releasing the power women

I have read other books by Denise Linn and enjoyed them all BUT this one really release a part of me that has been wanting to come out. It tells of many things that we as women have brought into that are not trues but ways to hold us back. I love the rituals and the easy ways to work empowerment back into our lives.

A beautiful book for women

I found this book so relaxing and easy to read, whilst also taking a journey through my femaleness. Covers the Goddess within each of us, all feminine aspects, our warrior women, how to take care of ourselves, what we have come here to do, our inner magic and secrets to share. A wonderful mix of spiritual truths and practical exercises to bring out the women in you. A must for the bedside table.

Delve Into The Sacred Feminine

Every once in awhile I come across a book that fits my current questions and circumstances like a synchronistic glove. Secrets and Mysteries - The Glory and Pleasure of Being a Woman is one such book. Secrets and Mysteries will give you a profound understanding of what it means to be a woman. Full of passion, mysticism, and practical information, it will tap the source of your power at the depths of your soul. Through her own extraordinary life experience and her knowledge of native cultures around the world, the author reveals how you can activate ancient wisdom to become the magnificent embodiment of strength and grace. In other words, how you can become a Glorious Woman! In the first chapter, the author shares her personal story, including the realization that she was a people pleaser. This negative pattern hounded her for decades, much like it does for many women. Rather than listening to her own needs, she discovered that the major decisions she made were based on what others wanted from her. She began to ask herself difficult questions such as Am I willing to stop putting other people's needs ahead of mine? Am I ready to let go of the need to please everyone? Can I stop taking care of everyone else, and start caring for myself? These questions came on the heel of being told that she had breast cancer. Because it's a popular belief in the New Age movement that you "create your own reality", Linn longed for compassion, understanding and support but feared accusations such as "You created this. What's eating at you?" or "I knew you had to slow down, you were working too hard." She was so judgmental of herself that she couldn't bear being judged by others. So she didn't reach out for help. She took a month of for some deep soul searching, and the cancer disappeared. The stories and struggles that Linn shares in this book parallel those of many women I've talked to, including my own. It's encouraging to read a book from someone who's been there, and how she navigated through self-doubt and trying times. It's also refreshing to read such honesty about her own personal journey, rather than an author pontificating on what others "should" be doing or how we need to buck up and "get over it". Chapter 2 talks about the historical roots of the Goddess and how to embrace Her. Linn writes: "Goddess worship can be traced from the Paleolithic period, as early as 2,000,000 B.C., until less than 5,000 years ago when God became a man. In other words, God has been a male for one quarter of one percent of human history, and God has been female for 99.75 percent of the rest of the time. A male God is a relative newcomer on the divine scene. Yet, in modern culture, there is an ingrained belief that God is, and always has been, male." She explains that the distortion of female history and the Divine feminine has left many women feeling dispossessed of their spiritual identity as women, and that they have not been taught to explore their strengths.

"SOUL CALL" by Sharon A. from AZ home of wolfden24@cox.net

Denise has the most beautiful soul and inner beauty of any woman I have read about. She is a genuine GEM. This book is so enlightening, encouraging, it builds you up, makes you appreciate yourself and the beautiful world around you, if you just open yourself up to let the miraculous healing effect, soul-lifting, and pure joy of being a woman and being alive. Denise is a fantastic teacher. She explains it all in this fantastic book I highly recommend to every woman out there, who is searching for some truths, some magic, and the goddess in you. She guides you along the way to discover your true self. Denise really put her heart and soul in this one! This is one of the best, EVER, books I have read regarding Spirituality, soul-lifting, rejoicing, the sacredness of nature and Mother Earth. You will feel closer to the Nature of all this Earth has to offer. She shows you how to tap into all the resources and energy out there waiting for you to absorb and draw into the very center of your well-being. If you have never felt Spiritual before, this book will surely open that door for you. I believe if every woman on Earth could read this book, the World would be so full of love, and understanding and so much joy and pleasure, more than you ever dreamed of would absolutely transform Humanity. This is the first book of Denise's I have read, I wish I had discovered it sooner. I plan to buy several more of her books. Join me in this great discovery, and take the Journey.

Insightful

Denise Linn is a fascinating and genuine soul and her new book is powerfully uplifting for women. As women, we usually take so very little precious time for ourselves. We bottle so much of our true essence inside. This book is very insightful and helps us to see and experience that wonderful, mystical side of ourselves!
