Dancing with Life
A book review: Diana Sans and the ten wisdom goddesses of Tantra as companions through light and dark.
Book review
Tantra is often misunderstood in the West. Diana Sans' book “Dancing with Life” sets that straight: it introduces the ten wisdom goddesses of Tantra – the Mahavidyas – as companions through light and dark.
A non-dual perspective
Tantra describes a worldview in which everything arises from the same essence – light and shadow, joy and pain belong together. Unlike the more form-focused Hatha Yoga, tantric practice invites us to connect, relaxed and lovingly, with everything that is – including our own surroundings and our own feelings.
Goddesses as mirrors
The ten goddesses are like inner figures who accompany us through different phases of life – powerful, tender, sometimes uncomfortable. Whoever engages with them learns to embrace the full spectrum of the feminine. For my Female work this is a wonderful complement.
My conclusion
A warm-hearted, profound book for everyone who seeks the sacred in the everyday and is ready to dance with life – in the light as in the dark. (O. W. Barth Verlag, 2024)
Meeting the goddesses
In my Female work and in women's circles we explore the feminine archetypes in a very practical way. You are warmly invited.
