by Liyana Silver
On This Page
Description
There is a particular kind of insanity running rampant in the world that compels most women to stuff down, ignore, or hide parts of ourselves in order to be acceptable, attractive, or taken seriously. Which doesn't work. It actually ensures we remain unfulfilled, miserable, and at war with ourselves--and that is a war no woman can win. So now comes the good news:There is a path to help you become the woman you are aching to become. This path is unruly, messy, a wee bit naughty, and show more audaciously asks you trust the very parts of you that you previously warred against. While this path has no script, map, or blueprint, you'll learn to use your sensuous, desirous, wildly feeling female body as a steadfast and trustworthy compass. This is the path ofFeminine Genius. To get you started, you'll have the best of guides: women's life coach LiYana Silver. "One of the most enduringly inspiring things in my life," says LiYana, "is to watch a woman slip the Gordian knot of self-loathing, people-pleasing, and over-achieving and become simply and fullyherself." Partly an irreverently reverent feminist treatise and partly a non-denominational devotional hymnal to the Sacred Feminine,Feminine Genius just might change forever what you know about your body, soul, sexuality, intuition, and power. In these pages, LiYana invites you to: Go deep and reconnect with the powerful parts of yourself you've hidden away * Meet your innate genius: the wild, creative, and infallible wisdom of your body * Brighten your everyday with hands-on practices * Tap into your inner knowing so you can stop second-guessing yourself and get clear about your next steps * Learn how to embrace your sexuality, emotions, desires, and cycles so you can achieve enormous effectiveness and fulfillment in life * Navigate your "dark" and work with painful, difficult experiences in healthy ways * Learn how you overuse your "masculine" strengths to the point of personal, cultural, and global breakdown * Discover why your "feminine" isn't weak, but is one of the strongest and most trustworthy parts of you * Explore the history, physics, and biology of a universe built for harmony between "masculine" and "feminine" * Look in the mirror and see the face of the Goddess gazing back at you If you found a dusty bottle on a shelf of your cellar, there would be only one way to know if it contained an all-knowing genie with the power to actualize your deepest desires:open, and look inside. Feminine Genius is a provocative wake-up call, nudging you to uncork that fabulous flask and find out just how much magic you've been hiding. Because youdohave a genie in your bottle--and genius in your body. Are you ready toopen, and look inside? show lessTags

I love the title and the cover of this book, but felt really off as I read it.
There are points of true grace and wisdom, and then, something jarring that just doesn't align at all with the overall tone and message of the book.
As an example, early on in the book there are a few paragraphs full of statistics about women's sexual abuse. I glossed over it, and felt out of synch as I read from there forward. It was almost as if the author was trying to prove something to me, just to show me another way.
I feel a bit challenged putting this into words, other than... there were great shifts in the text that didn't align with the rest of the message. I often found myself skipping pages, sections, just to get to the juiciness I sought.
One show more quote that demonstrates what I'm trying to convey: "One is not born genius, one becomes a genius; and the feminine situation has up to the present rendered this becoming practically impossible".
I just... I cannot disagree more, and this sentence came completely out of nowhere. I think it might be a quote from someone else (many sections have a related quote at the top), but it's hard to tell in the preview Kindle version. Regardless, it's so off-kilter to the rest of the message, I felt like I was on a boat in the Bahamas again right after hurricane Matthew.
Nutshell: I'm sure there's gold in here, I just want to avoid the whiplash to find it.
