For decades, Christiane Northrup has been helping women navigate their lives with grace and joy. This elegant, compact volume offers her trademark wisdom in a fresh form, filled with pointed reminders “to help you develop a deeper respect for, and connection to, your own body and its exquisite guidance system [to] create a vibrantly healthy body, mind, and spirit.”
Each beautifully designed black-and-white page carries a quote that touches on a topic of deep everything from heart-listening to epigenetics to the importance of knowing that your decisions about medical treatment are not irreversible. Examples
• You are an ever-renewing, ever-changing, ever-growing being, born with an inner guidance that helps you create and maintain vibrant health and happiness. • When faced with a dilemma, take a moment to sit with the issue. Don’t rush to decide what to do. • Intend to let Divine inspiration flow to you, and it will be so! • The next time you get an ache or a pain, soften the area around it with compassion. • Ask your body what it needs. Listen deeply for the answer.
I love Christiane Northrup and I love inspirational quotes. Put them both together and you have this wonderful little book. I carry this around with me whenever I need a pick-me-up. There is plenty of room in the margins for added thoughts, quotes and other such lovely things (I have some stickers in mine!). It is a wonderful addition to your mindfulness practice...or just a great book to read!
Really like this book, sometimes just little bits of reading can help you see the light ! I tend to keep to myself these days and this book has helped me see and feel things in a new way and definitely gives me hope!
There's no particular thematic order or dating to this collection of short quotes from Christianae Northrup; think of it more as random bits of insight to reflect on from relationships to esteem to women's power and perspective to women's bodies. It runs a wide gamut of thoughts on increasing one's sense of worth and acts as a pick me up for inspiration. It was good for contemplation for brief moments at a time, though the format didn't do much for me.
