Raya Shivadarshan arms readers with the tools for harnessing the power of their attention to create a more balanced, peaceful life in her new book, "The Power of Observation: A guide to Inner Healing" (published by Trafford Publishing).
"I wanted to provide hope and inspiration that we do not have to stay stuck with our suffering," Shivadarshan explains. "We can heal our minds, emotions and suffering and it can be done efficiently."
Using a simple, accessible approach, Shivadarshan stresses the importance of finding the calm within the storm, "so that everything that suffers within us loses the power to affect us and eventually ceases to exist." Drawing on the profound wisdom found on many spiritual paths, the book focuses on teaching readers how to apply this wisdom to their everyday lives.
An excerpt from "The Power of Observation":
"What we observe loses power over us: it affects us less. We can become a passive observer of ourselves and stay calm and centered as we watch a volcano rage or a turbulent storm turn into a hurricane. To observe is to find the calm within the storm, and the storm affects us less and less until it loses power to affect us at all. Eventually, the storm ceases to exist."
