Rivers of Light / Austin Macauley Publishers Ltd (ePub)

Rivers of Light draws deeply on the ancient Chinese teachings of the Five Elements, guiding the reader through a personal wisdom journey of awakening and understanding. The teachings of the Five Elements describe our intimate connection to the laws, cycles and movements of nature, showing how all the Five Elements of the natural world live and work within each of us. However, we have an essential relationship with just one element, which plays out through a person's life and has a central role in all aspects of health, from the physical to the emotional, mental and spiritual. The author interprets this elemental relationship as karmic. She invites the reader to take a personal voyage as the book moves through the challenging shadowlands of stressful and difficult times that we all encounter, to lighter and blissful realms of higher consciousness, or the domain of the soul. Using meditations, affirmations and colourful descriptions alongside the text, the reader is drawn into a fascinating world of discovery, to answer the deeper questions that we all meet as we move through life: 'Why do I feel as I do?' 'Who am I really?' 'What am I here to learn or to understand?' To know ourselves on a profound level is perhaps more urgent than ever before, as we come face to face with uncertainty in this rapidly changing world.
