The Five Powers – my new book has just been released in the UK and introduces the 5 powers, the key and the essential Buddhist teachings, and the qualities that we need in order to to navigate through life: Trust, Energy, Mindfulness, Wisdom and Calm. #uk #Mindfulness #CALM

"What is the difference between the thought ‘I must make a change in my life’ when it surfaces briefly and that same thought when it is like a virus infecting the mind and will not leave until it activates us to make the change?
The difference is urgency.”
