Unique Approach

Considering the body our terrestrial companion in life helped me to see my body in a completely different way. I love Dr. Estes' way of storytelling and saying things that I can really identify with. The only other book by her that I've ready is Women Who Run With the Wolves, which I loved. I've downloaded several of her other books now and look forward to reading them.

Lovely!

This book is full of wonderful tales that assist the listener in remembering to be thankful for their physical being. It's not my most favorite by dr. Estes but still really wonderful

Joyful and Profound

Estes has a voice as soothing and full of wisdom as could be asked for. This series is a balm and a guide, invoking the wisdom of the body, soul and the mind through the recounting of many stories, both personal, folkloric, mythological and spiritual. Estes does a masterful job using Jungian influenced psychology irrevocably fused with story to provide a guide and a loving push towards loving the body and the self. You'll find eerily pertinent advice and comfort here.

Totalmente automotivador para la mujer actual

El motor que ayuda a que las mujeres que provienen de todo tipo de cultura, se autocuestionen sobre temas que, sin darse cuenta, han podido estar limitando su pleno potencial y felicidad. Un punto de partida para la autorealización de una mujer.
