About the Book
Integrating the Feminine Spirit: Returning to the Womb of Creation is a model for healing through the feminine side of the soul. The purpose of this book is to outline a process whereby a person can understand and acquaint him or herself with an aspect of our awareness often neglected in our world today. Much of the emphasis in our world is on what a person can achieve without regard to how these achievements effect the world and the people living in these achievements. Integrating the Feminine Spirit is an attempt to give acknowledgment to the inner qualities of living that our outer world thrusts upon us.
Just think for a moment what a child does and says when he/she gets hurt. They want their mommy. Why is it that when we are hurt that we look to the feminine soul for give us strength and direction. On September 11, 2001, the first thing we did when New York City was bombed was to turn inside ourselves in prayer, for direction, and for hope beyond our external world being destroyed around us.
This inward look into a world that is with us throughout our life is a womb like state of being. Inside us is an incredible source of strength and energy capable of nurturing a dying person through death, help us rebuild what is destroyed in our external world, and transform the most drastic event into a presence of peace. Thus is the world of the feminine spirit.
