He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him

There are some books that every woman should know: because they are also important "tools" not only of knowledge but suggestions, invitations, guidelines for greater personal awareness.





The internalization of these contents represents a profound enrichment: an empowerment that allows a dimension of "being" - even as a woman - wider and more aware of one's role, personal and social.

Among these texts, here are five that cannot be missing in the assortment of one's home library (and which - of course - would not hurt even men to read).

Women running with wolves

Women running with wolves, by Clarissa Pinkola Estès, perhaps doesn't even need an introduction. It is a classic, extra-classic (by now): indispensable. It allows you to access a world of ancient wisdom, the one narrated and hidden in stories, legends, fairy tales which is useful, fundamental, to bring everything back into the right perspective. Inner and sacred. Deep and superficial. It is the way to find, rediscover the "wild woman" who lives inside: here of "wild", in the common negative and devaluing meaning, there is nothing. It is "wild" that which is strong, powerful, not homologated to a patricentric culture; it is the inner strength of the feminine, capable of transforming, elaborating; create and bring wisdom, wisdom, vision, union in everyday life and in relationships and, together, lead upwards: "Wild" because free, not submissive. An extraordinary strength, in a thousand facets, to be rediscovered and lived: and the stories and myths help to do so, to feel that connection, also thanks to the words of the author who "translates", explains, helps to enter the ancient and wise teachings.

Women who run with wolves is a book that can accompany you over time; to reread several times. With breaks. Going to a specific fairy tale at a particular moment of life. And then reread, rediscover. At each stage of life you can grasp different nuances or it can simply become one (although, of course, not the only one) of the safe havens from which to return, to remember.



The healer's prophecy

The healer's prophecy, by Hernàn Huarache Mamani, is an exciting novel. There are no prophecies but somehow prophetic is the underlying message, which strongly belongs to the Andean shamanic tradition: women possess extraordinary energy, capable of restoring peace and balance to the world.

The story told is that of a girl who, after an unexpected event that makes her question everything, approaches the teachings of a curandero (a sort of healing shaman) that lead her to regain her personal power and a greater connection with all things. Beyond the context, in essence the experiences lived by the protagonist are applicable to every woman and underline how it is possible to use one's feminine in a conscious way, making it an added value.

Healing with the whys

Healing with the whys, by Robin Norwood, is another book to read at least once in a lifetime because it reminds us that every adversity, every difficulty - even the heaviest, as well as the most insignificant - have a meaning, contain a teaching that is vital to us. They do not happen by chance, they are not fury of fate or bad luck. Also in this case we are dealing with stories: not myths, not fairy tales but the lives of men and women of our time, between infidelities, financial collapses, diseases. In short, everyday life of "ordinary" people, in which we can find ourselves more concretely, in some way close.

To understand it, even if only theoretically, however, an effort is needed: a change of perspective. It is a question of leaving the "ordinary vision" to enter larger dimensions, in a holistic sphere (which reminds us that everything is connected) and also spiritual (because it places suffering, physical, emotional, situational in a process of evolution of consciousness) . Thus it can be understood that instead of "fighting" against adversity, you can choose the path of cooperation: only then can they become opportunities for awareness, the fulcrum of a deeper change, of an expansion of our ability to act and love.



The red moon

The red moon, by Miranda Gray, focuses on the menstrual cycle. Yes, him, that stuff there that is often not called by his name. Women's things: a bondage, a nuisance, a boredom, an exhaustion, an obstacle to the sexual life of those days, a dirty thing, a hindrance to everyday activities; a more or less monthly physical event, which presents only inconveniences and annoyances. Or you can get out of a male-dominated culture and enter the profound meaning, in the role that that blood assigns to every woman: with its presence, with its absence, it determines development times connected to the organism but also interior and spiritual; opens and represents the creative force present in every female being (regardless of physical motherhood), in every age of life. The red moon it is a useful, practical book, as it allows you to become aware, enhance and honor, experience the various phases of the "monthly appointment" and, then, to understand the meaning of the new creativity, stronger on other levels, which opens up when you enters menopause: a new age, of development and knowledge, possible.

When this is internalized, digested, integrated, a subsequent step will also be possible: a more fluid conscious presence of one's own feminine, which uses and consciously controls "its own moon" and is oriented to the teachings of Sophia, a sacred feminine connected to the Sun .

The woman of the new culture

The woman of the new culture of the master Peter Deunov, more than a book is a lecture, a teaching: it is the right reading for those who want to dare and approach, with a deep dive, in a vision that reassigns - outside the schemes, stereotypes and esoteric imagination so much in vogue, even around / within the themes of the feminine - a profound spiritual role, which is embodied in everyday life, in relationships and looks beyond. To the original archetype of woman and of the feminine.

Words spoken more than 80 years ago, still visionary, of an original wisdom: someone will be able to recognize them, hear them; for others they could meanwhile be seeds placed on their own personal ground (because when the time comes, when the season is right, they can find a sense and open up to the bud of a new understanding of the beauty and power that inhabit us, in the masculine and feminine in we).
