The Woman's Belly
Book is a blazing trail home to a woman's power, self-esteem, creativity,
sexual energy, self-love, and respect for one's own beauty.
Women long
for these very things! Brilliantly, Lisa opens the veils to secret women's mysteries,
to a place that every woman possesses but hardly dares to venture. In this literal
treasure book you are invited in a personal way to dive deep into the dark hidden
crevices towards places that perhaps had not occurred to you to look before, especially
if you ever buried your belly in shame.
Women, The Woman's Belly Book
bears some radical news! Our power lies in our belly! There are some risks as
we descend down. We run into many buried feelings. Yet Lisa will show you how
to honor your self here and be gentle with what surfaces. I believe that when
we as women love and source the power in our bellies, follow our gut knowing,
and refuse to diminish the very core of our lifeforce, we can radically break
old paradigms that are holding us back in today's world.
The Woman's
Belly Book is treasure map to finding and honoring the wisdom deep in you.
Let's go mining for truth down there! Are you ready? —ALisa
Starkweather, founder, Women's Belly and Womb Conference
The Woman's Belly
Book is a wonderful and soulful antidote to the cultural indoctrination into
body hatred experienced by contemporary women of all ages. Brainwashed to excessively
control, sculpt, and distrust our bodies, we desperately need new insights and
tools to begin to appreciate, honor, and nourish our core, essence and physical
being. Many other books inspire us to "talk the talk" of making peace with our
bodies, but The Woman's Belly Book shows us how to "walk the walk." Many
thanks to Lisa Sarasohn for sharing her wisdom, experience, and belly-power with
us. —Margo
Maine, PhD, Body Wars: Making Peace with Women's Bodies
The Woman's Belly
Book blends yoga, myth, playfulness, and practicality in the service of helping
women to sense their wisdom and power through the grounding practice of yoga.
Through exercises, poses, and story-telling, Lisa Sarasohn invites women to honor
the belly as a source of vitality and creativity. In an age when women receive
so many messages to restrict and reshape their bodies, it is refreshing to hear
Lisa encourage us to discover and celebrate the natural center of a woman's body.
This book is a rich resource for women recovering from eating disorders, especially
as they dare to open themselves to a fuller relationship to their body, their
wellspring of vitality, and their womanhood. —Sheila
Reindl, EdD, Sensing the Self: Women's Recovery from Bulimia
A
lovely, wise, and illuminating book that helps women celebrate our bodies and
our vital centers. A much-needed antidote to advertising that often makes women
anxious about our bodies in order to deliver us to the diet, cosmetics and fashion
industries. —Jean
Kilbourne, Can't Buy My Love: How Advertising Changes the Way We Think
and Feel
To
create health, you have to trust your gut. And to trust your gut, you've got to
reclaim the wisdom of your belly. The Woman's Belly Book shows you how.
—Christiane Northrup, MD, Women's
Bodies, Women's Wisdom
I
have always felt that a woman's belly is sexy, and a wonderful place to grab in
the midst of a giant belly laugh…. This book will help you accept not only
your belly but also all that it means. —Loretta
LaRoche, Life is Short, Wear Your Party Pants
This warm and friendly
book is filled with womb wisdom, belly laughs, gut feelings, and pelvic power.
It is, as subtitled, a guide to buried treasure. I recommend it highly. —Susun
Weed, New Menopausal Years the Wise Woman Way
In a culture obsessed
with tightening the abdomen, The Woman's Belly Book is a refreshing and
practical change of pace. Open it anywhere and practice the techniques Lisa suggests.
Not only will you feel better, but you will also have fun connecting with your
powerful belly and its innate wisdom. —Judith

life
This
charming, insightful, and informative book encourages women to embrace the center
of their bodies and celebrate the wisdom of their feminine nature. Truly a treasure!
—Anita Johnston, PhD, Eating in the
Light of the Moon
This
is very impressive, thoughtful, thorough, inspiring work. Having worked for many
years with women with eating disorders, I know this book will find many appreciative
readers in that audience. The material is very clear and accessible; I can't wait
to try some of the exercises. —Robinette
Kennedy, PhD
My
belly says "thank you" for this excellent resource. I have found these exercises
to be an effective way for women in recovery from an eating disorder to connect
mind, body and spirit. —Natalie Frost, Psychotherapist
The exercises in this
book touch the hearts and spirits of women in my treatment groups. Just the other
day, the energy level of the participants was very low. Practicing the power-centering
move, smiles—even laughter—occurred. The shift of energy was immediate
and dramatic, with comments like, "that felt good…let's do it again." —Brenda
Wilds, Activity Therapist
The book is beautiful.
I am teaching yoga to eating disordered women. I have found the belly work to
be so empowering for them. Thanks so much. —Deborah Moncur, RYT
The
Woman's Belly Book is for every woman who has ever stood in front of her mirror,
sucking in her belly, wishing to be different. Lisa teaches us how to cherish
the power center within us with a storehouse of exercises, modern science, and
wisdom from ancient cultures. —Lavinia
Plonka, What Are You Afraid Of? A body/mind guide to courageous living
The
book speaks with a voice that's good for me to absorb, having had issues with
my belly for most of my life. —Shiner
The book is an absolutely
fabulous and inspirational read. Loving our tummies is not so easy in this day
and age in our society, but now, thanks to your insight, I'm on the right track.
—Jill
