Such profound insight and beautiful story telling

Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes is a powerful and engaging story teller. She makes you think about your own body in another way. The body is sacred and your companion on this journey and she wonderfully paints a picture of the bodies purpose and needs. She also does a blessing for your body after many chapters. It was yummy. I didn't want to stop listening. If you are a woman and want to look at bodies in another way, please listen to her ancient wisdom.

Unprecedented! Delightful! Profound! Healing🧡

Dr. Estes has compiled many soul’s lifetimes of stories and wisdoms into a remarkable journey of coming home to one’s self, in a wholly un-mystical, raw, and completely unique and authentic fashion. I am profoundly grateful for her devotion to exposing the raw insides of the feminine- human understandings and for offering them to us with such care. Bless your beautiful soul Ms. Estes.

Profound, inspiring, deeply and delightfully Healing

Dr. Pinkola Estes is always great company. I and my family have such gratitude for the sharing of her unique and Jungian perspectives with compassion , passion ,humor depth, joy and wholeness.
She weaves science with personal and mythological story telling and unfolds the paths of wisdom and healing that they contain.
This book is beautiful ,inviting us to enter into a relationship with our bodies our consort , sacred other , sister , ally and friend.

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
