A book recommendation from Amanda Duckstein, founder of Shadowbox Pilates:

Mind for All Matters

Becoming Supernatural by Dr. Joe Dispenza took me about a year to read because it's incredibly dense but profoundly impactful.

The author, a neuroscientist with chiropractic beginnings, explores how to transform energy in the body through specific meditation techniques and mind-body practices.

His approach to manifestation particularly resonated with me — combining clear intention with elevated emotions to create new energy.

The book's teachings about brain waves, the limbic system, and turning conscious thoughts into subconscious realities directly influenced my vision for Shadowbox.

I developed very specific mental images for what the studio would become based on Dr. Dispenza's principles, and it manifested itself exactly as I had envisioned.

Where to Find It

You can purchase it through Amazon or find it available at the studio alongside our other carefully selected wellness essentials.
