Book review - Cope with Your Biological Clock

This book is essential reading for anyone suffering biological clock anxiety. Deciding whether or not to have a baby is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. The wealth of information presented in this book provides invaluable assistance in helping you make an honest, realistic assessment of your expectations and current circumstances and make the decision that is right for you.It shows motherhood in a realistic light which, while undoubtedly bringing immense joy and satisfaction to some, can be restricting and unbearable for others. Based on detailed research, the book is packed throughout with real life examples of women who have made various choices about motherhood and shows that all choice involves both loss and gain.

There are excellent chapters on how to optimise fertility, the pros and cons of being an older mother, options available for those considering bringing up a child alone, coping with the emotional pain of infertility and the wide range of fertility treatments now available.

One of the main messages of the book is that such a life altering decision should not be based on biological clock panic but on whether you are really ready to became a parent. ''Having a baby is not something to be squeezed in before it is too late ". This very readable book is informative , positive and inspiring.

Highly recommended for anyone aware of the ticking of the biological clock.

Book Review - Anatomy of the Spirit

This book seeks to show the links between emotional and spiritual stresses and specific illnesses in the context of the anatomy of the human energy system, linking the emotional, psychological and physical factors that lie at the root of illness. It presents Myss's model of the body's seven centres of spiritual and physical power in which she synthesizes the ancient wisdom of three spiritual traditions - the Hindu chakras, the Christian sacraments, and the Kabbalah's tree of life.

With this model Myss seeks to show how you can develop your personal power and spiritual maturity, to understand the anatomy of your spirit, the spiritual causes of illness, how to sense and correct an energy imbalance before it expresses itself as physical illness, and how to recover emotionally and physically from an illness you may already have.
