Womb Wisdom & Pelvic Power
by Lisa Sarasohn
Couverture du livre When The Woman's Belly Book: Finding Your True Center for More Energy, Confidence, and Pleasure appeared many years ago, Susun gave it a rousing endorsement:

"This warm and friendly book is filled with womb wisdom, belly laughs, gut feelings, and pelvic power. It is a guide to buried treasure. I recommend it highly."

I was, and am still, so honored. Her books, including New Menopausal Years the Wise Woman Way, were a major inspiration as I was writing mine.


Now the book is available in its French edition, published by Éditions Trédaniel, Paris.


I'm going to France this summer to share the good news — we hold an enormous power for healing, in every dimension, within our body's center, within our bellies.

The book's French title means "become friends with your belly" or more simply, "befriend your belly." The subtitle refers to the practice of belly-energizing movement and breath: "5 minutes a day to connect with your source of energy."

If you've read The Woman's Belly Book, or worked with the Honoring Your Belly DVD, you know how the Source Energy concentrated within our body's center connects us with nature as a whole. As we honor and activate our body's center, we increase not only our creativity, intuition, and self-confidence but also our sense of kinship with all creation.

In addition to leading a workshop at Centre Tao in Paris, I'll be visiting bookstores and libraries to present readings.

The adventure, blessed by Susun's enthusiasm years ago, continues!

In upcoming posts I'll share the introduction I wrote (in English) to this new French edition. And I'll post notes of the journey through France this summer.

For now, if you or your friends read French, or are French, here's something for you: Anne Delmas, the splendid woman who translated The Woman's Belly Book, provides a fine description of the book's French incarnation here.

***************************************

My workshops flow from my quest for the Sacred Feminine blended with my experience practicing and teaching yoga.

I've been a Kripalu Yoga instructor since 1979. I've also trained as a yoga and bodywork therapist.

From 1981 to 1988, I served on staff at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Lenox, MA. During this time, I led yoga classes for thousands of guests, conducted a practice in bodywork therapy, designed workshops on many aspects of holistic health, and trained yoga teachers and bodyworkers.

In the course of my continuing yoga studies, I learned how cultures around the world have valued the body's center as sacred. Delving deeper into this subject revealed connections between the body's center and qualities of the soul, the extent of women's power in family and society, and the degree of a culture's reverence for Sacred Feminine.

    ( Learn More Here )

    This online course is the first part of an ongoing process through which you embody the Sacred Feminine by energizing your body's center with breath, image, story, and movement.

     



    (New World Library, 2006) presents what I've learned about the body's center through teaching and research over a period of nearly twenty years.
 
    My articles on honoring the body's center have appeared in publications including Yoga Journal, SageWoman, Radiance, and Personal Transformation. My workshops have been sponsored by colleges and universities, health education agencies, and holistic learning centers.

    My intention is to provide you an opportunity to delight in the vitality and pleasure, the creativity and confidence, the intuition and sense of purpose that already dwell within and emerge from your body's center. My greatest joy is to offer you ways to discover the Sacred Feminine as she already abides within you.
