Healing the War Between Genders: The Power of the Soul-centered Relationship Book

HEALING THE WAR BETWEEN THE GENDERS is a groundbreaking book offering both new ways to think about and tools to heal an age-old human drama. Linda Marks adeptly discusses what she calls a "cultural heart wound" as being at the center of the gender struggle. In this context, the struggle actually transcends heterosexual relationships, gender role conflicts and particular one-to-one dynamics. Since each person has what are often called male and female energies, "the war" is a much deeper struggle about how to best blend these energies using head and heart. As the deeper struggle is healed individually and culturally, we give birth to what Marks calls "soul-centered relationships." The healing that is required is related to what Marks calls "the traumatized heart." Referencing important research about the electromagnetic field related to the heart, Marks shows that heart-focused healing is not just a metaphor. Real things are going on between people, between the genders, at an energy level--heart-to-heart, heart-to-head and head-to-head. Marks embraces and provides valuable perspective on some of the hard questions related to the "war between the genders," exploring how to "honor the male heart," how to "hear the female heart," how to "integrate sexuality and spirituality," how to "prevent the gender wars in the next generation," and how to "restore essential connections" to nature, soul, relationships, community and God. Complete with exercises, meditations and diagrams, HEALING THE WAR BETWEEN THE GENDERS provides a hands-on resource the reader can rely on. Psychology and author Margaret Paul says about this book, "It is time to move out of the power struggles that characterize most relationships and into compassion and true partnership with ourselves and each other. This book facilitates partnership between head, ehart and soul, and creates the sense of community that we need to heal the male and female heart wounds that create such a distance between us." Economist and author Hazel Henderson calls HEALING THE WAR BETWEEN THE GENDERS, "Timely and truly heart-warming. Deeply experienced interpersonal wisdom that can help evolve more appreciative relationships--and help re-design more caring economies and win-win societies on our small endangered planet."Read More
