Intuition and the Mystical Life

I was reluctant to get the book due to the somewhat negative reviews, but my passion to hear the two ladies won - and I regret NOT buying the book earlier- they are awesome, they have beautiful poetry going back and forth between them while talking about women's intuition. I love this material, already listened to it three times. I recommend it. And I think the presentation transcends nationality and religion, as it speaks to the soul as well as the mind.

Juxtapositions

It was interesting to me that I began to compare the responses and dialogue between Myss and Estes. I couldn’t resonate with Carolyn Myss. The more I listened, the more I felt this way. She seemed opinionated and her tone felt like she was scolding and judging women. Clarissa Pinkola Estes was such a big contrast to her. Her stories and narrative seemed to be more empowering of women. Myss talked about ego and intuition in ways that made me feel ego was bad and that intuition was better served in silence and invisibility. Women’s voices have been shut down for eons and they have been invisible in so many ways. There is nothing wrong if they want to be seen and heard and for the world to know aloud that a woman follows her intuition,. This is not egotistical. I give Estes five stars and Myss, just one.

Powerful Duo!

Clarissa Pinkola-Estes has long been my favorite guide to archetypes, how they may apply in our life stories, and Jungian Psychology. She & Caroline Myss have just filled in questions I've had in full Technicolor. This was an excerpt from a larger work on balancing chakras that I am looking forward to finding and listening to. I am now looking forward to listening to more of Caroline's works too.

Two Amazing Women

This book has become my FAVORITE of ALL time!! Heartwarming, inspirational, educational, and so full of knowledge. This book has helped me to understand several things about myself, that I have struggled with, and even fought with myself about, denied myself of, and at times have beaten myself up about. I no longer have to search for answers that I have been wanting and needing to find my entire life.. Thank you both for the warmth that exudes from your bodies and minds that it seems so effortless, your voices are both so soothing and melt words, like butter used to make the bread, in the final story..

Deeply touching!

Deeply touching and enlightening in a very gentle feminine way. No abstracts. Only solid examples of how the Spirit works through Matter.

Intuition or Judgement?

Judgement is rampant through this book. Didn't learn much about intuition but learned so much about all the "shoulda" around developing intuition!

Not as excited about this as I thought I would be

Any additional comments?

I have a fundamental issue with what Caroline Myss says regarding therapy. She claims that women go to therapy to unravel deep seeded psychological issues in order to develop intuition, but really intuition comes from self-esteem. I can't speak for everyone, but myself and many other women I know go to therapy to unravel the deep seeded issues that keep us from loving ourselves and keep us from having higher self esteem. So, I find her comments about intuition not being found in therapy quite erroneous.

A little "precious" for my taste.

Ivory Tower Mysticism?

I like both Myss, and Pinkola-Estes; however togther.. not so much.
I felt like I was listening in on a mutual admiration love fest, and mysticism was secondary. I expected this book to have more substance, and relevence to the average person but it came across as cliquish.

"Intuition for well off women who were raised by perfect parents"

Both women went to Catholic school, neither are First Nations, and because *they* were not abused, are completely dismissive of the atrocities that occured within the auspices of
the Catholic Church.
I expected more from them.
