Book Synopsis

EXPLORE THE FULLEST POTENTIAL OF YOUR POWER AS A WOMAN

Although women today have greater opportunity to make our own choices, build independent lives, and craft powerful careers, we all too often forge our path by following the trajectory laid out by men. By emulating what men identify as desirable goals and strategies, we deny our truest, most innate feminine qualities and desires.

The Way of the Satisfied Woman offers an alternative path for women, and for any person who cares to focus more on the feminine than the masculine. The path of the feminine is simply different -- perfect in its own right yet integral and complementary to the path of the masculine. Alanna Kaivalya shows how embodying feminine energy sets us free, relaxes us, and allows us to more completely manifest the things that are most important to us, including connection, communion, and compassion. The Way of the Satisfied Woman explores:

- definitions of feminine and masculine energies that embrace gender differences and affirm the experience of the modern woman
- prominent qualities of the feminine as represented by mythological archetypes and modern psychology
- ways of redefining the feminine in modern language, ideas, and arenas, including intimate relationships, career, family, success, community, and legacy
- the relationship between masculine and feminine and its manifestations in intimate partnerships

It is time for women to take our place in the world and embrace the power, potency, and purpose of the feminine, which will profoundly impact not just our own lives, but the balance of all life around us.
