On Our Knees : Loving Your Life Even When You Hate What’s Happening

From the New York Times bestselling author of Pussy comes a radical curriculum for full radiance by first claiming your darkness. You’ve been strong for so long. You’ve said ‘I’m fine’ so many times. But the world is crumbling. Your carefully constructed life may be too. And a voice you’ve been trained to ignore is asking: What if surrendering is not defeat – but the most powerful thing you have ever done?This is Regena Thomashauer’s reckoning with loss, darkness, the goddess and herself in the most daring, intimate and essential book of her life. Weaving her story with ten goddess archetypes – Aphrodite, Kali, Inanna, Lilith, Psyche and more – Mama Gena reveals that surrender is not the end of power. It is the doorway to it. Inside this book, you will discover:· Why the word ‘Fine’ is formaldehyde for a woman’s soul· The erotic science of pleasure as radical healing· Embodied rituals to alchemize grief, rage and loss into power· Why collapse is the making of the your most turned-on, sovereign selfThis is not a book about surviving your life. It is a book about being undone by it – and discovering a feminine power so ancient, vast and shockingly alive that nothing will ever look the same again.
