Духовни сестри: Петте свещени качества на женската душа

by Pythia Peay, Татяна Иванова (Translator)

Женската сила носи в себе си мощ и творчески дух... божествения принцип, силата да спасява и подкрепя.

Духовни сестри е едно необикновено пътешествие в необятната женска същност. Авторката - известна журналистка и писателка - разказва истории, наситени с духовната мъдрост, хумор и практически упражнения, чрез които всяка жена може да промени живота си и да го насити с радост, смисъл и любов. Пития Пий много задълбочено изследва и описва петте свещени качества на женската душа:
•Смелостта и куража да погледнем света в очите;
•Вярата в живота и доброто;
•Красотата, която носим и която създаваме;
•Любовта, чрез която опазваме живота на Земята;
•Магията и нейното женско лице.

"Достатъчно е да прочетете няколко страници от "Духовни сестри" и се случва нещо забележително. Тя се превръща в един от онези скъпи и незамениме приятели, за които Пития Пий пише толкова сладкодумно. Това е книга, към която човек се връща отново и отново, за да почерпи утеха, насърчение, сила и магия от мъдростта и обичта, изяществото и силата, с които могат да го дарят само истинските духовни сестри." ~ Елизабет Лесър, автор на "Превърнете живота си в духовно пътешествие"

About the author

My writer's name might be Pythia, but upon my birth in 1951 to my two greatest generation dreamer-parents, Altoona-born Joe Carroll, and Sheila, a beautiful, black-haired, blue-eyed girl from Buenos Aires, I was christened with the unlikely name of Pellman Sharon Carroll—a name that bound me to my father's fate. My first name was after my father's foster father who'd raised him during the Depression, Pellman Glover, and Sharon was after the Valley of Sharon in Israel, where family lore had it I'd been conceived (and therein lies the tale that spun my new memoir). My parents raised me and my three siblings on a bucolic farm outside of Kansas City, where my aviator father had taken a job with TWA; at 19 I dropped out of college and moved to San Francisco to live the communal hippy dream; after moving in 1981 with my husband and three sons to Santa Fe and living in my first house, I began to write as a freelance journalist—probably my greatest claim to fame is my interview with George R.R. Martin in his pre-Game-of-Throne, struggling author days! Not long after, my family moved to the Washington, DC area, where I got divorced, then focused on my work as a "depth journalist" writing about psychological and spiritual perspectives on political and social issues. Today my sons are grown, and as a reward for raising three boys, Fate graced me with three lovely daughter-in-law and a lovely granddaughter, Eslyn, so that I can now proudly add "grandmother" to my bio. Besides blogging for The Huffington Post and Psychology Today, I'm also the author of two new books: AMERICAN ICARUS, an intimate memoir of my difficult, alcoholic, aviator-father,our relationship, and his redemptive, Hospice-guided death, and AMERICA ON THE COUCH, a collection of interviews with 37 psychologists on the American psyche, including violence, addiction, the environment, capitalism, politics, and the soul of America.

Reviews

[Liaken · Rating 4 out of 5]

I will probably pick this book up again in the winter. It made a wonderful companion during that time last year. The piece that has been most valuable to me so far is the meditation on courage. I used this meditation several times as I was facing some challenging aspects of my life. It helped gently and beautifully, leaving me feeling supported whenever the panic would come at me. I would have bought this book just for that meditation. I've also enjoyed reading the stories and seeing how the author conceptualizes the qualities of the feminine soul.
