Reviews
Borysenko, author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind (1988), is back with a holistic approach to what's right about being a woman. The Harvard-educated scientist, author, and spiritual guide uses the latest hormonal and neurological research to show the "life path" down which each woman travels. What she terms a "bio-psycho-spiritual feedback loop" reveals its gifts gradually as a woman completes 12 seven-year cycles of renewal and metamorphosis, each one preparing her for the next. There are three such cycles in each life "quadrant": childhood, young adulthood, midlife, and late adulthood. The thirteenth cycle is death. Borysenko explains the evolving capacities of each period, traces the waxing and waning of feminine consciousness, and assures women that midlife is a stage, not a crisis. The book is laced with fascinating insights from experts such as Jungian analyst Clarissa Pinkola Estes, gynecologist Dr. Christiane Northrup, and cardiologist Dr. Dean Ornish. An appendix of medications and prayer practices rounds out the work. This is an intriguing, provocative look at the way women should view their bodies, their minds, and their spirits.
