Book Synopsis Conceiving the Goddess by : Jayant Bhalchandra Bapat
Download or read book Conceiving the Goddess written by Jayant Bhalchandra Bapat and published by . This book was released on 2016-12 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conceiving the Goddess is an exploration of goddess cults in South Asia that embodies research on South Asian goddesses in various disciplines. The theme running through all the contributions, with their multiple approaches and points of view, is the concept of appropriation, whereby one religious group adopts a religious belief or practice not formerly its own. What is the motivation behind this? Are such actions attempts to dominate, or to resist the domination of others, or to adapt to changing social circumstances - or perhaps simply to enrich the religious experience of a group's members? In examining these questions, Conceiving the Goddess considers a range of settings: a Jain goddess lurking in a Brahminical temple, the fraught relationship between the humble Camar caste and the river goddess Ganga, the mutual appropriation of disciple and goddess in the tantric exercises of Kashmiri Saivism, and the alarming self-decapitation of the fierce goddess Chinnamasta.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birth does not have to be painful. It is only because of centuries of conditioning and medical 'intervention' that most women experience it as such. Most women now hold so much fear in their bodies that it constricts the muscles and creates resistance counterproductive to the expansion that occurs and is required during birthing. It is this underlying fear that causes pain.This book...* Gives you tools to release the fears, the limiting mindset and the conditions that keep you trapped in fear, whether it be birth-related or not.* Guides you - month by month - through each chakra, and provides powerful tools to raise your frequency in each.* Shares empowering birth stories that reinforce the natural way of birthing to assist you to re-condition your mind.* Gives you background on how and why we were moved away from natural birth into the highly interventionalist birthing practice.* Ultimately guides you to rebirth yourself, reclaiming your true inner Goddess Self, before birthing your child. This is a must-read manual for every woman, pregnant or not pregnant, to rebirth herself and birth her baby as the cosmic children that they are. "In the Womb of the Goddess takes you on a fascinating journey through the stages of pregnancy through an awakened lens, as well as giving an in-depth exploration of the making of blissful birth and what you need to know to connect to your inner power. Well worth the read." Katrina Zaslavsky, Author of A modern Woman's Guide to Natural Empowering Birth and Editor of the Empowering Birth Magazine. "Krystal presents a series of maps and metaphors as well as monthly reflective activities that enable the unveiling of a deeper odyssey. It is rich in suggestions for professionals."

Book Synopsis The Birthing Goddess by : Laila Valere
Download or read book The Birthing Goddess written by Laila Valere and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can a woman really have a natural, pain-free childbirth? Yes, she can! Can she feel completely in control and actually enjoy her birthing experience? Absolutely! I know this for sure and in The Birthing Goddess, I share my own pregnancy journey and epiphanies as I prepared myself and achieved that glorious goal of pain-free birthing. The Birthing Goddess is a carefully structured holistic program that engages women in an easy step- by- step training process and enables them to experience this seemingly elusive goal. This book targets and eradicates the fundamental causes of pain in childbirth: fear and inadequate preparation. The training involves dispelling fearful myths, strengthening and controlling birthing muscles, conscious breathing, emotional well-being, mental discipline, self-hypnosis, meditation, spiritual awareness, and much more. Fearfulness is banished. Medical intervention is minimized. As a Birthing Goddess, a woman becomes the superstar of her performance. Her body, mind and spirit become well prepared for a happy, healthy pregnancy and a joyful birthing experience. In this fast-paced world, pregnant women will need a structured natural childbirth training program that they can use in the privacy of their homes. Midwives, Doulas, Birthing Centers, and all Health care practitioners will find the information and training in The Birthing Goddess invaluable for themselves and their clients. The idea of enjoying a natural pain-free birthing experience may seem like a fantasy but after reading this book women will realize that they are in fact Birthing Goddesses, ready to reclaim their legacy and enjoy manifesting what they are divinely created to do. About the Author Laila Valere has had the benefit of a multi-faceted career as a Diplomat, Counseling Psychologist, Educator, Training Consultant and Conference Leader. As a mother, she herself has had first-hand experience of the remarkable difference between birthing three children naturally with much pain and anguish and birthing her fourth child at age 46 years naturally yet with comfort and joy. This gave her a compelling dual perspective on natural birthing. She realized that it was the quality of childbirth preparation and self-training that changed painful natural birthing into pain-free natural birthing. This is the transformative process that she wishes to share with others in The Birthing Goddess. Laila is a practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Hypnotherapy. She has also produced a comprehensive training manual Focus on Self and two experiential CD recordings with accompanying booklets: (1) Success in Examinations to assist students to overcome examination anxiety and (2) From a point of Love- a healing prayer and meditation. In The Birthing Goddess, she uses her varied skillsets and experiences to design this innovative and effective training system to help women fully enjoy their pregnancy and be present for their divinely glorious, pain-free birthing experience. Laila lives in Florida with her husband, children and grandchildren and is actively involved in community service and in helping others to develop their potential.
Book Synopsis Goddess as Nature by : Paul Reid-Bowen
Download or read book Goddess as Nature written by Paul Reid-Bowen and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goddess as Nature makes a significant contribution to elucidating the meaning of a female and feminist deity at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Bridging the gap between the emergent religious discourse of thealogy - discourse about the Goddess - and a range of analytical concerns in the philosophy of religion, the author argues that thealogy is not as incoherent as many of its critics claim. By developing a close reading of the reality-claims embedded within a range of thealogical texts, one can discern an ecological and pantheistic concept of deity and reality that is metaphysically novel and in need of constructive philosophical, thealogical and scholarly engagement. Philosophical thealogy is, in an age concerned with re-conceiving nature in terms of agency, chaos, complexity, ecological networks and organicism, both an active possibility and a remarkably valuable academic, feminist and religious endeavour.

Book Synopsis The Alphabet Versus the Goddess by : Leonard Shlain
Download or read book The Alphabet Versus the Goddess written by Leonard Shlain and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking book proposes that the rise of alphabetic literacy reconfigured the human brain and brought about profound changes in history, religion, and gender relations. Making remarkable connections across brain function, myth, and anthropology, Dr. Shlain shows why pre-literate cultures were principally informed by holistic, right-brain modes that venerated the Goddess, images, and feminine values. Writing drove cultures toward linear left-brain thinking and this shift upset the balance between men and women, initiating the decline of the feminine and ushering in patriarchal rule. Examining the cultures of the Israelites, Greeks, Christians, and Muslims, Shlain reinterprets ancient myths and parables in light of his theory. Provocative and inspiring, this book is a paradigm-shattering work that will transform your view of history and the mind.
