<p nowrap class="title_green">Autobiography</p>
<p nowrap class="text_green">
Esther Pomerantz a pharmacist, a practitioner of homeopathy and an artist, has had quite<br>
a journey to travel before successfully breaking through the wall of silence which had<br>
accompanied her since her birth. As an only daughter to parents who were survivors<br>
of the holocaust, she carried their ongoing trauma and embraced their defense-mechanism<br>
which manifested itself in shutting oneself up  and a survivor's life-style. In her exciting<br>
descriptions, Esther describes her childhood experiences for the readers, and illustrates<br>
with a sensitive eye a sketch of her parents. Towards the end of her twenties, Esther<br>
experienced one loss after another, losing her dear parents and son after the efforts of<br>
conventional medicine failed to save their lives. That was the background to her growing<br>
interest in homeopathy and Bach-remedies.<br><br>
Until a few years ago, she was busy mainly with survival. As a separated wife, she was<br>
forced to defend against her husband's lawsuits and became entrenched in her own life like<br>
a soldier in a bunker. She managed her pharmacy  and raised her two sons as a sole parent.<br>
But life's hardships and the the "iron lady" image which she so successfully cultivated<br>
didn't enable her to grieve over the loss of her dear ones. Over the years, the bereavement<br>
and sorrow accumulated in the depths of her soul, until her body collapsed under the<br>
emotional burden. During the process of recovery, Esther finally gave herself permission<br>
to mourn the death of her beloved son. Thus began a significant journey from a land<br>
of silence to a world of openness and creation.<br>
Still in the midst of this journey, she is striving to break through the consistent wall<br>
of silence in order to replace it with a new creation, a life-chain of openness and sharing<br>
that will continue in the generations to come.<br>
In the exposure of her life story and moving poems, Esther is conveying an important message<br>
to her sons, that openness has a power to invite vitality, in the hope that they will not <br>
adopt the patterns of survivors which took root in her family over the years.<br>
Esther is painting, writing poetry, expressing and sharing.<br>
Like a swan who looks around, and sees its own reflection with tranquility, self-approval<br>
and love, she looks upon her life with deep understanding and recognition, and a wish to<br>
provide a better future for her sons.<br><br>
"People with the virtues of a swan can see the future, give themselves to the power of the<br>
great spirit and accept the healing and transformation occurring in their lives"<br>
From the book: Cards of Medicine (Indian cards) by Jamie Sames and David Carson<br><br>

<p nowrap class="title_green">From the Introductions:</p>
<p nowrap class="text_green">
A few months ago I met at a café a good friend, engaging in personal development. Suddenly<br>
she spread on the table a packet of turned-over cards and suggested that I picked one out<br>
of them, while concentrating on my past. The card I pick out had an image of an armadillo<br>
whose entire body was buried in the ground. I concentrated again, this time on the present,<br>
and miraculously on the card appeared the image of a beautiful swan with a long neck.<br>
As it often happens, both pictures said more than a thousand words. Up to the moment I<br>
turned from an armored armadillo into a serene swan observing his life out of self<br>
awareness and understanding, I went through a long path strewed with obstacles.<br>
In a painful process the armor that stuck to me was peeled off, and instead, a pair of<br>
wings began growing. Today I am happy… Lightness and hovering replace the fortification,<br>
the hiding and the lack of spontaneity.<br><br>

<b>The Swan – Personal writing or a message to women wherever they are?</b><br><br>

Writing the book was for Esther a catalyst for a transformative healing process.<br>
As a result of this process she discovered her internal wisdom which is her power.<br>
Esther's direction of development was from introversion and shutting herself up to<br>
expression and extroversion, which enabled her to teach the way to many women who would<br>
follow her in a healing process of their own.<br><br>
Her message to the women is:<br>
Dear women, you must not only give birth to babies, you must give birth to yourselves<br>
all over again, meaning –be attentive to your inner voice, allow yourselves to conceive<br>
and give birth to who you really are, and create the reality of your lives instead of<br>
waiting passively and crashing into the rocks of reality that is created on its own.<br><br>

<b>What didn't Esther know about herself?</b><br><br>

Yes, she knew that she was responsible, organized, thorough and reliable. However,<br>
has she ever imagined that Esti would procreate out of herself the Esther who knows<br>
that she was such a pretty girl? Esther who is a brave woman? Creative? Spontaneous?<br>
Emotional? A woman with incredible power? A happy spontaneous woman who sometimes lets<br>
herself lark about as a child? Page after page Esther writes, as if weaving thread to<br>
thread the fabric of her life, being exposed to her own self no less than to us,<br>
the readers.<br><br>

(The writer is Tamar Zitrus, Esther's student of Intuitive Painting and an art critic.<br>
</p>

<p nowrap class="title_green">Readers write:</p>
<p nowrap class="text_green">
Hi Esti,<br><br>
A fascinating book, simply flowing and connects to your personal story. It was hard<br>
to put it down.<br>
I identified up to tears, I took many insights, I shared your pain and particularly<br>
the loss of your son; it is too hard to bear. Nevertheless, I connected to your powers,<br>
to this survival that was so controversial. This made me think that everything in our<br>
life has both good and bad.<br><br>

Today I feel that I know you well, I am closer and love more, I ask many questions,<br>
among others, why does life make us undergo these things and what is the lesson for us.<br>
Like you I pray that the future will light us all up with a shining light<br><br>
With love and a hug, Ilana<br>
Ilana Ben Shitrit – Personal Coach and Mediator<br><br>
