“Remaining unconscious about our innate needs takes an enormous emotional and physical toll on our bodies and spirits. Not recognizing our needs for rest, intimacy, touch, good nutrition, acknowledgment, and so on—and not knowing how to get these needs met directly—prevents us from being connected with our inner guidance.”

“have heard is that matter is the densest form of spirit and that spirit is the lightest form of matter. We can view our bodies as manifestations of spiritual energy. Our mind and daily thoughts are part of this energy, and they have a well-documented effect on matter and our bodies. Our daily thoughts and emotions, which are accompanied by a multitude of biochemical changes in our bodies, set up an electromagnetic field around us (and around every cell in our bodies) that attracts to us our vibratory equivalent. This tendency is known as the law of attraction and is the most fundamental law that governs the universe. Like is attracted to like. As we vibrate, so we attract. Or to state it more simply, birds of a feather flock together.”

“Anthropologist Richard Grossinger, Ph.D., puts it this way: “Guess what? God created beings not to act in a morality play but to experience what is unfathomable, to elicit what can become, to descend into the darkness of creation and reveal it to him [or her], to mourn and celebrate enigma and possibility. The universe is a whirling dervish, not a hanging judge in robes.”

“Mit göttlicher Liebe genesen
...
"Mit ganzer Seele überlasse ich mich dem göttlichen Willen. Ich weiß, dass ... (hier tragen Sie ein, um was es geht und was am Ende herauskommen soll, etwa: 'Ich weiß, dass meine Schwester heute an der Schulter operiert wird und ich möchte gern, dass ihre Schulter am Ende ganz geheilt ist und wieder richtig funktioniert und nicht schmerzt.') Ich bitte darum, dass sich alle Ängste und Probleme durch göttliche Liebe auflösen, ganz nach dem Willen des Schöpfers." Dabei Sitze ich, ohne die Beine übereinanderzuschlagen, die Handflächen nach oben in die empfangende Position gerichtet. Dann atme ich einmal tief ein, halte den Atem an, konzentriere mich auf den Thymus (genau unter dem Brustbein) und bitte darum, ein Kanal der göttlichen Liebe zu sein.”

“Endometriose und Myome hängen mit Ernährung und blockierter Energie im Beckenraum zusammen.
Endometriose ist eine Konflikterkrankung, das heißt, sie entsteht bei Konflikten zwischen emotionalen Bedürfnissen und äußeren Funktionen. Wenn die innersten emotionalen Bedürfnisse einer Frau den Erwartungen der Außenwelt diametral entgegengesetzt sind, dann bedient sich ihr Körper oft der Endometriose, um sie auf dieses Problem aufmerksam zu machen.
...
Endometriose galt lange als "Karrierefrauenkrankheit". Bei Frauen, die den Zeitpunkt für eine Schwangerschaft hinauszögerten, war angeblich das Risiko einer Endometriose am höchsten.”

“...dass in der chinesischen Medizin Gefühle wie Wut einfach als Energie angesehen werden. Viele Frauen können ihre Wut nicht direkt ausdrücken - sie manipulieren stattdessen andere damit. Doch Wut kann eine machtvolle Verbündete sein. Wenn wir wütend sind, hat das immer mit etwas zu tun, das wir für uns selbst anerkennen müssen. Die Wut hängt nur bedingt mit der der Situation oder dem Menschen, der sie ausgelöst hat, zusammen und ist immer ein Zeichen dafür, dass wir uns in irgendeiner Weise haben vergewaltigen lassen. das ist einer der Gründe dafür, dass Wut so oft eine Begleiterscheinung des prämenstruellen Syndroms ist.
Wir Frauen müssen alle lernen, dass niemand uns wütend machen kann. Unsere Wut gehört uns, und sie sagt uns etwas, das wir wissen müssen. Wut ist Energie - unser persönlicher Treibstoff. Sie sagt uns, dass etwas in unserem Leben geändert werden muss. Sie weist uns darauf hin, dass wir etwas wollen, ohne zu wissen, was das ist.
Wenn Sie das nächste Mal merken, dass Sie böse sind (vielleicht weil Sie ganz zittrig oder genervt sind), lassen Sie selbst Dampf ab. Bewegen Sie sich. Atmen Sie. Kreischen Sie. Oder versuchen Sie es damit: Stellen Sie zwei Stühle einander gegenüber. Setzen Sie sich dann in den einen und stellen Sie sich vor. dass die Person, auf die Sie wütend sind, im anderen sitzt. Jetzt sagen Sie Ihrem Gegenüber alles. was Sie schon immer sagen wollten. ganz egal wie laut, abseitig oder geschmacklos das ist. Lassen Sie Ihre Wut raus, steigern Sie sich ordentlich rein. Wenn Sie fertig sind, beglückwünschen Sie sich für Ihren Mut. Fragen Sie sich dann: "Was aber brauche ich?" Warten Sie die Antwort ab. Kommt die Wut wieder hoch, wiederholen Sie das Ganze, bis der Anfall vorbei ist.”

“Instead of celebrating our cyclic nature as a positive aspect of our female being, up until very recently we’ve been taught that we shouldn’t acknowledge our periods at all, lest we neglect the needs of our spouses and children. Consider this excerpt from a 1963 insert inside a tampon box: WHEN YOU’RE A WIFE Don’t take advantage of your husband. That’s an old rule of good marriage behavior that’s just as sensible now as it ever was. Of course, you’ll not try to take advantage, but sometimes ways of taking advantage aren’t obvious. You wouldn’t connect it with menstruation, for instance. Yet, if you neglect the simple rules that make menstruation a normal time of month, and retire for a few days each month, as though you were ill, you’re taking advantage of your husband’s good nature. He married a full-time wife, not a part-time one. So you should be active, peppy, and cheerful every day.27”

“A 2003 report by a division of the Cyprus government recently reported that more than 2,000 women a year, particularly those arriving from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet republics hoping for a better life, end up forced into prostitution and trafficked to other European and Arab countries.18 A United Nations report estimates that in Asia alone, about a million children work in the sex trade and are kept in slavery-like conditions (such as being locked in brothels and beaten if they are uncooperative, not to mention being undernourished and sedated with drugs”
