How to begin...

How do you begin changing the way you feel about your belly?

Begin by shifting your perception. Rather than criticizing how your belly looks, attend to your "gut feelings." What are they telling you?

Consider what you value most. Is it good health, great sex, creativity, confidence, fulfilling relationships, a steady sense of purpose?

Your belly contains the soul power that calls these blessings into being.

If that's the power your belly contains, is there any point in agonizing over the shape and size of the container?

Bright blessings,
Lisa

Featured Artist: Tamar Stone Exposes Girdles

Tamar Stone's medium is corsets and girdles. In one piece, she shows women posed in girdle ads as paper dolls. The text, taken from the ads, promises to "whittle you down." Click on the picture for a larger image.

The Woman's Belly Book exposes girdles as instruments of social control—see page 47. For more, read The Goddess Ungirdled: How I learned to love my belly...

Publishers Weekly calls The Woman's Belly Book "liberating."

Another reviewer says it "shows women how to open their eyes to their bodies' true and natural beauty. A must-read for any woman who is sick of the emotional yo-yo of self-criticism."

Still another writes: "I got a lot of laughs--it is so friendly and reassuring. As a woman who has sucked in her gut since I was old enough to remember, this book has been a wonderful blessing and...phew!...a relief."
