Additional quotes by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Practice listening to your intuition, your inner voice; ask questions; be curious; see what you see; hear what you hear; and then act upon what you know to be true. These intuitive powers were given to your soul at birth.

حينما نفقد الاتصال بالروح الغريزية, نعيش في حالة تشبة الحطام وتهيؤات كالأوهام, بحيث لا يتسنى للقوى-التي هي طبيعية في الأنثى- أن تنمو وتمر بأطوارها بالكامل. حينما تُقتلَع المرأة من تربتها الحقيقية, تفقد حيويتها وتضطرب دورات حياتها الطبيعية والفطرية, وتدخل ضمن التصنيفات الثقافية والفكرية والنفسية التي تنتمي إلى الآخرين.

This is our meditation practice as women, calling back the dead and dismembered aspects of ourselves, calling back the dead and dismembered aspects of life itself. The one who re-creates from that which has died is always a double-sided archetype. The Creation Mother is always also the Death Mother and vice versa. Because of this dual nature, or double-tasking, the great work before us is to learn to understand what around and about us and what within us must live, and what must die. Our work is to apprehend the timing of both; to allow what must die to die, and what must live to live.
