Taking Charge of your Fertility by Toni Weschler
Absolutely incredibly wonderful and I wish I had this information about my monthly cycle when I was growing up (and grown up). It would have saved me many confused/quizzical and suppressed moments! I’m now plotting my temperatures every day and learning about the intricacies of how my body works. It was a joy to read this book and I feel very empowered knowing this ‘family planning’ (pregnancy prevention) and ‘fertility awareness’ (pregnancy achieving) information. I’ve been sharing a lot of it with Snowdon and to my delight he read a particular chapter. I’ll be recommending this book to people (just as Rach recommended it to me) and I believe that the information in it should be made readily/obligatorily available to doctors, parents, hopeful couples, and teenagers, both male and female, in schools. Particularly, every woman, should have the opportunity to know what’s going on with her own body throughout each month!
Proprioceptive Writing by Linda Trichter Metcalf and Simon Tobin
Incredible. The book is actually not incredible, but the concept, message and practice of Proprioceptive Writing, is. Since reading this book I’ve performed many ‘writes’, and am finding it a wonderful tool to bring order and clarity to my thoughts (something that I’ve been looking for, for quite a while, so I’m very happy to have found it)!
Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman
This book didn't take me long - I had trouble putting it down! I found it captivating. It is a beautiful story of a mans' spiritual journey and it made a lot of sense to me.
I particularly liked the following statements that were mentioned, and I think represent the book quite well.
The important thing is this: To be ready at any moment, to sacrifice who you are, for what you could become. Charles Dubois
Unexpressed emotion is stored in the muscles of the body. Wilhelm Reich
