Wild Feminine: Finding Power, Spirit & Joy in the Female Body [Paperback]

Tami Lynn Kent (Author)

Book Description

Release date: February 22, 2011

Wild Feminine: Finding Power, Spirit, & Joy in the Female Body offers a unique, holistic approach to reclaiming the power, spirit, and joy of the female body and to understanding its connection to creative energy flow. By restoring physical and energetic balance in the pelvic bowl, women can learn to care for themselves in a nourishing and respectful manner, heal spiritual fractures, and renew their relationship with the sacred feminine.

Although the feminine body is an access point to the greater realm of the spirit, many women have lost their connection to this source. Author Tami Kent, MSPT, has an answer. Drawing from her experiences as a woman's health physical therapist who works with the physical body and female energy system, Kent provides a framework for healing the body and navigating the realms of feminine spirit. Through pelvic bodywork, healing stories, visualizations, rituals, and creative exercises, women can explore the deep and natural wisdom inherent in the female body.

Wild Feminine reveals the amazing potential of the female body: the potential to create, to heal, and to transform the energy of a woman’s everyday life. Journey deep into the heart of your body. Travel the terrain of feminine wounds. Go to your root place, the center of all womanhood and radically shift your relationship with your body and spirit. Wild Feminine gives you the tools to awaken and retrieve your ancient wild self, restore your creative energy, and reconnect to your sacred center.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Holistic women's healthcare provider and Holistic Pelvic Care founder Kent offers a groundbreaking yet practical mapping of the female energy system with her first book. In a world in which women are notably absent in "all things worthy of study," Kent argues for the importance of exploring the base of female power. Holistic Pelvic Care was created to help women return to their roots and resolve childbirth trauma, sexual trauma, stress, and other issues. Kent believes that women, using her methods, can access the heart of the feminine, reclaim their sacred selves, and heal. She offers exercises to assess levels of spiritual wholeness, and includes detailed instruction on self-administered pelvic care, which she believes helps women to re-embody the feminine. In her book, Kent proceeds with a solidly New Age vibe, which some readers may mistake for a lack of substance or depth; the focus here is on releasing negative energies from "the pelvic bowl" through self-awareness, breathing, and vaginal massage, which in Kent's practice has yielded positive effects for her clients. Leaders in the alternative women's health movement have already embraced Kent's teachings wholeheartedly, and many readers are sure to follow suit.

From Booklist

Physical therapist Kent, founder of Holistic Health Care, wants to restore a sense of the sacred at each woman�s core. This pelvis-centered self-care book that�s both a health and a spiritual guide helps women find and use the �spirit in our wombs��that is, in the pelvic root of the body�that �opens us to spirit.� This focus, Kent believes, can help women understand their personal relationships with �the wild feminine� as they reclaim the wild energy within. Medical practices, including organ-alignment techniques, along with visualization and body-awareness exercises to restore balance and energy-flow to the pelvic bowl are essential to easing the conflicts women face in a man�s world, Kent claims. She also offers exercises and advice for the development of individual energy pathways to reinforce core radiance and suggests starting a �wild feminine� book club. --Whitney Scott

5.0 out of 5 stars Get ready to go deep March 3, 2011

By Leslie Howard

Format:Paperback

I travel the country, a 3 -D model of the female pelvis in hand and educate women about their pelvises. I try to read every book out there to recommend what i feel are the best on the market about this covert subject. Wild Feminine stands out amongst all the books that i recommend because it takes on the subject in a very different way. Wild Feminine asks women to do some of our own deep internal work both literally and psychologically/spiritually. Tami Lynn Kent asks us to stop and take the time to figure out how we FEEL about our pelvis and how our pelvis feels about us. She guides us to listen with compassion to the stories of our pelvis. Having taught this work for over 5 years, I know EVERY woman's pelvis has a story. Many of them are filled with sorrow and pain. Ms. Kent's voice is one of a true healer that puts the reader at ease and guides the reader to invite the feelings to be experienced and brought to light. The book is filled with writing exercises and rituals to get the communication lines open between you and your pelvis. If you are ready to go deep, i give this book my highest recommendation!

5.0 out of 5 stars Women's Health Essential February 9, 2009

By Sarah E. Wylie

Format:Paperback

I am lucky to live and work in the same community as the author, Tami Lynn Kent. That she has brought us this book, while raising 3 children and working outside the home is a miracle in itself! This book will help all students of natural medicine and women's health weave together the lessons we have learned from our great teachers, Dr. Northrup, Dr. Arvigo, Clarissa Pinkola Estes and Ina May Gaskin - to name just a few. Tami is a scribe for those of us pioneering back into the frontier we left behind, but can never escape, the Wild Feminine! This book is also written in a way that all students, regardless of experience or training can comprehend.
