Book Description

October 30, 2001
Queen Afua is a nationally renowned herbalist, natural health expert, and dedicated healer of women’s bodies and women’s souls who practices a uniquely Afrocentric spirituality. Her classic bestseller, Heal Thyself, forever changed the way African Americans practice holistic health. Now, with Sacred Woman, she takes us on a transforming journey of physical and ancestral healing that will restore the magnificence of our spirits through sacred initiation.

Queen Afua begins by helping us to discover our unique “womb-an-ness”–and to honor the womb as the center of our consciousness and creativity, giving us a twenty-one-day program for womb purification and spirit rejuvenation. Then Queen Afua summons us to enter the Nine Gateways of Initiation, where she blesses us with the exact tools we need to bring our beings into true harmony with the earth and the cosmos. Through extraordinary meditations, affirmations, and rituals rooted in ncient Egyptian temple teachings, Queen Afua teaches us how to love and rejoice in our bodies by spiritualizing the words we speak; the foods we eat; the spaces we live and work in; the beauty we create in our lives; the healing energy we transmit to self and others; the relationships we nurture; the service we offer; and the transcendent woman spirit we manifest.

With love, wisdom, and passion, Queen Afua guides us to accept our mission and our mantle as Sacred Women–to heal ourselves, the generations of women in our families, our communities, and our world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration, Information and Wisdom in One Book! June 6, 2000
Format:Hardcover
Spirit literally lifted my arm and put my hand onto this book in a bookstore. While I have been on a spiritual self-healing path for some time and discovered many wonderful books, SACRED WOMAN is truly a masterpiece, an incredibly user-friendly guide that inspires you to begin changing your life, raising your spirit and claiming your power before you're through with the second chapter! Well-researched and beautifully written, this book is for anyone who wants to feel their best and live to their full potential. Thank you, Queen Afua, for this amazing and lovely resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting book! March 6, 2002
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Queen Afua enlightens us again with her second book, SACRED WOMAN. It is pretty hard to follow so I suggest you highlight like crazy. It really is the format the she uses in her wholistic center laid out in book form. There is so much to learn so keep your brain wide open! She begins with Kemetic history and continues with the nine gateways to journey on to becoming a centered Womb-Man. This book is on my top 10 list of spiritual books. If you are a woman interested in Kemet life and wholistic living, read this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heal A Woman! Heal A Nation! April 15, 2000
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
As a graduate of the "Sacred Woman" program several years ago, led by Queen Afua, I eagerly awaited this blessed book.

This book is a gem and a life saver. It will transform the way that all women look at themselves and other women. Her teachings on the womb and the ways of woman and girl-hood are revolutionary and much needed.

When I received the book, I made a commitment to repeat the Sacred Woman's training again. Some readers may have a problem with the Khamitic Nubian Philosphy and some of the language, however, if you are meditative and open, you gain new knowledge and wisdom that will be beneficial.

As the book progresses through each of the nine "gateways", you will gain a new way of thinking about your self as a whole woman. This is wholistic thinking. Here a woman gets to examine her body temple, her kitchen, her home, relationships and words, etc. Using the recommended tools she can take herself on a joyous spiritual journey. If one never travels through the gateways in deed, the information alone is worth thking in.

I heartily recommend this book to all women regardless of age, race and status. All will benefit from these teachings that will affect not only ourselves, but our families, homes and communities. In the words of poetess-healer Lady Prema, Heal A Woman, Heal A Nation!
