Weaving a rich tapestry of multicultural myths, ancient legends, and simple folktales, Anita Johnston, PhD, inspires women to free themselves from disordered consuming by finding the metaphors that are concealed in their have life stories.

‘Storytellers speak in the language of myth and metaphor,’ Johnston clarifies. ‘They reveal a truth that’s not literal, but symbolic. If we hear the tales with only the outer ear canal, they can appear absurd and untrue, but when listened to with the internal ear, they convey a truth that may be understood and soaked up on a deeply personal level. In this manner, tales help us connect to our internal world, towards the organic rhythms and cycles of the planet earth, and to the energy of our intuitive wisdom.’

An immensely enjoyable book, Taking in in the Light from the Moon is filled with practical exercises and profound insights. Twenty chapters explore different themes of self-discovery and empowerment on primary issues such as for example intuition, symbolism, emotions, sexuality, and recovery.
