A call to women to accept and live our feminine nature.The essence of the feminine nature is life. It is the energy in us that cares about life in all its forms, that brings warmth and beauty to everyday living, that says yes to life. This sensibility runs deep yet close to the surface in women. Growing from girlhood into womanhood, many of us forget or reject our true femininity. Coming back home to our feminine nature is a process of recognizing what was left behind, feeling the sorrow of that loss, and learning to value what is ours by birthright. Many women yearn to feel more whole, more complete. The answer lies in connecting with the original feminine that flows in our veins. With knowledge and commitment, we can recover the sensitivities and intelligence natural to us as women. When rooted in the wisdom of our personal rhythms and inner knowing''s, we experience security and a sense of belonging from within.Explaining the feminine principle in a down-to-earth manner, The Nature of Woman affirms women''s ways of thinking, seeing, speaking and being. Stories from the natural world, viewed psychologically, take the reader deep into the instinctive wisdom residing in women''s bodies and psyches. An age-old practice from a culture that honours women''s sensibilities reveals pointers for congruent living as a woman. Women hungry for a sense of authentic womanhood will find inspiration, validation and guidance here. If you desire to Be Woman, the pages of this book invite you in.

In this revolutionary treatise, J W Armstrong puts the compelling case that all diseases (except those caused by traumatism or structural disorders) can be cured by one simple means: urine therapy. The therapy is an entirely natural treatment, a drugless system of healing that treats the body as a whole. Moreover, the only ingredient needed is a substance manufactured in the body itself, rich in mineral salts, hormones and other vital substances, namely human urine. It may seem strange to take back into the body something that the body is apparently discarding. Yet the theory is similar to the natural practice of organic composting. Fallen leaves, when dug back into the soil, provide valuable mineral salts to nourish new plant life. The same principle holds true for the human body.
