Power and Sex: Developing Inner Strength to Deal with the World - Softcover

Exploring themes as diverse as ancient Goddess religions, nuclear weapons decision-making and female circumcision, Power & Sex examines traditional ways in which power has been abused as a tool to dominate others - physically, sexually, politically and spiritually. Against this background the book outlines an alternative path which the author calls "hara power". Hara power refers to the synthesis of physical and spiritual energy, and is also the synthesis of the masculine and feminine within each of us. This book demonstrates how to develop hara power through self-knowledge, through the body and through our spirituality and sexuality. It details how, in both personal and public life, the inner fusion of the archetypal masculine and feminine energies holds the key to the kind of power the world needs now.
