For decades, Dr 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. 'You have a Divine spark within you, and your body is permeated and nourished by spiritual energy and guidance. Having faith and trust in this reality is an important part of creating health. Ask for guidance and be open to receiving it.'
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.
