Description
How do you create inner stability in times of chaos? How do you cultivate the power of presence? Where does humility meet mastery? These are just some of the threads of spiritual inquiry that Nikki de Carteret weaves into a tapestry of Soul power. Juxtaposing fascinating teachings from the ancient mystics with stories of modern seekers, de Carteret invites you to explore the factors that drain your spiritual energy and what transformational forces restore it. Written in a poetic and meditative style this book is a discovery of spirit and of spiritual growth.
REVIEWS
I have quite simply, never before read a book that made me feel so keenly the love of God or sense so many possibilities for a relationship with the divine. De Carteret’s special gift is taking spiritual concepts that other writers make difficult, and putting them into language that flows directly to our understanding. Many of these chapters resonate deeply within my heart, and I have become so much more vibrantly alive from reading them. Some say we live in a secular age, but the power of this book is that it shows how contemporary men and women, caught up in all the complexities and paradoxes of our times, can still experience a deepening commitment to spiritual growth, service, and joy.
-Joy Parker, co-author, Woman Who Glows in the Dark and Maya Cosmos
In this beautiful and touching expression of the spiritual journey, Ms de Carteret shares her own experience and observations of the path of the mystic at the same time that she integrates her knowledge and wisdom. I found myself receiving nourishment for my own spiritual journey as I read different sections of de Carteret’s book. Given where I was at the particular time, some stages offered me reflection of where I’ve been, others gave me encouragement for where I am, and yet others presented me with a glimpse into where I will go as I quest for a deeper, more personal relationship with God and a greater fullness of authenticity within myself.
-Barbara Shipka, author, Leadership in a Challenging World
Nikki de Carteret has taken a life-time’s experience of spiritual exploration and poured it into one book. It’s a unique combination of scholarly research and hands-on experience. By no means starter manual, Soul Power is a fascinating and useful manual for those already on the path to spiritual realization.
-Michael Rymer, Hollywood film Director
Soul Power is straight from the heart from a true spiritual teacher. De Carteret writes powerfully and credibly about spirituality because she lives spirituality not just day by day, but minute by minute.
