For any woman, is at the moment is your life, from adolescence through menopause, Christiane Northrup is an author really recommended.
These are his words:
You say that the body sends signals well before the intellect is willing to listen. Can the disease be considered a language of the soul?
Absolutely, the body can not be deceived. When we are out of sync with our soul, the body us know. When we see the problems that way, our perception expands, and stop thinking in terms of "What Have I Done to Deserve This? "," Why me? "...
How this fit in the current paradigm of medicine?
Western medicine is the physical model of cause and effect of Newton, which considers the body as a machine breaks down and needs to be fixed. This paradigm is useful in case of accidents or acute illness, although even the diseases and accidents can be interpreted as a clarion call to awaken. For me the key is: if something hurts, get help, but at the same time, ask yourself this question: "What is happening in my life right now? Is sending my soul a message? ".
teaches women to look inward, to ask questions ...
usually do not know what is an illness that has passed, but I always ask my patients: "What is happening in your life now? ". And this question always provides reliable information on the underlying causes of the disease. For example, menstrual cramps and premenstrual syndrome-common disorders, often related to much outside activity, poor diet and little time for herself, to care and live a more leisurely pace. As one woman told me: "When I ask my pain belly what I mean, the answer is: "Take a bath and rest." And when I do, the pain disappears. "
you consider health and disease as the result of many factors, not only personal and emotional, but cultural and gender. What we've come and how we have fallen women?
Women have made very good progress in the sexual arena, which already exercised the right to a full and enjoyable sex life. We have rediscovered the role of the clitoris in female orgasm. There is, therefore, a global awareness of the horror of female genital mutilation. On the other hand, we have regressed in terms of image corporal. Demasiadas mujeres pasan hambre para poder alcanzar el ideal actual del cuerpo femenino. También hemos perdido poder en el ámbito de la salud, con una medicación innecesaria para
procesos naturales, como son el embarazo, el parto o la menopausia.
¿Por qué cree que los procesos femeninos naturales a veces se “tratan” como si fueran enfermedades?
Las creencias erróneas sobre el cuerpo femenino provienen del mito del patriarcado, que establece que el hombre es superior y la mujer inferior. La Inquisición y el inicio de muchas religiones revelan una profunda incomprensión y miedo hacia el poder femenino. Se estima en nueve millones las mujeres, principalmente midwives, healers and herbalists, accused witch and burned during the Inquisition. I do not know if they found any, but the charge was simple enough to burn to a midwife or a healer. There have written many books on the history and how its effects have reverberated through time.
Do you think that women, in trying to prove our worth as men, we've left something valuable down the road?
Absolutely. I know this loss because I have experienced myself, especially when a resident in gynecology and my children were small. But then I woke up! In many cases we have lost connection with our own magic that comes from the body, the symbol of the Earth. We have lost our connection with nature, with the moon and tides. But to get this magic all you have to do is remember, honor, take a moment to experience its balm. Our bodies are very grateful. And when a woman claiming her power and magic-only through connecting with our body wisdom, everyone benefits: men, women, children and the Earth.
The titles of all books containing the word "wisdom." Do you think it is a feminine wisdom?
Yes, feminine wisdom is the wisdom of the Earth. The wisdom of the seasons, the waxing and waning moon. It is the wisdom to understand that the need for rest and reflection is as important as the need for activity. It is the wisdom of care and tenderness, desire and the certainty of our power to manifest our desires if they move us. It is the wisdom of dreams and intuition. Men have it too, but they have been taught to ignore, to women, in a sense, too, but that is changing now.
been twelve years since the publication of his first book. What has been the response of women? What balance should I do? The
Reply comforts me. I hear from women around the world found "Body of woman, the wisdom of women" just when they needed it, and that changed their lives. What excites me most is when women tell me, "When I read the book, I felt like putting into words what I felt. I never heard a doctor say them. " I find it wonderful that the book will help women to trust themselves. I am not a guru. I want women to connect with their inner authority and personal truth. And that is the essence of feminism.
