In a life-threatening battle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome the author discovered emotional renewal and spiritual awakening in a transforming encounter with the essential feminine. Here she shows others how to make the journey from self-doubt to self-esteem, from illness to health, and from weakness to strength. Waking sleeping beauty becomes the metaphor for the process of recovering the legacy of feminine strength that has been largely lost in our culture.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Hers is not only a literal story of her battle with a woman's disease, but also a metaphorical telling about the condition of many American women today whose efforts toward healing are really attempts to reclaim their power in a subtly but insidiously male-dominated culture.

This review is from: When Sleeping Beauty Wakes Up: A Woman's Tale of Healing the Immune System and Awakening the Feminine (Paperback)

Patt, I am loving my own examination of what "feminine" really means through reading your book When Sleeping Beauty Wakes Up.

You are bringing home the recognition that our intuition is very powerful if only we listen... Without the active listening, we so easily become numbed to it.

Your descriptions of listening to your body in the depths of your illness jolted me into a looking at how often I ignore my own body signals. Our intuition is the voice of the divine feminine speaking intimately to me, to each of us.

Heal Your Mind, Rewire Your Brain will be an obvious follow-on. ...
