The Power of the Dark Feminine

by China Galland

Product Description For centuries, a hidden current has run through the world's wisdom traditions—a dark, positive, feminine energy represented by such striking symbolic figures as the Tibetan Buddhist Tara, the Black Madonna of Catholicism, and the Hindu Kali. On The Power of the Dark Feminine, award-winning author and researcher China Galland escorts you on a spiritual pilgrimage in search of these inspiring mythic figures. From India to South America to medieval Europe, you will encounter the world's most powerful manifestations of fierce compassion—the feminine force that emerges when we harness our anger and transform it into spiritual awareness—and learn ways to awaken this power within yourself. Enriched with authentic meditations and many true stories of women who are changing the world today through compassionate action, The Power of the Dark Feminine is a quest across the globe and into the rich, fertile soil of a lost spiritual tradition. Book Description Galland introduces listeners to mythical figures and modern women who embody a dark, positive, fierce, and compassionate feminine energy, and shows listeners how to awaken that force by transforming anger into spiritual awareness. Galland includes authentic meditations and true stories of women changing the world today.
