Sovereign Self – Awaken Your Inner Freedom
Awaken your Inner Joy and Freedom with the empowering wisdom of the Vedas, Upanishads, and Bhagavad Gita with Sovereign Self.
Book Spotlight – Sovereign Self
Written by Acharya Shunya
Renowned spiritual teacher and scholar, Acharya Shunya, welcomes us to unshackle our minds and claim our birthright of freedom, wholeness, and joy through the perennial wisdom of ancient yoga in Sovereign Self. This book makes the profound teachings of yoga’s most influential texts both accessible and immediately practical for modern spiritual seekers.
There’s a reason that the Vedas, a 5,000-year-old collection of celebrated verses from ancient India, has given rise to several world religions and influenced Western thinkers from Emerson to Ram Dass—they provide us with a uniquely accessible and effective path to liberation and sovereignty. With SOVEREIGN SELF, Shunya shares a comprehensive and masterful guide to the wisdom of these classic texts so that each of us may emancipate ourselves from restrictive belief systems and discover our true nature—that which is always whole, joyful, and free.
As the first female lineage holder in a 2,000-year-old line of spiritual teachers, Shunya provides a rare opportunity to receive these authentic teachings from a genuine Vedic master—one with a distinctly down-to-earth, feminine style who never lets us forget that our humanity is to be embodied and enjoyed. Throughout SOVEREIGN SELF, Shunya adeptly walks us through the core concepts and practices of the Vedas, demystifying, and contextualizing sacred concepts for modern life. You will explore:
- Beginning the journey to radical self-acceptance—recognize your innate worth and wholeness
- How we create our own prisons of shame, compulsion, blame, and obsession—and how we can begin to break free
- Learning to embody personal autonomy in your life and relationships
- Clear advice for avoiding countless obstacles on the path to liberation—from spiritual bypassing to the true meaning of guru
- Original meditations and contemplative practices that are taken directly from Shunya’s 2000-year-old lineage
- How to wake up from being a “sleepwalker” and find authentic freedom, everlasting joy, and unshakable sovereignty
Filled with hidden insights and engaging guidance, Sovereign Self will help you awaken and recognize your potential to be joyful, resourceful, abundant, limitlessly expansive, and sovereign.
