Enlighten Up!: Finding Clarity, Contentment and Resilience in a Complicated World

Want to find more clarity, contentment and resilience in this complicated world we all live in? Cultivating self-awareness on a practical everyday down-to-earth level is the first step. When we lack self-awareness, it gets in the way of navigating life's ups and downs. Enlighten Up! presents a contemporary view of the five layers of self-awareness based on a 3,000-year-old model that provides a broader foundation for self-exploration than the more well-known mind/body model. Author Beth Gibbs uses humor and stories to teach you to recognize the influence these five layers have on your life. • Your physical body and environment. • Your breath and energy, which makes up your life force. • Your thoughts, beliefs and emotions. • Your intuition, which acts with compassionate, nonjudgmental wisdom. • Your connection to something larger than yourself. Learn how to apply this model of self-awareness to your own life through the tips and simple yoga practices shared in this book. Ideal for readers who are interested in mindfulness, self-awareness and simple yoga practices that anyone can do. Many of the teachings in this book are derived from the Eastern Philosophy tradition found in the Upanishads.
