The Muse Process: Unleashing the Power of the Feminine for Success and Fulfillment

by Barbara Cox

We are all instilled with principles, passed down through generations, that guide our feelings and behaviors. Women often feel immense pressure to live up to preconceived standards when taking on the roles of wife, partner or mother. The drive to meet expectations can lead to a sense of lost individuality and feelings of isolation and invisibility. This book serves as a guide through the "muse process," which encourages women to explore their innate feminine power to reach their full potential and create a happier, healthier life.

Very interactive! This book has everything for the soul searchers, the doers, anyone ready to deeply trust and know their inner being. Have you ever had your unconscious mind overrule your conscious mind? Or, get in the habit of something and go autopilot? If so this one is for you! Within the first 30 pages, I was learning how to bring the conscious and the unconscious mind into harmony.

Such a good EMPOWERING book!
I love the space left to write in my own answers! I also love the tone in which this was written. The author, Barbara Cox, is not only a psychologist but also a coach. This makes for a very insightful, but positive book. She radiates positivity and her message is one we could all benefit from. I highly recommend 'The Muse Process: Unleashing the Power of the Feminine for Success and Fulfillment'.

If you don't know how to mentally define your space or can't decipher your emotions from other's, this book will give you those skills for life if you practice the exercises within. The info is amazing but you must do the work! The exercises and meditations I mentioned have made me much calmer and I am now able to ground myself and connect to the calm alpha state whenever I want because I finally found a breathing technique that works for me. I now do this breathing technique a few times a day to check in with myself. The biggest take away I personally had was what I learned about myself through this process. It wasn't partying and hanging out with friends I craved all these years as much as it is me craving community. Barbara Cox's book helped me figure out what I truly want in life and how to let those societal beliefs and conditioning go. Learning your truth is the key to happiness. The key to that empty void you may feel within yourself. I highly recommend picking up this book today if you are ready to be who you were fully meant to be. I can't recommend this book enough!!

Thank you so much to Cristina Smith for recommending this wonderful book to me! I needed this in my life and it couldn't have come at a better time! I also want to thank Jennifer Ellis for arranging a print copy to be sent to me by the Publisher, McFarland —McFarlandBooks.com. Lastly, I'd like to thank the author, Barbara Cox, for giving me life-changing tools to use in this overactive world. All reviews are my own and voluntary.

This book is for you if you want to improve your life through deeply personal psychological development. The Muse Process is guided by expert, kind and compassionate psychologist Dr. Barbara Cox.

She leads us through this five-phase process with exercises and case studies. Cox defines our minds as an upgradable app and gives us easy access to downloading and integrating our Inner Muse app for enhanced success and happiness.

Dr. Cox’s book is personal, accessible and includes easy to do, effective techniques for going from a life of auto pilot to authentic joy. Highly recommended!
