Blogs by Niki Collins-Queen The Tao of Womanhood: Ten Lessons for Power and Peace by Diane Dreher 9/21/2009 8:51:20 AMLao Tsu's vision of power and wholeness in the “Tao Te Ching” balances the two mighty opposites - the nurturing energy of yin and the assertive energy of yang. Diane Dreher's insightful book “The Tao of Womanhood” combines the wisdom of the “Tao Te Ching” with practical and much needed lessons for modern women. The ten lessons include: the yin of inner peace, the yang of personal power, lessons of oneness, centering, compassion, simplicity, natural cycles, personal power, timing, courage, strength, agency and harmony.
