A Year of Wellness: Reflecting on 2024’s Transformative Reads

"Our mission is twofold: First, we are committed to helping individuals live pain-free, energetically balanced lives, and fostering a deeper connection with their bodies."


As 2024 comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared through the pages of thought-provoking and transformative books. At Sol et Luna, we’re passionate about empowering our community to prioritize health and wellness, and this year’s blog series was a testament to that mission. Together, we explored six powerful books that touched on essential aspects of self-care, body awareness, and healing—each offering tools to improve our lives in profound ways.

We started the year with a focus on posture and the importance of carrying ourselves well. The book Unhunched provided practical insights into the connection between posture and health, teaching us how small daily adjustments can lead to big improvements in confidence, comfort, and overall wellness. The lessons were simple yet impactful, making it a must-read for anyone looking to move and live better.

In July, the spotlight was on hydration with The Water Secret by Dr. Howard Murad. This book challenged us to think beyond just drinking water, emphasizing cellular hydration and the role of water-rich foods in maintaining skin health and overall vitality. Dr. Murad’s science-backed strategies helped us understand how staying hydrated supports everything from energy levels to radiant skin, aligning beautifully with National Healthy Skin Month’s focus on nourishing ourselves from the inside out.

August was all about deep healing, featuring two transformative books: The Body Keeps the Score and It Didn’t Start With You. These reads provided a profound understanding of trauma’s impact on our lives, from the personal to the generational. They encouraged us to explore the mind-body connection and offered practical steps toward healing and breaking cycles of inherited pain. This month’s blog resonated deeply, reminding us of the importance of self-compassion and the power of addressing the root causes of our struggles.

As we transitioned into September, self-care took center stage with Self-Care for the Real World. This book brought a refreshing perspective on making self-care practical, accessible, and meaningful. It broke down the overwhelming concept of self-care into bite-sized, actionable steps, encouraging us to build routines that support our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It was a timely reminder that even small acts of self-kindness can lead to profound transformations.

In October, we embraced a holistic approach to wellness with The Self-Care Prescription. This guide helped us craft personalized self-care plans, focusing on the unique needs of our minds, bodies, and spirits. From mindfulness practices to physical activity, it offered tools to integrate self-care seamlessly into daily life. The book’s gentle and adaptable advice made it an ideal companion for those looking to prioritize themselves without guilt or pressure.

Finally, November wrapped up the year with BodyWise by Dr. Rachel Abrams, a guide to tuning into our body’s innate wisdom. This book emphasized the importance of listening to our bodies, understanding their signals, and making intentional changes to support lifelong health. Dr. Abrams’ approach to body intelligence tied together everything we learned this year, highlighting how interconnected every aspect of our well-being truly is.
