When The Dance of Deception was published, Lerner discovered that women were not eager to identify with the subject. "Well, I don't do deception" was a common resonse. We all "do deception", often with the intention to protect ourselves and the relationships we depend on. The Dance of Deception unravels the ways (and whys) that women show the false and hide the real -- even to our own selves. We see how relationships are affected by lying and faking, by silence and pretending and by brave -- but misguided -- efforts to tell the truth. Truth-telling is at the heart of what is most central in women's lives. It is at the foundation of authenticity and creativity, intimacy and joy. Yet in the name of "honesty", we can bludgeon each other. We can approach a difficult issue with such a poor sense of timing and tact that we can actually shut down the lines of communication rather than widening the path of truth-telling. Sometimes Lerner's advice takes a surprising turn -- for example, when she asks us to engage in a bold act of pretending in order to discover something "more real"; or when she tells us not to parachute down on our family to bring up a "hot issue" without laying the necessary groundwork first. Whether the subject is affairs, family secrets, sexual faking or the challenge of "being oneself", Lerner helps us to discover, speak and live our own truths.

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer: How Hormone Balance Can Help Save Your Life

Are you a woman between 35 and 50 experiencing PMS, migraine headaches, sudden weight gain, fatigue, irritability, tender or lumpy breasts, memory loss, fibroids, or cold hands and feet? If so, you may be experiencing symptoms of premenopause. Even if you're a decade or more away from menopause, your hormones may already be out of balance, usually caused by an excess of estrogen and a deficiency of progesterone, say the authors of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause. John Lee, M.D., is a well-known advocate of the benefits of natural progesterone and the author of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause. Jesse Hanley, M.D., adds sensitivity to the emotional and spiritual aspects of premenopause. The authors recommend natural progesterone cream to balance your hormones, eliminate premenopausal symptoms, and make you feel better. They also discuss the dangers of xenohormones--substances not found in nature that have hormonal effects--frequently found in pesticides, solvents, plastics, and hormone-treated meat. The book presents common symptoms of premenopause with suggested natural treatments (progesterone cream, diet, vitamins, and herbs) and substances to avoid, plus additional chapters on diet and exercise. Many case studies help to bring the information into perspective. If you are premenopausal (or close to someone who is), this is a valuable resource.

Guided Meditations to Help With Fertility

This set of four separate fertility meditation exercises was created to provide holistic, mind-body tools to help with infertility challenges and boost desired results. The Health Journeys expertly made, physician-endorsed collection of guided imagery for fertility is designed to reduce the stresses that naturally occur with infertility and its treatment, and further the goal of finding the right solutions for each person and family. Here's the track list: 1. Introduction (4:24) 2. Imagery to Help With Conception, Gestation, and Parenting (16:04) 3. Affirmations (20:26) 4. Imagery for General Relaxation, Coping, and Respite (18:01) 5. Meditation for Grieving, Letting Go, and Moving Forward (16:38) Guided imagery is a holistic, mind-body technique that consists of healing words and hypnotic images, set to soothing music. Repeated listening once or twice a day for 2-3 weeks ensures maximum impact. Guided meditation and fertility are a natural fit, found in randomized clinical trials to increase relaxation, coping and successful outcomes. Written and narrated by noted guided imagery pioneer and holistic health expert Belleruth Naparstek, and scored to the exquisite, immersive music of Steven Mark Kohn, this highly regarded guided meditation for fertility was produced by the Cleveland Orchestra's Bruce Gigax. Much of the content is designed to reduce the stresses associated with infertility and infertility treatment, normalize the process, validate emotions, strengthen self-esteem and reduce any distance between partners by promoting communication during this challenging time. These fertility meditation exercises are carefully and sensitively designed to help people let go of trying to control the process with excessive internal pressure to get pregnant, and instead hold the image that there is a baby meant for them in their future. This makes the fertility meditations appropriate for whatever might evolve - even an adoption outcome - as well as for conception and pregnancy. Parent feedback and clinical research suggests that by taking away the pressure to conceive, the likelihood of pregnancy may actually be enhanced. The first guided meditation for fertility reinforces self-esteem and relaxes mind, body and spirit, using guided imagery to envision successful fertilization, whether inside or outside the body. The next track of guided imagery for fertility consists of calming, restorative affirmations that encourage listeners to stay peaceful and positive, centered and flexible, while undergoing fertility treatment. Affirmations are brief and can be listened to while on the go or even while driving. Additionally, there is imagery to help with relaxing and coping during various medical procedures, such as IVF; and to counter the frustrations and discouragements that accompany the ups and downs of fertility treatment. And finally, if needed, there is additional guided imagery to assist with grief, resolution and reclaiming one's life. Read some reviews and listen to the samples of fertility meditation from this program, so you can see for yourself why this extraordinary audio program is so heartily recommended by fertility specialists, support groups, and couples counselors, as well as endorsed by OBGYN's, endocrinologists nationwide.
