This book opens our eyes to the relationship between a woman's journey of individuation and her body's condition. The underlying premise, convincingly presented by the author, posits that weight issues and eating disorders have meaning, thus being intentional symptoms.
The author tackles two questions: Why does one woman gain weight while another remains slim? What does fat symbolize?
The suggested practices enable a woman to listen to the messages/symptoms that her body conveys and to interpret them as symbolic representations worth exploring, as they lead to the understanding of her instinctual femininity and the wounds she has endured - not only from others but also from herself.
The topic includes a particularly interesting analysis of the concept of Mother Earth and the recognition of the Feminine Principle in the Holy Spirit.
