letter from the publisher T


he world of women today is much different from that of our mothers—


and even more different from that of our grandmothers. Several generations ago our grandmothers’ roles were, in most cases, prescribed and set…. Our mothers found the doors beginning to open for careers, more than teaching and nursing


and becoming stewardesses. Today professions of all sorts beckon young women


while motherhood lingers in the background. Twenty- somethings have so much pressure to be not only athletic and bright but to achieve a model’s body as well. The compulsion to be attractive in all ways is a great burden. Older women fi nd themselves trying to advance in their careers—and be caring mothers and attentive wives all at the same time. Women of this age fi nd themselves trying to “be everything to everyone.” How to balance all this? This issue of Natural


Awakenings discusses the female dilemma: too much YANG (activity) with not enough YIN (nourishment). Sleep, intuition, the right diet, energy practices (Yoga, Tai-chi), meditation—these must be ingredients of a well-lived life. Take time to “surrender to stillness.” The rewards are life-changing.


Honor your mother by fi nding your true self.
