The Five Powers
A guide to Personal Peace and Freedom.
Published here for the first time, in eloquent text and illustration, is a guide to The Five Powers – Trust, Energy, Mindfulness, Calm and Wisdom – that nurture insight and spiritual empowerment.
Drawn from traditional Buddhist teachings and relevant to the challenges of a changing world, these capacities work together to release our vast potential and reveal our true, inner nature. The Five Powers invites you to bring deeper meaning and freedom into your life with this ancient toolkit for transformation.
Extract from The Five Powers:
‘Introduction -It can all feel a bit too much. We find ourselves occupied, from morning till night – reacting, responding and coping with uncontrollable and often difficult circumstances.
Life can seem an endless Sisyphean struggle, as we push the rock uphill only to watch it roll down once again. How can we rise above challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, frustration and the myriad of other conflicts and unhappiness that can assail us, meeting them from a place of greater equanimity and expansion? How do we perform a restart? Is it possible to radically transform our daily life? How do we emerge from this sense of endless struggle? How can we invite deeper meaning and more ease, steadiness and freedom into our lives? ‘
