1.  Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing

    by Christiane Northrup, M.D. (Paperback - 1998)

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.2 out of 5 stars

 

     A zena moon Essential Book

From Amazon.com: Christiane Northrup’s vision of mind-body wellness has received an extraordinary response from women all over the world. Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom powerfully demonstrates that when women change the basic conditions of their lives that lead to health problems, they heal faster, more completely, and with far fewer medical interventions.

 

Dr. Northrup brings us vital information about the best techniques of Western medicine and the best alternative therapies, showing how to incorporate both into a complementary whole. She guides readers through the entire range of women’s health problems and offers innovative, positive perspectives on normal processes, such as menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. This edition includes:

•  A nutrition chapter emphasizing individual dietary needs and body chemistry
•  Information on improving fertility after age 35--and how to cut the risk of C-section by 50%

•  A comprehensive program for menopause, including how to decide whether natural hormone

    replacement is right for you
•  Holistic ways to prepare and heal faster if surgery is necessary
•  Plus dozens of natural treatments and a wealth of hard-to-find health care resources
 

Filled with dramatic case histories from her medical practice in Maine, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom is contemporary medicine at its best, combining new technologies with natural remedies and the miraculous healing powers within the body itself.

 

 

2.  Fit from Within: 101 Secrets to Change Your Body and Your Life

    by Victoria Moran (Hardcover - 2002)

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.45 out of 5 stars

 

    From Amazon.com: Victoria Moran wasn't always as slim and serene as she appears now. For 33 years, she "lunged" at food, bingeing and dieting, rarely losing weight for more than a few weeks at a time. Then 18 years ago, she adopted the principles of self-acceptance, self-nurturing, and spirituality she describes in this book--and lost 60 pounds for good. She learned to live without obsessing about either weight or food, relying on "grace and good sense."

 

Moran's 101 "simple secrets"--each two to three pages long--are sometimes obvious, sometimes provocative, sometimes profound. Some, like "accept yourself today," "walk more," and "get a support system" seem self-evident, but Moran digs into the psychological components that might be holding you back. A few seem unusual, such as "in the beginning, eat out" (reason: when you eat in a restaurant, it's clear when the meal is over) and "visit an art museum" (to recognize the beauty of voluptuous women). Moran's style is warm, welcoming, and strong, like a good friend who has found the answers you seek and won't let you off the hook. Highly recommended for emotional eaters who are ready to change the behavior and attitudes that are stopping them from reaching their goals.

 

 

3.  Real Gorgeous: The Truth About Body and Beauty

    by Kaz Cooke (Paperback - 1996)

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars

 

   From Amazon.com: Kaz Cooke knew women needed a book that cut through the confusing and cruel messages about body image, beauty, eating disorders, diets, and cosmetic surgery. "Mostly, we needed a book that wasn't trying to sell us anything except self-confidence and the truth," says Cooke. "I couldn't find one so I had to write one." Written in the spirit of life, liberty, and the pursuit of body acceptance, Cooke playfully challenges some of the most oppressive misogynists of the 20th century: the beauty, fashion, and diet industries. Simultaneously funny and reassuring, Cooke boldly asserts her opinions and research on push-up bras (they dig and hurt), cellulite (it's a cosmetic company-induced condition, not a medical condition), and fashion models ("some of the most insecure, tortured souls around"). The cartoon illustrations offer comic and compassionate accents to this poignant discussion.

 

 

 

Icon  Music

1.   Yoga: On Sacred Ground

   ~ Chinmaya Dunster (Audio CD)

    Original Release Date: 2001

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars

    

From Amazon.com: Dunster's plaintive violin, guitar, and flute bring to life music that ranges from relaxing to invigorating as successive tracks move through the chakras. Excellent not only for yoga practice, this is music anyone can enjoy.

 

 

2.   Body Language

    ~ Boney James (Audio CD)
    Original Release Date: 1999

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: As learned from the broad-based popularity of his previous albums, people turn to saxophonist Boney James to do one thing: create sultry audio backdrops well suited for mingling, small talk, and romantic notions. James, rotating between tenor, soprano, and alto saxophones, faithfully delivers more of those goods on this, his sixth album. The mood sustained throughout all nine tracks (42-plus minutes runtime) is urbane, low-key, and cue-ball smooth. Chelle Davis provides breathy background vocals on the slow-grooving opening track, "Are You Ready?" and R&B crooners Shai take a more foreground role on the sweetly disarming "I'll Always Love You." Perhaps the album's most attractive cut is the slow urban crawl of "Boneyizm," with subdued interplay between James's tenor sax and Rick Braun's flügelhorn. Nothing shrill, outrageous, new, or significant awaits here, simply an engaging and pleasant listen.

 

 

3.   Sound Body, Sound Mind

    ~ Andrew Weil (Audio CD)

    Original Release Date: 1998

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: Sound Body, Sound Mind is a phenomenal experience. Dr. Andrew Weil, trailblazing pioneer in the field of integrative medicine and a bestselling author, teams with Anna Wise, a leading authority on brain waves and healing. Together with producer-composer Joshua Leeds, they collaborate on a peerless sound and healing experience. Utilizing psychoacoustics, the trio has created an hour of music chosen to enhance the listener's well-being and sense of health by specifically addressing brain waves. On disc 1, Dr. Weil guides the listener through a meditation followed by music based on the themes of Bach, Brahms, Mahler, and Mozart. Combined with healing sound frequencies, the overall effect facilitates the listener's experience of "the deep," an encounter of complete safety and harmony. The second disc is a fascinating discussion by the aforementioned trio on psychoacoustics and the making of the music.

 

 

 

Icon  Movies

1.   Calendar Girls

     Starring: Helen Mirren, Julie Walters

     (2003) ~ DVD

     Avg. Customer Rating: 3.9 out of 5 stars

    

From Amazon.com: In the sensible yet elegant hands of actresses Helen Mirren and Julie Walters, Calendar Girls walks a fine line between sappiness and snickering and ends up both wonderfully funny and gently touching. When her best friend Annie (Walters, Billy Elliot) loses her husband, Chris (Mirren, Prime Suspect, Gosford Park) cooks up a scheme to memorialize him: They and their friends--all fiftysomething women--will make a nude calendar to raise money for the hospital where he died. The calendar becomes hugely popular, but the success may drive a wedge between the two women's friendship. Based on an actual event, Calendar Girls carefully balances the stories of several women as it follows the calendar's media explosion, becoming a surprisingly moving fable of loss, determination, and the perils of fame. And let's face it--Helen Mirren is one of the wittiest and sexiest women alive, clothes on or not.

 

 

2.   Classical Pilates Technique

    Starring: Complete Mat Workout

    (2003) ~ DVD

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.45 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: Although the Classical Pilates Technique DVDs were not shot in an exotic location or on a luxurious set, these are the finest Pilates DVDs on the market. They exhibit the high standards of instruction required of all who were trained in the tradition of Romana Kryzanowska. In Ms. Ungaro's directions, I have found a new path to familiar routines and with my own students, I now use many of the powerful images that Mr. Liekens delivers throughout his voiceovers. Two of the DVDs in the collection include discussions, from which much additional information about the Pilates method can be learned. All in all, this collection of Pilates instruction remains unsurpassed.

 

 

3.   Body Heat

    Starring: William Hurt, Kathleen Turner

    (1981) ~ DVD

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: While scoring high-profile credits as a screenwriter (including The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and Raiders of the Lost Ark), Lawrence Kasdan made his directorial debut with this steamy, contemporary film noir in the tradition of Double Indemnity and other classics from the 1940s. In one of his most memorable roles, William Hurt plays a Florida lawyer unwittingly drawn into a web of deceit spun by Kathleen Turner (in her screen debut) as a married socialite who plots to kill off her husband with Hurt's assistance. Kasdan's dialogue is a hoot (sometimes it borders on satire), and the sultry atmosphere is a perfect complement to the perspiration-soaked chemistry between Hurt and Turner, whose love scenes caused quite a stir when the film was released in 1981. John Barry's score sets the provocative mood, and both Ted Danson and Mickey Rourke are splendid in memorable supporting roles.
