little things we do to make ourselves feel or look better The advantage in attending a group led by Lisa Bonnice is that her expertise is at your disposal. Lisa, who offers Intuitive Coaching, is able to feel into your energy blocks to help you to figure out how to get to the bottom of what’s keeping you from your most authentic self, and to turn that knowledge into power.

Lisa is also available for one-on-one Shape Shifting coaching/readings. Here are some rave reviews!

I just wanted to give a public thank you to Lisa. I had a coaching session today and it was great. I had several "a-ha" moments during our conversation. I think it's given me a great place to start - and I feel my energy has shifted already. Its a great feeling!! I'm so happy to have found Shape Shifting.

I was at a point where I knew the problem, but didn't know what to do or how to do it next, to actually change what was going on. Lisa helped me again.

I too had a coaching session with Lisa and it was wonderful. I would suggest to all to consider having one with her. When we get all caught up in our issues, it is a blessing to have someone like her that will listen and provide positive feedback. What it did for me was give me an opportunity to "turn off" the wheels that continually turn in my brain, like stepping back and looking at myself from an entire different perspective. It is no coincidence that we have found ourselves here at this time of our lives. When you cry out to the Universe, great things begin to happen!

OMG, I cannot BELIEVE how AMAZING our coaching session went today!!! I have not had an epiphany like this EVER! The information that is related seemed to be unraveling more and more as the day unfolds. I feel like a HUGE weight has been lifted off my shoulder! The problems I was dealing with didn't seem like they were stringed that far in the past. I didn't think that all the things my husband was dealing with were so intertwined with other things. You are amazing, I want you to know that from the bottom my heart that you are a goddess-send and I hope you keep doing what you are doing. You are helping so many people in so many ways! I look forward to our next session!! So, now that that is all cleared up, I can start being more positive and create new things! I cant wait until my husband gets home so I can share what I learned with him. : )
