La Mujer Sagrada - by Queen Afua (Paperback)

About the Book

For decades, Queen Afua has been a leading holistic health practitioner and wellness consultant. She has designed programmes to empower people from all walks of life with practical tools drawn from ancient methods. Although she has long been in the spotlight, her work reached a new and younger audience when she was invited to speak at the funeral of the late rapper and activist Nipsey Hussle in 2019, as well as through her recent partnership with Black Girls Rock. Now, twenty years after the publication of The Sacred Woman, Queen Afua revisits this classic in a new edition adapted for the times. With two new chapters, revised content from the entire book and a new foreword by the author reflecting on the book's incredible journey, The Sacred Woman invites any woman interested in self-care to take a moment, slow down and look within. At its core, The Sacred Woman is a twelve-step programme for spiritual wellness. Through extraordinary meditations, affirmations and rituals rooted in the temple teachings of ancient Egypt, Queen Afua teaches women how to love and rejoice in their bodies by purifying the words they speak, the actions they take, their relationships and the spaces around them. Readers are invited to enter the twelve Gates of Initiation, each of which represents a rite of passage that will help them break free from their old life and bring them closer to a new way of being. At the end of this journey, the sacred woman will find herself fully empowered and equipped with everything she needs to live in balance with the earth and the cosmos. With love, wisdom and passion, Queen Afua guides women to embrace their mission and purpose as sacred women: to heal themselves, the generations of women in their families, their communities and the world.
