A call for dialogue on Women's Good Body.
Renee Terese Plasky, master ppractitioner of Flower Essences,
and remedies for Women coming into balance with their
Good Body has issued a call for dialogue with other women.

I highly recommend that woman I know
and who read these words enter a dialogue with Renee.

In the Jewish faith there is a designation of
a Woman of Valor. I consider Renee Terese Plasky this.
For years, she has uplifted my spirit.
When I go to the Natural Product Expo West each year,
my first stop, the most connected place I go first
has been the Flower Essence Services booth.

Patricia Kaminski, the wife of Richard Katz for many
years held down the feminine energy at the booth.
In recent years, it has been Renee who lights up
the booth and the Natural Product Expo West for me.

This morning, I was feeling extreme anxiety from
not having time to take Space inside myself with
my own feminine nature.

Renee was one of the first people I thought to call
once I drew in my full assortment of Seasons of the Soul
FES remedies, and Flourish formulas of FES that
all came my way and were introduced to me by
Renee.

Throughout So Cal, we can thank Renee
for her tireless efforts in behalf of humanity.
She has brought the FES formulas to places like
our local People's Food Store, where I shop,
as well as to the Arcana Pharmacy at the
Scripts Center for Integrative Medicine,
where there is a sign outside that says
"Homeopathy." Among the highest remedies
and gifts for healing I consider the FES Formulas
to do a necessary adjunct to the lives of anyone
who desired to meet the challenge of this day.

I call this Summer Shift 2010.
We, and the world are not intended to be the
same, as the feminine and masculine inside of us
asks to be heard, to come together.

Renee Terest Plasky has a very large
spiritual bank account for the many hours
she has served, and like all servants of humanity
who are women, she carries a heavy load.

I highly recommend her services
as a Healing Arts Practitioner.
She can do counseling over the phone
as she did for me this morning,
recommending the Post-Trauma Stabilizer
PTS FES formula, and Fear-Less for me.

Gaia herself is indepted to this woman.
I am indepted to her and thank her
for allowing me to use her image on
the Cover of the very popular
series of Seven Love Cures
called WORLDS MEN NEED TO KNOW AND WOMEN
WANT TO HEAR.

HERE IS AN EARLY WEB SITE
OF THESE SEVEN POEMS
that will show up soon on a new site,
both with words and spoken outloud poems
for men to read to women, and women to read
to men.

The Deepest Dreams of Humanity--Rene Terese prepares to pull
the Seed Dreams of the Silver Box that contains the deepest Dreams of
Humanity. Many of us are caught up by the packages, the prettiness
of the box. What is on the inside of the Box? What are the seeds
intended to grow.

Today, this August 6, we planted some new dreams for
Renee Terese, whose passion now is speaking out about
her experiences as a woman with other women.
She is inspired by the work of Eve Ensler who has written
GOOD BODY. Eve authored as well the popular THe VAGINA
MONOLOGUES.

P r e f a c e

In the midst of a war in Iraq, in a time of escalatin global terrorism,
when civil liberties are disappearingas fast as the ozone layer,
when one out of threewomen in the world will be beaten or raped in her lifetime, why write a play about my stomach?

Maybe because my stomach is one thing I feel I have control over,
or maybe because I have hoped that my stomach is something
I could get control over. Maybe because I see how my stomach has come to occupy my attention, I see how other women’s stomachs or butts or thighs or hair or skin have come to occupy their attention, so that we have very little left for the war in Iraq—or much else, for that matter. When a group of ethnically diverse, economically disadvantaged women in the United States was recently asked about the one thing they would change in their lives if they could, the majority of these women said they would lose weight. Maybe I identify with these women because I have bought into the idea that if my stomach were flat, then I would be good, and I would be safe. I would be protected. I would be accepted, admired, important, loved. Maybe because for most of my life I have fel twrong, dirty, guilty, and bad, and my stomach is the carrier, the pouch for all that self-hatred. Maybe because my stomach has become the repository formy sorrow, my childhood scars, my unfulfilled ambition, my unexpressed rage. Like a toxic dump, it is where the explosive trajectories collide—the Judeo-Christian imperative to be good; the patriarchal mandate that women be quiet, be less; the consumer-stateimperative to be better, which is based on the assumption that you are born wrong and bad, and that being better always involves spending money, lots of money. Maybe because, as the world rapidly divides into fundamentalist camps, reductive sound bites, and polarizing platitudes, an exploration of my stomach and the life therein has the potential to shatter these dangerous constraints.

This journey has been different from the one I undertook in The Vagina Monologues. I was worried about vaginas when I began that play. I was worried about the shame associated with vaginas and I was worried about what was happening to vaginas, in the dark. As I talked about vaginas and to vaginas, I became even more worried about the onslaught of violenced one to women and their vaginas around the world.

There was, of course, the great celebration of vaginas as well. Pleasure, discovery, sex, moans, power. I suppose I had this fantasy that after finally coming home into my vagina, I could relax, get on with life. This was not the case. The deadly self-hatred simply moved into another part of my body.

The Good Body began with me and my particular obsession with my “imperfect” stomach. I have charted this self-hatred, recorded it, tried to follow it back to its source. Here, unlike the women in The Vagina Monologues, I am my own victim, my own perpetrator. Of course, the tools of my self victimization have been made readily available. The pattern of the perfect body has been programmed into me since birth. But whatever the cultural influences and pressures, my preoccupation with my flab, my constant dieting, exercising, worrying, is self imposed.I pick up the magazines. I buy into the ideal. I believe that blond, flat girls have the secret. What is far more frightening than narcissism is thezeal for self-mutilation that is spreading, infectingthe world.

I have been to more than forty countries in the last six years. I have seen the rampant and insidious poisoning: skin-lightening creams sell as fast as toothpaste in Africa and Asia; the mothers of eight-year-olds in America remove their daughters’ ribs so they will not have to worry about dieting; five-year-olds in Manhattan do strict asanas so they won’t embarrass their parents in public by being chubby; girls vomit and starve themselves in China and Fiji and everywhere; Korean women remove Asia from their eyelids. . . the list goes on and on.

"I have been in a dialogue with my stomach fort he past three years. I have entered my belly—the dark wet underworld—to get at the secrets there. I have talked with women in surgical centers in Beverly Hills; on the sensual beaches of Rio de Janeiro; in the gyms of Mumbai, New York, Moscow; in the hectic and crowded beauty salons of Istanbul, South Africa, and Rome. Except for a rare few, the women I met loathed at least one part of their body. There was almost always one part that they longed to change, that they had a medicine cabinet full of products devoted to transforming or hiding or reducing or straightening or lightening. Just about every woman believed that if she could just get that part right, everything else would work out. Of course, it isan endless heartbreaking campaign.

Some of the monologues in The Good Body are based on well-known women like Helen Gurley Brown and Isabella Rossellini. Those monologues, which grew out of a series of conversations with each of these fascinating women, are not recorded interviews, but interpretations of the lives they offeredme. Some of the other characters are based on real lives, real stories. Many are invented.

This play is my prayer, my attempt to analyze the mechanisms of our imprisonment, to break free so that we may spend more time running the world than running away from it; so that we may be consumed by the sorrow of the world rather than consuming to avoid that sorrow and suffering. This play i s an expression of my hope, my desire, that we will all refuse to be Barbie, that we will say no to the loss of the particular, whether it be to a voluptuous woman in a silk sari, or a woman with defining lines of character in her face, or a distinguishing nose, or olive toned skin, or wild curly hair.

I am stepping off the capitalist treadmill. I am going to take a deep breath and find a way to survive not being flat or perfect. I am inviting you to join me, to stop trying to be anything, anyone other than who you are. I was moved by women in Africa who lived close to the earth and didn’t understand what it mean tto not love their body. I was lifted by older women in India who celebrated their roundness. I was inspired by Marion Woodman, a great Jungian analyst, who gave me confidence to trust what I know. She has said that “instead of transcending ourselves, we must move into ourselves.”Tell the image makers and magazine sellers and the plastic surgeons that you are not afraid. That what you fear the most is the death of imagination and originality and metaphor and passion. Then bebold and LOVE YOUR BODY. STOP FIXING IT. It was never broken.

Emails with Renee Teresa Plasky

We talked twice today.
I was starting to beet myself up
after I did all the work.
I needed to talk and get feedback.

I am suggesting that Renee call her work
"Wisdom of the Woman's Body,"
She is now calling it Wisdom of the Body."

I thought when I did this, that Renee
was friends with Eve Ensler. I learned that
she is not. I was surprised. I saw them already
being friends.

Renee and her husband are both Aries.
That is one of the sexiest signs in the Zodiak.

I feel better now.

FROM AN INTERVIEW WITH
LESLIE GOLDMAN,
author of LOCKER ROOM DIARIES.

http://singlemindedwomen.com/womens-health/baring-her-soul-an-interview-with-...


“The older women said that looking back on their teens, they probably did have body image problems. They recalled going on these chalky drink diets or their mothers would make them wear a girdle, but there wasn’t a word for it. Also, as they got older, their views about their bodies’ purpose would change; instead of just being an object of beauty, it was to produce and then feed a child, then to care for their family, then fight cancer and beat disease. In the end, these older women in the gym were there with an attitude of taking care of their bodies ‘because it takes care of me’ instead of just wanting to look good in a pair of jeans.”
We talked about the difficulty of communicating messages about eating, knowing that even words like “fitness” and “healthy” are loaded with sometimes unintended meaning. Goldman blogs at iVillage’s The Weighting Game forum, where she says many women equate being thin with being healthy. She says what we need to promote is teaching women to love what they have, not an easy task when we’re confronted with images that are impossible to attain.
When she speaks at colleges and public seminars, Goldman will often take before-and-after magazine shots to demonstrate how unreal the images are that consumers see.

Terrific work!
The woman part of me admires Leslie Goldman
very much!!!!
