I love the work of Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes ( Author of “Women Who Run With the Wolves” and so many more ).
It was a vital part of my spiritual process and progress of , let´s say #initiation, or #ascension, #healing-work.
It was not only a good read, but a 1 year long spiritual healing journey to understand and heal the female aspects of the human (collective) soul.
If you are a man and you want to understand what intuition really is, or you want to learn about the psychology of #PostTraumaWork this book is a must for you.
“Dr. Estés unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, and stories, many from her own family, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. Through the stories and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine. ”
To get an idea how beautiful her writing really is, here an example:
Clarissa Pinkola Estes ~ Simple Prayer for Remembering The Motherlode
June 26, 2013
“We do not become healers.
We came as healers. We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become storytellers.
We came as carriers of the stories that
we and our ancestors actually lived. We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become artists. We came as artists. We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become writers.. dancers.. musicians.. helpers.. peacemakers. We came as such. We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not learn to love in this sense. We came as Love. We are Love. Some of us are still catching up to who we truly are.”
