The Art of Power by Thich Nhat Hanh. In this very timely book, Thich Nhat Hanh, Zen Master and human rights activist, gives us a refreshing and wise approach to power. He illustrates how our current understanding of power leads us on a never ending search for external markers like job title or salary. He shows us how power is one of the central issues of our lives. Whether we are at work or in a personal relationship, the struggle for power plays a pivotal role and more often than not prevents us from attaining freedom and happiness. Reading this book can help open your mind to another way to "be." Turning the conventional understanding on its head, the author teaches us that true power comes from within and that what we seek, we already have. With skillful means, he shows us the 3 elements in the base of authentic power -- it is accessed by cultivating the ability to "cut" one's delusions/anger/hate, by cultivating wisdom, and by cultivating love.

Kuan Yin: Accessing the Power of the Divine Feminine by Daniela Schenker. This beautiful and inspiring book can be used as a kind of “oracle” to work with the energies of the Divine feminine in one’s life. Open it on any day and allow the striking images and words of wisdom to provide you with an intuitive nudge about your path. Kuan Yin is revered by millions across spiritual traditions. A female bodhisattva (one who is fully devoted to the enlightenment of others), she stood at the gates of Nirvana ready to enter. But when she heard the cries of suffering in the world, she chose to remain in the human realm until the last sentient being was freed from pain. Author Daniela Schenker offers readers an exquisite book of full-color photographs and illustrations, along with invocations, meditations, and visualizations to summon the healing energy of this goddess of compassion and liberation. Daniela Schenker has been a student of Asian traditions for more than 20 years, traveling extensively throughout the world to trace both the history and modern worship of Kuan Yin. In this delightful book are 33 of Kuan Yin's manifestations, each with its own contemplation and watercolor image. There are tips on how to work with her Divine feminine energy and how to create your own altar for spiritual practice.

Visitors at My Door by Sabrina Fay Teiger. If you are in the process of opening more to spirit and spirit’s messages, you will delight in this book. Written by an intuitive guide and designer of inspirational messages, this is a book of dialogues between author Sabrina Teiger and the various "visitors" that knock on her inner doorway over the course of nine months. Each dialogue is insightful, transformational and speaks lovingly to your Human nature as well as your Divine nature, both of which are worthy of praise, love and celebration. The dialogues are simple and personal. They will show you that there are messages present in everything that your life brings forward. They will teach you about awareness, conscious choice, and freedom.

Mother-Daughter Wisdom by Dr. Christiana Northrup. This is a book that can help women create physical and emotional health. Dr. Northrup describes how the mother-daughter relationship is at the “headwaters” of every woman’s health. In this timely book, women can discover some new ways to view dysfunctional family dynamics. The focus is on creating balance, emotional health and physical health that serves one for a lifetime. It's more than just about relationships between mother and daughter, for inside is wisdom about early wounding, accessing one’s own feminine power, the emotional brain and things like shame, self-care, self-esteem, escaping painful emotions, and how to become "author" of one’s own life.

Ruling Your World by Sakyong Mipham. In this inspirational book, the revered spiritual leader Sakyong Mipham provides lessons of the ancient Shambhala warriors and rulers. He provides Westerners with practical advice on how to live our lives with confidence. These ancient strategies for modern life are a treasure, each chapter containing very useful information that can be applied in everyday circumstances. In this book, the author answers the following question: “what if you could approach every part of your life—from the smallest decisions to life’s biggest obstacles—with total confidence, clarity and control?” According to Sakyong Mipham, all of us have the power to do this. In this book, he shows us how. He also describes the ancient kingdom of Shambhala, a place of enlightened and benevolent kings and queens and fiercely trained warriors. The author is a descendent of a warrior king, and has inherited these teachings. He gives them to us as lessons, made relevant to our times through his approach. By reading it, we gain a sense of how to realize our potential for power and control in a seemingly uncontrollable world.

Truth Heals: What You Hide Can Hurt You by Dr. Deborah King. This ground-breaking book was written from the author’s personal experiences over many years as she did self-healing and helped others with healing. She shows us how peoples’ secrets can make them sick, and that secrets can ultimately kill. Dr. King describes what it takes to heal, how to share your truths in a safe and healing way, and how to unlock the power of your truth without reliving experiences or causing more harm.
