We menstruate more now than at any time in human history. Girls are starting to menstruate earlier due to protein-rich diets and hormones in food; women are less likely to die young; we have fewer children and therefore spend less time not menstruating. Increased work and family stresses, in addition to more periods, mean that women are more physically and psychologically vulnerable to negative attitudes to menstruation. So it is more important than ever that we investigate ways to make our periods physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy.

Claire Murphy is a wild child who has managed to extend her twenties into her forties by never settling down to anything much at all. Running on instinct and a determined refusal to take on the shackles of conventional success--less out of conviction than out of the fear of being pinned down--Claire has eschewed marriage, children, and security in favor of travel, affairs, and a loosely-constructed freelance career. "The French Cure" charts Claire's inner and outer journey as she moves from California to Paris, and then to rural France. The raw impulse to escape a soured relationship propels her travels, but this time, there is no escaping her confusion and pain. Licking her wounds, she retreats to a part of the world still steeped in traditional values and simplicity, and stays still long enough to figure out what really matters to her. It's not what you might think. . .

A comprehensive guide for creating a daily spiritual practice, Growing Your Inner Light gives specific advice on developing a unique spiritual path that fits exactly who you are, and what you hope to grow into as a spiritual being. Author Lara Owen clearly shows how a personalized practice can open the doors to living fully with integrity and to feeling connected with the surrounding world. For readers yearning for a sense of inner peace, and a direct experience of spiritual meaning and connection, Growing Your Inner Light is a groundbreaking, transformative journey through thirteen phases of your growth, including: developing intuition; creating sacred spaces and altars; understanding your dreams; exploring the importance of retreats, meditation, and rituals. Growing Your Inner Light gives readers the freedom to integrate from different traditions -- and develop new ones -- in order to create their own spiritual tradition. One former student of Lara's program shared that she feels "less like a spiritual tourist and more like a pilgrim." Spiritual development is a natural part of being human, and a vital way to expand the intensity of your inner light throughout your life.
