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.
