Clarissa Pinkola EstÃ©s
Dr. Clarissa Pinkola EstÃ©s Presents Volume Five of the Dangerous Old Woman Series,â€œWhat makes an elder, a heartfelt spirit, a clear mind, a talented heart, one who is young while old and old while young, an activist for the Soul? Is it formulae, schemas, lexicons? It could be. But also, and often more so, I think it is very like the flowering of the trees in the forest, as we gather more years: we straggle and stride onward in our better learned ways to give out even more seeds for new life, and to blossom wildly in so doing for self and others â€¦ The old ones are yet traveling underground and overland toward us as we meet one more time: ,La Vidente,, the Seer; ,La Que Sabe,, the Knowing Woman; ,La Levantadora,, the Lifter of Cursesâ€”the Dangerous Old Woman in her many likenesses calls to you to 'get down to business.'â€ â€”Clarissa Pinkola EstÃ©s, PhD,How to Be an Elder, presents the culmination of Dr. Clarissa Pinkola EstÃ©s' masterwork, inviting us to â€œcome into our own as wiser and wild soulsâ€ through six sessions of teachings, stories, poetry, and blessings. In this fifth and final volume of Dr. EstÃ©s' landmark series, we will explore how it is that through the gathering of our years we become a beautiful refuge for ourselves, our Souls, and for those who come after us. ,â€œDid I mention, dear brave souls,â€ reminds Dr. EstÃ©s, â€œthat you came with all the seedlings needed to do your work, to take your venerable places in life? Now is the just-right time, like Sleeping Beauty, to break the enchantment, to truly awaken and awaken others, as either a rookie Dangerous Old Woman, or a mid-career Dangerous Old Woman, or as Crone with Crown complete!â€,Stories, Poems, and Blessings Include,A Simple Prayer for Remembering,â€¢ ,El Arbol de la Vida,: The Tree of Life,â€¢ Blessing Prayer: â€œTattoo Your Scars with Flowering Vinesâ€,â€¢ â€œSleeping Beautyâ€,â€¢ Blessing Prayer: â€œDo Not Fold Your Wings So Smallâ€,â€¢ â€œThe Shoebox of Tangled Necklacesâ€,â€¢ â€œRumpelstiltskinâ€,â€¢ Blessing Prayer: â€œMay You See with Three Sets of Creator-Blessed Eyesâ€,â€¢ â€œRapunzelâ€,â€¢ â€œThe Loathly Brideâ€,â€¢ Blessing Prayer: â€œYou Shall Be Like a Volcano Heard from Afarâ€,â€¢ â€œThis Little Time Travelerâ€,â€¢ â€œThe Stolen Mother Moonâ€,â€¢ Blessing Prayer: â€œThe Hardening off of the Heartwoodâ€,â€¢ â€œDistilling Aunt Edna from the Bottleâ€,â€¢ â€œThe Rabbi's Advice to the Harriedâ€,â€¢ â€œA Handful of Mudâ€,â€¢ â€œBaucis and Philemonâ€,â€¢ Blessing Prayer: â€œThe Mountain for Old Loversâ€
