Healing Power of the Sacred Woman Health Creativity & Fertility for the Soul by Christine R Page
Publisher Comments How to enhance well-being by reconnecting to sacred womanhood andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;andbull; Shares ways to embody the power, wisdom, and compassion of the Great Mother andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;andbull; Reveals a womanandrsquo;s purpose is to give birth not only to new life but also to new levels of consciousness andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;andbull; Shows how female illnesses represent a disconnection from our true identity as women andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;Four thousand years ago, women were seen as living representatives of the Great Mother, whose cyclical and potent energy gave birth to all existence. Today, this sacred awareness has been lost or distorted, causing a collective amnesia among women around the world. However, there is one symbol of the Great Motherandrsquo;s loving presence that has remained unchanged for tens of thousands of years: the physical body. Its curves, sensuality, softness, and monthly flow are constant reminders of this deep loving connection. When illness appears, especially within the breasts and fertility organs, a woman is being reminded to return to her pure and sacred identity, where death and birth are essential for growth and love flows without expectations. andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;Combining more than 30 yearsandrsquo; experience in health care with in-depth research into the history and mythology of the divine feminine, Christine R. Page, M.D., reveals that women are the foundation of the birth of new levels of consciousness, without which the evolution of humanity will become barren and dry. Yet, such birth can occur only when women have the courage to reject the beliefs and images of the feminine imposed upon them four thousand years ago and reclaim their true identity. Through a fascinating journey into the body, Dr. Page shows the importance of self-love and self-respect and explains how sex is a natural process of unification where women take the lead, similar to the ancient sacred priestesses. Dr. Page reminds women to reconnect to the potent and creative energy of Mother Earth, which gives power to the intuitive voice of the heart and nurtures new seeds of inspiration and enlightenment through the womb.
